Their Business Decision to gouge the gun community with $60 PMags and suspending online gun sales has earned them "Going out of Business" sign. They would have to practically give them away at this point.

I love the "strong supporter of 2a" phrase all these companies and politicians use after they just got called out for undermining it.

Like when someone says something racist but follows it up with "but i have black friends!"

Yep. Damage control doesn't even begin to describe the position they're in after yesterday.

Never buying from 'em again. Too bad, I did a lot of business there. Now I'd rather pay someone more for the same thing to give CTD a big 'F' you. I wouldn't put it past them to change their name and market the same products under a new online retailer name. So keep your eyes open.

Yep.....that's pretty much the position they are in. $60 Pmags.....what a joke. At least they dropped the price all the way down to $30 after Magpul threatened to drop them as a dealer :evil: Glad I'm not a stockholder.

I knew I liked Magpul for a reason.

I have not bought a thing from them since 2008 when they wanted $25 a box 50 rds of Federal 9mm. I also mention them as a place to avoid in my PTC classes.

Today went to 4 sites to find a 1,000 rounds of 22 cal in a brand/configuration that the Advantage Arms 22 cal conversion for my Glock will shoot reliably

Got that E mail too.
I took a few minutes and wrote a quick note on their recent price gouging .
Also let them know I would not buy from them and would steer other's away from them.
I despise people who try to profit off tragedy !

For entertainment purposes you should swing by CTD's FB page and read some of the thousands of comments. They are just getting beat to death by their ex-customers. I'm betting that whoever made the decision to quadrouple their prices overnight is a bit squirmy right now.

That would be tough- reading those if you're the one who screwed the pooch.
