This is quite concerning for me.

This is why so many people choose 9mm, availability and affordability. Acadamy should still have plenty of .40 cal options at least for now.

went to academy last month they dont sell the self defense ammo i carry but they did have target ammo

Maybe it's time to rethink your choice of arms. For many people the costs of ammo often is larger than the costs of the costs of the gun itself. I own very few arms, and my choices have each had many hours of consideration. The ammo the eat and the sustainabilty is a large part of the decision process. Buying into the latest and greatest new fad for a weapon you want to keep you alive might be a mistake.

There’s plenty of online places to buy 40S&W at reasonable prices. I hardly ever buy ammo in retail stores anymore unless it’s a great deal or I have a I need it today situation.
