Given their history of gouging over the last few months, I would have to be pretty damned desperate to ever buy from CTD again.NRA Life Member

This. I won't buy from them again, plain and simpleOriginally posted by RRP View PostGiven their history of gouging over the last few months, I would have to be pretty damned desperate to ever buy from CTD again.No sir, I do not own any guns. I sold them all in fear that they might grow legs and murder me and my family since they've been portrayed as such evil objects by our current administration

In the current climate I think most everyone is gouging. Some quickly learned and amended their ways. Some didn't.
I don't recall ever buying from CTD but if they have stock and are the cheapest available one might have to reconsider.
I too try hard to support local, inspite of record sales I'm sure they are all struggling and we need as many suppliers as we can.
Most all big mail order places you have to sort the wheat from the chaffe. They show good deals on something as a draw and then have their way with you on other stuff.http://bawanna45.wix.com/bawannas-grip-emporium#!

i bought my xdm pearce grip extensions and extra mags from ctd. had my goods within a few days, not an issue.
that being said, i've also heard some not so good things from some of my buddies and people on this site. unfortuanately during these trying times places may over charge and get a bit carried away. it's sad, apparently they feel the need, or are just plan greedy. who knows...
all i know is that it's up to me whether i buy from them or not. i try to buy locally whenver possible, no matter what.

Given the fact that I couldn't find any 6 round mags anywhere else, $31 for a kahr mag doesn't exactly sound like gouging. I paid $40 from Kahr for the same mag.Originally posted by RRP View PostGiven their history of gouging over the last few months, I would have to be pretty damned desperate to ever buy from CTD again.
I didn't buy $59 Tula 9mm from CTD nor would i ever, but the mag was priced right.

Buy the stuff that's priced right, and leave the gouging products on the shelf. Especially when it's something hard to find.http://bawanna45.wix.com/bawannas-grip-emporium#!

While I agree with this to a degree, there's a huge difference. I can understand a distributor going up to $20 on a Pmag in a crazed time, that's around a $6 markup. But, Cheaper than dirt went up to $100, which to me is not only price gouging, it's flipping the middle finger to the consumer. I'm not mad about it, simply because I'm not stupid enough to pay that wether they're going to be banned or not, but to me there's a principle involved. Also them taking down all their firearms off the website and replacing them with a "sorry, we don't sell firearms" banner a couple days after Newtown smelled rotten.Originally posted by Bawanna View PostIn the current climate I think most everyone is gouging.

I agree also, I'd forgotten that travesty. Many many places are doing the Pmag gouge though, I watched a Windham AR make 4 200$ price increases with in a week, that was at a local department store. So they are gouging too.Originally posted by KKing View PostWhile I agree with this to a degree, there's a huge difference.

I should have bought the darn thing at 799 on BLACK friday. It was on the rack, same gun at 1299 last I saw and gone shortly after. A little profit made there.
Like I said I don't recall buying anything from CTD but I may have at some time. I support local when I can and go for the best deal when I can't.http://bawanna45.wix.com/bawannas-grip-emporium#!
