Polak 3 Posted September 1, 2015 Why has .40S&W become so inexpensive? For example: $11.99 per 50 is very cheap. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ammunition/handgun-ammunition/40-s-w/blazer-brass-40-sw-165gr-fmj.html or this http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/14178/category/3994/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicious 138 Posted September 1, 2015 I think I get his point, and I have been wondering about a similar thing. My question would be why is .45 so much more? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T Bill 649 Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe if you changed its name from 40 S&W to "10MM GAP"! Maybe sales will improve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howard 538 Posted September 1, 2015 Wasn't there a recent FBI study that said law enforcement was better off using 9mm rather than .40 cal which has gotten many departments to switch thus placing a big drop in demand for .40 cal? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almiz111 26 Posted September 1, 2015 'yes' on the fbi and a 'big drop' should mean higher prices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimB1 555 Posted September 1, 2015 Yeah, I was going to say I have seen a lot of used police .40s for sale lately. I am guessing there are a lot of PDs going to 9mm. Supply and demand may begin pushing .40 down... -Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polak 3 Posted September 1, 2015 It's not so much more (.45ACP) http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/21805/s/federal-45acp-230gr-fmj-range-target-practice-ammunition-50rds-rtp45230/ I think I get his point, and I have been wondering about a similar thing.

monmouth 19 Posted September 2, 2015 A lot of online retailers are heavy in inventory and need cash flow to keep up with future committed orders Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
