What is going on with the Ruger Blackhawk price?

I’ve wanted a Super Blackhawk for over 40 years ever since all my buddies went and bought them but I was in college and didn’t have the money.
Finally bought one a few months ago at a local gunshow.

I bought this 4 5/8 inches .45 Colt Blackhawk in 1981 for my father when I lived in Houston. Do not recall the price but whatever it was I was poor so it was a lot. I am sure equal to today. I reinherited it when my dad went into assisted living. He used for some back up for hunting trips but it mostly rode his nightstand.

I have not seen a Blackhawk for sale in months new. The market is polymer right now. And people are getting what they ask for Blackhawks, Single Series and Bearcats, new and used.

Sorry, this is Trumps fallout, not Biden's. Biden didn't create the tariffs or the economy he inherited. Sadly he hasn't done enough to reverse it and likely won't. .
The tariffs have nothing to do with our current economy. Killing Keystone for pure political reasons contributes. Trump attempted to put pressure on people that simply weren't paying. Biden reversed everything Trump did, except for the pull out of Afghanistan, which he massively failed at and now blames Trump, like you.
Redhawks too are through the roof. SW revolvers are cheaper these days. Go figure
I called a local gun shop the other day that had a Blackhawk at $879 and a S&W 686 at $899. Seems crazy.

Very nice, makes me want a 4 5/8".
 
Watch CNN much? Nothing is Biden’s fault is it?
Florida resident? You have the best Governor in the USA, close second being Abbott. I have about the worst in MN. But us country/farm folk don't have a say with the populated city folks that are electing in these liberal ideas that do not work.
I want to send a message to a seller on Gunbroker and ask "What kind of crack does one smoke to make your suggested price seem logical?"

I've wanted to do that for awhile as well. Especially on Armslist. I recently seen a Rock Island Armory 1911, used, for $200 over MSRP.
