Yeah, and those mags can be anywhere between 40 to 99 dollars too.

But it's better than 1 to 2 mags so just the norm now.

[u/knine71551 → u/GinnAdvent]

Yup exactly it’s quite the price change though ooof

[u/GinnAdvent → u/knine71551]

I think more people are willing to pull the trigger now despite the price hike due to that it will likely be your last pistol until something else changes, and I think at very minimum 3 mags for sure

[u/knine71551 → u/GinnAdvent]

I think the market is clearly calming down and being less of a frenzy though not everything is selling anymore

[u/GinnAdvent → u/knine71551]

For more rare ones, they are still flying off the shelves. For more plentiful ones, it takes a while to move them.

One store is selling the basic Sig P320 for like almost 1k, that barely sell any at all. While other stores selling for 740 to 799 ea got cleared out pretty quick.

[u/knine71551 → u/GinnAdvent]

It’s funny cause somehow Glock is now considered rare all the Turkish clones and wtc are just sitting there

[u/GinnAdvent → u/knine71551]

Yeah, because only importers like Irungun and ArmEast are bringing them in, but that's about it.

Other than that, you see more CZ, SA, Walther, and Sig. Lesser degree include MagRe, HK, SW, Beretta, and Ruger.

There are. Always steady stream of milsurp too.

[u/knine71551 → u/GinnAdvent]

It’s Glock Canada too it’s just weird cause in the states they are so abundant and cheap

[u/GinnAdvent → u/knine71551]

Yeah, I bet they sell like hot cakes now being the rarest one.

I heard Stoger Canada stop importing Beretta from Italy due to the potential handgun freeze, so maybe the larger importers don't want to risk it. Some stores are even pre ordering for them.

[u/knine71551 → u/GinnAdvent]

I saw that Stoger said they wouldn’t do it anymore on CGN so the last batch of Barrettas was it until September passes

[u/GinnAdvent → u/knine71551]

Just saw Tenda has some Glock, but their selection is a bit interesting, lol

[u/knine71551 → u/GinnAdvent]

Isn’t it all sold out now lol you missed it just by couple hours. G4C sold out within 1 hr of posting

[u/GinnAdvent → u/knine71551]

Yeah, I just saw it, also check out G4C as well. It's all gone now. Haha

[u/GinnAdvent → u/knine71551]

If they manage to get some in. I think other stores will do the same. I think they are just testing the water and see how fast it will go so they won't get stuck with inventory.

[u/knine71551 → u/GinnAdvent]

My guess is that was one of their last hurrahs they already kept getting short shipped from their distributor

[u/GinnAdvent → u/knine71551]

It depend on how gutsy they are since. All the Glocks has already jump on price, they sell out within hours, the demands is high. As long they can get transfer going, I am sure they can sell more before middle of September.

But they can't sell it too high because it's Glock, so you have to find sweet spot.

I thought it was the last hurrah for Sig as well a month ago, and bought 1 for slightly more expensive price, now they are kind of everywhere. Lol.

But people will want 1 or 2 Glocks in their collection for sure, so as long they sold out quick, they will be fine. The one Tenda has right now is chamber in 357 Sig and 40 SW and one compensate barrel at higher cost and less common caliber. Unlike G4C all Glock 7, 4 and 5 gen model with HER which are everyone favorite. That's why it sold out quick.

[u/knine71551 → u/GinnAdvent]

I mean depends on what sig cause legions are sold out everywhere
