If certain things happen in the Senate and Supreme Court....this "will pass" on a whole new level.

Boy, she must have lots of $$$ to burn.

The wife just told me she bought a new 9mm pistol, also !!

No model number or make yet, but I guess she got tired of the 3" Kahr ?

Later.

If you think retail prices are high, take a look at your local Armlist. One guy here has two 1000 count bricks of small rifle primers. Asking price is $250 each.
Another has a 1000 rd case of some sort of foreign surplus .45acp loose packed in a wooden crate. His price is $1500. Oh, but he will break it up into 100 round lots for $1.50 per round.
I can understand supply and demand on the retail side. But these scalpers just piss me off.

"Why are they charging so much for guns and ammo?"

Because people buy it anyway.

I had to run to Kroger's this morning and when I came out, I decided to run into Cabela's next door, not expecting to see anything. Walked to the back of the store and ran into a long line of customers. Turned out Cabela's received in truck load of ammo and supplies and were keeping the customers in check. I jumped in line figuring I would wait it out and see what they had. The limit imposed was 8 boxes of ammo. 9mm was already sold out but they did have Federal Magnum small pistol primers in stock. Picked up a 1000 at $4.99/100. Can't complain that there was any price gouging going on as the price seemed to be their normal "not on sale" price. Sounds like things are starting to break loose a little.

I have posted a few recent findings from one or another LGS. Luck of the day draw and mostly everything but 38sp. and .357.
Both of my dealers sell at reasonable prices but this week 380 was up to $24.95/box, 44 mag at $44.95/bx, and 357Sit at $54.95/bx.
Last week one of my range customers came in bragging that he just bought a case of 9mm for $700 from one of the Ammoseek distributors. The guy in the next lane to him bought 400 rounds from our local LGS the day before @ $21/bx.
Different strokes....

We've been here before, this will pass.
( I really hope).....

I'm thinking seriously about buying a used Ruger LCP in 380 that Bubba dipped in a pixelated camo pattern for $475 since i tcomes with 9 50 round boxes of 380. Take the ammo leave the gun....

For those that really want to spend money on ammo, check out Freedom Munitions, quite a bit in stock but nothing is near their prices of a year ago. I suspect they are using the primers that Xtreme was selling/making prior to the bankruptcy to make their stuff. I am done with buying ammo and components for a while, I will spend my shooting money on airsoft/bb gun stuff.

I think the guy that bought the case got the best deal. He got 600 more bullets for just a few dollars more. Next week he will get more money but there might not be more bullets. Larry

If ammo is $1 a round and you shoot 100 rounds a week, how much can you actually shoot? $400 a month is an expensive hobby and that's just for the ammo. I guess you could pass on that new truck or taking the family on vacation. Maybe there's people on this forum that bought Microsoft stock at $4 a share but how many people do you know who have the disposable income to maintain that kind of expense on recreation? I think we're getting to the saturation point. COVID is releasing it's grip on the distribution chain. People are going back to regular work. The dollar a round 9mm seems to be hanging around longer. Be patient. We will be paying what we were a year ago, plus inflation. These prices are not sustainable. It's just a matter of time.
