Was at Scheels in Springfield IL today and they had wait for it . . . pistol ammo on the shelves!!! Rifle ammo too. The pistol ammo I saw was for bigger guns, 357, 44 mag etc, but the prices were okay.
I'm going to be the optimist and take this as a sign that the demand is slowing down.
Article in Shooting Illustrated (March 2021) titled "Great Ammo Shortage Explained" calls this a "super demand" not a shortage adding " . . . this is the most demanding market in history . . ."
Article notes that there are 7 million new gun owners (wow), that Remington's bankruptcy proceedings slowed them down to a stand still, but they are up and running again, and that all the ammo manufacturers at full capacity including working three shifts.
Life is good.
