Hello, it's been a while.. Learning to shoot again..

[Kristopher Kam]

Hello, It's been a wild 18 months...

Work is finally slowing down so I'm taking a 2nd run at learning to shoot.

Guys I work with are telling me to bring 9mm and 12g shells.

I don't want to sound like a complete moron to my friends but it's ok to sound clueless here

Where can I find ammo? I'm here in Vancouver.
I've been looking through the ads here but even with filters, it's full of old ads.

Looks like I just missed all the father's day sales?

Any advice is appreciated.

The ammo shortage hasn't slowed down much, and Mr. Biden has just made some irresponsible statements and dictates that may well make things worse. You can still order online. I use this site to find good prices:

gun-deals.com - User-Submitted Gun & Ammunition Deals

gun-deals.com - Unbiased Gun Deals

www.gun-deals.com

Then if I'm not familiar with a site with a good price I search for reviews for the website in question. If they have no reviews or haven't been around long I move on to the next cheapest.

You can also search Bing for ammo retailers near you: "ammunition near XXXXX" .

I'll check bing now, I've only ever bought ammo once at safefire in Dec 2019, the one and only time I've been shooting.

Sorry, just to muse a bit... I'm not 100% educated on the ins and outs of gun control. But it seems like 100% of the shootings are NOT being done by sane and law abiding citizen it's always some crazy bubblegum or criminal with an illegal gun.

How does it make any sense to target lawful owners with more regulations. That's like fighting forest fires at camp sites by requiring news homes to install industrial grade water sprinklers. Someone is benefiting, it's not gun owners . And it doesn't prevent the same crazy asses from going off their meds or criminals with illegal guns.

It's not even a scientific approach or mathematical approach to solving a problem. It's lazy. Cars are killing people... Let's do me the costs of tabs and add a few days of wait time! That will fix it right?
No research into what, where, why, how, then attacking those specific significant contributing factors?

It doesn't - at all.

Bi-Marts in Oregon are starting to have inventory again, and always at reasonable prices. Can't speak for the Vancouver stores but cross the river and save some sales tax! Recommend avoiding aluminum on that 9mm. Welcome back!

Two boxes of '06 ammo in the LaPine store today on the shelf. Handgun cabinet full however.

Bend and Prineville have been surprisingly reliable. I was over on the wet side last week and couldn't find a damn thing in Eugene, Cottage Grove, or Junction City however.

 

[Ura-Ki]

Zero ammo @ Bi-Mart in Salem, Zero @ Costal Farm and Ranch, Zero @ Sportsman's Wearhouse and Zero @ Cabelas!

I gotta run to Bend tomorrow so Ill check it out.

Lots of Chooter's in the LaPine area so that may keep it empty!

If anyone knows a legit site to buy from with fast shipping? Buddy is now telling me we are set for 12g but I need my own 9mm.

 

[Kristopher Kam]

I was going through that website and the 9mm sellers and the lots I'm clocking on just redirect me to some bare bones seller portal sites with a sketch vibe.

 

[Knobgoblin]

You ain't gonna get no 9mm. Unless you're willing to pay scalpers ransom prices.

It's like .22lr was back in Obama days.
