I was able to get 6 50-rd boxes (the limit) of Blazer Brass 9mm FMJ at my local WM a few weeks ago, about $9 ea. Then, a few days ago, I was able to get 5 boxes of WWB 100-rd 9mm FMJ for about $21 ea, plus a 550-rd brick of .22LR (Federal FMJ, not the cheap lead bullets) for about $14.

Spent way more on ammo than I wanted to, BUT they had it, and it was much cheaper than my local range (my range charged $11.50 for one 50-rd box of .22LR!!!). You have to grab it when you can find it, I suppose.

I haven't fired my Glocks in months, since I only had a few boxes of ammo left. I now feel like I can afford to practice a little.

I also bought an Advantage Arms .22 conversion for my G19 a long time ago - glad to have it now! That gives me another option for practice.

Of course, this is one reason there is a shortage - I never kept more than 3 boxes of WWB on hand - now I have 8, plus the 6 boxes of Blazer. Multiply that by every shooter out there...
