Mrs. Flash and I have been shooting in the same LGS/Indoor range every week for the last 7 years or so.

A couple of weeks ago Mrs. Flash asked the Manager about .22WMR and said that if they get any, she'd like some.

So when we went in today, the Manager pulled us aside, reached under the counter and pulled out 2 500 round packs of CCI .22 WMR. He said he wanted to keep one box of 50 rounds for his mother and sold Mrs. Flash the rest.

If we hadn't have been ragulars, it would have been for sale to the other customers, so it does pay at times to do all your business in one place.

My guess is you treated him right and it came back,Karma.

This is a fine example of why it's still important to shop for some things locally that you can buy online. Build a relationship with your local whatever shop, and when times are tough and things are thin, if you've been good to them, they'll be good to you.

That's something I hope will happen with the SIGforum 9mm Ammunition Group Buy by leveraging the forum's collective purchasing power with suppliers. Fingers crossed that the first 100,000 rounds get sold quickly!
