Supply and demand. He has one, you can't find one elsewhere, so...... pay up or walk away are the choices. As long as there's no damage, and I assume you're going to shoot it, it does have a manufacturer's warranty. It's scarce, so even if it had a slight scratch, he still might be able to get full retail for it. Your decision. How bad do you want it?
Is it OK to buy a floor model gun and pay NIB price?

New in box means new, unfired. Not inordinately messed with by customers. This is why some shops are a bit picky about people looking at guns, if you want to play and are not a buyer. Esp with higher dollar guns.
Thinking that the guns in the display case are not new in box makes little sense. By that logic all the rolexes in my buddies shop (he is a rolex dealer) are used.

After lusting after a Sig 1911 at a Cabela's and finding out the fondle unit was the only one left in stock, I asked the sales dood if they would discount the gun $5 for each time had been dry-fired.
He looked at me like I was an idiot.
Quality weapons are a lot more rugged than the everage Joe handles them. Careful manipulation of a weapon and it's systems is just part of the game.
I bought the Nightmare, BTW ...

Guns aren't handled like appliances. Most average gun shops don't have "floor samples" to look at and then huge warehouses with stacks of new guns to be sold to the customer. Generally, what is in the case or on the rack is what you get. Of course, you can order a gun "on the net", in which case you won't even get to see it or handle it until it arrives and the seller is on permanent vacation in Aruba.
