As we all know, ammunition is pretty damn hard to find, and even harder to find at a decent price. For me, the hardest to find has been by far 9mm. I've been able to grab some .223/5.56 by doing a run around the area gun shops, but everyone is flat out of 9mm. In the last week, for example, I was able to get 160 rounds of .223/5.56 and only 50 rounds of 9mm.

 

Granted, this is only at local shops. While the rationing is making it difficult to buy in any significant quantity, it has helped me secure a few boxes. Plus, it would seem that most shops have been keeping the price relatively fair compared to many of the online venues (most I've paid for 9mm is 17.99 per 50).

 

Just curious what your guys' experience has been.

22 LR for sure. 9mm I was able to trade for and still find at decent prices. But 22 Lr is near impossible.

.556 is another tough round to be had. 45 I'm well stocked with so I never checked.

17 hmr is like finding a unicorn as well .LOL

22lr and 9mm are hard to find for me in a store.

 

I m always looking for Tokarev ammo and have a hard time finding it but that s normal for this round as its not that common.

Surplus Tok ammo has shot through the roof and i m sure its all gone.

 

 

 

Mid week at Cabelas there s plenty of stuff to be had usually. This was 10 days ago.

You just have to take a drive out there. Wednesdays are the best in the evening.

 

22LR very scarce but at decent prices.......8$ for 100 mini mags

Lot of 223/556 , prices ranging from 9.99$ a box

38 special for 20$

357 for 25$

 

There were cases of Federal 9 mm 500 rds in a 50 cal can for 180$

Tristate firearms had 17hmr on the shelf and I think Ramsey Outdoor does as well. Where are you?

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
