My favorite gun dearler here in the Seattle area had some G 31's new in the box for 420.00 and i about had a heart attack when i saw that cheap price. The dealer told me that the G31's he had bought on a special deal were the earlier models that did not incorperate the tach light rail in the frame. All i could do is say who cares about cosmetics and get the paper work ready i want one right now. Last time i saw Glock prices that cheap  was back in the early 90's. when the G 17 was introduced.  Good to go...  V 2
