S&W SD9 and SD40 prices I saw today

[tercel89]

I never thought I'd see prices higher than a certain gun store near I65 ,,, but today I stopped in to a gun store that has average prices and where I've purchased from in the past. They had a whole lower shelf full of the SD9 and SD40 pistols for $585. I had to double check the tags. They were correct. These are $300-$350 guns all day long but dang man ! This was unreal . Nearly twice the going price is just unreal. Are gun prices jumping up high in you alls neck of the woods or is this shop just full of Bantha Fodder?

That’s a ridiculous price. Buds and SMGW are showing them at $360+.

That's a good way for the shop to lose some future sales.  I think back to post sandy hook craze and the numerous gun shops that popped up to gouge the panic buyers, almost none of them are still around.

It’s pretty bad everywhere I’ve looked. Even the shops I usually frequent, and like, are pretty out there right now. Over the last week, I’ve probably been in 10 spots, and haven’t purchased anything. Priced a gun at $1541 after TTT today, when I offered 1500 cash they said no. Left it behind on principle.

Something is worth only what someone is willing to pay.  Maybe that gun store is hoping for that special someone to walk in.

All is not lost, I managed to find a couple today at GT Distributors down in Chattanooga. I’d recommend a visit to anyone in the area. Several police trade Glocks and M&P’s under 400 and Sig 1911R for 699. Last time I was there I picked a S&W 4516 and a 351PD for less than 850 out the door. So it seems they haven’t changed as much as the status quo.
