Be great if I get the stimulus this round. I like the idea that Trump will be paying for my handgun & ammo soon, cause that's where most of it will go.

EDIT: For those wondering, I'm looking at a long barreled 357 revolver.

During these times, I'm reminded of Rev 6:6. You can still get Ammo, you'll just pay through the nose for it.

Probably a good idea if you need a box for self protection, but, maybe not the best time to get some to go plinking.

I subscribe to the "quantity is a quality all it's own" theory and roll with 9mm JHP in a CZ Scorpion 8" "pistol" with folding brace and 35 round mags for work around the house.

Also it looks cool and is fun to shoot, so, you know, bonus.

My daughter asked me when we're going to go shoot. I told her Nov. 4, no matter what. No plinking until then.

You should still plink. Just run low round drills. Focus on fundamentals. Perfect your draw from concealment while firing 1 round per draw. Work target transitions w/ 1 rd/target.

Or get an air soft pistol. I have a Glock 19x airsoft gun and it is perfect for training. And you can shoot it all over your yard if you have houses close by while your geriatric neighbors think you’re a crazy person!

Do something better, get the equipment necessary to press your own ammo.

^This^ I heard in a barber shop, in early summer, that the locals were doing just this.

Damn, its hard to find here but they are still selling 100 rounds of 9mm for $25! I can't imagine paying $65 for 50 😓

I got 500 rounds for not much more than what it costs for 50 now

NomadicKrow 12 points ago +12 / -0

it's panic buying. People are stockpiling more than they'll ever use in a civil war scenario. "I got two mags for my ar! And ten thousand rounds!" I hope they give you time to reload mags, there, Jimboy.

King county (where Seattle is) made it more expensive to acquire ammunition. So now you have people who live there going to neighboring counties to buy firearms and ammo, which in turn, drives the people who live in those counties to...yeah, panic buying and retarded unconstitutional gun laws.

250,000 rounds to kill 1 insurgent. That of course includes training, practice, grift, and black book rerouting, but still, that's a huge number.

Copper mines in Peru have been shut down for months due to COVID. I shit you not, that’s one of the main reasons for the shortages

Relative of mine is a hunter who's getting ready for the fall, he's reloaded his own for decades, and he said he can't get primers anywhere, was asking on Facebook if anyone knew where to get some.

I have a reloader press, my brother has a reloader press. Castings cases are great. Even know a guy how smelts his own brass and copper.

Always has been. I don't feel sorry for most people who hasn't learned this lesson by now. All this shit in the last 15 years, everyone had ample time to stock up. KNOWING THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

The younger folks and newer shooters are the ones who will suffer the most.

this is why the media always tries to villify normal gun owners by saying, "He had an ARSENEL of 1000 rounds" of course most of them were probably .22lr.

Modus_Pwninz 16 points ago +16 / -0

Store stocks are fucked but every time I look on ammoseek, there's ammo available. One site had 5k rounds of .223, limit 2k. It was $.70/round, but...lol

You can still find deals if you’re patient and diligent. 1,000 rounds of 5.56 62gr was 39cpr shipped just this week from Brownells.

Yup just gotta sign up for email alerts on many websites and check them all daily - you’ll find it eventually.

Trump should sell off a lot of those ammo surpluses that Obama bought for a lot of those alphabet agencies. Those billions of rounds or some ridiculous amount of rounds for government agencies.

I'm sure a friendly neighbor can let them borrow a cup of bullets.

I think this is actually a great idea. If you know someone who needs a box or two for home defense, help them out if you can.

AmmoSeek and https://www.reddit.com/r/instock/ I picked up 2000 9mm at an average of about .28 each...higher than usual, but I have it!

That's why I signed up for Yang's $1000 cash thing. The look on their face when I tell them how it's helping improve my life would have been worth it.
