Where you can get it - Gunbroker.com
At a reasonable price... No.
Flippers are getting all they can and charging astronomical prices for it. If you can get a box or two at a LGS cheap a few times a week, do it. If not, just sit tight until the panic purchasing subsides - it will come back eventually. Maybe keep an eye out on MidwayUSA and set-up to be auto notified when stuff is back in stock.

You're just now noticing? It's been gone for a quarter of a year already.
But at least it's easier to get than 22LR.
Bob's Bullets has 3,000 9 mm rounds sitting on the shelf. Have you thought about casting bullets and reloading ammo? I'm Bob in my day job

I use gunbot, slick guns, and the Walmart app and I got about 600 rounds in the last week. And I won't spend more than 30 cents a round for my target rounds. You just have to put some effort into it to beat out the flippers. It's tough, but not impossible. Most 9mm is staying at my walmarts for at least a day or two before they run out.

It's stored away in the homes of people that once thought having 400 rounds of 9mm on hand was sufficient, but now think 4,000 rounds or more is barely enough. Not that I'm judging, but all the talk makes me want to buy when I know I have no need to buy right now.
My walmarts ALL of them around here sell out in seconds. There are actually people there lined up still at 530 am waiting for the 7 am guy to come in and sell it. Sickening. Most of it winds up on gunbroker. I see alot of 300 round federal (walmart limit) selling daily on there for 3x - 5x the price and people pay it..
I stocked up well before the craze took hold luckily but I shoot weekly. Depending on where you live your WM might have it in, not around here. You can find it, good luck.

I think it is more of where you live that makes the difference. I have a full time job that requires more than 40 hours a week all the time, but my Walmarts are not like the ones you are talking about. The 9mm ammo will sit on the shelf for sometimes two days before someone gets it. I dont know what I would do if I lived somewhere where they have people waiting for ammo 2 hours before they open. And that is just in case they get ammo that day.

Same here now days. They were hard to find like AR's for awhile. But now they can be found just as easy as the AR's. I live in the South, so most everyone down here already has a safe full of AR's and ammo.
Carry rnds aren't a problem as my LGS has them albeit at slightly inflated prices... it's target rnds that I can't find. All the big box stores around me have been cleared out within an hour of putting ANY pistol ammo out since Nov. I've been trying to get some 9mm and .40 for six weeks now but refuse to pay the silly prices at auction. I finally had a day off today and got first in line at 7am. Managed to get 3x1000 rnds (bulk 9mm FMJ) @ $0.25/rnd so I'm good with that caliber. Now I just need to find some .40 FMJ.

Here in South Florida all Walmart and Basspro are empty but in my LGS they have S&B 115Grains for just $12.99.
Well, you can thank J-No at DHS for some of this mess: 9mm Ammo Shortage: Part of Backdoor Gun Control?. DHS will have 5 rounds for every single American, not to mention hundreds of armored vehicles, etc. It's not clear if they're planning for domestic violence or Obama is doing some "back door" gun control like the article says.

It's like that up here in the North too.
"Most" of us were well stocked way before this hit. . I DO like the limits WallyWorld has FINELY put on. It helps keep those "long range flippers" away.
I'm a newbie who's in the market for an M&P 9.... but since I'm having a tough time getting 22lr for my first two guns, it doesn't make sense to get another gun *right now* that's hard to get ammo for. It's a rough time to be getting into the sport.... seems that the ammo is going mostly to hoarders and gougers.
Unfortunately, my area is not that well stocked, and the WalMarts seem to put ammo out at 8:00am when I have to be at work.
I will get the M&P 9, just going to ride it out for a bit. Glad to hear that in some areas it's not a major thing to buy some ammo at a fair price.
