Where you been? 9mm and .22 LR were among the first to go, not the last.
(And it's 9mm, not .9mm)

baz,
Yep, .22 and 9mm have been bought out most places for 5 months.

Late to the party....some 9mm is easing back into the market, but crazy priced.
I have seen plinking 9mm higher than .45ACP, 10mm, 357Sig, 357Mag, 44Mag, 38Special, .40S&W.....should I can continue? Who pays $40 for a box of 50 FMJ 9mm? Who does that??

So... what exactly does one shoot with .9mm? And, how would you even load powder in the case?

I don't mind. I hand load. I use about 5 grains of w231. It pushes a 1.15 grain bullet about 10,000 fps. Any crosswind though and there is no telling where that thing is going.

The .9mm JHP round offers reliable expansion to 1mm.

I just tried to order some .9 mm 1.15gr lswc from MBC and they emailed me to say it was going to take 260 years before my order will be shipped!

The .9mm cartridge is a close cousin of the .12 gauge shotgun shell.
Are you also using the 1.15 grain bullets or are you using the heavy weight 2 grain bullets in your .9mm (POINT 9mm) loads?
To get down to 1000 fps I have to use a 115 grain bullet in a 9mm.
Wow, you mean to tell me that your .9 only goes 10,000? If I turn mine sideways and thrust forward with each shot and use fused alloy bullets like on CSI: Miami, I can get mine to go 10,002. Now that's some knockdown power! I really like shooting those bullets out of my Glock 6 and a half (you know, the polyester ceramic automatic revolver with the super-deadly assault clips) and I be sure and watch every episode of "Criminal Minds" and "CSI:Miami" to learn how to shoot it better. Why, I learned on CSI that all guns have the same rifling...even on my .9!

It's such a pain to reload. You need a big bench magnifier and tweezers to handle the projectiles. The upside is that you polish the brass in lint, which is easy to get.
Just don't ever drop a box of projectiles or sneeze when reloading it. You'll never get them all picked up.

It's strange that they call it a .9 when the actual bullet diameter is .897527.
I think you mean .005 gr of w231. The case wont hold 5 grs.

Is .9mm bigger than 9 mil?
Well at least your great, great, great, great grandchildren will be able to have the ammo. I guess these days some things can't be rushed, like fine wine, good scotch...and 9mm ammo.I just tried to order some .9 mm 1.15gr lswc from MBC and they emailed me to say it was going to take 260 years before my order will be shipped!
