Re: .380 ammo

Wow & double Wow!! The .380 shortage has caused gun stores to rely on Wal-Mart as their primary supplier! Well....this we have known for a lonnnngggggg time. As well as Academy. And W.M. is not liking it.

IMO, this is a good idea they have. Perhaps...just perhaps, this might cut back on the price gouging we've seen on that ammo by others.....maybe not. But at least it's good that they recognize what's going on and refuse to join in!

I say, Kudos to Wal-Mart! :thumbs2:

Oh go ahead TLynn! You know you need one. Tell that hubby of yours you want an early (insert here) present! You deserve it!

(besides, that's the only way I can an even match between you & I) :biggrinjester:

Re: .380 ammo

My go to place is Academy Sports First. They seem to have it more readily available than anyone else. The price is right too for $14.99 for a box of 50(Monarch Brand).
Then Wal-Mart. Then Bass Pro Shop. Then Cabela's.

Lastly, get out the phone book and start calling the gun stores. I've found they are MUCH more expensive than the above, but have some in stock.

CALL BEFORE YOU GO! Call several locations that are accessible to you. Have them hold a box or 2 for you.

This is the only way I forage for ammo, and I've had pretty good luck with it. And good luck to you! :tiphat:
