Adopted into the INGO family. "No Orphan Left Behind." I'm glad those Illinois bastards didn't get it...Yeah, about that Wrangler ... I went back and got it.

I guess I did. That's a new first for me. :OSo you single handed wiped them out of inventory...
Old man at Plainfield Shooting Supplies shop said if you want it and we have it, buy it. Don’t ask questions, don’t bicker about the price. It will be gone in less than a day. My wife laughed until I took home an SAS 365. I’ve always wanted one..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.
Nice pickup Mark, those are sharp pistols. Now if you can find some cheap .22 you can do a lot of shooting!This is the version I just bought.

Better late than never and hope you can expand your collection, but do so wisely. Add some visits to your Local Gun Stores in your weekly rounds and you'll never know what deals may pop up. But, be prepared to buy when you see them because if you walk away it will be gone. Keep an eye on out INGO classifieds also, there are always a few gems that show up.This sounds like me right now (besides thinking I can just go down the street because I'm well aware its hard to find)
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.
I'm fairly good on .22lr.Nice pickup Mark, those are sharp pistols. Now if you can find some cheap .22 you can do a lot of shooting!
To be fair, that's how Bob at PSS has done business for a long time anyway. The supply/demand has changed, but I'm pretty sure I've heard Bob say that for the last decade or more.Old man at Plainfield Shooting Supplies shop said if you want it and we have it, buy it.

I've almost bought one on multiple occasions. They seem like a great time to shoot.Yeah, about that Wrangler ... I went back and got it.
In his store he is right. His prices are always among or lower than the best and his inventory moves through there PDQ.To be fair, that's how Bob at PSS has done business for a long time anyway. The supply/demand has changed, but I'm pretty sure I've heard Bob say that for the last decade or more.
Agreed, and he doesn't like to keep up with waiting lists as he knows when it comes in, he'll sell it anyway without having to make any phone calls.In his store he is right. His prices are always among or lower than the best and his inventory moves through there PDQ.
I agree this one may be multi-year.One of my son's and I have been collecting firearms and ammo for 25 -30 years. I don't recall seeing any "ammo shortage" like this before. Yeah there were shortages of rim-fire, occasionally shortages of certain calibers, but nothing like today with all the new gun owners, and the latest election results.
I have a feeling this one could last more than a year. Son and I aren't in the market for anything right now. ...
Last year I bought one of those full auto DPMS CO2 BB guns. I have tons of CO2 cartridges and BB's and they are a blast to shoot. Mainly bought it because I can actually shoot it outside at my house in city limits, but seems it's a lot more practical now to subsidize range time.I suggest taking up air rifle, and I will likely join you. At least for me, the previous .22 shortage went on the longest of any caliber. I couldn't find a round of it to be sold in a normal store for 3 solid years, but I could buy .45, 9, 5.56, etc. It was about a month before election 2016 that I was finally able to find some at a Dunham's in a much smaller area, and there was still a 2 box limit. By 2018, things had finally returned to normal. That was about 6 years of having to chase after 22.
