I have seen it on a bunch of other forums. Hopefully they will slow down and get their quality control back up to speed again.

Their market share's went through the roof due to sale's and they are heavily back ordered. The LCP is a frontleader in company sales. From what I've seen it appear's improved QC, customer oriented product's and very competitive pricing is paying off for them. S&W is also having a very good year as well, strange tiding's of the future or not I'm glad to see both companies doing well.

Every maker is having the same problem. Daniel Defense told me in February they were already 90% sold out for the year. The distributors are also telling us that ammo and guns are getting scarce. It's going to one of those election years.

Wish I had purchased their stock, in addition to guns.

Between Obama scaring everyone and putting 6ft of dirt on ole Bill *spit*

Ruger as a company has really shifted gears and dropped the hammer. I'm proud of them in spite of some of their faults.

What EXACTLY has Obama done or said to scare anyone. The only people we have to thank for the high prices and shortages are our old friends at the NRA for making everyone think Obama is coming for our guns in an attempt to get you to send them more money.

Feb 11, 2008 - "We can have reasonable, thoughtful gun control measures..."

The Audacity of Hope, page 215 - " I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities..."

1996 - endorsed IL handgun ban

2008 - "...It's not suprising, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them..."

Keep your head in the sand brother, it won't be long now.

Every socialist on the planet starts with disarming their populace! If Obama gets a second term he will have an Executive order restricting firearms in the first month. By his sixth month we will be lining up to turn them in. Just remember this prediction.

I'm gonna have to step on some toes and say the nra has done more to raise prices by fear mongering for donations then anything else. Obama doesn't have the clout or ability to enact anti-gun legislation no matter how much the media and the nra tell us otherwise. I know where his stance is but he will not be able to even do as much as Clinton did. Just a fact.

[VERO1]

In this case I think we are our on worst enemies. Panic buying and hoarding ammo/supplies/guns starts its own vicious cycle of shortages.

Obama's senior legal advisor during his last election campaign was Eric Holder.

Fast and Furious Holder was nominated by obama as Attorney General on 1/20/2009.

Holder said on 2/26/2009, that the Obama administration would seek to expand the expired Assault Weapons Ban.

Holder has said, "a public campaign needs to really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way".

It appears this campaign is working. Hopefully I'll be able to aquire a few more Rugers and other guns, before it succeeds.

You know we could all just vote republican...put down the "tea party" "ron paul" mantle and work together...hold our nose and realize that if we don't all vote republican we are just as guilty for any new gun laws as the people writing them.

You have nothing to fear from Obama if he doesn't get elected...just saying....

We're going to be stuck with this clown as a former president/community activist for the next 30 years. He'll be fomenting hatred 'till the day that he dies.

Obama and the Brady bunch didn’t do anything last election and I doubt they will get anything done after this election. Will they try? Absolutely. Will they get anything done that can trump States Rights or the recent SCOTUS decisions? Doubtful.

Exactly. I'm not sure there's a more paranoid bunch.

Such shortages are ALWAYS temporary. Here's what will happen: Prices will go up until supply catches up with demand. Typically, demand also drops, so prices have to drop as well. The only thing that interferes with this process is a true shortage of materials, or government interference. There is no lack of copper, zinc, lead, or nitrates, so the only thing that can stop this process is government regulation.

How much you wanna bet. Guns have become way to mainstream, TV shows, Wal-mart selling assault rifles, every other person in the US seems to have a HCP permit. A female US Congresswoman attempted assassination and murder of young girl in the process does not even hardly raise an anti gun news story. He will be re-elected, nothing will happen to our gun rights and we will have pay a premium and endure shortages until the fearmongering subsides.

When they come and kick in your door to take your guns and ammo, you'll just have more guns and ammo for them to take. And a lot less money.

Who is going to come and kick in my door and take my guns?
