Rant on
I went to Sportsmans Warehouse today to pick up some .380 ammo along with other kinds and there was none there! No bulk, WWB, UMC, Indepence, nothing! Not even carry ammo of any kind. I flipped my lid. Then I went to D!ck's to get some. They only had UMC so I got a box of those. $18 flippin' for one 20rd box!

I've never heard of such. Everybody I talked to said they couldn't get any in. Yesterday I was at a LGS and they had ordered some and it didn't even show up. The world isn't going to stop turning but my world is really going to slow down if I don't get my ammo fix!
Rant off.
Thnx
Oh, you'll really hate this, then...
The WalMart locations in my area finally have .380 trickling in. I have heard of various locations getting a few boxes but they are sold out by the time I get there. Last night, I pulled a case of UMC hollow points off of a pallet, myself (spied them before anyone else did) and bought four boxes of them at $32 and some change per box of 100. Not gloating, just relieved that I finally saw .380 at Wally World for the first time since before Christmas.

It seems to be like that every where? :-(
But the 380 ammo seems to be worse than other calibers for some reason?
I still have about 900 rounds stashed, but I can't even find any on line anywhere???? >

Which in turn is keeping me away from the range so I don't use up my stash! >

.38 Special and .357 are just as scarce as .380 around here - even more scarce in some places in my area (bums me out because I love shooting my .38 and my .357.) 9mm availability is limited and was hard to find for a couple of weeks - although one local WalMart location has had at least some Blazer Brass 9mm on the shelves pretty steadily except for those couple of weeks. I have been buying a couple of boxes nearly every time I am there to build at least a small 'stash' of 9mm. After all, I have three 9mm mouths - er - chambers to feed.
I am with you on limiting practice/fun shooting. Aside from some limited .22 plinking (as .22 ammo has also been a little scarce - though supplies seem to be returning to normal), limited practice with my P11 has been just about it for wasting lead, for me, since before Christmas. Until getting those UMCs last night, my .380 'stash' has consisted of one mag full of Federal Hydra-Shoks and one mag full plus fifty UMC HPs. I'm going to have to limber the P3AT up at least a little this weekend before I forget how to properly run it! If things ever get back to being close to normal with ammo supplies, I'm building a real stash - not in preparation for zombie invasions or anything but just so I can still shoot some in case supplies get so limited again. Hopefully start reloading, eventually, too.
