are handgun prices starting to come dowm

[Joe357]

I was doing my daily search on Guns America today and noticed that some of the vendors have prices on guns that are closer to what I was seeing last November. Could this be the start of "back to normal" ? Edited March 24, 2013 by joesig

Yes.

Good to see it huh? Now I think we are all just praying for the back to normal rise in ammo stock.

I have already noticed some vendors bringing down prices on AR's and AK's.  It's very good to see.

I've seen AR prices come down quite a bit, but so far the AK prices haven't fallen as quickly.

[frankmako]

yes they have. now if ammo would follow.

Why are handgun prices up to begin with? Ive seen gen 3 glocks for over 700$.

I don't suspect the handgun prices to come down much, and I fear they will sky rocket higher than before here soon.  Remember two things are driving gun prices, the threat of assault weapons ban and the large capacity clip thingy.  With the threat of assault weapons ban greatly deminished, there is still a strong chance of a high capacity mag ban, thus handguns with high capacity mags will stay threatened for some time.

My guess is this, the Gen 4s come with three STANDARD capacity mags so people probably made a rush on thoes. Then of course with Gen 3s still easy to find, thoes were next. Then of course you have the fanboys who just dont like the Gen 4s.

I haven't seen any prices come down myself and the stores still seem pretty bare last time I checked which was just the middle of last week.

I saw an AR15 at Bass Pro Shops after 3pm for under $800 yesterday. You know thing are starting to get better when you see AR15s make it to the display shelf and last well beyond lunch time.

Things are getting better. All across America 529 plans are now depleted.

Local gun shop in my area had a couple of M&P 15s for under 800 two days ago. I would say that is a sure sign of lower prices and rising availability.

Academy had 6 glocks in today ranging from $525 - $625 (17,19,26 and 21)

[Patton]

I saw a 10/22 and an AR15 pre Sandyhook/preelection prices on shelves at Sportsmans Warehouse without people even asking to see them.

Because most of them have those "evil high capacity" magazines.
