    Saw someone asking $500 for a case of 1000 fmj 115gr 9mm....

    Checked gun.deals and lowest price I saw for non-reloads was $.40/round

    I have no need right now, but is 9mm sold out everywhere? What? Why? Lol

    Where have you been sir. This has been ongoing since the shut down and .40 a round is cheap compared to some places I have looked. More like 45 cents a round.

    No knock Amigo but this aint old news

    And both 40 and 45 are cheaper than 9.... if you can find it!

    Glad I'm stocked up, but I see this getting worse before it gets better. Every time I see a vendor get more stock - the price is a bit higher and their still selling out just as fast. 223/556 is running $0.55/rd.

    To think I was called borderline gouging for listing some 9mm at $0.35/rd.

    First it was disease, food shortages, and industrial shutdowns.

    Then riots, looting, and arson and the media trying to start a race war.

    Upcoming critical election.

    People want security and are willing to pay for it. Self defense guns and any ammo for them are now in short supply. Prices have increased accordingly.

    If Biden wins, expect new draconian gun control within the first 100 days. If Trump wins, expect riots, looting, arson, and violence for months after the election. Either way, things are not looking good for the average productive citizen and that drives demand for firearms, ammunition, and accessories.

    No wonder my friend was really happy when I gave him a couple of 50-round boxes of Federal HST. It’s probably more than $1 a pop these days, if it’s available.

    I offered up 9mm at $0.30 rnd. this weekend thinking that was fair and the prospective buyer who'd just bought a gun from a store with no 9mm ammo in stock passed; suspect he expected to pay no more for it than I did 10 years ago. :dunno:

    Yeah, I guess we’ll see if this improves or gets worse. I expect deploying army guys to detain citizens doesn’t bode well.

    I bought some today at Rural King for $0.25/round. Happened to be there as they were restocking. It was PPU. First time I've bought that brand so I'm not sure what it usually sells for.
