Already?! It's not even 100 years old

I expect the prices of them to go up with these rumours/truth.  May also be a marketing ploy to get more sales for it.  And, if sales get better, they may continue to keep producing it.  But, who knows?

Could be...like a "Farewell Tour" in the rock and roll world...good for ticket sales     

I guess the High Power I'd want has already been manufactured and is already pricey...WWII era.  I don't buy a lot of newly manufactured firearms. If the reported facts, or rumors, are true then it's sad in an "end of an era" sort of way.
