I received the same comments back when the shortage started and I had the temerity to suggest that the shortage of .22 ammo would last longer than 6 months, and that it might last as long as 1 or 2 years. You can go back and find where I said this before. Time proved me right then...we can wait...

Some people are still acting like their .22 pistols have some inherent value over 9x18, or 9x19 or .357 and ask the same price that a 9mm or .380 can bring. $300 or $350 or even higher...for pistols that shoot a cartridge that is considerably weaker, less reliable, jams more frequently etc. When...

Hard to justify buying a pistol that shoots .22 caliber when it's the weakest round produced when 1000 rounds of .22 will set you back the same price as 500 rounds of 9mm. The reason .22 was popular was because you could get 500 rounds for $20. If 500 rounds is going to cost $100 for it thru...

"Does 9x18 have a future?" That depends. Do you call an obsolete caliber status as a future?

If you are going to get an LC9, get the LC9s. The original gun was improved on for a reason. The long trigger pull on the original model does not promote accuracy.

Is this the end of cheap Russian ammo? Probably the end of *all* Russian ammo. There are probably some alternatives for 7.62x39 and other Russian calibers, but whenever you drop a competitor out of the market, prices rise. So while it might not be the end of these calibers, I would expect the...

Wasn't this idea of Obama issuing an executive order to stop imports of arms and ammunition from Russia widely denounced a few months back after Sandy Hook? I seem to remember quite a few people saying how it was "impossible" under existing law. Looks like it is possible after all.

The removal of an overseas supplier will have effects on domestic pricing and supplies. That's not rocket science.

If the Ukraine issue keeps up and we see tension with Russia that lead to trade embargoes, then don't get too comfortable with prices at the moment. Removing any competition from an industry typical leads to higher prices..and in this case there will also be a shortage of supply...if fighting...

Lorcin, Bryco, Jennings. No thanks. Hi Points I've found to be okay. Ugly and bulky but functional. The gun brand I've had most problems with is Llama. Nice lines on the guns I bought. Looked good. HORRIBLE functioning. Jam after jam after jam. Tried one, thought I had a lemon. Bought a second...

So are we all agreed that when the Chinese invade the west coast that our defense starts at the Arizona and Nevada borders? :)

There are some clones out there that can be had for $250. I think Sarco and some ads on Gunbroker have Hi Power clones going for that right now. So then the question becomes, will I buy 2 clones for the price of 1 used factory BHP? If you plan to shoot and carry the gun rather than collect it...

Looking at the situation a few months on, I feel like I was pretty close.

In my historical past, the Internet did not exist until the early 1990's. I knew I passed into another dimension with an alternative history after I saw that UFO back in 1997. they didn't believe me.

The news articles I saw didn't just say the US would provide ammunition alone to the rebels, but small arms as well. One way to send a message that you are ACTUALLY supplying support is for your nations arms to show up on the battle field. If the US started sending a bunch of Russian or Chinese...
