Visited a gun shop today
 
This is a large gun shop and I saw a good selection of primers and powder. Bullets were limited in both quantity and selection. There was a good supply of shotgun ammo (even 16 gauge) and centerfire handgun and rifle ammo. They have a three box limit on factory ammo purchases. The did not have any .22 l.r. or mag. ammo. Prices were up about ten to twenty percent from last year. They have a lot of things on order with no delivery dates from their distributors. There were a lot of empty shelves.

There was a large assortment of new firearms especially Model 1911 handguns from Springfield, Colt and Kimber at extremely high prices. There were quite a few new S&W models again at high prices. The staff said they are having quite a few backorders on all firearms. The used gun rack was a disaster with very few items and all were quite expensive. I guess that is the way things will be for some time to come. What are you folks seeing in your area? All the best...

This area
 
Pretty much as you say. Some handguns available.. Much in the AR line.. but ammo is short. Powder too. The gal that I do a little trading with got her order of powder. She got less than 30% of what she ordered. No Alliant at all. None of the neat CFE powders from Hodgdon. Luckily I have a couple or 3 pounds of it. Works really well in certain calibers. All ammo is in short supply. 22s are sporadic to say the least
