So I sent in my C&R application a couple weeks ago and they already debited my account so hopefully it will arrive somewhat soon. But in the mean time I've been looking the P64s, CZ-82s, and the various Tokarev pistols for my first couple C&R purchases.
So it seems like the cheap surplus ammo (9x18 and 7.62x25) for these guns has since dried up. I was at a couple shops in NH last week and they had 9x18 steel case ammo for $16 and brass cased 7.62x25 ammo for $25.
Looking online, cheapest 7.62x25 (which is all brass cased) was going for $20 per box shipped. The cheapest 9x18 ammo (steel cased) I found online, when it gets back in stock, was $13 per box shipped.
I'm new to these guns so I don't want to overpay for ammo. I'll probably buy a P64 or CZ-82 (if I can find one) since the ammo definitely seems to be cheaper for these guns than the Tokarevs.
