Who isn't buying a handgun because of ammo?

[BigAl23]

Been thinking of a .45 auto but with low or no availability of ammo, I haven't done it. Anyone else have this predicament?

 

[not new guy]

No. Buy the gun. You’ll find ammo.

Personally, i have thought to myself “man i wish i would have bought that gun” a lot more than “man i am glad i didn’t buy that gun.”

I vote: just buy the gun. I am sure you can track down a box or two of .45

Ive wanted a ruger 57 but ill hold off a year for the prices to go down. No way im paying 40+ for a box of ammo

If you don't mind shooting 230 gr lead round nose ammo, that can be had for about $16 per box shipped at the moment...

 

[ackar]

Nope never been in that pedicament- buy the gun! Need both gun and ammo to shoot, presently you have neither. Get going.

Ammo is “findable”, just keep searching. Buy the gun. Every house should have a 1911 just because.

 

[NavelOfficer]

Do you put off buying a car or groceries due to increased fuel/food prices? If it's just an extra or a frivolous purchase, I suppose you could do without.
You might find the handgun is bargain priced as no one is willing to feed it.
This crisis will pass, but no guarantee that we'll return to pre-covid prices.

I just watched 200 rounds of 147 FMJ 9mm sell for $186

93 cents per round!!!! Insanity

.45 isnt quite as unobtainium as 9mm is, if youre patient enough you can get enough boxes to run your gun.

 

[Knob Creek]

Buy the gun and start reloading.

 

[Rocky Mosasaurus]

Throwing another unit of Peer Pressure (pp) onto the heap! Buy the 45!

Lot of girls like guns, but those that love their 1911’s, something special about that bunch.

 

[Dadstoys]

Pull the trigger.
You're going to find ammo eventually.

Yes. No more guns for now, unless I come across a Sig P290.

 

[watchman]

What if you have the ammo but can't find the gun?

 

[greencobra]

i had a former work colleague call me yesterday all excited that he just got his ltc and was asking if i'd go with him to a shop to look at handguns. oh, mama! this is not the time to jump in. didn't tell him that but he'll find out on his own. anyone want to get rid of a .40 and ammo, send me 5 bucks for a raffle ticket and i'll let him pick a number. winner....he'll buy yours.

I've watched it start to finish three times and I love picking up stuff like that each time. Prez was the only police to ever fire a weapon in the entire series. Daniels is a mystery really, I've never understood why he's in the show, he played an equally mysterious "why was he there" role in Lost.

357 Sig is the new 45

 

[84ta406]

Just buy what you want now and if you need ammo .45 is probably the easiest caliber in the world to reload for. You're local to me, buy the components and we can bang out some ammo on my SDB in no time.

Shhh!!!! I've never seen .357SIG ammo so scarce before, luckily I'm well stocked up on it.

 

[one-eyed Jack]

It's worth it to buy it now. It will hurt more when you have to say: "I wish that I had". Jack.

Started typing a reply, but it turned into a rant, so I erased it all... lol simplest answer,, me.

 

[citoriguy]

or 3 or 6. or more

So true. I have several, but not nearly enough. The simple elegance of a well built 1911 just feels so good in my hands.

 

[50wt]

Ive sold a few toys in the last couple months and they were all in popular calibers...so things are selling. Whether or not they had ammo or reload....who knows?

Regardless of ammo, id pay a huge premium to get my hands on a new Baer 1911 right now.

Or two, or three...

I carry Glocks, I shoot Glocks in IDPA/USPSA - that's my platform of choice.
But - Tupperware.

I have 3 full size 1911's in .45, one in 9mm, and a couple baby 1911 styled guns in .380.
They're just mechanically neat and full of history.
