I don't know about "cheap," as I don't know about this weapon specifically, but the reason they're foreign is those are Taurus PT111 mags. Taurus is a Brazilian gun company, so it's not odd to see the mags for their guns made in Brazil just as it isn't strange that Glock mags are made in Austria, or H&K mags in Germany.
Now, Taurus does have a reputation for making cheap guns, but I've heard also that they are actually making huge strides in quality control. Can't speak on a personal level as to their quality as I've never owned or fired one, but they aren't exactly an unpopular manufacturer sales-wise. And I have heard that their 1911s are quite nice.
Lol, have you actually tried to buy a box of ammo recently, much less load up on it? When something in a semi-popular caliber pops up online, it's gone in a matter of minutes to hours, and it costs 2-3 times what it should cost. 5.56 is going from 60 cents to almost a dollar per round, when it cost 25-35 cents per round a year ago. 9mm could have been bought for less than 15 cents per round, now it pops up at north of 60. And even then, it disappears. If you haven't stocked up on ammo prior to this, you aren't stocking up any time soon.
Already beat you to the punch. Been buying ammo all summer last year, stocking up on food. I have batteries and candles. Will buy lamp oil this week along with more gallons of water. I should have everything we need in case something dire happens.
Great idea about online prepayment. Incidentally, I know the shop owner very well and asked him to kick a couple boxes from next shipment into a dark corner in the stock room for me. Ha!
I don't even know how that crypto stuff works, looks scammy, your money can disappear with a key stroke?... Seems too risky for me. But I wish you luck fren.
Pick any one. There are dozens. Doesn't matter, none have anything. You have to get lucky, check every day, set email alerts, etc. And be quick. Targetsportsusa, Bud's gun shop, etc. Make sure you live in a state where you can ship ammo online. Most are fine, a few are restricted.
Those beretta mags? .40?
NO those are cheap foreign made mags for a 9mm

Glad to hear it Pede, don't forget medical supplies. Many overlook that.
Picked up 100 5.56 a few days ago... that was all that was left at my local gun shop. It's crazy out there.

Any bullet brokers you can recommend?
Just call around and ask if you can pre order, pre pay when they get their shipment in, some will do that.

Will you use them when an illegal administration installs itself by fraud?
