...when a friend buys his first gun ever (Glock 19), and must wait weeks or even months to shoot it, due to no 9mm ammo in town.
...when images of the depression-era "bread lines" from high school history books enter your head when glancing toward the ammo counter of your local sporting goods store.
...when you hold off on shooting for much longer than normal, due to fear you won't be able to replace the ammo you shoot.
...when you consider adding 9mm dies and components to your reloading bench, even though you vowed you could probably never load enough 9mm on a single stage press to recover the component costs.
