	Actually, there would be minimal cost increases, buying 1500 Glock 17s
would be ALMOST the same cost as buying 500 Beretta 92FSs, 500 Smith &
Wesson SW99s, and 500 Sig P229s.
	And if there is a price difference who pays it? the taxpayers?  So
every taxpayer will have to pay an additional $0.25.  Mininmal when
compared to...well, anything!  But certainly minimal when compared to
the cost of training a new agent because one died due to complications
with his firearm at a critical moment.
