Before the election, 40 Glocks were in the 500-550 range, now they stickers are around 650+. The Kimbers have gotten higher(even though they are not high capicity), the TLEII was around $750-$800, In December they jumped to over $1000. Funny thing is, the less popular, but no less quality by any means, guns like the HK's and SIg's are still around their prices of a year ago. It grips my butt that shops I have traded with are gouging on their prices, its one thing to charge retail to make a living, its another to pad the prices based on false speculation and hysteria, sounds a lot the fuel prices from last summer.

tell me about it, the prices of ak's are well over 700, even the crappy yugo's they were only 200-300 before all that crap, even the sks's at least 400, thats a damn 100-200 dollar gun at its best.
