I went on line yesterday to order some 9mm hp for the new Sig and found a lot of vendors out . I did locate some, but shipping is delayed. Target sports shows 12-15 days shipping, but items are in stock, makes you wonder whats' going on.
Run on Ammo?

I mean, he needs to know how to load the fire stick. If he gets that down, I’m guessing if he holds on to it, the scope will take out his eye.
I was curious from this post and went to Academy yesterday. Sure enough, lots of guys buying ammo.
They had a limit of 3 units per customer. I bought 3 boxes of 20 g target loads at normal price so I can still take my daughter shooting.
I stocked up pretty good a few years back.

Just getting rid of the old ammo and gun models for us....
I did cancel my range trip last weekend. I figured I should conserve a little.

Was buying some silver since prices are down a bit. Gun store next door had a big line of people trying to get in.
Same here. I have a new Sig to shoot and have not put a single round downrange from it yet. And it's driving me crazy! Since it's not a work gun, I wouldn't feel right putting work ammo thru it. I have a few thousand rounds of my own 9mm at home, But thought I should wait.
Over the years, I have always bought ammo on a irregular but consistent basis. you know, box here, half a case there, or just whenever I see deals in the sales ads. I tell other friends I know, who have quite a few guns, but never enough ammo for them. I would always tell them, "instead of four pizza's a month, get three pizza's and two boxes of ammo. Or instead of 4 movies a month, go to two movies and a case of ammo.
Now they are complaining about the ammo shortage and asking me to sell them some of my ammo. Hah!
Found a small shop on the edge of town in Brownwood, Texas that had decent supplies of all the popular calibers though the 9mm was picked over. More esoteric 9mm boutique loads were left as well as smaller quantities of generic FMJ stuff. .223 and .22 Long Rifle abounded. I bought a couple boxes of CCI standard velocity .22 Long Rifle for some target work I'm undertaking with old .22 rifles at the range. Also picked up some sample defensive type loadings for the .38 Super. Want to do some chronograph testing before making up hand loads.
At another local gun shop the owner says he's getting some traffic, but supplies were still ample in his shop. I picked up the only box of factory Remington 148 grain hollow base wadcutter target loads he had, just 'cause. Also picked up 500 cast 125 grain round nose lead bullets for hand loading some utility range loads for the .38 Super.
I'm not concerned with ammunition or components for hand loading. In fact I'm intending to shoot more this year.

I’ve got quite a bit of .22lr. I’m thinking of getting a LCR in .22 just to keep up my new “revolver finger.“ Problem is I hear all rimfire triggers suck.

Yep, thats the way to do it. A box here and there and you dont even feel it, but a year or 10 later you'd be surprised how much has actually accumulated lol.
I have an old wooden dynamite case my father found somewhere before I was born in the bottom of my gun cabinet. It's full of 16g shells. Most are slugs, SSG and 7 1/2 lead. His old 16g Wingmaster is sitting in the cabinet right above it.
Trade ammo for toilet paper.

Was going to say. Our 320mm toilet paper cannon is down to half a magazine ...

Skip Walmart if you're looking to top off the mag.
I just got back from there and I'm not going back until its socially acceptable to wear animal skins and carry an axe lol.
Heard a new term today- Charmageddon. It made me chuckle.

Dude looks like he gave his right arm for a roll of toilet paper.
Went into town this morning to pick up something for the wife. The little store had just gotten a truck in and said the item she wanted was somewhere on it, so it went down the street to browse Walmart, not as busy as last week and earlier this week, and they did have TP. Then went down to Atwood's a farm/ranch supply and no 9mm ammo, browsed around there then back to the shop where I bought my Sig, looking for some 124 gr Federal HST, but nothing but some cheap steel and aluminum case ammo. I have plenty of ball ammo so passed on that. The dealer said it was getting hard to find, and I acknowledged what I saw, made me glad I had orsdered a few boxes. I have plenty stashed in the garage, along with plenty of components to load some if I can get over my lazies.
Smart advice. I ensured my wife had training when I acquired my permit. She is a great shot, but doesn't carry on a regular basis. But, she knows how to safely handle a firearm.
