    How are you liking it?
    I like it a lot over my old LCP, but have not had the opportunity to get out to the land to shoot it.
    i did order three extra 12 round mags from Impact Guns since only one 10 rounder came with it.
    Big bonus are the real dovetailed sights - a tritium on the front.
    It seems to be nicely made.
    Hope it is as reliable as the standard LCP I’ve been totin’ for 13 years.
    It’s a mouse gun on steroids.

    Was at the store in Keller, TX, lots of .22LR, 5.56 and 7.62 FMJ. I picked up the last two boxes of .38 Spl ball that was on the shelf. No 6.5 CM, .270, .243 or 30-06. Some 12 ga 00 buck, but no other shot sizes.

    Store on HWY 6 in Houston had 8 boxes of .30-30 when I was there on Friday. Also a section of .357 sig which is surprising to me. Plenty of .38 spec but no .357 mag. I didn’t pay too much attention to rifle ammo, but I did see zero .762x39. Lots and lots of .223 in any size box you want. Also several boxes of 5.56. I dont remember the count but it was around 100 or 120 count or somewhere along those lines. Also saw they had 9mm in 124 grain. Hadn’t seen that in a long time. It’s only been available in the 115 grain up until now.

    How’s the pricing for in-stock ammo?

    Eh. Lower than it has been online. Higher than in store but it’s more available. I paid about $36 for 100 rounds of 9mm. Higher than I’d like but doable for me.

    I'm starting to only buy ammo when I visit my parents. The location by them sells 50 rd boxes of 9mm for $17.99 while in the Houston area it goes for $21.99 per box.


    I got 4 boxes of Monarch steel case for $17.99 / box in Tomball on Friday.

    I do wanna point out - the Monarch stuff is laquer coated. That surprised the crap out of me. Even Wolf switched to polymer coating about 20 years ago or so. The guns it got shot thru this weekend get a good chamber scrubbing.

    I've seen Federal .308 soft point at both the Walmart and Academy in Lufkin. Walmart even had some .300 Magnum (not sure since I'm not familiar with the cartridge) on their shelf.
    Academy here routinely has .223 and 9mm. Occasionally you will see .380. I have yet to see .38, .357, or 30-30.

    My Savage 110 in .270 loves the Hornady Outfitter (130 grain GMX). Hadn’t seen it in stock in months. Stopped by Academy to pick up some World Series shirts for the kids. Pickings were slim on the shirts, so I ran back to the ammo section. A whole stack of Hornady Outfitter in .270. It was $40 a box, but bought some anyway.

    Gunz are icky.
    Local store had plenty of 9mm, .40,.45, 223/5.56, .308 and 22LR today. A few other calibers like 300BO, 350Legend, 12ga bird shot.
    Limit is 4 boxes total.
    The .22LR is going for ~0.12cents per round for CCI mini-mags and Winchester. The Remington Golden Bullet a tad less.
    The glass cases were full of handguns but the long gun rack looked kinda sparse. Looked to be mostly Fudd shotguns.

    Yep!! The cheapest .270 they had was the Remington Core Lokt and the Federal Power Shok, and it was $27 a box.

    The Academy in Tomball isn't even putting price stickers out for most of the ammo. I guess its a "if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it" deal.

    Monarch lacquer coated steel case 115 grain 9mm is $17.99 a box. Monarch brass case .223 is $12.99 a box. I haven't seen any top shelf stuff in a while, but I can only imagine that quality JHP 9mm is $1 a round or more. The 1000 round cases of 5.56mm they have are $750 each.

    Local Walmart had some 22lr (first I’ve seen since it opened 5 years ago. Had some 22 mag as well. Only center fire was a few boxes of 243. Maybe a couple dozen boxes of 12 gauge.
    Glad I stocked up on reloading supplies when they were available!

    Mine tends to get the Federal Automatch in and prices are still reasonable. ($19/ 333 or so).

    The other day they had Winchester for $40/ 333 or so. Ouch.
