Yes, but it was sold out last night after you posted it. It will probably sell through again today. Not that it's a bad thing, it simply is the situation right now.

No, the allegation is that they're purchasing it to limit the supply available to the general public rather than as "training rounds" or something similar. Simply speculation based upon the observation that I've never found my range bag (or the range bag of anyone I've shot with) full of JHP pistol rounds. Even the wealthiest guys in my circle of friends fire copper jacketed solids at the range. Supplies have been so limited that various LE agencies have had trouble buying ammo.
That said, as I've already posted, things are looking up. Rifles, parts, and ammo all appear to be back in stock at various times vs a couple of months ago.
Wait... I get the rumors confused... I thought they were buying up billions of rounds of ammo to dump it on the market during the coming glut and send all the ammo manufacturers into bankruptcy so the federales could bail them out and control the production and distribution of all ammunition...![]()
That actually made me LOL
Stormin, many police agencies, mine included, use up their carry ammo in yearly quals, and in between, use ball ammo for quals and practice. Some use carry ammo exclusively. It's because of liability issues in court. Plus, they are using tax money, not their own.
Lovely. I'll snap some up when it's not 70¢ a round.
Send lawyers, guns and money the $#!+ has hit the fan...
I've got .22LR's, .45acp's and 5.56's and hardly any ammo for any of them!
All the shops around here are loaded with quality AR's and pistols but no freaking ammo!![]()
Funny how different things are from state to state... There is a good amount of ammo on the shelves around here, but it is still pricey. If I "need" it I can get it, but it is too expensive to stock up right now.
