I swear.....for the past year I've not seen a single box of .45 acp at my local store. Not one. Oh well, that's life.......so I suck it up and just go to a local gunshop or "Dick's" and pay the extra bucks. Now, I realize the ammo is THERE.....just not when I happen to be there.....just a matter of timing.
Yesterday, however was something else. Big suprise! I was'nt even shopping for ammo. Just stopped in to pick up some basic house needs: light bulbs/batteries...etc. I tell myself to not even bother browsing the ammo cabinet because "it" won't even be there. Well I decide what-the-hell....why not?
Shocked. I find an almost FULLY stocked cabinet of not just .45 acp.....but lots of stuff that normally ain't there. A dozen or so boxes of .44 mag (2 brands) .357, etc.
.....and .45 acp? FOUR brands! The most was 20 or 30 boxes of WW 100 round "white box" Several boxes of JHP. Several boxes of a brand I don't remember.
I picked up 2 boxes of 230 g FMJ WW 100 round and 3 boxes of federal 50 round 230 g FMJ.
Spent a lot more than I PLANNED to on this Walmart visit but I figured to "get-while-the-gettin's-good".
I do realize Walmart/ammo threads are kinda redundent.....usually about nearly EMPTY shelves......but I'm wondering if this is a sign of things to come....OR .....Maybe the "hoarders" are finally stocked up?
....Perhaps it was simply a matter of timing.....just my lucky day.
Are other folks seeing more stock in their areas of the country?
