Seriously, now the gun companies just need to move from those states that passed gun restrictions. Such a silly argument.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Hope so..

I'd just like to be able to get 9mm range rounds again. Plus I have a short buy list once the market gets flooded again.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have a short list too

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone have a Springfield XDm Compact 3.8? I have my eye on this as my 2nd handgun in addition to my Shield rather than holding out for an XDs. No sense in having 2 guns with virtually mirror images of one another in terms of size/capacity I figure.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Oh-

And I found out a "trick" for actually being able to order 223 ammo from Cabelas and anything from Sportsmans Guide when going through the regular route will show out of stock and no ability to back order. :D

Me likey.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I was thinking today...can't find 9mm or .223 anywhere, but the range I go to has both in range ammo only. What's to stop me from buying time on the range, and a couple hundred rounds of each type of range ammo, firing off a few and just take the rest home with me?

How horrible is range ammo that it wouldn't suffice as backup to what I already have? I have a very small supply of defense ammo already, so the range ammo would just be extra.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

If they'll sell you that much at once, go for it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Be patient. The frenzy purchases will slow down and supply will catch up to demand as demand slows.

I've been seriously looking into getting an AK47, Zastava M70 or similar. They seem to be right around $1,000 at this point in time. Anyone know what a fair price for a new AK from the Zastava factory would be? I'm tempted to just buy one now, but if prices will be falling soon I can wait. I need to get a Glock 29sf too, cc will be on the books soon so that may be the next purchase.

Hey alljust bought my first firearm today at a pocal range. S&W m&p 9mm. I've shot it before did plenty of research then pulled the trigger :). Went out bougjt a handgun safe and cleaning kit to go with it as well. Super excited to take it to the range this week! It came with night sites and once I break it in I might do an apex trigger kit as well. If I can figure out how to upload pics from my phone I will.

Funny part is, I went to cabelas two meijers and two walmarts plus where I bought it from... turns out ammo is harder to find/buy then the gun haha. Everyones all ban this ban that no assault rifles or pistols! No need to ban something when you can't use it! My friend is hooking me up with some ammo but I found it kind of funny. Good shooting to everyone and stay safe!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Range ammo as in name brand ball ammo or re-loads? Ball ammo is fine for self defense if you do not have any dedicated defense ammo. Better that rocks :D. Although it does not expand, ball ammo still helps evacuate blood as quickly as possible :r.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Does anyone here use gunbroker for ammo? They seem to be the only place where you can get ammo

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

bass pro around here usually gets ammo on friday morning.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Around here, Wallyworld usually gets a delivery 2-3 times a week, but they never seem to have any on the shelves. Turns out one of the local shops sends thier guys out almost every morning at 6am to buy any up that happen to be on the shelves.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The times I have ordered from Gunbroker.com, I have done so from the two vendors, one of which I buy from directly on a regular basis.
Sportsman Supply is one and my regular go to outside of Gunbroker.com is SG Ammo.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yep. Same here. Some BS.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

If you're looking for just some cheap plinking ammo than it should be ok. Some ranges down load their ammo (if it's made in house) so it doesn't damage house rentals and saves on powder. If it's made in house maybe you can talk to the reloader about buying in bulk.
