Walked into Scottsdale gun club as I was in the area getting lunch and they have nothing on the walls. SGC does not have great pricing so it was crazy to see how empty they were.

Bass Pro (not known for good prices) has a very small shelf with about 8 guns. Everything else is empty.

The regular gunshops I go to in Tucson have started having more pistols and rifles in stock. I am still surprised shotguns are in such high demand.

Probably because the novice shooters feel more comfortable with the shotgun requiring less training to be an effective defensive weapon.

That's funny to me because I've seen several people at the range short stroke a shotgun and then look at it like it's broken. Can't just stare at it in a gun fight.

Anyone seen a G43X in black anywhere at normal prices?

ammoseek.com shows the cheapest 9mm around 40 cents per round, double what I paid a month ago.

I haven't been out gun shopping in a while. Guess I'm going to have to take a day to do the tour of the gun stores to see what's out there.

It's not over. Look at this GB auction for primers. Several more with the same pricing.

If these sells for $600+, I'm selling out my inventory and retiring.

Good Lord. I'm sitting on over 4k of these and I have no idea how many CCI SR.
Please people, just wait this out. In about 6 months people are going to feel like jackasses when you can pick these back up for under $50 a box of 1k.

Maybe. Depends on the results of the election.

there is no relief in site, per some major dealers, small shipments on shooters, prices going up almost weekly, ammo is probably being held back till they can push that up. just about every industry in any type of supply and demand, is "supposedly" experienceing an issue with production, delivery, man power ect. i get it, meaning i get the new price upping, glad i went deep on reloading shiat, shame others didn't pony up with some compadres and make a plan. No man is an island or a shooter, even a single guy needs a spotter, if you get the drift.
