We put on a special sale price but are not getting any traction.
Let me know - are we not competitive? Do you prefer a different brand? Did your wife hide your credit card? If it's the credit card one please leave us a smiley face.
If there is a better price out there for 40 please let us know. But there are some rules.

1) The inventory must be in stock and ready to sell.
2) All products must be available in Canada.
3) Products must be the equivalent of the products we are listing.
4) The products must be listed on line and you must post a link to this product.
5) Orders must have shipping as an option.
6) All communications must be done respectfully.

Thank you.

Honestly it seems like a decent price, I just don't need any and I'm tied up in other projects. But if you have any 50 bmg...
 
My .40 gets left in the safe on range days. I dont really care for the caliber and would rather shoot 9mm or .45 any day. And I know I'm not the only one feeling this way.
 
Might have something to do with the recession, you know, the one the whole world seems to be denying for some reason.
 
A few things: Canada Ammo had a massive sale on Canada Day and I know I stocked up (as did many others). .40 pistols have been less popular lately... You'll see Glock 22s sit for weeks and prices drop.

PMC also took a knock as it's inconsistent and frequently won't make Major in IPSC. That is a serious issue for guys who chew through ammo like a guinea pig through grass.

I think all those factors are combining to make for slow sales.
 
I don't have a .40, so I don't have any comments regarding price or brand.

Maybe putting "shipping included" in larger font might help? I didn't notice your "shipping included over $300" text until the third time I looked at the ad.
 
There was a big sale a short while ago and some of us did hoard up a little bit, but i could not find any 45 LC, now if you put on sale this caliber with this deal, i will buy a case... JP.:)
 
Off the cuff thoughts. Recession and pricing. Cheaper to practice shoot with cheaper calibers (if the shooter had options). But there is the perspective of the people that shoot 45.
 
I've been slowly eating away at my stash of .40, but I don't get out to shoot anywhere near enough due to work. That, and lots of guys I know are losing jobs or having their work slow down to the point where their more expensive toys hit the chopping block. And I live in Vancouver, where nobody seems to know what the word recession means...
 
Another CGN sponsoring retailer offers this same ammo at the same price, as a regular price.
He offers free shipping as well, and since they are well established as an excellent dealer, you will have to beat their price by at least $20 dollars or more to get noticed.
 
In my humble opinion, .40S&W is an a popular niche spot between 9mm and .45acp, but is not nearly as popular as either for civilian shooters. The bulk of people I have seen shooting .40 are RCMP or provincial police. I also think that a bulk of the .40 shooters load their own.

Just my .02.
