This is not intended to be a political thread about Obama.
![[Confused]](confused.gif) Where are you buying ammo? I cannot find anything I am looking for anywhere. I bought a Sig P238 couple weeks ago and have been looking for .380 ammo since. I found some self defense rounds, but no ball ammo for target practice. I have looked at local shops, internet, coworkers and friends; NO ONE HAS ANY ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
Someone give me some advice please!!!

I follow the calguns.net wal-mart ammo updates thread.
slickdeals.net (search ammo)
ammunitiontogo.com
of all the ammo shortages 380 is the hardest to find. I'm down to my last 100 rounds. I just bought two Ruger LCP's and been looking for 380 ammo for awhile now.

Survial tactical defense (something like that) in loomis had a 100rd pack of 380 WWB for $55 ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
That was Friday I'm sure they still have it for that ass raping price. gunbroker has some too similar prices.

Allen,
locally the cheapest will be Wal-mart IF it's in stock. River City Gun Exchange has lots of .223 I bought a few hundred rounds this weekend.
When did you get a rifle? let's go shooting! Joe and I went out on Sunday with our AR15's.

I'm gonna just drive to Nevada, stop by my cousins house and buy ammo out there.. I'm sick and tired of this fucking state making it harder on law abiding gun owners...
people are panicing with this ammo crap.. I don't have the money to stock up on ammo. I'm going to learn how to relode so I'll be alright. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

![[Frown]](frown.gif) No dice, they are sold out.
How does that LCP fire? I was looking at the LCP and the keltec before I bought my P238. All of these pocket pistols serve a practical purpose, but the ruger and keltec felt to much like a toy to me.
Have you seen the mini desert eagle? That thing is smaller than the keltec!!!

Both are a bit harsh on recoil but manageable, sights are literally useless. The Kel-Tec is cheaper than the LCP and the appearance kinda reflects that. But it comes with a lifetime warranty.
everyone is jumping on the 380 pocket gun sales trend. I may buy a Kahr's 380 once my buddy get's his in. I want to shoot it first.

Economy goes to shit, gun sales skyrocket, its actually a trend believe it or not. Also it doesn't help that Obama wants harsher gun laws. You think they would have found out by not its not the people that buy guns legally that kill people with them.

I noticed the sights would be an issue as well, that is why I picked up the P238 it is a clone of the Colt Mustang 1911. The gun is bigger than the LCP, but still fits perect in a front pocket without printing.

I ordered mine a week ago. Unfortunately, I have to wait about 4 - 6 months for my Stag Model 1. I will let you know when I get it. I might still get a hand gun in the meantime. I did buy a M4 Airsoft rifle that shoots 450 fps to keep me busy though. Looks like my real AR15.

How much was your stag upper? I got a huge hook up on DPMS products when my guys get the next order in I will let you know. He has at least 30 uppers coming in.

In the end reloading is cheaper I just buy in bulk from miwall. But just like ammo reload supplies are short in supply. I had to wait 6 months to get ammo for my 50 Beowulf.

I bought the whole gun for about 9 and some change before the fees. After all the fees it was just about 1000.

Reloading will not save you money!!!!!
TRUE!!!!
Joking of course. It saves you about 50%, but you end up shooting twice as much.
