Which one did you go to RN? I went to one the other day and the line was almost out the door so I didn't go in.

What model did you buy Vic? Today I saw our LGS had Glock 19s again and even some Mini 14s! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
Not one round of 22 lr or 223 there though... Glock 17 generation 4 or some such. It came with 3 17 rd magazines. That's a lot of firepower. It has the light rail so I have a light on it. If something goes bump in the night, the Glock is what I grab.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

If something goes bump in the night, the Glock is what I grab. You might want to pick up an Apex Tactical extractor for that, Glock is now using metal injected molded extractors in all their pistols. Many people have experienced brass to face issues because of this, but even if you are not it could result in malfunctions. I've got one in my Gen 4 and I can highly recommend it..... Apex just got the Gen 3 9mm extractors in stock, but the Gen 4 version will be back in stock soon according to their newsletter. https://apextactical.com/store/product-info.php?pid67.html

I was talking to the guys at my gun shop. They were telling me that they have been getting calls from the U.S. asking if we have ammo and how to get it back across the border! Its not crazy up here, the shelves are still full of handguns rifles and shotguns, lots of ammo too. But they warned me that we are going to start running out because of U.S. demand!

This is one way to boost a sagging economy. People are spending like crazy because of this. While it may not be for mainstream items it certainly should have an effect.

Which one did you go to RN? I went to one the other day and the line was almost out the door so I didn't go in. Hoffmans. I went around 11 am yesturday and almost couldn't park. Could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw the Mini 14s there...they were almost $200 more than last month though..about $850 and up. Glock prices were same and they had a lot of 9mm ammo...not a lot of variety though. I did see an AK and few black guns at BMGs a week or so ago, but the prices were sky high. I'm a little torn on what to do/buy. I got in an order for a kel tec sub 2000 glock 17 model that will come in for a little over $300..but got no mags! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I was waiting to buy them and waited too long. Can't imagine CT won't pass a 10 round mag max and reason I ordered the subbie was to have some fun with higher capacity! And I'm more interested in a glock 19 than the 17 but wouldn't have mag compatability! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> I'll tell ya, I'm not the smartest buyer sometimes... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I just went to my LGS, they had a handful of black rifles on the wall still, and I got some (overpriced) glock mags in there too.
Their pistol counter was pretty full as well.
All their prices seemed pretty usual. Its an expensive store in general, but they are in the middle of a large city.
To get an idea of their prices, they had an FDE SCAR 17s with an ACOG on it for $4k recently (which was gone today.)

I tried my luck with them not long ago when they had the sale of the S&W AR with a few mags/ammo combo. They had about 100 of them and it was sold out long before I got in. All these panic buys are not helping us

I think the panic buying is helping in the sense that legislators are seeing exactly how many people want to buy and own guns.
When I went to my LGS earlier today it was packed in there, a bunch of first time gun buyers were being shown various pistols by the staff and how to use them for self defense.
I saw more young (20-something) women in there today than I ever have before, and they all had their IDs out and were buying.

You might be right in that sense. The issue is people can't find stuff that they want in stock anymore. No mags, no guns, no ammo....

well I didn't think it would happen so fast but the pistol cases are pretty much empty here. bass pro has a pretty long pistol counter and all but the top shelf of the center was completely empty. and whats crazy is that 10 minutes away there's a pawn shop that sells guns and they looked fully stocked. my guess is that nobody outside of the city is really familiar with this shop since it's pretty close to downtown. but they actually had some pretty decent prices that are much better than bp on the handguns and so far they had only doubled the prices on hicap rifles. even saw a large keltec box there and you don't really see any of the hicap keltec capable stuff anywhere right now. didn't see much even before all lf this...

From all this talk I have deduced that if you have not purchased your ammo by now...you are totally out of luck. I doubt things will get back to normal. When was the last time you saw a local Wal Mart that had shelves devoid of ammo? This is new, ugly territory.
