Ammo Shortage

[Bladesmith]

Anyone else notice??There is no pistol ammo available anywhere,check your local gunshop,Walmart,internet,Cabalas,etc...There is NO .380..9mm....38spl anywhere....Is it panic buying or is the stuff hitting the fan?

[Fxstchewy]

The stuff is hitting the fan.

[Jeffd]

Just another way to back door the rights of gun owners. 

[greasy]

Everybody is in the panic buy mode and they can't make it fast enough!! This will make the price go through the roof also!!

[chopper]

It's panic buying, too!   I can get plenty of 9mm..   But 380 is long gone!   Kid at work bought a case of 500 wretched Mexican 380 crap 2 wks ago and listed it on Gunbroker for $50 for box of 50 rounds.  Soold 2 boxes in minutes!  He currently has it listed at $75 for 50  rounds and is actually getting some buyers.

  What with the new administration (and thats all I'm gonna say bout that) and more states issueing CCW's, small pistols and ammo are being bought up by the ton!   I just picked up a small 9mm, cuz I figure there'll always be tons of military FMJ available.

[Paniolo]

I'm lookingfor some 20Ga. Anyone want to swap some 9mm or .38?

Does anybody know for sure it the new Winchester Super Target trap load are the same hulls as the AA's,, My lovely ahhhhhmmmmm bride just tossed 500 20ga AA cases in the garbage,,
She gleefuly said I cleaned up that junk pile you call a loading bench.................

Yup, Same here. I've had 38SPL Self Defense Ammo on back order since beginning of last month & it might show up this month if I am lucky. Also at a small local gunshow this past weekend. Prices thay wanted for old crap was ridiculous. Gunshop owners are sending "Thank You" letters to Obama.

No shortage at my house.

I reload, as long as I can get primers, powder and full metal jackets, I'm happy.

Was at the gun shop Thursday and was able to pick up two boxes of 50 .40 cal S&W 180gr TMJ bullets. He was out of the hollow points.

There's no doubt that panic buying is occurring.  Winchester, like every other manufacturer, is working 24/7 producing ammo.  I know this site tries to stay apolitical but there's no getting around Pres. Obama's record, comment, and perceived intent is driving this.

I believe that before the Democrats can enforce their back door gun control, and I don't think they'll be successful, there will be a glut of ammo on the market.

Join the NRA and contact your US Representatives/Senators.   We have a good US Rep, 2 anti-gun Senators (Arkansas).

I've gone to our local Super Walmart about 3 times in the last 2 weeks and they have nothing.  Went to Gander Mountain today and they had alot of ammo.  I bought me some 40 cal for my carry weapon so I can go to the range and practice. 

[Bigs]

Went into my buddies gun shop today and he said a guy came in and didn't care what it cost but he wanted all the large primers he had - 4,000 of them. Also he sold out of 380 and 9mm just the other day. He had plenty of ammo last week. Seeing what they are getting for ammo I'm temped to sell a couple of thousand rounds.

I bought 100 rounds of .45 ACP the other day. The stock was low, but they probably had 2000 rounds available of various brands. The salesman said ammo was selling faster than ever so I believe there is a bit of a run on ammo.

[Dakota]

  I've got an FFL and have been trying to buy some from my distributor but they're always out.  Guess they ship it all to the big guys---can't blame them for that though.  I may have to buy it from another dealer.

[Fxstchewy]

Heck try and buy a good holster to carry that gun and ammo around in, all the better holster makers have a long backlog of orders.

[xxxflhrci]

Lots of stuff gun related in short supplied.  I bought a new press a few weeks ago, but can't get any of the accessories needed to run it.

[Rokinrider]

 A friend of mine told me about this!! I thought he was full of it so I went to wal mart and I'll be dam*ed he was right. I checked cheaper than dirt and there aint sh%t out there for 9mm. Good thing I still got a few rounds left:). I have been tempted to get a couple of shady guns in case they come after them. Kind of worries me I don't want to be a criminal but I don't want to give up my guns. Like em or hate em pay your NRA dues is my .02 cents..
