Hello from Clarksville

It's been several years since I bought and learned to shoot handguns and few years since I have shot them. Just recently my wife has been come interested in learning to shoot (perfect timing with ammo pricing). Funny thing, I went with 9mm thinking that it would be the easiest to find if there were ever any big problems but I guess popularity is bad because that is what everyone wants.

I have considered purchasing a .40 s&w because I have been able to find that in stock at reasonable prices. Is that a good idea or long term solutions, or is it best to just wait until prices on ammo come back to earth?

In any case this seems like a great place to hang out.

Welcome from Jeffersonville. Kentuckiana Gun Store has regular supplies of 9mm. Albeit the price eeks up as time goes on.

Welcome! 9mm is popular, and easy to shoot. I would go for the 9mm, it will be cheaper in the long run I believe.

Howdy! Should have gone with .30 Mauser...nobody seems to be looking for that. Well, maybe just Leadeye and me...

Welcome to the group!



While 9mm might be hard to come by at this time, and the .40S&W is available, I would not suggest it as a learning round. Too snappy for someone just learning how to handle a pistol. 9mm would be a much better choice.

Welcome from Hobart.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't plan to shoot often, so I should probably just stick to 9mm. It's just a bit frustrating at the moment ;-)

Thanks. I bought my Makarov there back when they were Keislers or Orion Arms. I saw their prices on facebook and was a bit put off. Do you know if Rural King gets any regular shipments?
