I just started going to gun shows again after probably 7 or 8 years away...in general was surprised how the new handgun prices are generally in line with what you find at the local storefronts, and ammo was higher than the stores. Not at all like they used to be...always used to be able to pick up 500 or 1000 rounds of 9mm FMJ for plinking at significantly less than WWB prices. Man, sure sounds like I'm getting old...

Even worse than the gun prices were the ammo prices. For example, WWB FMJ 9mm for >$10/box, compared to ~$7 at Academy. Similar disparity on .45ACP...Couldn't find any less expensivve hand loads either...
