They want the good stuff, Colts, Rugers, S&Ws, etc. They don't want RGs. The reason is that guns are to them a tool of their trade, and like any workman they want good tools. Cheap guns are made for people who intend to keep it loaded and rarely use it. They are made to be able to be put in a dresser drawer and still be there ten years later when needed. They are for people who can't afford a good gun, but need something.
