shortage of handguns. One of our distributors told me 3 of the main handgun makers had one assembly line working and were putting out one tenth of the guns they normally do. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen but either way we can't order anything or very few things. The distributors call every morning and tell us what they got in overnight and tell us what they can offer us. It is a pain but that is how things are these days. We have been in business for over 40 years so we have kissed enough butt that we are fine with ammo, 9mm, 223, 40 and 45 and have 15 or 20 handguns in the showcases so we aren't hurting really bad so far. We have maybe half of what guns we normally have but at least the cupboard isn't bare.

We still aren't getting any estate sales. People are either hanging on to their guns or even worse yet are selling them to any yoyo that has the money and that is just asking for trouble. But like I said below the prices aren't gouging by the gun shops, the prices are higher from the manufacturers. Some shops that were able to stock up on guns at lower prices before all this crap happened aren't affected by all this as they have guns they paid less for and can price them less than their competitor. That is the way things are but it makes the rest of us look like we are gouging when we have the same percentage we always have. I wish the regulars on here would quit posting the prices they pay for their guns as it just makes the rest of us look like we are raping the public.
