It's just a couple of personal observations, so may not hold 100%.

Sunday afternoon deals used to be very common. Now we joke about having a dealer's inventory almost memorized from show to show.

I watched a smaller dealer turn down an offer $10 less than his $200 price on a S&W model 10 copy. Then I took pleasure in seeing the same gun on his table at every show for more than 6 months. I assume he must have finally gotten his $200.

Wish i could have made it to the GRB show today, instead i went to the zoo with the family. While at the zoo i looked for 30.06 signs but didn't see any and i even had the wifey looking as well. I would go to the sunday show tommorow but i am stuck at home with the kids while she is gone to A&M for SAR practice, besides I'm gun poor right now any ways lol.

I saw a bunch of Federal 9 and 40 at Walmart this week. 9 was under $10 and 40 was under $14 for a box of 50. Cheaper than Monarch at Academy.

Saw a buch of .40 at local walmarts , they told me that they had 9mm but it goes fast

I will never shop there for ammunition again. I was allowed to walk unaccompanied through the store to the checkout, then I was asked for Id (presumably to check for my DOB. Then I was asked to sign for the ammunition! Last time I bought some shotgun slug there (admittedly a couple of months ago) I didn't have to show or sign anything.

Is this a new 'rule'? If it is....I don't like it, not one little bit.

I stopped at Target in Kemah this weekend to grab some supplies, including a 6 pack of Ziegen Bock, the cashier asked to see my drivers license, I haven’t been carded in years but thought what the heck, I handed it to her and she started to “swipe” it. I said “whoa lady, what are you doing?”. She said it was policy and tried to swipe it, I grabbed it from her and told her to keep the beer, I don’t need big brother knowing what I buy. George Orwell was right, but off by a couple of decades.

On the ammo front, GRB had lots, I grabbed a case (2,000 rds) of 5.7 for $650, after I bought it the lady said her supplier told her it was going up $400 a case. I guess the fear is the goverment will ban it. I just like shooting the PS90 and needed it.

Guess what I snagged today?

2 x 100 rounds of WWB .....wait for this...... .380 ammo at Kemah Wally World.

$34 per box but still half the price of the stuff I saw at the Pasadena Gun Show.

Wow! Quick! Take a picture of it before it disappears! Congrats.

Wow good score!


What time did you go in there and find it on the shelf?

Yep.

It was in the case. The guy at the desk said "I have got some ammo for you!" ..... I go in there quite a lot as it is on my way to work.

Apparently they got 4 100 round boxes this morning. The 2 I got were the last ones and that was at 1pm this afternoon.

I can't begin to tell you how many times I have been in there and come out empty handed.

They had .45 JHP lots of .40 SW and a few Federal 9mm.

Man it sounds like they got the load of the month. I wish i coulda made it by there, 9mm is hard to find at WW and .45 has been non existent!

I got some 45 and some 9 at Wally World on 646 and I-45 on Friday so my search is over for a while.

You may want to try T's in Texas City, he had 45 last week.

Anyone still need .380? Been noticing last few days on Cabelas web site a link to "bulk .380" for sale ...

Found some .380 at B&S Guns in Garland, but did not buy it because it was just no name wadcutters and it was $39.99 per 50. The old guy at the local Walmart says they get WWB in .380 about once every two weeks, but usually the shipment is only 1 case and it is gone by noon. They did have some 9mm in WWB for $13.99 but I've got probably 1000 rounds right now so I didn't buy any more.

I wish it weren't steel-cased. A good find though. I'm going to have to think about this one for a few days. I bought my future FIL a Bersa Thunder .380 for Christmas and need to run a few hundred rounds through it first to check its reliability. Ammo is non-existant these days, so I may have to go with this to get it ready by Christmas.

Thanks for the tip!

Good luck finding a place to shoot the steel cased. The ranges here in Houston I go to will only accept brass.
