I got this one from the owners son. I can assure you its all matching and a real Navy gun. Ill post a photo in a few. I just got it out of the safe so I can send it off. In the past I might agree with you. Reed had and still doesnt have any concern for the civilian market. Trey (C Reed Knight III) is trying to change that with Lawmens and so far it seems to be working slowly. The attention is still not paid to the customer that should be though. I got my stuff pretty fast but I know Trey personally. Not everyone is as fortunate.
EDIT I read your post too fast. Yes everything is either rejects or runoff. They dont tool up anything special for the civilian market as far as I know. As long as the US has a contract there will always be a small supply of KAC stuff. That little bit of stuff commands a high price and is probably the reason for its small following.
