I noticed the transcript for Dick’s Sporting Goods third quarter stockholders report:
“...As expected, sales were negatively impacted by the continued weakness in hunt and electronics, which contributed to approximately 255 basis points comp decline. Despite these challenges, we have focused on driving profitable sales and managing our business to deliver higher earnings.”
Looks like some of the stirred up hornets are still out of the nest. Their internet sales had positive growth but in store sales were poor. I no longer buy there and the nearest store to me closed two years ago. Like Sears and other retailers, I think big box gun sellers will continue to see a decline of shoes across the threshold.
I have noticed ammo prices at BassPro and Walmart stores have been reduced by some good sales and internet sellers have had some good deals with free shipping. Prices on guns seem to be creeping down. My local gun store is higher than online but are getting closer to even when FFL fee and shipping are added in.
I may finally purchase a 9mm autoloader in the next month or so. Some solid weapons are dropping below $350, Ruger’s Security 9 being a prime example.
