What has happened to the price of "other" guns?

Bout the same. Other than AR's and maybe the .22 variants, I have not seen much price difference in guns, just ammo.
 
Revolvers are pretty steady at my local range. Of course, they're just about the only things left in the case.

Funny thing, that. In my area it's always been hella difficult to find decent .38/.357 revolvers, even before the shortage. Always been a surplus of autos. Maybe it's the old-timey demographic.

Anything military-related has disappeared in my area; most noticeably ARs, AKs, SKS-type variants, Mosin Nagants/cheap surplus rifles, and related ammo. The cheaper utilitarian firearms (think single-action shotguns) have become kind of scarce as well, but I haven't noted a price increase.

Ruger SA revolvers have went up since the panic started. I bought a Blackhawk 357/9 mm convertible this summer for $500 out the door. Right now you are doing good if you can buy a new 357 blackhawk for $500 out the door. You could get a blackhawk for $430 almost anywhere. I don't see a panic to buy single action revolvers. Just a shortage created by Ruger. All Ruger cares to produce is the SR series. Even the P series is not available. They produce enough P95's to supply the Afghanistan police and that is it.
 
On local private party online sales here people are asking crazy prices on anything and everything. Don't know if they are actually getting it or not. I was trying to buy a Magtech single shot 12ga, the guy wanted $225 firm so I passed. I have seen a drastic increase in Mosins coming in, but I think that might be just because they are starting to run dry on them.
 
Judging from discounted/bumped (not sold yet) ads vs new prices/gunbroker on the local gun networking page I'd say revolvers have dipped slightly primarily single actions no matter the caliber. Prices here tend to be higher than average but those don't seem higher than a year or so ago.
