I have a bad feeling that won’t even make top ten weird stuff for 2021. Still very sobering though.
This is why I tell people that are actually holding off looking for a deal that will never come along to buy any kind of a gun. Ammo as well.
So, I went to the Academy in Terre Haute tonight and they had a single handgun in the display case -- a black and gray Ruger Wrangler. I asked the two guys behind the counter, "Is that literally the only handgun you have left in stock?"
Answer: Yep.
Weird is getting weirder, I guess.
LOL ... I'm not big single-action revolver guy and already have one in the safe.So how does it shoot?
The amount of $600 guns listed and advertised right now is awfully convenient.The most recent stimulus payment couldn't have been timed better to empty out the rest of anything gun shops had in stock.

My local shop still has 9mm in stock. Looks like it's up to $32 per box now, but if you have none, that first box is nearly priceless.I just can't figure out what they're feeding them.
I watched a guy buy what was pretty clearly his first pistol ever at RK a few weeks ago and he basically got laughed out of the store when he asked about boxes of 9 to go with it.
Are these guys thinking they're going to just go down the street and it will be different? Like, the store was out of milk today, but surely the gas station will have some...?
Good point.The most recent stimulus payment couldn't have been timed better to empty out the rest of anything gun shops had in stock.
This sounds like me right now (besides thinking I can just go down the street because I'm well aware its hard to find)I just can't figure out what they're feeding them.

TLDR version is that I just got into guns due to my FIL. My family never had guns nor "believed" in owning any.
Just starting out within the last 3 months is very difficult and honestly I'm that guy that just bought my first gun and am trying to stock up whatever I can find.
Sucks but its the situation I'm in.

Was paying $160 per 1k round case less than a year ago. $32 per $50 is 4 times higher$32 actually strikes me as not too bad in this market. That's only about double priced.
