Wally Worlds here, no Handgun ammo, just shotgun and some rifle...

Bass Pro, must have a crappy distributor of handgun ammo, others rifle shotgun,  plenty..

Had a gun show last weekend, Speer GDHP .380 $32.00 :o

45Colt was cheaper.. ???

If it's starting to come back, its not happening everywhere.

But optimistic news is a good thing....

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Is it normal if shelves are filled, but prices are still high?

Prices here are higher than they were but everything else seems to be going up to so yes I guess it is, depending on HOW high.

I ran into a deal here local and picked up 3 boxes of 9mm FMJ, 3 boxes of 38 spl JHP and a box of .380 for 100.00.

Yeah, you stole that .380

either that or threatened the use of the 9mm.  Hey Haz, if I ever start some sort of company, you're gonna be my purchasing agent. ;D

I laugh! According to the media, the recession is over, too ;)

what is this shortage you speak of?  I never had a prob finding ammo, higher prices yes, but finding it no.  Then again, I never shopped the "box stores"  I went to mainly mom and pop and at the range.  Like I said, higher prices, but not lack of it.

now before you say its a CA thing, no its not, when I went to reno, np, when I was in OR, np.  Hell even the recent trip to ID, np. 
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

Well, here in KS, the ammo is still in short supply. When I bought my LCP, the owner of the store took the gun out of the display case the only box of .380 he had out of the safe! I got the whole 6 month allotment of .380 that the local hell mart has gotten in to that date, a whole 5 boxes. Shoot the LCP's are easy to find but almost impossible to feed. .40 has been fairly available but haven't been able to get any 9mm for I don't know how long.

Go online. 9mm is both easy and cheap. .380 is scarcer on the ground but findable, though spendy.
