Ah yes ! the " big 22LR shortage... I managed to get that one azz backwards.
I happen on an UZI at good price, I thought would be fun, turned out it was finicky about the 22s it would digest.
With 25 rounds to a magazine it would burn through the High Velocity flavor bricks rather quickly.
So it sat during the shortage , once it was easing up, I picked several bricks.
Because it was so picky , liking mainly CCI High Velocity , I traded it off a for a 9MM PPS-43.
Figured ".what a deal " !
Now the 9MM is 3 times as costly as it was when I did the trade .
. was paying $13 at Bass pro or Academy Sports
Now its $38 a box if they happen to have a delivery and you happen to be in there early enough....
