I went to Bi Mart, Sportsmen's, and Big 5 - no 9mm and they all say the same thing. The shipments are bought out within 30 minutes of arrival. Due to street violence and people thinking Biden will be elected. Is everyone here seeing the same thing? How about online?
guy I work with ordered some online months ago from sportsmans guide and they were on backorder. Said they would be available in October. Got an email a few weeks ago they are now looking at January. They are just regular target 9mm rounds

The only stock I see online is regular FMJ 124s for $1.50/rnd. Kind of absurd.

I'm surprised you are just now noticing, this has been an issue for a while.
I hadn't noticed because I had 2K+ stored. But, I've been upping my game at the range and going through a good chunk. I just want to keep up with usage if I can.

If you can wait, I would. You'll pay a premium on the ammo right now, it's bound to level off at some point.

I had to stop watching YouTube, it kept trying to suggest I watch every Tom, Dick and Harry's "ammo haul" where they show how many cases they bought in a 400 mile Walmart loop.
Crazy stuff. I'm glad I don't shoot IDPA anymore, it would drive me nuts. Luckily I have enough for what I need and want to do for the foreseeable future.

Now to see if the product ships!
Keep checking SGammo, They get some now and again, along with other rounds. And then it is gone soon after. Just trying to find some decent 30-06 takes longer than an act of Congress.

If you didn't stock up when you had the chance you will not beable to stock up for some time to come.
Ammp is at a premium right now. You can't buy what is not available. Wait until tomorrow after Trump wins, the libs will be rioting again all across the country.

Fortunately, I've always ratholed ammo away. But I don't see this shortage going away for a long time.
There is a reason i am loading the 5 gallon bucket of spent cases from the shop. Used to save it to sell to the reloaders...now I am reloading for my own shooting and some for shop test shooting of repaired guns.

I saw plento of 30-06 at sportsmans spokane when i was there about a month or so ago. Also manbun, 243, 7mag, 7mm-08, 270 etc etc. Zero 308 or 223, and the only handgun ammo they had was a few boxes of 32auto.

Buy cheap and stack deep is the motto I live by. I was getting cases of 9mm shipped right around $165 a year or two ago. I guess I took advantage, 7k rounds hopefully should last while the ammo shortage plays outYa when you can buy for damned near the price of reloading how can you go wrong? I kept sharing with everyone the 35c a round buckshot off Midway USA... everyone asked why would you need 250 rounds?

They sure are making good profits off of the shortage. When I ordered last month, That same case of 500 9mm was 199.99. I'm glad I ordered.
I hit the piggy bank back in late February, when people were hoarding TP. I am laughing at prices today. But I wanted to let people who are behind the curve know anyway.

Obviously people don’t realize the agenda of the new administration. Buckle up.
It's the same agenda that Obama and Clinton had and clearly ammo did not go away. Will they fight to tax it, take away "Assault Rifles", high capacity mags, etc., etc. etc.....YES. But will ammo and guns go away.....NO. I'm not for giving up any of my 2A rights but I am not in fear of ammo never coming back. Seven million new gun owners....they all bought ammo for their new guns. This is the majority of the reason ammo is in shortage. Then of course you have people who are panicked and buying ammo by the truck load, but I believe those are fewer than not. Manufacturing can't keep up with demand. When demand slows, which it always does, ammo will show up on the shelves again.

I disagree to an extent. Will ammo manufacturers catch up to demand?- sure. But the left learns from past defeats. Look at California. Laws are enacted to make background checks for ammunition. Limits on the amounts you can buy will be imposed. The online sale can be attacked.
They don't have to go after guns, and can avoid 2nd amendment fights. There is no constitutional protections against the ammunition. That is where they will attack. And you can bet ol' Bobby Sue here in Washington will exhaust every avenue he can to prevent legal law abiding individuals from exercising their right to enjoy firearms.

I think the supreme court would say that 2A rights also protect ammo by default. If ammo was the solution to their banning firearms, it would be gone by now. It would be like saying, take away "all firing pins" and make all firearms useless....if it was that easy, we wouldn't have guns. The United States of America is not giving up our guns or ammo, 7 million first time gun owners proves that.

Effective July 1, 2019, persons seeking to purchase or transfer ammunition will have to undergo an eligibility check, and be approved by the Department, prior to the sale or transfer, except as otherwise specified.

I think the supreme court would say that 2A rights also protect ammo by default. If ammo was the solution to their banning firearms, it would be gone by now. It would be like saying, take away "all firing pins" and make all firearms useless....if it was that easy, we wouldn't have guns. The United States of America is not giving up our guns or ammo, 7 million first time gun owners proves that.
Will they try....YES....will they win....some times. Will their always be opposition....YES and at the end of the day, ammo will come back to the shelves as it has the last 3 times this happened.
Anyone want to bet a brick of primers that I'm wrong?? :dunno: :dunno:
Let me enlighten you just a little:
New gun controls taking effect July 1, 2019, will require citizens of California to pass a background check every time they buy a box of ammunition.

Effective July 1, 2019, persons seeking to purchase or transfer ammunition will have to undergo an eligibility check, and be approved by the Department, prior to the sale or transfer, except as otherwise specified.

Court Reinstates California Ammunition Purchase Law

Trust me...I follow all the same things you posted and more. I am not debating they will not continue to fight and pass unconstitutional laws. This does not change the fact that ammo "WILL" show back up on the shelves. You will be able to buy ammo again. You may have to go through a background check (I think this is ridiculous) but you will be able to purchase it.
Again....I am not blind to the fact that the fight continues as it pertains to destroying our constitutional rights. I just believe that this ammo shortage is a direct correlation to a couple things (that we have seen before) 1. New firearm owners 2. Election year 3. The pandemic (riots, defund police, etc)
It will be back. If I'm wrong, I will eat crow....but to panic like people are doing is silly.

And added to those reasons, some don't realize the fact that firearm and ammunition manufacturers are also, due to covid restrictions, running at less then capacity. As covid goes away, so will a large part of the shortages.Obviously people don’t realize the agenda of the new administration. Buckle up.
It's the same agenda that Obama and Clinton had and clearly ammo did not go away. Will they fight to tax it, take away "Assault Rifles", high capacity mags, etc., etc. etc.....YES. But will ammo and guns go away.....NO. I'm not for giving up any of my 2A rights but I am not in fear of ammo never coming back. Seven million new gun owners....they all bought ammo for their new guns. This is the majority of the reason ammo is in shortage. Then of course you have people who are panicked and buying ammo by the truck load, but I believe those are fewer than not. Manufacturing can't keep up with demand. When demand slows, which it always does, ammo will show up on the shelves again.

But you may never be able to buy cheap ammo again though. It depends how quickly this administration can do the things they want. All online sales of ammo will be banned. You’re also looking at background checks and purchase limits. They’ve been trying to ban lead ammunition for ages. Might try that again now too. You’ll be priced out of using firearms. The trends in this state are to limit your ability to discharge firearms on public land as well. They designate something a hiking zone or the like and close it to shooting.
