Hi Folks!
The ammunition shortage that has plagued this nation, for too long in my eyes, has prompted me to devise a 'Plan B', (I can hear the 'Oh No's').
I have .38 Special revolvers, and I have noticed somethiing peculiar, on the store shelves, and on the web. Any .38 Special ammunition that is produced, in anything OTHER THAN standard full and semi-wadcutters, is getting sucked up by that federal vacuum, and suppliers are listing 'out-of-stock' items to where the caveat, "We got it, but we don't got it, and we can cancel your order at anytime.", is the norm.
So ... "Engage, Plan B!"
Plan B is this: purchase said full or semi-wadcutter ammunition, as produced by the vendor, for the sole purposes of plinking, home and self defense, and concealed carry. The rationale is that it is MANUFACTURED ammunition, and NOT anything that I might have the potential to attempt handloading. I do NOT have unlimited funds, so for those that would propose, "a buck a bullet that goes at plus-p speed, but are not plus p", I'm not interested. I have looked at Bitterroot Valley Ammunition Company; The Hunting Shack; Georgia Arms; and I.Q. Metals, for sources.
How do you consider using these companies, for my intended purposes?
