Stopped in at H&H today

[Jamie_s_72]

Hey guys I've been out of the loop lately on the price of guns mostly because I buy most of my stuff used. I haven't been into a gun shop in a few months
but today I had my eyes opened to some huge inflation. Everything seemed to be about $20 to $30 higher except the ARs and the roof has blown off them. Is there a shortage or are all shops cashing in on the latest gun rage?

H&H is just high

How much admission did you have to pay to get into the gun show at H&H?

I lol'd.

On another note, I think my belt went up in price by $10 over last year. I would swear to paying $49.95 or something like that last January. This year it was $59.95.

Their ammo price is outrageous too. I can by 50 rounds of gold dots from sgammo.com out of stillwater with shipping and still pay at least $10 less than what they want for 2 boxes of 20 rounds.

Greed knows no boundaries. That place is packed with people all day long, you'd think the owner would embrace the amount of business the area is giving him. I live in Duncan where Murfs Guns is and their prices are honestly way cheaper. They may not have the selection but let me tell you if any of the owners see that a customer isn't being waited on they will chew on some staff right there. I just don't get why they have Glocks in H&H for $30 to $60 higher than everywhere else. Aren't Glocks pretty much a staple gun in any gunshop? Give me a break I saw them in there today for $89 higher (Talo Edition) than what Murfs had the same gun for. I'm not all pro Murfs or any other shop but lets be honest here, H&H isn't far from having that Gun World reputation. Just hate it for them but hey their doing it.

This is true. And Murf's isn't exactly cheap, at least on ammo. But they are good guys and have good service. Always enjoy walking through there when I'm in Duncan.

They are high. But it's also an election year.

I'm not trying to start a peeing match here, but how many of you guys complaining about H&H's prices have ever tried to run a small business? I was in there yesterday, after the RK gun show that also has its fair share of discontented reviewers, and the place was packed. And the prices are a bit high, I admit. But the cost of all that inventory--all those guns, holsters, safes, clothing, ammo--high! The costs involved with being open 362 days a year--high! The operating costs--lights, heat and air, ventilation for the ranges, pay for all the employees on the floor, the insurance costs involved with stocking guns and operating a shooting range--all high! Any honest gun broker will tell you that new guns generally sell on a margin of 10% or less because of competition. Can you run a business on a 10% margin and keep the doors open--especially when you'd like to have a net profit of 10% to keep growing the business? Now I didn't go to business school, but I do manage a small business, and I will tell that you can't expect to make a 10% net profit on a 10% gross profit margin. The costs of running a business of that size are high, and I for one want to see them keep the doors open, so I'll pay their prices because it is a full service shop with a lot of product on the floor and a lot of amenities on offer.
