    Each time I got to a Walmart, they have ammo - but not the kind I want. A Walmart clerk told me that the ammo leaves as fast as it comes it. Academy seems to have a better supply.

    The sporting goods manager at the Sherman Wal Mart told me that corporate dropped the ball when setting up their reorders from the manufactures. The other stores (Academy, Dicks, Gander Mountain etc) beat them to the punch and they are having a hard time finding any to sell. When supply catches up to demand all will be good again. It may be higher than before but they will have some.


    BTW: He told me that the Sherman store was the number three seller of guns and ammo in the nation. That shocked me for some reason.

    Well, if they're as bad about required documentation and NCIS checks selling firearms, it may be the Meth Lab proprietors coming in from the outskirts, just over the north border etc. keeping stocked up.

    In my M40-A1, I'm shooting 40 from Georgia Arms and American Eagle from Federal. Don't use any UMC, PMC, or Wolf in your Steyr - it tends to be picky about ammo.

    Do you work on the West side too? I occasionally punch paper at Memorial Oaks at lunch.

    I've been buying from the on at 529 and Hwy 6. The last time I went (about 3 weeks ago) their shelves were more empty than full. I too was told that it's flying off the shelf as soon as it gets in...

    went to the walmart @ hwy 6 and richmond and they had some ammo...but limited quantity. you definitely need to go early in the day to check what they have in stock!

    Hwy6@529 had about 10 to 15 boxes of .40 cal blazer brass. Not my first choice for self defense, but definitely good for practice. And for 12 bucks a box, not a bad deal. Grabbed a couple of boxes today. If there's any left on Friday I'll pick up 4 or 5 boxes. Matter of fact, since I'm taking Friday off I think the task of the day will be to go out and find a store with lot's of 9mm and 40.cal on the shelf. :D Wish me luck!

    Picked up 40 and 9mm this morning...called all the walmarts local to me @ 7am and went to the closest one.

    They had 2 boxes of 9mm and 3 boxes of 40. The guy ahead of me picked up all the 45 and 8 boxes of 40. I called another walmart to check stock and forgot to pick up the 10 boxes of 223 they had just put on the shelf as i was walking away...grrrr. When I remembered...did a u-turn and it was already gone...within 15 minutes.
