CSMC has been successful by appealing to an affluent clientele with guns and other related paraphernalia perhaps not quite built up to their price point. Some of it's business has come from folks who wish to be thought of as affluent but who really cannot afford the loss when perceived value fails to translate to (after) market value.
The disappointment of that experience has resulted in bad PR for the company. For what they are though CSMC occupies a needed niche in the business, and I do not see them going out of business any time soon...Geo
