Weekend at the LGS

Yes, from my personal experience here in MA (for what that's worth) everything is selling out. The stores I went in only had, at best, a few bolt action rifles left. Very little ammo.
 
Actually went into my local Bi-Mart today, still several black plastic pistols (SA Hellcats not selling?) on the shelves, looks like the 1911s were sold (Kimbers and RIA).

But tons of .22 LR ammo. Bought a couple boxes of Mini-Mags that I don't need, just because. No .45 ACP or 9MM. Perhaps it's time to get back into .40 S&W? Or .380?

My neighborhood LGS has been making a killing the last couple weeks. I'll drop in next couple of days and see if they have anything left. They sell a butt-ton of Glocks, SIGs, S&Ws, Caniks, Bersas and the like.

Gonna be an interesting ride ...

Wow....compared to us you look fully stocked!!!
 
You are in a lot better shape than the local Sams Club. I think all of their food and paper products would have only filled one semi trailer. Around here there seem to be a lot of long arms in general but common caliber pistols are about wiped out. If you wanted a Desert Eagle or a BFR then you would be OK. Ammo was quite sparce in a couple LGS that have a large ammo area. Nothing rimfire in stock again! I swear we are our own worse enemies when someone panics.o_O

Glad to see you have some revolvers. That's more revolvers than a lot of shops carry when things are normal.

I'm old school and so I think there's a place in the world for wheelguns.
Pick it up, pull the trigger, bang. need to temporarily secure it from unauthorized fiddling? Put a padlock shackle behind the trigger, no bang.

Except that damn pin fire double barrel pistol that was in inventory when we bought this store.

That'll be here after I retire. Hope the boss's grandkids can sell it.

There was a guy at my LGS two weeks ago asking about the value of one of those he brought in.

I think pinfires are cool, but need to be priced very reasonably since you can’t shoot them anymore.

This. I had a few things on consignment in 40 that sat for the last 2 months. They all sold. I put a few more things in and they were gone in an hour.

That's pretty impressive. I sold some guns to my LGS three weeks ago. I bet they've already moved them on down the road, and probably for a little more than they expected.

Glad to support them.
 
Our lgs are still stoked, I think. the gov ordered all sporting goods stores closed as non essential.

Hey Swamprat, if I'm ever in FL we'll have to get together. I have 8 rounds of 9mm pinfire made by Eley.

Stole the pic of the bullets just to be able to show people what I've been telling them about pinfires.
This gun I wouldn't want to be around if someone fired it. It's more rickety than the steps up to our old bungalow on the Jersey shore.

A major true panic it's not.

My WW2 Mauser Hsc (.32 Auto) has been on consignment for about a year and a half. No offers, and has a small wood chip missing from a handgrip's rear corner..
Two other Hsc s are next to it.

Something as small and cool-looking as these (with market prices) might only sell--in this specific suburban store--during a True panic.

Most of their recent modern handguns either have not sold, or have been replaced.
