Just a few seen on gun.deals:
PSA Dagger package: https://gun.deals/product/psa-dagge...el-10-15rd-mags-black-dlc-37999-free-shipping

Rock Island 10mm: https://gun.deals/product/rock-island-rock-ultra-fs-10mm-8-round-pistol-parkerized-51991-64999

Kel-tec Sub2000 Gen 2 $279 after rebate: https://gun.deals/product/kel-tec-sub-2000-gen-2-9mm-glock-17-499

And police .40 trade ins at https://aimsurplus.com/categories/firearm/handgun

We have gone from empty shelves to attractive pricing in two years. Name brand 9mm 124gr FMJ for $260 shipped also brightens my day. Pretty amazing, considering that each of today's $$ is a lot easier to come by than in the 80s.

Is slickguns a legit website?
 
As I understand it, gun.deals, which once went by Slickguns, is a search engine and aggregator for firearms-related business. It may get a few pennies when you use its links to take advantage of a deal, but the deal is with the offering business such as Palmetto State Armory, Sportsman's Guide, etc. Some of the offering businesses, such as Cheaper Than Dirt, I would not do business with, but I suspect that most are on the up and up.

Since Slickguns has transitioned to gun.deals, I would be wary of anyone going by the old name. I will edit my original post.
 
It's been quite a few years. But I've bought from cheaper Than dirt. I never had a problem. Have they changed?
 
I saw Federal lpp for sale on line last week. They even stuck around for a few days. I think they were 90 bucks a thousand shipped. Things are getting better, but as anchorite said: there's a long way to go and an election coming up.

CTD was home of the $99 50 round box of 9mm FMJ range ammo during the COVID show. Depending on your viewpoint, that can either be a shining example capitalistic supply and demand, or just blatant price gouging to take advantage of unprepared shooters.
 
A long time ago when military surplus was actually military surplus I bought from CTD and Sportman'sGuide.com. I never bought firearms or firearm related items from either.
 
Just received an email. Castle Arms has a boat load of police trade-ins, Smith and Wesson M&P, Anderson AR-15, Beretta Px4, and Sig Sauer starting at $499 and down. Also S&W Model 64s ($550) and Taurus 82 ($299) Police trade-ins as well as some Glocks under $425
 
Beretta has great marketing savvy, and they are blowing models just revised in last year or two out the door. Either a game changer is in the pipeline, or they expect demand to drop significantly. Polymer striker 9s market may be close to saturation.
 
My buddy just sent me a picture of Academy's website and had PMC Bronze 9mm for $9.99/box of 50. I was thinking nice pic, next time how bout a link :D

I spent 10 mins trying to find it and by the time I got to it some people in the comments said they picked up 10K rounds and all that was left was some other brand for $14.99/50. I guess it pays to check often and sign up for alerts.... $200/1Krds of brass cased 9mm was inconceivable 2-3 years ago....

Yikes, those are pretty brutal reviews, mostly 1 star reviews. It also seems the literacy skills in this country are astonishingly bad......

I have had probably thousands of issues of CTD over the last 15 years, but I've always been able to find ammo and shooting gear cheaper elsewhere, especially these last few years. There aren't many deals to be had from CTD in my experience, unless you're looking for some military surplus items, there are better places to shop from.
 
I receive daily emails with more deals as the new gun market contracts even more. Lately it's been more AR related price drops but still seeing some in the handgun arena.

They started doing that back in 2007 during the Iraq War Surge when ammo got scarce.
