Happens every time.

I just got my XD45 compact. Nice peice.

Next I have to go renew my CCL a year early to get the lifetime permit.

BTW - Has anyone noticed the price of ammo these days? I just about keeled over yesterday when I saw the price of .38 target ammo. $50/50 rounds. It’s $1/round. .357 was off the chart too. .45ACP - High but not as bad.

Try AmmoMan.com. My guess is the Russians will be our friends and will rearm us. The Wolf ammo is still pretty cheap.

Buy plenty of ammo. The guns sales may be restricted first. but they will attempt to outlaw sales and possession of banned ammo for banned guns. Reloaders and brass are going through the roof also.

I picked up an XD 40 to compliment my .44mag, and I have to say I love the XD. Great weapon, virtually no recoil, very accurate out of the box @ 25 yds, and best of all, it’s so easy to field strip and fully clean.

That’s nothin! Forty years ago I aquired an origional 1873 Winchester rifle in 38/40. After looking in dozens of shops I finally found a box of cartriges that cost me (at that time) $20.00 for a box of fifty. That would be the equivalent of over one hundred dollars today. The rifle split every shell case as it was chambered so poorly.

Roll your own. Components will probably rise in price too but not as fast. I'm stocking up in case I ever decide to buy a gun :)

Where the hell do you live? Is that top end defensive rounds like Cor-Bon or Win. white box or UMC?
