If you want to buy a gun, this is the best time for it

I am coming up on 15 years as an FFL and I have never seen prices this low. Things are slow in the gun industry, manufacturers are discounting and so are distributors. The last time this happened a couple (maybe three, I cannot recall) firearm distributors went under. I know it is slow when the sales people at distros are calling me - they usually do not care for the small fish but they are trying to get sales any way they can. I browse Gunbroker and see great deals regularly. Ammo has not changed much and reloading supplies are still high but firearm prices are very good. If you want anything start looking, chances are you will find a great price. There are some exceptions (i.e. no discount on Korth or other high end guns).
Anyone local to PSC that needs anything let me know, I can help steer you to the best price.

Just assault rifles? Precision bolt action rifles? Shotguns? Handguns?
Will Glocks, etc go up due to tariffs?

Just browse Gunbroker to get an idea of prices - your local gun store will most likely be higher. Who knows how tariffs will affect prices, buy now or wait to find out, the choice is yours.

Right now I have $250 in Bass Pro rewards that need to be spent. I am in a good place both the ammo and guns. However, I am indecisive on whether or not to get a Savage Stevens 320 Field/Security combo 12 Gauge because its a good deal or just get ammo?
Completely a nice to have purchase either way. Gun or ammo?
EDIT
I should have bought ammo but I couldn't resist another shotgun at $220 for a 12 Gauge Field/Security Combo.
