The key, of course, is in being able to spot the ammo crisis brewing.

I was already more than good in all the popular handgun and MSR calibers except .38 Special. My .38 Special ammo purchasing had not kept pace with my .38 Special revolver purchasing over the past year or so. Fortunately, I got in just before things got stupid crazy and I'm all set now.

But now a new crisis: I have my first vintage .32 S&W Long revolver on the way in and I have not one round of .32 S&W Long ammo in the entire stash. I'm looking for bulk, but it now looks like I'm going to have to settle for crumbs.

Lesson learned: In the middle of a national ammo shortage crisis, make sure you've bought the ammo before you buy the gun!
