Accusing Bradis of jacking prices? I don't think you know Bradis very well. In my 2 minutes of online searching I couldn't find a new Sig 239 for less than $749, most were 20-40 dollars more.

I have never been to Bradis, a little to far from my house. I did hear from a LGS that suppliers had new price sheets. This is why some shop may have increased their prices.

like when they sold 6920s for $1650 or WASRs for $500+ in 2009?

supply and demand. i've gotten some great deals and good customer service there, but don't be so naive.

You're quick to place the blame on the store, how do you know they weren't passing on higher pricing from their supplier?

Don't be so quick to point fingers unless you know the whole truth.

because i bought a WASR from Classic Arms for $380?

I'm not "blaming" anyone. It's capitalism, baby and I'm all for it.

Man I wish I could find one for that price...

I noticed a slight uptick in online prices from a few weeks ago. Expect these to continue for awhile, especially the semi-autos. Ammo will be targeted too.

A couple of months from now the gun shops might be kicking themselves for letting go of these guns this cheap.

As a previous store owner I would rather have empty shelves knowing I didn't price gouge then having full shelves and extra expected profit. Customer service carries long after the sale. When the distributor raises their prices you raise yours. Keep in mind there are 3 prices for a retailer: wholesale/distributor, retail-MAP and retail-MSRP. As consumers we are used to paying MAP or lower and hardly ever MSRP. When we do pay MSRP we generally complain and *****.
