The market has definately softened.

Panic buying for ARs has gone away. Some manufacturers have gone the wayside with that market. Others have slashed prices, which highlights price gouging in their history. Sorry, but zero sympathy for them.
Good guns will always be in demand due to repeat customers. Ruger has adapted well by building limited runs of off beat firearms. Kudos to them...
Custom manufacturers are booked solid too. Small bore revolvers are ever increasing in popularity. Ruger has introduced four new models of 327s. Think Gary has seen an uptick in small bore customs.
Personally, I'm glad to see a lot of this. Limited editions of Ruger #1s and 77s. Never figured on a NIB 275 Rigby, but I got one.
according to what guns you are talking about. The

AR-15s are dead in the water. Concealed carry guns are still strong, especially with good reliable companies like Ruger and S&W, Can't give away the high priced Sigs and a couple of others so we just dropped them. Hornady has dropped some of the prices on their ammo.
Lots of calls about the new stuff like the Ruger 1911s and their long range Precision Rifle, which apparently, due to everybody else coming out with one, Ruger's prices are now lower then before.
The market is strong. Some brands that have sort of a nasty name and reputation for a less than stellar record of customer service are taking a licking but overall the market is strong. If someone were to want an AR-15, now is the time.
