Not sure where you are looking, but I've seen 3000+ rounds each from more than one manufacturer on the shelf at Academy (a week ago, and again today) and Cabela's (a few weeks ago). The Academy FMJ stuff was $17/50, which ain't bad, in my book, for something so scarce for so long. It wasn't too much more at Cabela's, either.

Academy near me has actually removed the sticker where they are suppose to put the .380. I asked and the person said they don't have any idea when they may see some. He said the last time he got some in they sent one box. I have seen it at gun shows for $32 for fifty. I would faint if I ever saw it at Walmart. Bass Pro shop at Katy Mills has plenty but its all self defense type stuff. Collectors Firearms sold me two boxes $32 for 50 when I bought the gun, that's all I could buy. Two weeks later, they would not sell me more.

I'll try Cabela's. I start worrying when I get down to four boxes. I panic when I am down to one box.

.380 is a nice round for a really small gun as it really does not recoil much. Its just so much easier to find 9mm.

So when they sell you this gun, do they actually have bullets to sell you that go with it?
What do you do when those bullets run out? or do you just never practice with it?
