But it seems like if anyone has any handgun ammo on a shelf, it's .38 Special or 9x18 Makarov

 

[AndyH]

.40 s&w seems to be fairly easy to find as well

 

[glockguy]

I can Go Get any ammo I want right now... Only problem is, that its From Gun shops that Are charging $22 For a box Of Blazer .40 that you can get at walmart for 12.47 if you just wait around for it.

 

[orygun]

I've also noticed that 500 S&W is not too hard to find, just hard to pay for!

 

[durango#95]

.32ACP, 9x18mm, .38sp, and 9mm are never a problem in my neck of the woods. Just no 9mm JHP to be found, but 9mm FMJ's are everywhere.

 

[toys]

9mm, 40, 45

 

[Dan-Dee Sales Inc]

9mm, 357mag, 40s&w

 

[NorthernBornRebel]

I need to find some local 5.45.....damn I wish someone was interested in trading.

 

[CEF1959]

The only thing I CAN"T find either in shops or with internet dealers is .380. Sometimes, yes. But mostly no. The rest I can find if I'm diligent.

 

[timbernet]

.38 and .32 are the most popular to see on the shelves... A good number of .44Mag, .357Mag, and .500.

Then comes .40, then 9mm.

.45 is starting to make a comeback...

And .380 is just invisible. Those that get it only get < 10 boxes and they sell out in minutes.

Those that get more in, charge 200&#37; more than it should be (yes Gun Broker, I am talking about you)

But things are improving... assuming nothing major pops up on the political front anytime soon I would expect ammo to be closer to normal by September... This isn't scientific, just seeing how supply is coming back from my weekly trips to multiple stores...

Give www.ammoengine.com a look and see if any choices there have what you're looking for in stock.

Why the hack is 380 so hard to find?

Check the Sandy and Damascus Bi-Mart on Wednesday and Friday... if you can, check around 11a-noon...

At least Bi-Mart has a steady schedule, Wal-Mart says "we get shipments every night" -- well, I really don't like Wal-Mart and the only reason I go there is for ammo, so I really don't want to have to check with them daily to see if they got in .380, etc...

i think i will try fridays,have that day off now that ive gone to 4 10,s,,thanks for the tip!!

Why the hack is 380 so hard to find?

I wonder this myself. All I can figure is that it used to be a low-volume caliber, but now Kahr (P3AT) and Luger (LCP) have pretty recent (and excellent) deep concealment pistols in that caliber, resulting in a resurgent interest in .380 as a solid defense round. With the run on other calibers, the manufacturers haven't bothered to retool to meet the .380 demand.

Just a guess.

I was at fishermans marine and outdoors in oregon city. They had 38 special, 40S&W, 9 makarov, 45 acp, 5.56, and probally some others, thought it was limited probally about 6 boxes of each. Decent prices, the 38 special was $18, and the 40S&W was $20 brass cased ammo.

380 is used for all the small concealed pistols like ruger lcp, walther ppk, and others. I imagine the ammo manufactures are making the more profitable ammos in larger calibers, but i dont. Lots of people today are getting there chl's and they like small concealable handguns.

I always seem to see .40
