At wal-Mart @ 529@6 right now. 8 boxes wwb .45acp 100ct!!! No 380 though. They have tons of everything else, even cheap .223!

Also, if you're ever in a wal-mart when the power goes out, apparently people think it's the end of the world, and freak out accordingly

wish I had my chl already, had it lasted more than 5 minutes, there might have been looting

What he forgets to mention is that GM has probably upped it's price to 2x what it should be...

Holy Carps... If we're starting to see .45ACP in stores, perhaps this IS the end of the shortage!

Horray!!!!

Now I need to buy me a few thousand rounds so I'll never be caught short again!

Gander Mtn at 290@Hwy6 had Tons of everything but .45ACP.

However.. THEY DID HAVE .45ACP (just not tons of it)

Fiocchi 230gr FMJ's for $29.99 a box. They had like 15 boxes left after I grabbed 4.

This is the alert that you requested on 01/23/2009.

Item CC5230 is currently in stock and available for purchase.

That's for Blaser Brass .45ACP FMJ. Looks like the shortage may be lifting.... but to get this back in stock took longer than my CHL!

It's already gone :(
The only thing left is the aluminum cased stuff.

Anyone find it interesting (maybe even machiavellian) that enthusiasts themselves have more effectively undermined shooting (particularly handgun sporting and reloading) than any legislation I can remember? Hope none of the anti- folks are taking notes.

You can call it undermining if you want..

But This year alone has already surpassed last year's CHL application numbers.
NRA Membership is up, people who never owned guns before in their lives are buying them and educating themselves.

Personally, this 'scare' has done nothing but good things for gun ownership as a whole, and bad things for those who oppose it.
It's even been good for the economy! The Gun business has been BOOMING in a time of Huge recession.

Well, okay, the ammo shortage sucks, and the prices are still high, but supply and demand dictates here. As the supply gets larger as manufacturers catch up, prices will go back down.. hopefully

Gander @ 290&6 had enough ammo to start a small revolution. Probably about 100-150 boxes of 9mm were out on a small pallet. the shelves were not lacking .40s&w or .38spc at all.

The only thing they didn't have was .45acp FMJ
They had 3 tiny boxes of Hornady XTP +P, but wanted an arm and a leg for em.

Sigh.

I went to Both Academy and Gander at 290&Hwy 6 in Houston just now

Academy doesn't have anything worth talking about.

Gander Mtn had tons of 38 special, and .40
they had some 9mm, and absolutely NO .45acp

They also had a pallet of Bulgarian 7.62x54R out on the floor, on 'Special' for $240 for 440rds
I just laughed at that, as I just got 880rds of the exact same for $200 online.
Then I cried as I bought 3 boxes of Federal 5.56 for $15 a box of 20
I'm gonna make a nice 5.56 order from online somewhere, but I needed some immediately to test out my AR build this week.

Anyone got any leads on .45acp HST's?

Somewhere online would be preferred, but anywhere around Houston also accepted.

Would like to pick up around 200 or so.

I just bought 880 Rounds for only $200!

... Of course it was 7.62x54R

Mental Note: When the proverbial fan gets hit, Get to Lufkin ASAP, and bunker down with LT

I have only a few hundred rounds, total, of all calibers. Finding ammo in Houston, especially SD ammo, is nigh impossible.

10 boxes of Blazer .40 at Wal-mart on 529@Hwy 6 in Houston.
No 9mm or .45
They also have a sign up that says ONE box per person...
