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... Gil |

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
