Yeah, everyone in the industry has a major problem right now: Keeping up with demand. We've literally seen the US firearms industry go from $19+ billion in 2008, to $32+ billion in 2011. Let that sink in for a while. I estimate that we'll easily hit $36-$38 billion this year, if not more. We've seen a 30.6% increase in direct jobs since 2008, in THIS economy. What does that tell you?
It's like the defense manufacturing in WWII almost, and that's with prices rising. There are companies duplicating their warehouse sizes right and left, bringing manufacturing up to 100% increase in capacity as we speak. Imagine trying to pull that off and filling orders at the same time. JP Enterprises is doing that right now, for example, and their a niche company that sells high-end rifles at $3000 price points and up, inlcuding Grendels.
