I'm a small-shop FFL. Not open to the public, I have no showroom, but I sell LOTS of guns via websight, Gunbroker, direct. Typically ship to my customer's local FFL Dealer. I do many special orders. And the bonus for the customer: If you are not in my state, then I do not collect sales tax.
Now S&W J-Frames are almost impossible to get. BG380's are in short supply. I just got ONE Shield from a distributer, my rep only had ONE alloticated to him and he called me first. Guess who I'm going to buy from the most!
I haven't checked distributer inventory much on the M&P line, but there are still models in .357SIG available at the distributer level.
No Ruger MKIII pistols & other models anywhere. Slim pickings on 9MM Glocks.
Lots of the quality handguns in the $400-$600 range are almost impossible to get. High-end handguns over $1500 are still plenty. Low end stuff under $350 is starting to dry up.
And ammo is sketchy. Just got an e-mail that ammo prices will go up May 1st by the manufacturers.
It all equals Obam-Fever. Buy 'em when you can, it will only get worse.... and THEN recover IF we change the administration.
