OK, I'm going to declare the ammo shortage over (in my area).
The last several times I've been to Academy, the shelves are stuffed with every caliber.
They even have a surplus of WWB 100 count .380

Also, I've noticed a full selection of guns lately.

Yeah, those are pretty good, I've shot them before.
Never hurts to have some extra JHP's stored away...especially for that price.

I've been seeing a lot of Remington .380 FMJ for $17.95 lately.
It seems that everywhere I go has some in stock.

Also, a nice variety of .380 JHP has seemed to emerge onto the market.

Funny thing is I haven't been buying any because I was snapping it up on the rare
occasions I saw it during the drought.

BREAKING NEWS !!

I went to Walmart in Tomball Last night (Friday 2300) and saw
something strange in the ammo case.

It looked like some .380. I rubbed my eyes and took a closer look
and sure nuff it was Remington .380 for $17.95 per 50.

I've seen it in other stores lately but not in a Walmart for over a year.

Interesting how this thread has slowed down ever since ammo has been easier to find lately.

Today I went to 3 different Academy stores and they all had
the elusive .380 in stock along with all the other calibers as well.
Also saw it at Carters Country on I-10 and Spectre Firearms in Tomball.

It felt strange not buying any since I'm already stocked up on it.

Went to Gander Mountain on 290 @ FM1960 and saw a nice variety
of SD ammo including Speer Gold Dots and Corbon.

I don't have much experience with these particular rounds but these days I'll take what I can find when it comes to self defense type ammo.

It's good stuff. So are Remington Golden Sabers.
If I had my choice I would pick Hornady Critical Defense, which coincidentally I've seen a lot of at Academy lately.

They had plenty of most every caliber.

I know what that means...no .380

Off Topic

IMO..If you do decide to get one or the other, go with the LCP for pocket carry.
There's nothing wrong with the Bersa but the LCP is way easier to carry and conceal in a pocket.

I just bought 4 boxes of .380 at academy yesterday ar $16.99 a box and I thought they had just raised their prices. Sure enough I just looked and they are JHP! Not sure if I would carry those rounds though...

Same thing happened to me.
I didn't notice they were JHP's until I got home.
They still work pretty good for target shooting though.

As of 14:30 today Academy in Houston...290 @ 34th st.
had 4 boxes of Remington Shur-Shot .380 95 gr for $36 for a box of 100.

They only had 2 after I left.

Walmart in Tomball ..249 @ Spring Cypress had everything in stock except the elusive .380

It's nice to be able to walk in and just pick up what you need.

Got me some Remington.38 special for $16.97 per box
and Federal .40 for $13.97 per box.

and milk.

Speaking of .45...

Walmart in Tomball has a whole bunch of Federal Premium 230grain FMJ .45 for about $17.00 for 50
Also, There must be 100 boxes of .40 and tons of 9mm

As a side note, I went to Academy for some .380 and they were out but the guy said they have been getting
regular shipments but it just sells very quickly.

Overall, I think things are looking up for the most part.

I live in the DFW area and have not seen .45 in a Wally World in quite some time. I hear rumors of it surfacing here and there but never in large enough quantities to get there in time. I am beginning to think there is no .45. It is like the big foot sightings. Folks claim they see it, but never seem to have proof.

I just saw a bunch of WWB .45 100 round value packs at Academy.
The other day my Walmart had several boxes of Federal Premium .45...it was gone the next day.

Walmart..Spring Cypress @ 249 ..Tomball ..17:00

Federal Premium .45 230gr...50 round box $19.97 (about 30 boxes)

Federal Premium .40 185gr...50 round box $13.97 (about 30 boxes)

Lots of 9mm in various brands including Federal Premium 50 round box $9.97
