Hit up 5 local gun shops in 2 days
And this is what i found:
Stop #1 - Tanner's. It was #1 for a reason. I was on a quest for a subcompact hammer fired pistol (see my post on pistols and the Beretta storm). They didn't really have much that fit the bill. Some compact pistols. But nothing smaller. While i was there i grabbed a box of s&b 9mm and 2 boxes of pmc 62 grain xtac. Best prices out of all of the stores i went to. That isn't too say good prices. But better than online. I bought the limit which was the single box of 9mm and 2 of the 5.56.
Used guns were limited. Even new guns were limited. But still a lot to pick from.
Stop #2 - Johnston's sporting goods. This one used to be part of the auto shop across the street (which is now a restaurant). They had lots of ammo. Some brands i had never heard of. Some i had. In the popular calibers, it was all stuff I hadn't. So no ammo purchased. Still a decent selection for such a small store.
Some first time buyers. I looked around. But nothing called out to me. This store used to have some really interesting oddball stuff way back in the day. Still a good shop to check out.
Stop #3 - Mike's guns. There were maybe 10 guns in the store. Last time I was there, they had a lot more in stock. So obviously they sold it.
I always felt like that store was mostly focused on military surplus and hunting rifles.
They did have a Ruger 5-7. But that was about all i could really note.
Nothing purchased.
Stop #4 - surplus city. I got there as they opened. There was a line. Very few guns in the store compared to when i was there last (which admittedly was a while ago).
I was a little sad that they kind of cleaned the store up and gave it more of a respectable vibe than the dingy boy's club it used to be.
They did have some rifles and shotguns. But no subcompacts. Not much actual surplus. Just a few used 38 revolvers.
I picked up a box of pmc 38 special, federal 9mm, and 2 more boxes of pmc xtac. I can't remember who made the 38. Ammo was a little more pricey than Tanner's. But they had it on the shelf and all was name brand.
Stop #5 - auger precision. This was the only store i had never been to. So glad I stopped. They have a ton of AR parts in stock for building. They had a pretty decent gun selection. Especially for a store of their size. I saw the Beretta storm subcompact there. Price was probably msrp. For a subcompact in this environment, I'll take it.
Not much in the way of ammo to be had. But i did score a box of hornady critical defense 115 grain. Not cheap. Over a dollar a round.
I'll definitely be going back there. It is close to home and right around the corner from Johnston's. So it is a 2 for one sort of deal.

Re: Hit up 5 local gun shops in 2 days
Don't recall the models. All looked like heavy frames. I remembered thinking that they looked particularly robust for only 38 special. 4 or 5 inch barrels.
300$ and up if i recall correctly.
1 box limit on 38 special. They also had 357 Magnum in stock.
I just checked my receipt. 30$ for pmc 132 grain 38 special.
35$ federal 115 grain 9mm
15$ pmc xtac (i think they are 20 round boxes).

Only 5 in 2 days? You're a slacker.

This is the one I've been looking for...
I might have to forget about it though as I'm very late to the party.

Once you're at Surplus city you might as well hit Classic Pistol
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.
