Now that it's more readily available, I am paying 9mm prices for the .380.... just bought 10 boxes of 50 each for $12.99, and the monarch brand 50 count for $14.99. And, I don't think Ruger nor Taurus could produce their 380 pistols any faster than they are now and cannot keep up with the demand as is.seniorshooteress wrote:Seems to me that the Ruger folks: Makers of the LCP, would be putting a bug into ammo manufactures ears about making more .380 ammo. They might sell more LCP's if the .380 were more readily available and same price as 9mm.

Re: .380 ammo
Prez of one of the ammo manufacturers said that the companies only run a batch of the .380 once a year. Apparently, they then set the equipment up to produce other calibers. Given the fact I am seeing .380 in abundance wherever I go right now, would seem this must be the time of the year! That is what hurt them before... the LCP came out after they ran their batch... then the TCP, and the Obama-mania.
