I could use a little more 9 but good to go on 22.

From what I've heard Dunham's in Burlington and perhaps Martinsville have .22lr as of today. No purchase limits. As usual call before you go, they may have to close by Friday or Saturday

Good luck finding 9mm, .38 special, or .45ACP! None to be found online or elsewhere -- scarce as toilet paper. I have enough of all, but not enough to go range shooting. No live fire practice presently, and rationing the T.P.  :o

Fun today -- draw and quick fire from 10, then 15, then 20 yards. 56 rounds total from the Colt LW Commander .45 acp. Pulled the backer and target off and laid it on the table for a picture. Not great shooting, but decent. Made some big holes, anyway....  /'/

You shooting at an outdoor range Phil or you have some private property? VA shut down all the indoor ranges and I think they shut down their public NF outdoor ranges too.  A few of the outdoor private clubs still have their ranges running but word is nobody is shooting due to saving ammo.

J, my gun club is an outdoor range with many bays and areas. I haven't been in several weeks since I too am saving ammo, but have plenty enough to stay in practice.

Last time I was out was March 15th to test out some changes I made to the 10mm 1911.  Also shot a couple hundred rounds out of my CZ P01 and my Suppressed .22

The Suppressor was a dirty girl.  Took me an hour to get all the baffles out.  Think I had 500ish rounds through it since the last time I cleaned it and it was nearly welded together. A lot of soaking and smacking was involved.

Looks like you got that RIA and/or the CZ running just fine.  'c;

I wonder why some are conserving ammo.

Ammo hoarding is probably a measure of unmitigated anxiety stemming from the feeling of one not being able to affect control during periods of troubling circumstances.

Could be, but why not hoard something that would possibly diminish the anxiety even if it is unmitigated?  Hoard booze, drugs, porn, favorite ice cream, or if you believe in such folly, copies of Claire Weekes or the New Testament?  I don't get it!

I don't either.  Healthy living that includes sufficient sleep, no personal debt, healthy food intake, no drugs, generally no alcohol, and no adultery has served me well. The last doctor intervention took place 6-7 years ago, and involved a fish hook in my thumb. There are 4 full freezers in the basement, a canning shelf full of food, and a planted garden. The world can go to hell, and I'll likely be ok.  If not, there are a couple bullets in rifle if things become so miserable.

Oh, and big pharma can kiss my ass.

Onslow -- yes, WGC.

The hoarding ammo issue? I don't -- I'm not hobby shooting for fun as much now because so many others are hoarding, just conserving what I have. No ammo is available in stores or online presently. It's all been snatched up by hoarders, just like toilet paper. Onslow is correct -- I think it's a form of anxiety control for some.
