Handguns In/Not-In Inventory

[45Doll 5,877]

Both my NJ and PA FFLs are members of the Gallery Of Guns network. So I've frequently used them if, for nothing else, get pricing. And of course for ordering if the price is right.

Somewhere in a post last week I mentioned GoG being out of stock on a lot. So I decided to check back today. I searched for semi-auto pistols in stock, period. Here's what I found:

• Beretta - 0
• CZ - 3 P10s and one Shadow at $2K
• Glock - 0
• H&K - 0
• Kimber - 0 (for some reason Type is not available for Kimber, so I assume it includes revolvers)
• Sig - 0
• S&W - only Victorys in .22

That's a lot less than even slim pickings. The I searched on Gun Broker for a Glock 21 Gen4. There was ONE listed, at a starting bid of $800. That's 35% more than I paid for my last one.

If anyone would like to add info on popular guns they do or don't find in stock somewhere, feel free. I think it's going to be like this (or worse if possible) all the way through the election. And then, if by some act of Satan Biden wins (and can still speak), it will remain this way in perpetuity.

Also, if anyone has actual info on current factory production numbers at the other end of the pipe, I'd like to know what they are.

Note: The July numbers are in, and the first half of this year has seen more background checks than any year since 1999. By a lot!

Thanks for the graph. 

I work at a shop in Southern Ocean County (I know...A long haul from Sussex) and we are pretty cleaned out of Glocks, Rugers and Sigs, but we still have some Springfields, FN, CZ, Beretta, some S&W. We have a few good used handguns, too. 

Lemme know via PM if there is something you are looking for and I will get back to you.

You're welcome. As far as firearms go I am set. But others on the forum, especially in south Jersey, should take note of your items. "We're all in this together." (Schooner Tuna, Mister Mom)

Put the graph on other topic, break down by Month/state. Numbers definitely on the rise.

What is the used market like?

If Sleepy Joe wins, we'll be in a world of hurt for a very long time.

Anyone looking for guns, you can always check out the for sale section here or post on looking to buy section here also. Got some pretty good luck on the forum.

Very thin.... 2 Sig 9mm, Px4 9mm, S&W 459 nickel, HK USP .40. A few older hunting guns, pumps and bolts. Some oddball stuff too..... a 9 inch or so Single Six. Nothing like normal times, but these are not normal times.

I'm buying retail from PSA, Primary Arms, Brownells, SOSS, etc. Then reselling after my markup. So basically, 30% over normal cost. And, I can't keep them in stock.
