Is 9mm out of stock again?
« on: February 15, 2014, 06:04:38 PM »
Recently, when I have gone into sporting goods stores I have seen plenty of boxes of 9mm.  Different brands, different quantities, FMJ's JHP's of different brands it really seemed like things were getting back to normal.  I still didn't see very much .22LR but at least 9mm was back on the shelves.  I figured I could just go buy what I wanted when I wanted at this time.

I finally decided to change my carry ammo so I went to a local sporting goods store to go buy some.  The last several times I have been in there they have had spear gold dot or federal HST(I think it was that store that would have HST too).  I go in today and I don't see any 9mm.  They had shelves of everything else, but no 9mm.  I asked an employee and with a stupid look on his face, his hands up like he was begging for change and a rude tone of voice tell me that 9mm is impossible to find.  It was like he wanted to say, "why would you expect to see 9mm on our shelves, DUH"  But aside from his rude gesture and tone is 9mm impossible to find AGAIN?

I didn't bother going anywhere else because I needed to get home but REALLY, is 9mm hard to find again or what?  No more shooting up my limited supply if I can't replenish it.

I called around a bit, nobody has any in stock in my area.  I often wish I did not live in such a populated area.  When things are hard to find people will just buy it all up when they see it, even if they dont need it themselves. Sons of snitches!

Oh and I was looking for either speer gold dots.. prob 124 grain, or federal hst.  I may just have to order it online. I also need more range ammo so it sucks that its all gone again. Im about to buy a dang .45 just so I can get ammo.

Ah, the midget 10mm.  Did you have to turn in your man card when you bought that? hehehehehe.  I almost bought a Glock 23, I am wishing that I had at this point because I could have always just purchased a 9mm barrel for it and had two calibers to work with without having to buy another gun.

I mostly see HUGE amounts of .45 though, I see plenty of .40 but the .45 is always plentiful.  Even in bulk 250 round packs....that are somehow priced more per round than boxes of 50...
