Does anyone know about "Glock's new Minimum Advertising Price (MAP) Policy?

Sites like Glockworld and Topglock very recently listed prices on all guns. Really good deals! One example - G19 just $459 (free shipping and no sales tax, depending upon state of purchase on topglock).

Now, apparently, they can't list their low prices on-line. Perhaps they could list prices if they were higher?

Now customers must call the on-line vendors (listed above) to obtain their best sale prices.

What's going on? Are bricks and mortar dealers swaying Glock to level the playing field at customers' expense?
