Just in Time For The Holidays, Blackwater's "Special Edition" Sig Sauer Handgun

Blackwater's recent troubles (the alleged indiscriminate killing of Iraqi civilians by the company's "independent contractors") have led to speculation that Erik Prince, Blackwater's founder and president, may seek to lead his company into new and perhaps less controversial lines of business. What better way to do that than by marketing a signature handgun? That's right, the embattled private military firm has apparently partnered with arms manufacturer Sig Sauer to offer a "Blackwater Special Edition P226," a 9mm handgun. According to the ad (posted to Wired's Danger Zone), "When personal protection of world leaders in high-risk environments is your job then you only want the best equipment." Run and get yours now while supplies last.

This edition has been around for a while. The reviews for this gun consistently say two things. First this gun despite looking really cool has serious flaws. The second is that it is overpriced. Kind of like Blackwater.
