Happy Shopping at LGSs Today

[markr6754]

Don’t know if they were saving anything just for me, but lately I take my wife with me to LGSs. Today, we scored 4 boxes of 380 target ammo, 2 boxes of 380 self defense ammo, 4 boxes of 9mm target ammo, and 2 bricks of CCI Small Pistol Magnum primers. The target ammo ran 38 cents a round, high, but manageable. The self defense was $1.03/rd, and the primers were $38.86/brick. I paid $32.99/brick for these same primers nearly 3 years ago. Yeah...shop your LGS, even if local is 40 miles a way. We managed a 126 mile circuit to grab all this. 3 LGSs, one had nothing for us.

Glad you found some. Lots of folks will be envious.

Wow I was extatic with one brick of primers, you had a banner day.

My LGS operated with a just-in-time, we can have what you want ready to pick up at the store next day or 2 days most, philosophy WRT most ammunition and all reloading components before the pandemic pandemonium so I doubt there's much there now. The owner kept a few boxes of popular handgun ammunition on shelves behind the counter targeted to customers interested in taking handgun classes typically first time gun owners, so I haven't gone there seeking ammunition or reloading components.

My happy treasure haul after making the rounds yesterday. Not a fan of high prices, but apparently picking stuff up for half of current online prices, and I don’t mind paying a bit more for primers without HazMat fees, which put me near this price anyway!

I've had the best luck at the LGS's as of late. Chain stores and online,,,, nope.

Couple local shops don't price gouge, but they are limiting quantities. One shop sells 100 primers, the other will sell 200. One shop won't sell ammo right now without a gun purchase.

I am hoping I put back enough that I can wait this latest speed bump out. We will see though! Around here at the various LGS it is hit or miss as far as ammo and componants.
