Perusing the other treads, you'll notice there's no love lost between CTD and many of the forum members here -- but I see this is your first post. (And a recent TexasCHLForum registrant... welcome!)

While it's certainly a free market and price "gouging" takes both a willing buyer and seller, they are one of many companies who saw fit to double (or more) their prices in recent days -- after halting all online guns sales to review polices that already required all shipments to go to FFLs. While not trying to defend CTD, because recent actions have turned me off as a customer, in response to an inquiry regarding pricing before this panic, I do recall CTD stating that their prices fluctuate to make what they have in inventory last for a specified period of time. I don't know off hand the exact nature of their equation, but I feel good folks would be happy with their existing (or even slightly higher) profit margins and not squeeze the last few customers. Time will tell for CTD if goodwill designed to attract and keep customers or their current pricing strategy works out best.
