Just got my tracking numbers on the backordered 9mm from Cabelas. It's coming from three different locations, but is supposed to all be here by Friday. Amazing!

 Wow! Hopefully this is indicative of things to come with falling prices in the firearm market. May be some good prices on silencers are around the corner...

My thought on suppressors is that IF (and that's a BIG "if") they are actually deregulated we won't see the prices fall any time soon... in fact, I imagine the surge in demand would make prices stay the same or even trend upwards for awhile.  Eventually, they would come down after a year or so after just about everyone who was shy about getting one due to paperwork and taxes got theirs, and then things would  settle down.

I'm just barely hopeful that the HPA would actually get passed under Trump.  I think, as with all politicians, we'll see a whole lot less of what folks hoped for in his campaign actually come to fruition during his administration.  That's just li'l ol' pessimistic me talkin'.  Of course, I also am on record as thinking Hillary was gunna cream him in the election... I obviously know nothing.  :-D

Regulating them is a crock to begin with, so hopefully it gets passed. Criminals never do the paperwork on one. Plus, unlike the movies, no one goes around shooting everyone in a building with one "silently." And if you really want to, you can buy all the parts legally to assemble one from a maglite on eBay. Just like a sbr, it is not illegal until assembled without proper paperwork. Or any good machine shop could crank them out all day long.

I am a pessimist on it too. Lots of promises get made to get in office, but many of those never cross the Whitehouse threshold. 

I think we might see some good prices on the used/resell market in a few months as the people that bought a bunch of guns before the election with hopes of racking up cash after need to pay rent. Kind of like the guys lining up to hoard .22LR over the past while. Just buying stuff to reduce supply and drive up prices. Same guys bought all the Tickle-Me Elmos at one point and sold them in the parking lot for double. It is just a profit racket for them. Leaving those of us that enjoy gun sports ( or Elmo lol) out in the cold.

If suppressors came out from under NFA rules, the immediate issue would be the production ability of the current industry.  I think, that once sales of them became commonplace, then the major manufacturers (DD, BCM, et al) would add suppressor machining to their factories and alongside the current ones, would get enough to the market to start having price wars.  All that would probably take a year to hit a favorable level to the consumer level, but they won't be near as expensive as they are now.

Yep, pretty much.

if suppressors were unrestricted, they would drop at least 50% in price, possibly even 75%.  There's not much to them, and the price wars would start from the big time mfr's making $800 suppressors a thing of the past.

If...if, that big damned if.  The dream scenario is early action on this if the NRA pulls the right lever (I'm not convinced that an NFA repeal is in their political favor), and we see suppressors at can't pass up prices for Black Friday 2017.

If you guys ordered the 9mm from cabela's make sure to check the label if you are dumping the ammo in cans.  I found 12 boxes of 147gr mixed in with the 115's.  Which is awesome because I can suppress it .  I think they just stuffed the boxes with whatever was lying around.

That does suck, I have printed the rebate form but haven't looked through the directions.
