If you want it,, have the funds,, buy it and dont look back
You should buy two. One for each hand. Do it!! And roll on.
There may be no tomorrow in the gun world. Take the hit now and you might have it, 4 years down the road the only option one might have is the black market. Follow your gut and wallet.

Yup, I still regret not buying M1's at Sunny's Surplus!
Agreed. Guns and ammo ARE available, just at current market prices. With the politics involved will they return to 2020 prices? What will be banned next or made do difficult to obtain as to be a prima facie ban? Is ammo facing taxes so high as to put it in the same situation?
I bought guns & ammo then and I continue now. It'll average out over time. Better to have it at a higher price than not to have it at all and be sorry.
Agreed. Due to COVID and the new administration, I finally just received my HQL and made a purchase I’m really happy with. Probably a little higher price than pre-COVID, but who know where new ban attempts and licensing procedures are going.

If there is a ‘hole’ to fill in the collection one may consider buying it now since some prices are still fairly reasonable. As far as ammo goes, if the personal supply is not too good, buy now and shoot what you can afford at today’s market price from legit sources with stock on hand. That will maintain your ammo coffer supply at home and adjust your shooting to present affordability.

Since I'm more in a reducing my collection mode due to a planned relocation next year I'm not really looking to buy...but if I spotted something I've looking for for some time or something that fills a hole in the collection then I'd go for it. Some items are just too hard to find under any market conditions to allow to pass if the price isn't out of the ordinary...and that has happened a few times already. Roiled markets like we've experienced make for opportunities to buy and sell depending on the product.

Yep. I was tracking a specific firearm on GB, trying to gauge its market price. Pre-stimulus, it was a solid $500. Immediately after folks started receiving the BidenBucks, every version of the said firearm started selling at $650 plus. Folks sure got stimulated 
For me, personally, I just can’t justify to myself spending $150 more. My logical side says “do it, it will only get worse”, and I’m sure I’ll regret not getting it later, as stated by many users above. If you can, buy it.

Mind to tell us about this fancy restaurant serving crappy meal? It is always after you have eaten the meal that you realized it is crappy. Usually, it is too late by then.
Twice in the past few months I overpaid for a rifle...one that I’ve always wanted and one that filled a hole in the collection. Who knows when the opportunity was going to come back around. I don’t regret either one!
Pretty sure semi-automatic rimfire pistols are going to be pretty safe for a damned long time. Sure can’t say for forever. I wish I could.
But it’s like saying “better rush out and buy a Henry. Biden heard you could load it on Monday and shoot it all week and he’s coming for them!”
I can see some concern about stuff that might be on an AWB if you feel you need to own it. Other stuff, only if you need to have it. I am holding off on most purchases because of how over priced most things are. I got a Howa 1500 a few months ago. But it was at pre-pandemic prices.
I’d like a Glock 20. Don’t feel like paying $600+ for one. I’ll wait till I can get one $400-500 used.

We've bought a pistol a month since January. April's coming up and I have a new CZ Shadow 2 in my sights. With what's in the White House now, I see NO improvement happening for years. Our borders will remain wide open with MS-13 and Mexican Cartel members pouring through daily. Lawful firearm owners are the "one's to watch" according to obiden/harris.

Go ahead and buy... you'll make it up in ammo prices to run through it. Guns are kinda like inkjet printers that way.
