The fact is there is nothing really special.
For me, I like Colt. I would want something that looks like military, although we all know the military one has a 14.5" barrel, has smaller FC pins, and of course the real thing is fully automatic. The other thing that seems to be special is the LEO Restricted markings, and that will only be available for a while, and it may be a collectors item at some point. Also, there is the fear of a Kerry presidency really clamping down on AW type guns. And of course, the artificial shortage caused by Colt itself by saying this is for LEO only... And the AWB just sunset, and there is a pent up demand.
I had been thinking about getting one but I can't see paying a whole lot over retail. $1100 maybe. But not $1500. Let's see if Clyde Armory can get me one.
