Floor model? Quite frequently, what one sees in the display case is the only gun of that type/model the outfit has in stock. A gun shop, even a big-box store with a large firearms sections may not have 15 or 20 guns in the back that match the floor model. S0000, quite frequently what one gets at the LGS, Gun-show, or the big-box store is what one sees--i.e., unless one wants the dealer to order the desired gun from their distributor (which of course can take a verrry long time).
