9mm ammo

LOL.....give it up already

NO.

The only reason 535 posts is because there are individuals here which are mildly interesting. A simple search of 535 may show more.

Do as you will.

AC what caliber are you shooting a thousand rounds a month of.

Troy Landry can't get his hands on CCI, now the alligators are breeding like crazy... smart gators probably know CCI is out of stock they be coming for our guns next.

Not this time, they'll never let it be as available as it has been.

just got an email from Aim surplus. they've got 30 round AR mags in stock for $15. Troy BattleMag

paid 50 bucks for 50 rounds of 9mm on two online stores a week ago, none to be found in any stores.

save it for when all hell breaks loose....

damm straight thats the plan.

What about stop wasting the ammo on the shooting range?

Most of you guys probably are pretty accurate already.

Is it not better to spend time on getting in shape, learn combat moves and battle field communication? Instead of spending precious ammo - dry practice? I would also talk to neighbors and friends, buy body armor, helmet, decent clothes, food, water, medicines, first aid... Join a militia?

Shit, the ones in my yard are laughing it up b/c they knew about the shortage and I won't waste my ammo.

That was until they met my little pneumatic friend.

Hopefully there will not be a pellet shortage any time soon.

50.oo for 50 rounds of 9mm. Shit I thought the local gun store was crazy wanting 30.00 a box for 50 rounds of generic FMJ A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. Were the two boxes you got FMJ or hollow point.

Might need to be seated deeper.

My cousin Troy is a reloader. If the max powder charge is 10 grains he has to put in 12 grains. He has locked up several revolvers. When he fires one round the other bullets in the cylinder jump crimp and move fowrad locking up the gun. Iguess thats why im iffy about usin reloads. I have some other buddies that reload and have no trouble though. Every time my cousin drops by he always brings me some of his newest reloads. I put them in a special box and mark them TROY LOADS HIGH EXPLOSIVE USE ONLY IN EMERGINCIES.

Love the attitude. I hear ya!

Get a bullet puller. It looks like a hammer, it lets you pull the bullet apart safely (they are about $30), and pull the ones your cousin gives you apart.

Then you can sell the projectiles and the cases to another reloader and use the money to buy boxes of ammo.

I think a lot of people are "stocked up" on ammunition.

The problem is, if ammunition isn't readily available, few people will go shooting for enthusiasm/hobby/training. This will effectively shut down the gun culture in the States if it continues for an extended period of time, and that's what worries me about this 'shortage'. Let's hope it ends soon.

Im just gonna pull the trigger and throw the gun. It will do more damage than a hand grenade.

Give the .40S&W another shot through a CZ75 or Beretta 96. I sometimes find a few boxes of .40 when nothing else is available. 9mm is impossible to find retail but privately runs .60 to .75 a round for brass.

I like your ole Smith Hard Eight. They are my favorite revolver.

I want a 5904:

Thanks! I think the serial placed it around 1917 and IIRC it's a .38 but maybe not special. Got a couple of Hand Ejectors and some pre-10 M & P's that are a hoot to shoot.

I just picked one up a month ago. It belonged to a local cop. Has some wear but pretty good shape for a police gun. Came with 2 14 round mags and a holster. 400.00 bucks. One of my sons is using it for his daily carry gun. I dont think im getting it back. He loves it. He was carrying my early 60s model 37 Smith airweight .38. He wanted something that held more rounds. The nines alot bigger but he loves carrying it.

Ha! That's a good one! I've been shooting for 45 years and I've had way more trouble with factory ammo than reloads. Of course they were MY reloads and not some moran reloads. Factory ammo is nothing but shit when it comes to accuracy. In pistols and bangety bang AR mall ninja rifles, I suppose it's ok, but when you want to actually hit what you aim at with an accurate bolt gun, FACTORY SUCKS! Of course the concepts of groups and accuracy are foreign to 99% of shooters.

Get some loading equipment and learn how it's really done before you judge the most precision way to acquire ammo.

I stopped shoot them and started fattening them up.

A gun trading buddy just stopped by. He had 4 boxes of 9mm FMJ Federal. He just got it with a trade. Itried to buy it from him but he said he was keeping it. He doesnt even have a 9mm pistol. Said he would use it for trading material. A tear run down my cheek as he drove off. BASTARD

I use to run across S&W model 59's for $300 but not anymore. I like them. Very popular with LE back in the day.

In my area 9mm is almost nonexistant. I spend my days off driving to the local gun stores to make friends and see whats in stock.

Just bought a brand new browning hi-power for my dads b-day and only one shop in town has 9mm ammo.

Target rounds, Winchester white box 100 rounds for $33 plus tax.

Winchester Ranger Hp+p rounds are going for $23 for 50rounds.

Guess I'm lucky to find this spot. Buying what I can now because who knows how long they will be in stock. My guy has great connects mainly because he deals with LEO and he can't justify price gouging.

He got 56,000 556 62grain hp rounds and was selling them at $800 for a 1000. It took him ten days to sell out of that stuff........Scary:(:yoda:

Around here all the older Smith autos are going for 450.00 to 550.00. A couple years ago they were 250.00 to 300.00 and they were hard to sell or trade. They have sure went up lately. Ive always thought theywere great autos.
