Cheaper Than Dirt: No Modern Rifles to LEOs in States Where Prohibited

Posted on February 16, 2013 by Nick Leghorn

​

It looks like CTD is steadily running down the crisis management checklist, trying to reestablish some level of credibility after the furious backlash they no doubt felt due to their decision to stop selling guns after Newtown. The latest tactic they’re trying to get back in the gun-buying public’s good graces: no modern rifles sales to LEOs where the citizens are prohibited from owning those same firearms! CTD claims that it’s always taken that stance, but they’re trying extra super double hard to make sure that The People of the Gun know it now that LaRue and Olympic Arms started the current LEO boycott movement. We asked yesterday whether we should forgive them, based on their apparent change of heart. From a quick scan of the responses, the answer is a resounding no. I tend to agree, even though their insanely fast shipping time to San Antonio is quite appealing.

Meh, I wouldn't buy crap from them ever again anyway. Theyve lost their cred. Too little, too late.

Their price gouging in the last couple months is enough for me to never go to their website again.

 

[grogie]

Good for them. I hope they mean it.

 

[Mad Man]

Wouldn't urinate on them if they were on fire!

 

[Slapstick]

Good for them. I hope they mean it.

They mean it until they figure out a way to make them pay 2X to 3X what it's worth then they'll happily sell them anything they want.

CTD lost my business when they pulled all their stuff. Also, their prices are outrageous now. But glad to see they are following suit.

Ditto!! They were charging over $21/box for Tulammo 9mm... ouch.
Price gouging in addition to the changing attitudes to save face have turned me off to their website.

CTD stepped on their own ***** for sure. At least they're doing the right thing here.

Too bad for them I have a very long memory...

Not really, it's "look at us, we're with you" gesture, and it's meaningless. I'd be surprised there's a single LE agency that buys product for use department-wide from CTD. Even when I bought from them, I did so as a "regular" person at the same price everyone else pays.

Trust me, if CTD had a contract with a number of LE agencies, this would not be coming out. The guys to watch are Magpul, Brownells, Glock, RRA, Sig, Colt, Remy, and Springfield. If these guys start following suit, people will start paying attention.... but these guys have MILLIONS of dollars on the line, and the loss of a contract could literally kill their business. It's an unfortunate catch 22.

They gouged in 2008, and then did it again in 2012, and then snubbed legal gun owners after Newtown. Change of heart? I haven't seen it.

 

[Quad]

I was done with them when they tried to tell me that $1000 for 1000 rounds of 5.56 was "Our Low Price"

Yes it's their right to gouge me if they see fit. It's also my right not to patronize them for said gouging.

 

[Cowboy71]

CTD has shown their true colors too many times. A PR move like this to try and recoup respectability shouldn't fool anyone.

 

[Miles42]

Ok so if they did this in 2008 and they are still in business it is obvious what we do matters little. I haven't dealt with them for many years now and have no intention of ever doing so again.

there is no recompense for charging $100 for a pmag the same afternoon i buy them for $25

Exactly. Most of the companies I've seen on the bandwagon so far probably aren't losing any sales and the agencies they say they are boycotting probably haven't noticed.

Free publicity and an attempt to kiss and make up from CTD. I'll do without before I order a penny's worth of merchandise from them.
