Were has all the 9mm Ammo gone???

[Smitty357]

I'm still looking for extra mags for my 9mm Shield. I see some 7 rd mags out there. Is there anyone with extra 8 rd mags? Or is that "Politically Incorrect"?

There are plenty of shield mags around here. Either mag in either caliber, whichever u prefer.

Our local Walmart has not received a single round of any caliber of ammo since last December.

same deal in Placerville. Walmart looks like a ghost town on that isle. I've got mine, but still look when i go thru there. it's comical and sad at the same time.

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.

Were they stocked on a regular basis before December? Ammo is hit or miss at the Walmarts in Richmond but there is always something on the shelf. 30-06, .270, bunch of shotgun ammo last week.

gunbot has been a Science send(South Park pun.), your best luck is usually 11am EST, and 3-5pm EST. I've picked up nearly 2k in rounds of good, quality stuff, under $.40 a bullet, for FMJ.

 

[Evofire34]

I just buy it when I see it. I have not even had my gun a month, and I have stock piled over 1200 rounds at an average price of 32 cents a round.

Not great at 48 cents/round before shipping but it's in stock. I grabbed 2 boxes a week or two ago and it arrived with no issues (plus one box of their boxes of "48 hour sale" .223). 50 rds - 9mm Aguila 124gr FMJ AU1E092110

I've got a couple boxes of Winchester white box target 9mm ($30+tax per 100) headed to the local Cabela's to go pick up in a couple days (along with some .22LR that's already there waiting for me). Also the range I've been frequenting had bulk reloaded 9mm for I want to say $14/50 (or maybe per 25) and boxed reloaded stuff for $16 (again, I think it was per 50 but might have been per 25). Don't forget to check the most obvious place for range ammo... the range.

 

[BigBlueSix]

Just picked up some at precision rifle. I don't think I would call it "reasonable" but at the same time, it was under .50 a round. They had .38spl as well (I just bought a revolver, too), so I pulled the trigger. Gotta shoot something. 200 total rounds with shipping came out to $150.
So, "reasonable"? No. "Acceptable?" I guess so.

 

[kamanone]

The major problem in all this is a lack of foresight. "Guns and ammo will always be there". The nubies waited to buy guns, many shooters waited until the threat of Obamaban to stock up on ammo. If things cool off lets stock up a little at a time and maybe avoid this happening again.

I had 1000 rds of WWB in the safe so I felt pretty prepared for this shortage. I was at the Tulsa show this weekend and early Friday ran into a guy putting 900 rounds of Black Hills Ammunition (red box) 115gr JHP on his table. I got it for $22/box. I think I did ok but that is still .44/round. I left 900 rounds of the blue box for the next guy. 20 minutes later it was all gone.

 

[mobilecommand]

Stack it deep when its cheap.

 

[nrowensby]

Just left the LGS; they had several 100rd boxes of WWB for $31.99...

 

[Boris B]

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.

So what.. If they want to buy 5 or 10 thousand rounds it's no one's but their own business.

A thousand rounds ain't squat.

I am quiet sure many doing the complaining have more ammo on hand today than they did a year ago.

But of course that's different somehow.

Maybe anyone that feels like they are being treated unfairly should tell me how many rounds I am allowed to have...

Yeah , I'd like to hear that.

PSA has plenty of Fiocchi 9mm they usually also have MagTech or Blazer Brass 9mm.

 

[Karmael]

It took me two hours to find 9mm ammo online, and yes, I panicked and bought 10 of the 31 boxes on stock. The real difficulty is finding an inexpensive range-round for target shooting. All I can find is shoot-through-wall-to- the neighbors-place rounds online. The shooting range I go to seems to have inexpensive range-round so I buy them there. Now I just need to find some bad guys for the hollow-points- not.

Not online... and it's quite a drive for the OP from NJ...

 

[southchatham]

I just came back from 2 gun shops and no 9mm to be had. I just shot 100 last weekend and will have to stop until I can replenish. I also don't have time to stalk the gun shops. Sucks.

9MM Ammo

Try Dick's. If they have it. I call every few days. When I am lucky it is $14.99 for box of 50. Been getting Remingtons.

 

[gsxrdrag]

My LGS here in CT had more than 15,000 rounds on the shelf today. 50rd boxes of Federal American Eagle 115gr 9mm for $13.99 with a 2 box limit.

 

[Cokeman]

I found some Blazer Brass today for $14.99/50 round box. I can finally shoot my new Shield.

 

[Skeptic 9c]

Nothing in NE FL, except for very expensive SD rounds at Gander Mountain. Bulk pack 5.56 and 9mm and .45 has disappeared. WalMart is getting squat in and they haven't seen .22 LR in months.

Who passed up 420 round cans of 5.56 waiting for a sale. Oh well he who hesitates is loused!
