That’s crazy. Somebody stole mine. I’ll never buy another one. Who needs em anyway.Any firearms I mentioned in this thread were tragically lost in a boating accident.
I list them all
Any non gun owners thinking about buying one?

Consider the most popular rifle in the country, America's rifle, the AR-15. Buy readily available milspec parts independently or from a kit and assemble it yourself with just a few basic tools. Learn your rifle that way. Or just buy one pre-built. Custom mods are near endless. You'll have a rifle that can take all the hell you want to put it through, easy to clean and maintain, and satisfies many uses. You'll probably have a little trouble finding decent ammo these days, so buy what you can if you can afford it. And stock up on magazines. The demorats usually start with banning mags to limit you to only 10 rounds per mag. Idiocy, since a mag change can be done in 2 seconds, plus deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

Was looking at one these today in a hardwood stock.
Domestically, at least, it is shockingly easy. You have to have a hard case with a TSA lock (less than $20 on Amazon), put the pistol unloaded in the case and lock it, and declare it when you check in. I think you can fly with up to 50 rounds as long as it is stored outside of the case.
I have no idea internationally.
What kind of prices are you guys paying for ammo? Suppliers here in South Georgia are pretty much price gouging us. I paid $50 yesterday just for one 50-count box for my .45 ACP. That’s almost double what I use to pay.
We are getting bent over as well.
I am fortunate that I am well stocked. I just picked up a full size Kimber and I would typically grab a couple boxes when I purchase a new weapon, this time I did not even consider it.
A gun store owner I know says it is going to get worse according to his wholesaler.

I bought one of these last year. at the time i could have bought a 25rd clip for about $15. now you can’t find one, and the last ones i saw available were three or four times that.
I wouldn't doubt you about the prices now. I bought a Taurus G2c at RK before this Covid and rabble rousing began. It was $179 before a $25 rebate. Last one I seen actually on the shelf was $279.

Thank you...Very insightful.
Anybody travelled internationally and taken a pistol with them?
I cannot find ammo anywhere right now. Anyone know any online stores that have it in stock?
I went to Dunham's the other day and they had a few boxes of shotgun shells and that was it. When I went down the isle where the ammo used to be it was like an episode of the Walking Dead where they go into a store looking for supplies and everything is gone.
A lot of the online stores get ammo fairly regularly, but it gets snapped up fast. Prepper Gun Shop has .223, .45, and .40 S&W right now as of this comment. The prices are pretty high, but that's the norm now (200 round battle pack of Xtac 223 is $159 before shipping, for example). They send out emails when they restock.
You can supposedly get ammo at good prices from places like Academy, Bass Pro/Cabelas, and Dunham’s. You just have to ask when they get trucks in, and be there when they open up.
