The ballistics of .40 are awesome, but sold out pistol and ammo some time back due to envisioned scarcity of ammo. In a crunch, 9mm, .45 and .22 will be available through barter, etc., but finding .40 will be tough. Have told people this for years (just like everything else). Oh well...
why in the world do they need a complete armament re-outfitting ?
They replaced the 9s due to desire for better performance long ago. I guess they decided the FBI was the enemy now too.
Next up, we issue super computers to every IRS agent and a list of anyone who ever signed onto FR.
...sold out pistol and ammo some time back due to envisioned scarcity of ammo...
All the government needs to do to create a shortage of ammo is to let out a contract for multimillions of .40 or any caliber.
Government contracts must be fulfilled before civilian sales. So, little ammunition is found on retail shelves. As we know, the Imam in Chief has declared war on ammo as well as guns.
I have guns in many calibers (don't have a .40 yet) for the simple reason I want to be able to make use of whatever ammo I can get my hands on.
Yeah, like they listen to you. LOL! Kind of my feelings too. As much as I like the stats for the .40, the most commonly used ammo seems to still be the 9. Plus I got a killer deal on some .22 just before it suddenly became, uh, unavailable. Still got .38, .357 and 12 gage which are more easily found. And tradeable. Or is it barterable. :>}
I have no shortage of anything but time.
