The gun industry is going through a typical summer slump. As we look back at our records we realize that almost every year we see a dramatic drop off in web traffic, sales and inquiries during the months of May-August. This isn’t a big deal for us, but it might be a big deal for you because parts, guns and ammo are starting to become available as manufacturers get caught up with existing orders.

If you have a revolver that allows you to shoot Single Action, that portion probably doesn’t need to adjusted, but often the DA portion needs to be addressed.
