This is the reason I will no longer buy ANYTHING from these pirates. Wait until this nonsense ends, and people are swimming in ammunition. Bill T.

In the last few weeks I've purchased over 2,000 rounds of 9 MM from Wal-Mart for $8.97 @ box. Name brand Federal no less. These rip off artists are charging over 5 times that for off brand .380! I hope people take note of this and remember when things get back to normal in a short time. Bill T.

bilit,
So, DID you pay $49.97 for that box of .380 ammo. Maybe you need to get your .380 ammo where you get your 9mm ammo. Why did you buy so much FMJ 9mm ammo? It was not worth what you paid when you consider how useless it is. Please do not tell us it is you primary home defense ammo.

Bll T. once again I hear you knocking! Yep, I got rid of all our .380-autos when the blessed ammo started skyrocketing out of sight. We replaced them with the 9mm Luger calibers in GLOCKS & Sigs.
I had a guy want to charge me 38 dollars for a small box of self-defense ammo. I told him to shove it up his rectum plainly put.
I still have a problem in getting 10mm ammo but I will just load my own for those Glock 20 & 29 models. We have a whole friggin vault half full with factory ammo, 3000 rds of .308 cal., 3000 rds of .223 cal., 4000 rds of 45acp ammo, 3000 rds of 9mm Luger and 2500 rds of 40 Smith & Wesson. Most of it FMJ ammo. :)

I don't, (won't), own a .380. Bill T.

I've got pretty much the same. We're constantly turning it over because we shoot so much except in the really hot Summer months. I've been on a real Glock kick lately. We now have six of them. 3 in .45 ACP, a 21, a 21-C (compensated), and a 30. In 9 MM it's the 17, a 19, and a 26.
I made out some months back and bought a slew of factory new, Glock Hi-Cap mags when Natchez had them on sale for 10 or more for $13.99 each. Now I never see them under $20.00+ a pop. Some places as high as $30.00. I load for both the 9 MM and .45 ACP as well. It is still cheaper to buy the FMJ stuff the first time around, then save the brass. I can't buy the components and handload it as cheap as I can get it from Wal-Mart. Especially now with powder being harder to get than a date with Pamela Anderson! Bill T.

billt,
Ok, I can see buying FMJ ammo for the cases.

Badger,......Yep, the only frigging way to get that 10mm brass nowdays around me or you can order a case or 500 rounds from DT and pay $375 plus shipping a case. NO WAY!
Bill T.................I just ordered several clips from Lenny McGills for the Glock 29, 10mm. I am going to lengthen the grip and use longer magazines etc. I hope it works out to my satisfaction.
I also just ordered a new Dillion XL 650 for loading up the empty brass! The RCBS is just Tooo Sloooooow. I have already spent enough money on various ammo to purchase two of them.
looking at another Glock on Monday......who knows, might add one more to the safe.:D

Hi Ball,
I bought some grip sleeves from MaGill's so I can use Glock 21 mags in my Glock 30. They work really nice, and give me someplace to put my last 2 fingers. Plus it gives me another 3 rounds of .45 ACP. They have them for most all of the Glock models. I'm going to get a few to adapt the Hi-Cap 9 MM magazines to my double stack, Mini Glock 26. If they don't have them in stock, don't sweat it. MaGill's will ship usually in a week or so. They are good to deal with. Bill T.

Ammo prices are all over the place. It pays to shop around. All the best...

Gil Martin it actually pays to RELOAD your own! Now that is if you have the frigging Brass & Primers to do so. I finally got all my components and can't wait for that XL-650 press to come to the house.
