Ok. I way overpaid($26.95) for ONE BOX(20) Elite Performance Ammunition;Sig V-Crown 115gr. jacketed hollow points. I know. Stupid.
It's been a long-standing tradition, for me, that, when I buy a new gun I get a box of ammo for it. There was a time the seller would just bump you a free box as appreciation for the purchase.(Yep,I'm that old!)
So,I bought myself an early Christmas Gift(P365XL) and when I got to the alter,er,counter to pay and state,in writing,unequivocally,that I am a non-hispanic(WTH?) the salesperson says"Would you like a box of ammo for that?" I was kinda shocked because they had NO 9mm ammo for sale on the shelves. He says it's policy to ask if you purchase a firearm.
The guy digs around under the counter and comes up with three really beautiful boxes of various self defense 9mm and says I can purchase one box. I was weak. I caved;but only due to my traditional values.
And I did buy a heap of ammo back when. Didn't even need the overpriced Sig Elite V-Crown 9mm. I have plenty of Federal HST 9mm back when I had SGammo on speed-dial.
To end this epic saga,I was probably one of those guys(Nit Wits) who got on the forum here(after a few years of being away from the shooting world to handle some long-term family issues)and said,"Dang! Have you seen these ammo prices!?" Mea culpa.
No more new guns for the rest of the year! (Just holsters.)
