We have been in OR, AZ, UT, ID over the past few weeks. Low in most places but wife said Northern ID was not too bad as for guns and ammo. Guns at Sportsman's seem to be about a 1/3 or less of normal and many handgun ammos shelves are bare or very low.
The big thing I noticed in Salem this week is reloading components are getting very low (surprised they stayed up as long as they did). Only a few tins of power (tins...quick, look at the old guy, ) and a few thousand primers.
Online through my normal vendor, practice ammo in main calibers is wiped out and when something appears it is gone quickly. Not a surprise. When it is there about $15 for 9mm compared to about $8 for the same brand 6 months ago. Saw some Winchester 223 for $340 / 1,000, gone quickly at $6.80 a box. In AZ you could not find 9mm at all. Bought some at the range in UT for $15 while renting their guns, no complaints in this season but limit 4 boxes.
Have a friend who works part time in a CA gun store. Asked him about their stock...they had one, 5-shot .38. Nothing else left.
