Self defense rounds

[scottka]

Where do you guys buy your SD rounds? Internet? LGS? Gander Mountain-type store?

I am currently looking to get 124 gr. 9mm Speer Gold Dots, but I am just curious as to where you guys go for your SD rounds.

Thanks.

LGS. Gander Mountain's ammo prices are insane to say the least.

Wherever I can find them. Local gunstore, cabelas when not on backorder. Currently looking for hornady critical defense in .380 I think I got a better chance hitting the powerball though. Might just have to wait till 1500

couldn't agree with you more there. Only get it from dicks during big sales like black Friday

 

[LotsofGlocks]

I always buy mine from local gun shops and sometimes the internet.

I order all my SD ammo from here in the 50 round boxes. Best buy for the buck.

HOLLOW POINT Ammo : Ammunition To Go

Most lgs charge the price these guys want for only 20-25 rounds.

By the time you pay for shipping you may as well support your LGS and buy local! Build a relationship that will last!

LGS is the way to go on this. I have bought at Gander on occasion when I needed more RFN, but I always feel bad about it afterwards. Besides at this point I can walk in and just say the caliber I need and he pulls up my brand, kind of like when I go to certain gas stations and say I need smokes.

for self defense rounds i always get them from my LGS

I don't know for sure but Bradis on the southwest side of indy had them last weekend I bought some Hornaday Critical Defense 40 s&w for 20 bucks thats pretty good. I say support your local shops the more they sale the better the price gets for all of us.

 

[SKSnut]

whats LGS? I have bought from Cheaper than dirt several times, but shipping is high.

I go to Pennsylvania a couple of times a month for work. I found a little hole-in-the wall shop outside of Pittsburgh that has good prices. Last time I was there I bought:

2 boxes Hornady Critical Defense 9mm $17.50 ea

2 boxes Speer Gold Dot 380 $19.75 ea

2 boxes Winchester Bonded .40 $19 ea

2 boxes Winchester Bonded .45 $19 ea

2 boxes 50 rounds Blazer .45 $16 ea

1 box Winchester 45 acp 230 gr SXT personal protection $17.05

I'm going back out in a couple of weeks and taking more money this time.

ammunitiontogo.com great prices and ships fast

PSS...Bob has almost anything you might need in nearly every manufacturer, weight combo available.

OR...Double Tap makes good JHP ammo for good prices in the 50 round boxes.

For SD, I shop at the LGS (local gun shop). I typically buy from The Outdoorsman, Bradis, Elmore's and PSS depending on where I'm at and what I need. None of these guys jacked prices when ammo was short (unlike Gander) and I really like having local gun shops around, so I try to give them whatever business I can. I've looked at the online vendors, but when you add the cost of shipping, it's rarely a great deal over what I can find locally.

www.ammunitiontogo.com has a lot of SD ammo or ACME Sports in Seymour.

I usually buy in bulk from the sportsmans guide sportsmansguide.com. Ironically small orders are on a long backorder for handgun ammo but large orders 1,000 rds or more are due to be in around the end of March. I have purchased a lot of Wolf ammo for target practice and never had a problem. They have some ammo (9mm) from pakistan for $160 for a 1,000 rds. Thinking about trying a few to see how it does.

 

[Zimm1001]

Just ordered 1,000 rds of 9mm wolf ammo for $199. Due March 22nd.

Keisseler's or Whittaker's. Either 124gr +P GoldDots or Winchester Ranger T 127gr +P+

 

[fastwally]

I use Ranger T (leo) in everything but the .380, I use Speer Gold Dot personal protection in that.
