Hi,

I was in a local store here in CT (Hoffman's) in early December looking for a shot gun. While I was there, I walked the store and seen case after case of revolvers. They had everything there.. all the "allocated" models that are so popular.. all there and in multiple numbers. I made a mental note to come back when I was ready to buy a revolver.

My co-worker went there about two weeks ago to shoot at the range. He was also looking for a semi-auto pistol. His dad was with him looking into revolvers. He told me the store was almost cleaned out and that there was only one case with revolvers in it and there was about, maybe, a dozen revolvers left in the store. He asked the sales person and he told my co-worker that the store had thousands of guns on back order and that some companies had already filled their quota for 2013 and were excepting no new orders.

So, looks like it will be a while yet before things get back to normal stock levels and prices.
