Ammo availability
« on: December 03, 2009, 07:38:42 PM »
  Just checked Natchez Shooting Supplies and they have 9mm in stock. 115 gr Gold Dot hollow points, std pressure. 22.95 per 20 rd box and 20 box maximum. I ordered another 10 boxes, nowadays it seems you had better grab whatever ammo you can, when you can.  Gene

Or you could have bought 50-round boxes of 124 or 147 gr Gold Dots for $24.95.

 I have roughly 2000 rds of 9mm in hand.  Now building up .45 stock. If the prices stay up, may have to switch to practising with reloads.  :)

I was just contacted by Midway that they were shipping some Gold Dots in 380acp I ordered on 11/21.
And our local Walley-World has had 380s, 45s, 9mm and 40S&W (they have had a regular supply of 40s)
I bought my PM40 because they always had ammo for it.   ;D
Maybe the drought is starting to ease.

It's still hard to believe these prices.  I bought .45's in the 90's
for $9.95 for a box of 50.  Every time I would see them, I would buy 10 boxes.  I was buying more that I could shoot.  

That was a good thing.  I still have more than I want to shoot.  How times change.

What do you think about the price of Ed Brown, Kriss, and Rohrbaugh products?

I have to look at each one as the upper class of products that they are.  I've always liked quality, and with the Ed Brown, Kriss, and Rohrbaugh, you have it.   That being said, these products command a premium in price.

As to my thoughts on their price, I think they're worth it.

I agree; as with guns, ammo, and most everything else: "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of cheap price is forgotten."

How true!  And look what the poor quality ammo does to the R9.
