Yep, I've noticed.
Luckily, I have some ammo in reserve....
Sporting goods stores and WalMarts are all short of pistol ammo. Available from several online sources including:
http://gunbroker.com/
http://www.northwestshootersupply.com/
http://www.rrarms.com/
There is a seller on Gunbroker.com in Stillwater, OK that has the best prices currently on several calibers of pistol ammo. Search for Ammunitioncenter as a seller.
Went to Walmart yesterday and confirm they had nothing. Went on to Gander Mountain and was not able to get buck shot for the .410 Judge nor for the 12g Rem 870 pump. :(
Was able though to get a few boxes ea of 45 colt, 44 mag, and 38 S&W spec.
Got raped on the price, 44s were $39.00/box:eek:
Here's something good to read Tuga, it goes along with what Jeff Bayley said, and what I believe.

So I guess the question remains, where did it all go??
Remington and Winchester putting serial numbers on them now or in the process of re-tooling to do so??? Just a thought...
Had he been un-armed, I think the worst feeling would have been realizing as it was going down, that you had failed in your duty to protect your family (wife).
Keep up the good work Roger!

I'm ready to buy two 12 gauge shotguns. One for the bus and one for the house. I like to buy everything used and I'm a Craig's List freak but I don't think they allow people to sell guns there. But prostitution remains alive and well there...(you know......I mean I've heard).
I found a Gun Show directory that shows where all the gun shows are in the country and suppose this would be decent place to shop. I don't even know how much I'll need to spend for a good one but I'm open to suggestions. Obviously I should look for one with a shorter barrel for the bus. I don't know what the legal limit for shortness is but I recall the article Jim posted the link to, they suggested 18" for marine use.
Hey, if we pull the windshield rally off, the old windshields would make fun target practice but the Texas store is probably the only one that wouldn't call the police on us.
Jeff, take a look at www.gunbroker.com to get an idea of what is available and what a realistic price would be. Dealers are required to do a background check at the time of sale - at the shows here in Ohio we can buy or sell among private individuals with just a check of a valid ID (ie driver license no background check) to see if the purchaser is from Ohio. Maybe it's the same at the shows in Florida or other states.
Looks like ammo would have been quite a good investment.
What little 9mm ammunition one of the local gun shops had on hand (a whopping 4 boxes of Winchester FMJ) was priced at $22.00/box of 50.
And you can forget about .380 auto.
I'm hoping to make a few bucks at the next gun show...:D
What do you guys think of a 22 cal pistol? That is what I purchased because it was easy to target practice with and the ammo was inexpensive. I think 50 rounds cost $1.95 at WalMart. Another advantage is if the pistol is confiscated by law enforcement I'm only out about $300:)
A friend recommended keeping a 10 round clip filled with "stinger" bullets. And just use the regular 22 bullets for target practice. Another advantage is that Louise will feel more comfortable firing a low caliber gun as opposed to a 44 MAGNUM! I want her to feel comfortable and at ease.
I would like to hear your opinions.
