Sticker Shock

[mac12]

I went to a gun shop in Dyer County today to browse around. My brother-in-law had purchased a new pistol and needed some 380 ammo, so I asked the clerk if they had any 380. Yes he had a couple of boxes of 50 and I can't even tell you what brand it was as he was showing it to me. I saw the price and immediately said no thank you. Can you believe the price was $43+ for a box of 50?

yeh prices are unbelievable,I picked up a box of Speer/LE Gold Dot box of 50 230 GR GDHP for 39.99 and I think this is high,but its hard to find any kind of defense ammo in .45 Cal,so I bought them anyway,now I am kicking myself for not buying 2 of them,Midway has these for $25.00 for a box of 20,I think I got a good deal,but thats few and far between.

My brother-in-law finally found a box of 380's for $17+ for 50 rounds. He had looked in Memphis, Jackson, and about 20 websites. As you all know, nobody had any. Would you believe that he found the box in his local hardware store? Who would have thought it?

$17!? That's pretty good, I thought the box I got at Outpost Armory in Murfreesboro was decent, box of 50 HP for $50

I've actually tried a couple of small town hardware stores myself, though without success. My hope was that they really sold very little ammo, and that there might be some that had been sitting there for a long time.

our wholesale cost on the last 380 we got in... which was this week was $25 a box... now thats my cost on it... btw its all gone.

380 ammo has gone sky high. come to think of it most ammo has gone sky high.

Cool Springs Academy Sports yesterday had Monarch 9mm for $11.99 a box. I guess in the whole scheme of things it's not a bad price, but thinking that 6-9 months ago you could get it for $6.99, I guess, it's bad.

They're all out of 9mm, went by there today. I got their last two boxes of Monarch .45.

They do have several boxes of 38 Special WWB though if anyone's interested.
