You don't really mean this...... do you?

For one, the day I buy an M9 for $7K, is the last day I stay married.

If there were a $3-4-5K M9. I might be tempted.
For a backup camera, a $3-4-5K M9 would also sell like hotcakes.

If you double the volume, ( using the perverse and inverse of Moore's Law)
the manufacturing cost should halve.

A lower retail price isn't going to make enough difference in demand to get
the volume production needed to reduce production cost.
