On a whim I browsed the Bud’s website and discovered they have the K40 for barely over $300. I used the make an offer feature and got it for $297. Given that the K9 is listed for around $600 that’s quite a deal. Of course I ordered one and I wanted to pass the message along in case anyone else wanted to take advantage.

there's also a $45 rebate coupon code. So you can pick up a new K40 and extra mag or holster all for under $300... Thanks for the heads up OP...

Well that didn't last long. Now they are $450 for the cheapest one.

The odd thing is that buds had it listed for $297, I signed into my account added to my cart and when I went to pay the price showed $460.

The old bait & switch maybe.

I already have a K9 & K40-Black Diamond. For that price I wanted the black diamond to have a brother :)

Sorry. At least maybe a couple of people got one.

Damn! That makes my old black carbon steel K40 with night sights not worth much!

I think they probably have a pricing algorithm similar to Amazon. They dropped the price until it was so low some one noticed, then once they sold a couple the system noticed the increase in popularity and bumped the price up. It might be worthwhile to keep checking it occasionally to see if it trends back down.

I think it's more like they got a few for a low price, amd once those sold, thet raised the price. Their profit margins remain the same regardless... Plus, Buds does not hold the item for you while it's in your cart... Someone else probably sent submitted their payment before you.

It was listed at $300 for about a day. It may be temporary lowered again. I've missed deals at Buds, stalked their website like once every other hour or so for a few days, and eventually the price dropped one last time. Happened to me twice so far.

I’m going to use my rebate to pay half the cost of a set of night sights.

The price has more than doubled now @ $717 for cash. Hopefully our orders aren't cancelled because it was a pricing mistake on their part.

I received an email saying mine is ready for pickup, so they apparently didn’t cancel mine. I’m picking it up at Buds retail store so I haven’t actually paid for it yet.

Yea, mine is out for delivery. The skeptic in me still thinks there has to be a catch somewhere. These don't even sell this cheap used.

I'd like to thank you for taking the time to post the deal. I haven't visited this sight in several months, but guess I did at the right time. Looks like just you and I are the only members who reportedly were able to snag one.

Next up are sights and a gun and mag holster.

As a consolation prize they have the black P40 for $338.

Thought the deal was to good to be true, but I was wrong.
Picked her up last week. Now I have two K40s and a K9. Just one thing though, the slide stop/takedown lever on the Buds K40 is different and seems to have been upgraded vs the K40 and K9 I already own.

Did you put in for the rebate? I did over a week ago now, but still haven't heard anything. They claimed it would only take 2 business days.... I had to use a screenshot of the Buds' online invoice being that they didn't send a receipt with the gun.

I submitted for a rebate on a PM45 Monday and haven’t heard back either. Maybe they are backed up with the NRA show. If I don’t hear something next week I’m going to reach out to them again.

Thanks for letting me know. I feel better knowing that it isn't just me.

Yes I did. I got the chance to put 100 rounds through it on Friday. It shot just as well as I had hoped.

My gun had a sticker on the plastic bag stating that P and K series guns now have lifetime warranties. That was a nice surprise.
