Panic Buying Over Yet?

[Medjay]

Two things:

Haven't been on here in a bit but man, what's with all the pissing and name calling? I wonder if you all would talk like that in front of each other in public? wtf

Also, manufacturers are no longer considering this a "panic". This is a recognized state of continuing scenario in the US and appears that it will continue regardless of the election in Nov. Most quality manufacturers across all channels have more orders in que than they could actually fill this year if they stopped taking any new orders in tomorrow. Keep that in mind. If you're not dry firing at home to keep up with skills and rationing your ammo for range days you should rethink your position. Unless you have an ammo tree, in which case I'll pay good money for some good seeds or saplings if they're for sale.

I'm a big believer in the .22LR during 'panics'...can still go practice, still use it for defense...easy to carry a lot of rounds, lightweight...

Because being behind a screen they have lost the fear of getting punched in the noggin or gut and have forgotten what it's like to get smacked around for opening their sucks at the wrong people.

If we ever survive this mess, I should at least try to buy either a Mk47 or a PSA47, because one thing that this panic has taught me, is to get into the cheaper peasant caliber because it will still be available until wiser folks start catching on as of late.

On that train of thought, I have noticed a few calibers are still in stock to be ordered, though they may not be on the shelf at your local shop.

5.45x39
.41mag
.357SIG
6.5Grendel

None of these are any slouch and are all effective within their particular realms. Yes,...they tend to cost more during regular times. But right now, their prices are nearly unchanged,...and even cheaper in many cases than .223 or 9mm!

This is the wrong approach. The correct approach is to buy it cheap and stack it deep so you don't have to worry about it when the shortages occur.

I've got a KKM match barrel in .40 coming in soon, it's a conversion barrel for my G20. Makes me feel a bit better and saves me some cash from having to go looking for a G22 gen 4. Plus as you know, the 20 feels like we're firing mouse farts with .40 unconverted already so why not, right?

The way .40 ammo inventory was the first to recover back in 2013 after that ammo shortage had a lot to do with why I have a G23 with the 9mm conversion barrel. I almost never shoot it in .40, and just keep the original barrel as a back-up caliber for what if.

Saw a couple of places online with the Glock 43X in stock for $549, so maybe the storm is letting up...

That's about $100 over what they where and should be going for. Not bad. I want an all black one but I've waited this long. Maybe in another month or 2 they will be less than $500 and I'll snatch one up.

Truth.

Stay cool and pick it up alongside the road when someone else drops it...

If you reload and buy plenty of powder, primers and bullets you are immune to the panic. JMHO

... I have a G23 with the 9mm conversion barrel. I almost never shoot it in .40, and just keep the original barrel as a back-up caliber for what if.

I did this with my M&P and XD - buy the .40 version and get the 9mm conversion barrel... you can't go the other way around and in a pinch 40 mags will usually work with 9mm (except the last round).

There is a whole lot of truth to this.

I think really the key this time is primers. I can cast my own slugs, I’ve got brass. Powder and primers...

 

[DRTDIVR]

9mm is out most places. As is 45 ACP and .223/5.56. Everything is .60 to .70 a round for brassed case if you can find it. More remanufactured stuff is showing up - which is to be expected. Wish the manufacturers would step up their game. SG Ammo had about 15-20 cases of .223 this morning. It's gone now. A little of the expensive stuff is left. Never seen this in my lifetime - and didn't expect I ever would.

Someone is expecting violence.

Suspect they're right.

Hope they're wrong.

How much is SG Ammo charging for those cases of .223?

 

[Suck My Glock]

3 weeks ago they were .50 cents per round. 1 week ago they were .60 cents per round. I think they were getting .75 cents per round for the last ones.

Absolutely true. I take care of the inventory of powder, primers and bullets and Mrs. Flash takes care of rimfire needs.

We shoot as much as we want whenever we want, at least twice a week.

I’ll I had to see was CLIPS :snooty:

 

[knockonit]

my pm box is blowing up over the powder, ,primers and misc. units for sale, lotsa viewers, and a few takers, but most of the common good stuff is gone, and prices had to go up to reflect replacement costs, sucks, as i really wanted to get rid of this stuff, tired of storing things i probably won't use before i croak.

 

[samnev]

I thought I over bought. But now I'm glad I did. I have enough powder, primers and projos to last me 10 lifetimes.
