Reloading was a problem too. Primers are still tough to find, but it's slowly getting better. For months I had a huge stockpile of brass, bullets and powder with no primers at all. It was seriously pissing me off. At least now I can play with the other pistols until .22lr is readily available.

Yeah, they're the ones. They're actually proof against intelligent design. No benevolent creator could have willingly created such a creature.

I've got a bunch, but I'm not shooting it because it's hard to replace. I'm ***-deep in .45acp, so at least I've got something to shoot.

I'm almost tempted to go buy something that shoots one of the off-the-wall calibers that's always in stock. I'm finding .17HMR everywhere.

.380 auto has been very cheap and easy to reload.

I've got a .380 stuffed in the back of the safe somewhere. Hmm. Might have to dig it out and take it shooting. At a target 18" away. And struggle to hit center of mass. Keltecs are awesome.

I haven't been to the range all summer. It's an outdoor range. You'll fill up your safety glasses with sweat. I'll start back up in a week or two when it's not miserable out. I've got a new red dot for a rifle to sight in, and two or three new(ish) pistols to try out.

I have a couple .380 autos and I used to carry one when I lived in central pheonix and working on construction jobs.

I think we pay about $300 a year here for our range. The range rents out its fields to multiple law enforcement agencies. I have to say they have ALWAYS put money back into the club through charity events and social awareness of good causes When I can blow through 2 belts of M60 ammo with a cheering crowd...I just want to salute everyone lol.

I consider myself a good shot, and I am absolutely worthless with the little tiny gun. The .380 would be more accurate if I threw it at the attacker. I've got a couple of .38 snubbies, and they're not too bad. Except the S&W titanium one. In .357 it is the most unpleasant thing I've ever shot. Your hand hurt for days after shooting it.
