Lazy day yesterday so I made a trip to my LGS. I haven't been there in a while even though it's right down the road in my township. The owner retired and passed it to his daughter who I went to high school with.

A whole bunch of pistols in stock including 2 CZ Shadow 2's and a Dan Wesson 1911. I can't remember the model but it was super smooth as all Dan Wessons are. Big selection of Glocks in gray, black and FDE. S&W, Springfield and more nicely stocked.

Next was the rifle and shotgun racks. Also pretty well stocked. No Colt ARs but a good selection of other brands. Shotguns were mainly Mossberg. Still hoping I run into a Beretta 1301 Tactical someday but I'd be better off just ordering one I think.

Ammunition was decent in all calibers and prices weren't bad. Self defense loads were a little thin but still good. Pretty sure when regular target loads were thin, self defense sold more.

Used guns were thin but it's never been a huge seller at this place. They don't take in many used guns and it shows.

I did end up buying a few things but no guns. They had cases of 5.56 so I grabbed one. A few boxes of 00 buckshot and 10 Pmags rounded out my shopping. I'd say a good day.

Kentucky Gun Company opened up a new location in Louisville (original location is in Bardstown, KY). I’m in the next county over, about a fifteen minute drive. Their glass cases and racks are full. Pallets of Blaser Brass 9mm, $19.99 a box. Had other pallets of other ammo but I did not look to see what they were. I left with a new Sig P320 X VTAC.

I have made two online purchases from Kentucky Gun Company- both orders were smooooth.

It sounds like you have a good LGS john. My closet LGS is only 1 mile away but the owner is a POS and his employees are douches. I went there for the last time about 5 years ago when I had some work done on a rifle of mine and the experience was awful and I said I would never go back.

The next closet LGS to me is the Fin in Canton, but that's 25 minutes away

Shops are pretty well stocked around here, both on guns and ammo. Prices are still high but not what they were. I'm even starting so see a pretty decent selection of powder, bullets, and brass, but still no primers.

The time to buy is now.
(while it is plentiful and prices are as reasonable as they are considering the dicked up economy)

Prices on the Hellion on GB has gone down to MSRP (~$,2000) from the insane $3000 to $3500 when it first came up. I'm interested but not yet ready to pull the trigger.

There's a Fin in Youngstown but that's a drive for me and it's Youngstown. Actually Boardman but I have to drive through Youngstown.
There's a place in Middlefield I think that's still in business and it was a big store that sold everything outdoors plus firearms.

Absolutely.
I plan on going back and getting a case of 9mm soon.

Thank you John. I will check them out. Their website pricing seems very good.

My LGS is pretty much “full up”. Revolvers are sorta limited, case has that picked through look, nothing I’m interested in anyway.

Ammo racks mostly filled, (.327 Fed, 10mm, 7mm08, .325WSM, ex, availability) pallets of common stuff in addition to the racks. Prices are in all honesty about right. Not panic sale, or panic inflated, better than Scheels on just about everything.

The selection of reloading supplies has even increased. Far worse than loaded ammo though, far worse.

This exactly. I’m starting to refill/expand my inventory, it’s been 2 years since I’ve pulled out my wallet.

Any GP11?

Asking for some friends.

My LGS was well stocked. The were however asking $80 for a 500ct brick of PMC .22lr. :/

My local Wally World had a brick of 525 rounds of Remington Golden Bullets for $40 the other day. Not a great price but decent so I grabbed it.

Jeepers creepers! $16 per 100?!?! That is total horseshit!! I know it’s no longer the 80’s, but dayum……that used to be $1.25 per 100…red box of Winchester SuperX comes to mind. Fuggin’ highway roberry…

I remember around 2006 or so a brick of 500 .22lr was $15.

Expect minor panic buying over the next bit. It’s to be expected.

LGS distributors had about 180k PMAGS in stock first of the week, out of stock as of this morning.

This gun control crap is going no where, but people still panic buy at the first whiff of trouble.

I was gonna stop back yesterday and see if there were anymore cases of 5.56 and grab a few more Pmags but I worked a double on Friday and had to be back in at 8am on Saturday. By the time I got out, I went straight home and went to bed.
Plans are to stop this week and see what they have ammunition wise and go from there.
No panic here but I'd like to stock a few cases of 5.56 and 9mm.
