Was looking at the 1911 10MM from CTD just hit the site and-- http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/GUN-51918

Knee jerk reaction.

People who are bugged by online sales won't care that they stopped, and people who buy from them arent bugged by them.

What really bugs me is the way they jacked up the prices on pmags today.

Guess they are afraid of the heat so shut it all down! Their shipping fiasco was enough to lose me as a customer.

Wait and see stance too me.No sense restocking if the hammer drops.

Intercooler · December 18 2012 05:59:20 PM MST

Not me. I ordered 5250 rounds of .22LR through my Bro today ${$default_shocked_smiley}$

That was in regards to CTD.I remember an article not to long ago about Cabelas.They stated that they will restock based upon election.tell tale signs my friend.

I guess I don't understand CTD's decision, unless they plan on holding inventory for gross mark ups if laws are changed. If you don't see my point, usually laws only take effect on a date after signing...and it takes time for laws to be drafted, pass committees, be voted on by both houses and sent to the President for signing. Holding out for price gouging seems the most likely......

Would love to get an explanation from them on this. There is the real possibility that they got a "call' from "big brother' ${$default_shocked_smiley}$ that prompted the action. Bottom line is this was sudden and we still have no real insight into this action so---.

Site says they don't sell guns, funny because I have an email about the 10 days of Christmas that list the 10mm for $599.00 $:-\$
Wanted to get it for Christmas, may drive over tomorrow just to see if store is still open.

My local paper has a long history of firearms sections in the classifieds. Gone now. Supposedly temporarily, but we shall see.

Got an email from CTD today that says they are reviewing policy and procedures because orders are taking 72 hours instead of 24 hours.

sqlbullet · December 20 2012 07:58:09 AM MST

I bet all these started because all these companies legal eagles suddenly got cold feet and wanted to review both the law and the internal process they were following.

Probably not bad advice either. Cause Obama is going to turn the ATF loose to hammer anyone that is committing infractions in how they handle these things.

denclaste · December 20 2012 09:13:59 AM MST

Got a email from them this am that stated they are resuming sales after reviewing their "policies". They shipped my RIA 10mm within 12 hrs of my ordering it.

I ordered a RIA 10mm Friday the 14th and it was delivered to my FFL on Monday the 17th.....(or attempted delivery as my FFL is closed Monday)....That was the fastest shipping I EVER had and my first CTD buy.....I too got an email yesterday that sales had resumed after, as stated above, policy review, and especially shipping review. I can only speak for my deal, it was FAST !!
The gun shoots good to great, but I haven't had any time to really get into that. Maybe this weekend.

Looks like they have removed the gouge price on P-mags too. Although they are out of stock like everyone else.
