All the craziness will end & everything should be back to normal within the next year. Go ahead & get your new gun.....

How many out there are waiting out this ammo shortage to buy new guns?
I want to buy a new Krieghoff but this situation is making me leery.

Why wait? Life isn't coming to and end and if it does, won't matter anyway!

I just bought the new Krieghoff of my dreams. My mom has an expression she tells me often...”this to shall pass”. Go get your K gun and enjoy it!

As my doctor, friend and shooting partner said to me while we were hunting a sorghum field for pheasant this past October - "How many Octobers do you think you have left?" Buy it, shoot it, enjoy it and make it count. It could all be over tomorrow.

I bought a new KX6s last spring when everything was being cancelled and put about 4500 rounds through it last summer, I am looking at a new K80 trap combo 😀 now, not that I need it but I keep thinking maybe I should have one ???????? I have enough ammo stocked up to shoot this entire season but even if I didn't that would never hold me back if that's the gun I wanted, WTF life is way to short not to treat yourself to something like a new gun buy, shoot, be happy.

I would like to buy another handgun. A revolver. I found availability to be nil for what I want. So I am waiting it out.

There is no way I would buy a car if I couldn't get fuel.

 

[blackandgold]

Covid could kill you tomorrow. So could a Greyhound bus. Buy the best gun you can afford and be proud to shoot it.

 

[BrowningPotato]

If you were going to buy a pistol or .223, I’d wait. A shotgun, I’d buy 2 tomorrow if I could. Target loads will start to reappear. Like our fearless leader said, we should all get a “double-barrel shotgun” for home defense.

Buy it .....why let the next husband have the money.

 

[Mr. D]

I bought a used Perazzi last summer and have managed to shot it so sure why not.

 

[Perazzi_MX8]

I would just buy any gun that you want. If your a trapshooter I really doubt that your without any ammo. Times will get better and guns can be enjoyed even when ammo is severely limited right now. Think of how many own un-fired guns that thoroughly enjoy owning them.

I too say go for it. Of course you may want to look around for a sweet deal on a 1 to 1 1/2 year old lightly used K-80 Trap Combo!!! You'll be money ahead in the long run. Google Krieghoff International. Click on there list of K-gun dealers. Do a search on each dealers used gun inventory on-line. You never know what you may find. Then, you can pull the trigger on a new K-gun if you don't find what you want. Good Luck to Ya. break em all jeff

I do think the ammo shortage is affecting some firearms sales as defensive firearms are a premium so might be the best time to purchase those target shotguns as noticed some models are moving @ a lack luster pace so opportunity to tire kick a desire target shotgun. I've watch some of my favorites go 6,10 & 12 day cycles on GB with no bids.

I was thinking the same thing about a month ago. This was my answer...

This is the best response to the OP's comment. Excellent answer!

 

[BOXMAN76]

If can afford a new Krieghoff, you shouldn’t be worrying about what it takes to acquire ammo.

Its like buying a 911 and worrying about the cost of gas, or an oil change.

Buy it... You only live once.

Which model is that? ACS?

 

[Popsracer]

If you can afford a K gun you sure as hell can afford the ammo for it! The undertaker doesn’t tow a trailer behind the hearse so you can take you money with you!
