Default Small Pistol Primers available
As I type this, at 6:15PM Eastern, 10/19/20, a website called Fedarm has "Fort Smith" brand small pistol primers available for about $170/5000 delivered.

I know nothing about the company, primer brand or anything else. You're completely on your own should you decide to take the plunge. I'm going to hold out.

Discovered this site from a Facebook post and placed my order. The backorder status didn’t dissuade me as I have plenty of SPP, but don’t know where/when my replacements will come. I have time to wait. Hate that they charge double shipping if you want 2 cases. Wasn’t worth it to me, so just ordered the one.

I did a little research on Ft. Smith primers. They are made in Russia, and seem to work OK. No info beyond that.

Looks like stroker468 answered my question. For those that have placed an order was your card charged? I wouldn't mind placing an order and have it show up a couple of months later but don't like my card being charged, especially from someone I've never heard of.

Be sure of what you are getting. I read another thread in this forum saying Fort Smith primers are Berdan type which do not have the built in anvils that enable firing in most American cases.
They are Russian primers made for cases with built in anvils.

Buy at your own risk

Interesting that they had to relabel them for a US market.

Here’s a link to the company’s Russian website. They make every breed of primer known to man. Partners with TulAmmo and Barnaul.

I took the plunge. I'm down to 2,000 SPP. I want to keep shooting. Thanks for posting the info. What could possibly go wrong?

I ordered from Fedarm prior to the great panic of 2020. Their small pistol primers work great so far in my guns. They are Russian primers manufactured by Murom.
This is the label on one of my boxes.

Yikes! Looks like they almost tripled their prices in the last few hours. For those that have placed orders, check it out. Looking at their policies page says they can do it to orders that were already placed.

I ordered early. $34 a 1000 delivered. I am guessing that they will pull a “ cheaper than dirt “ trick and not honor the order. Wondering how long they will keep my $$$

I’m thinkn’ the same thing...my order shows “on hold”....but my card was charged. Not really worried. The credit card company is usually good about protecting their customers.

Be careful, they have your credit card info.

If you cancel they might hit you with a $100 "restocking fee"

Call them first.

I almost placed an order yesterday at that $34/1000 price, but something in my head kept telling me that when something seems too good to be true there will be a catch.

I'm really glad I decided against ordering as I'm reasonably certain they won't honor that price on any orders that were placed but not shipped yet. And I sure as hell don't intend to pay the new price.

From their website

Fine print, 'Terms and Conditions'

"All sales are final. If you cancel for any reason and have already been charged, your refund will not include the processing fee"

FedArm | The official webstore of Federal Armament, your place to find ammunition at a great price.

There's also a disclaimer that if they mistakenly listed an incorrect price they can refuse or cancel your order whether of not your order was confirmed and your card has been charged. They say they will refund at the incorrect price. No time limit though.

More like bait and switch, from what I understand their ammo is ****** but primers are the same as used in Wolf and Bernaul ammo production, they should be OK.

Just got an email that my order is cancelled because backorder is not ok for this item. Their mistake. They haven't reversed the credit card charge yet though. Who's surprised by this?

Same...cancelled. I also checked my credit card. The charge shows as pending...so it validated the card, but never put through the charge. Typical for many firms that take your data, then don’t put through the final charge until shipped....or in the case of several firms in our industry, finalize the charge when the shipping label is printed.
