My assumption is long term contracts to purchase at a given price, and/or have already bought it and take shipments as it becomes available. They're not buying at today's prices.
Academy is probably on very slim margins for ammo, but it does get people in the store to buy other stuff.

Range ammo cheap still, if you don't mind Tula; works fine in my Glock for drills.

For perspective, for practice ammo, if you buy 1000 rds of wwb for $200, and have a 20% failure rate, you're cost is $25 cpr instead of 20.
Since 9mm is now 40 cpr, not a bad deal for range ammo.

I have no problems with WWB through my eight 9mm Glocks and I run light striker springs in four of them. In fact, I can't remember the last time I had a malf.

Under normal market conditions, there were plenty of high quality alternatives for equal pricing.

I have had some luck finding FMJ 9mm for decent prices. 17.99 for a box of 50.
Also found some hollow points. Winchester Silver Tip.. I don't have any JHP so i know I should get it. Are all JHP pretty similar? I want something that will work.
BTW if anyone needs 9mm for a decent price check the instock reddit sub. There's a drop today at 3/330 central

Hi, gun crew. Newbie here.
I just took the Firearm Safety Certificate exam today, passed it, and bought a gun. Now I'm waiting on the 10-day background check to clear before I can pick up my firearm.
There were little to no options available at the store. I was thinking of getting something like a 9mm Glock, but everything is sold out. I ended up blindly purchasing a Smith & Wesson 610 (10mm) (4" Barrel) because that was all they had (really) and I just wanted something ASAP.
When I go back to pick up the gun, I need to buy ammo. What kind of ammo do you guys recommend for home defense? What should I be asking for? Are there any other accessories I should get?

Welcome to the thread.
Don't know chit about revolvers but I got speed loading fantasies about being a cowboy so I'd pick up the quick reloaders imo and training, ofc. All the training you can afford. So much training, your gf will call you revolver ocelot.

There were little to no options available at the store. I was thinking of getting something like a 9mm Glock, but everything is sold out. I ended up blindly purchasing a Smith & Wesson 610 (10mm) (4" Barrel) because that was all they had (really) and I just wanted something ASAP.
When I go back to pick up the gun, I need to buy ammo. What kind of ammo do you guys recommend for home defense? What should I be asking for? Are there any other accessories I should get?
I just took the Firearm Safety Certificate exam today, passed it, and bought a gun. Now I'm waiting on the 10-day background check to clear before I can pick up my firearm.

So you got a double edged sword with the 610. It's gonna be a handful to shoot, but 10mm is also one of the calibers I'm actually still seeing inventory for around town.
Buy two boxes of defensive ammo (100rds) and a couple boxes of whatever the cheapest FMJ (full metal jacket) ammo they have is. Stick the defensive stuff away. Go practice a couple times with the other stuff. You're really going to need to learn recoil management and not to be uncomfortable with that caliber in that gun.
I wouldn't go ammo crazy with this, because before you're through 100rds of defensive stuff with a revolver, the fight is gonna be over, one way or the other. I'd stash away money for when you eventually *do* find a gun that's gonna be a bit more comfortable to shoot frequently.
Reps for getting something though. Too many people have literally nothing ATM and insist on continuing to have nothing, just because they can't find the Gen 5 Glock 19 they want.

But you could get some moon clips, take some action training, and get a sweet af cowboy hat.
I'm talking myself into this.
