Just an observation. If this is the case it's happening when there is plenty of money floating around, unemployment at 3.7% and stock market at all time high. What would be happening with the prices of these guns if the country was in hard or even average economic times?

That is a bit misleading. Guns are cheap everywhere now. Colt just came out with a new python and demand is high and you can still find it for less than MSRP. Same with glocks, remingtons, winchesters, brownings, smiths, benelli, turnbull, etc etc etc.

We had a record 8-10 year period of gun prices and gun sales, good economy or bad economy. We are paying for some of that now. It is a buyers market, there just isn't a big impetus to get people buying after the previous gun boom.
