On one of my orders (Oct. 10 order), I ordered 9mm and .45 ACP in the same order. But OpticsPlanet has indicated two different shipping dates for them. So even though I didn't place two separate orders, they are shipping them that way anyway.

Those aren’t bad prices for either caliber given the shortages and prices elsewhere.Quote:

Happy to have them, but that's not really what I was looking for with this shipment.
I received an email from Sportsman’s Guide telling me they had American Eagle .223 available. By the time I saw the email it was gone. Price for 50 grain jacketed hollow point loads was $74.99 for 100 rounds or $19.99 for 20 rounds.
All five of my orders at OpticsPlanet are now listed as expected to be shipped on 3/18/2021. I don't expect them then, either.
No need to get your hopes up. I haven’t been in any of the local shops in a while, but if anything supplies are even tighter based on what I’ve been hearing.Quote:

You might need the rocks to maintain your safety.Quote:

Oh, I think we'll catch up eventually. It's just taking a lot longer than most of us wanna wait.
I received an email from PyramidAir today telling me to "save my ammo" and practice with their replicas. I tell you, it's tempting, even though it's not the same thing.

Would be a lot cheaper to buy one of these and begin practicing with their ammo than running a few hundred rounds through my handguns.
No Walther Creeds or Glock 36's for me, though...they did have the Walther CP99 Compact that looks like it would be fun to shoot, 18 shot BB magazine, and dirt cheap at $80...
I will add a decent air gun eventually

My buddy picked me up 3 boxes of 223 Red Army Standard for $.20 per round.
Now I won't feel bad about shooting my pumpkins.

I have a Crosman 2260 SE CO2 air rifle with a 6X32 scope and rings. It is very effective against small pests. It is single shot, however. I might toy around and get one of those pistols just for fun.Quote:

$4 per box of 20 is cheaper than I paid for Tula a few years ago, when there was no ammo buying spree.Quote:

All I can report are Empty shelves and sporting goods store takeovers. And not a Marlin lever action .357 in the state for sale.
I don’t know where Marlin is at in production at this point. Ruger bought them in the Remington firesale and I don’t know the status of the sale. I’m sure under Ruger the quality will get better than it was under Remington.Quote:

Ruger makes dang fine guns. Nothing too fancy, but very high quality. No doubt they will help Marlin.
As for Ammo I got a gunbroker email and clicked b/c I was curious. Can get all you want 9mm at about $0.80/round.
