Most stores expect things to taper off when the legislation battle is over. It took a lot of effort to get a small but comfortable stockpile and it bites to have to sit on it when you'd rather be shooting.
Were has all the 9mm Ammo gone???

Last week my local gander mountain had about a dozen boxes of 50 of various brands and a couple stacks of bulk 250 and 300 rounds. Around $25 for 50 and $100 for 250 or 300.

Bass Pro near me. Remington 250 round box $64, academy sports. Several brands of 9mm ammo. Prices from $11.99 -$14.99 50 round boxes. There is ammo around here. 10 box limit at Bass Pro, 1 box per caliber for popular ammo at Academy. Several ar's there today. My wife just got herself a Big sister to her 15-22, M&P15 Sport today at academy sports.

I honestly have not had problems getting 9mm. I scored 4 boxes just this week. I go to walmart first thing in the morning and I have been hitting up sports academy too. I passed on 9mm ammo once at walmart when they just got a box of federal. I found 3 bricks of 9mm this week and a value pack of 100 rounds. I actually have no need for 9mm right now so traded up for some .40 ammo which saves me like $3 as it's around $18-19 a box whereas 9mm is around $13
I bought 2 box(the limit) when I bought M&P 9c back in the middle of January. I have not been able to buy any since. There are only 2 places in town that sells ammo. I can't afford to drive 30- 50 miles everyday to next closest places to check if they have any. One of the places has gotten in one shipment of 9's since the 1st of the year & they were gone in about an hour.
I know guys who barely shot 50 rounds a year, who suddenly felt a need to buy a thousand rounds. I guess they are stocked up for the next 20 years.
And then melted it down.

I believe that once whatever legislative attempt there is to limit gun freedoms is decided, regardless of outcome, things will loosen up. I also don't believe that any big thing will come out of the "remember Sandy Hook" effort. The danger is in being complacent and allowing incremental gains. They have done this to us for the last 40 years on nearly every front we hold dear.

St. Louis has a Cabela's, a Bass Pro, and a plethora of Wally Worlds with quite a few LGS's.
I went to Cabelas Thursday after work, an acquaintance told me they had both 9mm and 22 LR Wednesday. The shelves were bare of those 2 but they had quite a bit of Herters steel case 5.56. Limit 5, I bought that, they had just received AR 30 round Magazines, bought 2 of those @ $25 each, it is the same one Bushmaster ships with their guns I was told. I also bought a 25 round box of 12 gauge #4 Buck. It makes an effective home door greeter.
I ran by Bass Pro after that, no 9 m or 22LR, they had 4 boxes of Rem 180 grain 44 MAg, bought 2, they had 3 boxes of 357 mag, bought one of those. $30 for the 357 and $40 for the 44. Shot one box of each caliber at the range today.
I had stuff before the locusts ate the shelves bare and I'm just looking for a few boxes of plinking 9 MM for my wife's Sig. Bass pro had a 5 box limit.
I do not go to Walmart to look for ammo, but each time my wife wants grocery shopping company I go and swing by the ammo department, other than some 270, 243, 308, 30-06 and shotgun ammo it is always empty.

Its getting better around my area.
All the stores had 9mm at different times the last two days.
I actually spent a lot of time a aggravation running around my area gathering up 9 mm and 22lr over the last month.
My area is getting some sort of ammo in 2-3 times a week so its getting better IMO.

If you can find an M&P 9 now,I'd go for it. The next "wave" coming in will be when the ammo catches up and the "weapons of choice" suddenly get hard to find (again) and the prices start going up ...again.
I'd get one ESP. living in Colo. What they gonna try and take away next ?

I think that is a major part of the problem.
But - at the last gunshow here there was a bunch of unsold 9mm at show's end. In a previous post I said I believed that a few days like that will help bring prices down.
I know those boys don't like hauling that unsold ammo back out to the truck after a two-day show. They're likely to come down a bit on their prices for their next show.
So be patient and prices and availability should gradually improve.

Where's the 9mm?
We're living in a time when our Gov't is becomming afraid of law-abiding citizens. There is so much "conspiracy talk," that at least some of it has to be true. I'm just glad there is still some reloading component availability. my best source is still Midway, or Black Hills Shooting Supply. Does the Social Security Admin really have 1MM rounds of 9mm?

Our local Walmart has not received a single round of any caliber of ammo since last December. The next nearest Walmart is 35 miles away and they have had no ammo deliveries in several months. I don't know why, but no ammo is being delivered around here. There is a rumor that a Walmart up the coast got one case of CCI Blazer a couple of weeks ago. The store rationed it to one box/50 and sold out in an hour.
