Whats with your current price on Glocks?

[chicu1981]

My point is despite the weakness of loonie against CAD we have more than held our own compared to the EURO which can be seen in the 20 cent currency appreciation for CAD against EUR. so we must see discounts otherwise

Ya but eventually all the firearms will go up. that will include the Sig and HK . Pretty much all new stock coming in will have increased price.

The same goes for them and their prices. Once they get too high, they can sit on the shelf too.(and I love their products)

I love collecting firearms and shooting, but there is a limit on what the end used can pay or will pay.

I haven't seen a new one here in Canada marked like that in years.

This is what new ones in stores look like;



and in case you missed the post just above yours from the dealer whose thread this is in;

All Glocks coming into Canada through official channels now are made in the U.S. to the best of my knowledge.

Usd is trading at a 30 percent premium

It doesn't matter were the gun was made.. The USD that is trading at a 25-30 percent premium is the currency of trade... It's not only our CAD is down that much... Almost all currencies are down against the UsD about the same percentage .. Unfortanately when the U.S dollar is up prices everywhere go up... No arbitrage oppurtunity... Markets are too efficient for that

EUR is approaching parity with USD. we should see 15% discount on all European products from HK, SIG, walther GLOCks etc.

EUR-USD is now at a 13 year low of 1.05
EUR-CAD is also trading at 1.34 down from 1.55 same point last year. So my message to all authorized dealers when do we see these discounts coming our way?

My face is red. You are right...EUR has eroded against CAD, about 15% in last year. D'oh. No more posting before coffee.

It does not matter European products will get cheaper in USD. EUR is down 35% against USD. Its a big move.

Almost all Glocks are assembled in the USA with all made in the USA parts, or with some parts that have been shipped from Germany. Don't believe me? Check your local gun shop. Pretty much every gun with have a frame that says "Made in Austria, Glock Inc, Smyrna GA" which is of course Georgia, and the slide will say either USA or Austria. The "Austria" slides are made in Austria to the same specs as GA and shipped across because they had surplus slides or other parts. It's all USA assembled.

Ok fine what about others Sig, Walther and HK? Are they all US as well?

So, just out of curiosity, what was the erroneously posted price that caused the sticker shock?? Was it the 1K that was alluded to a number posts back? Just curious as to what Wolverine mentioned as the upcoming 2015 pricing.
