| This last month has been bad, and this weekend just awful. Didn't sell any guns yesterday, and sold one pistol today. |
I sell firearms produced by the finest child labor in the world, be it Filipino, Muslim, Mormon, Arizonan, or Texan.
| It’s slowed down a lot here in my area. Only niche stuff is really moving and suppressors. Unless you’re more than a gun shop I don’t see it lasting. Need to sell other things like suppressors, gear, clothing, etc. the only shops doing ok here also sell all those things. Some are also feed stores |

I've seen dozens of brick and mortar gun stores go belly up here in the Dallas Ft Worth metro area over the last twenty years. Those that survive have a gun range. |

Everyone I talk to in the industry is seeing the same thing. Very slow year, and what should be the good times in December simply hasn't happened. I think what little discretionary funds people have right now are going to frugal Christmas present purchases. We might see a little bump after Christmas when people get their fun money in Xmas cards from grandma, and when tax returns come due, but I expect it to go back to the doldrums after that. I have a friend that says once we make it into 2026 the market will pick up, but based on what seems to be driving the slowdown in the market, I think it will be three years before things pick up. Inflation, Tarriffs, and the downstream effects of economic slowdown from that have made for tough times in all industries where people use "fun money" to buy things. Sven Manticore Arms |
