How in the hell do you guys get the “smilies”?

Yep. That's the marginal production cost of a single unit, presumably unloaded from marketing and R&D and so forth. But yep-- all spelled out in the filings from those lawsuits. I seem to recall it was $228 loaded with the other costs, for a 66%+ margin. Here:

If my numbers are slightly wrong, my apologies, it's been 30 months since I read it, and I'm not an accountant.

don't forget the couple of layers of distributing they go through before they get to the dealer...not a 66% margin for anyone...cept the people here selling used ones

My wife gives me the "smilies" when ever I do the dishes with out being asked.

I doubt that they cost more than a 100 bucks to produce.

someone told me it was either $20 or $40 i cant remember. once the production machines used are paid for its only materials cost. Since they buy in bulk, plastic and steel cant cost that much. So I believe it. one reason all glocks are basically the same. no new production cost. Theyre just riding the cash cow.

Wait; you're supposed to clean them? I don't believe it.

Next you'll tell me I'm supposed to clean AR's.

Yep if you want them to work properly! If you don't care about jams or feeding issues under stressful life threatening gun battles then cleaning is not necessary, lol.
