Just got notified saturday that a very good, very low priced .32 acp round was again available at an ammo retailer .
Tried to buy it Monday morning and they were sold out already.
Has anyone been seeing certain types of ammo selling out this quickly recently?

Happens all the time. Should have bought it Saturday when you got the notification. It's happened to me a few times. Especially if it's a limited run or seasonal production. Gotta get it while the gettin's good.

Probably a situation of limited supply from limited demand. The same small group of .32 aficionados are chasing the small amounts of .32 ammo when it becomes available. Or has the .32 ACP suddenly become mainstream popular unbeknownst to me?

I know a few women who carry that round so maybe they stocked up.

not sure if that was snarky response, but the .32 acp round still has a LOT of very knowledgeable gun carrying folks advocating for it.. The keltec p32 is still sold, as well as the NAA, Seecamp, Beretta Tomcat and a LOT of people carry them, some of them mainly because they like to carry very small, or have to carry small or carry nothing...
I carry the P32 a lot, and its a very capable little gun.. I had an LCP II that was also a good gun, but after 2 mags at the range I was done, wrist aching from the recoil.. Maybe when I was 30-40 years old, it wouldn't have bothered me, but at 65, I was not enjoying it.. Got the Keltec in .32 and it was a lot better for me.. No its NOT a .357 revolver or .45 1911, but its still a decent, easy to carry gun thats a lot better than harsh words.. .32 doesn't have the big knockdown power,we all know that, but the Keltec carries 8 rounds of it, and for a lot of us, we feel secure enough with that capacity...
Personally i don't put down anyone for what their carry pieces are chambered in.. They are a lot better off than a person that carries nothing but good intentions for his/her personal defense... bob

I dont think they make a lot of 32 ammo and it does not seem to be cheap when available. When cheap 32 ammo is around people stock up...

I realize that, and at $10 a box of 50 it does go fast.. Just didn't expect a really big retailer to be sold out in a day.. Next time I will be a bit quicker.. I have noticed .380 is getting cheaper.. At one time, it was almost as much as .32, but has come down. SO many guns being sold, and so many people carrying .380 weapons as opposed to a few years ago. 32 isn't dead yet,, Lots of fans still out there, and I am one of them.. I would LOVE a Seecamp or NAA Guardian... bob

Nope, not a snarky remark. Just saying they prefer the size for their hand and larger caliber than a 25 or 22lr.

I've got a Bernardelli Model 60 32 ACP, and am gonna pull the trigger on a Seecamp 32 at some point. I snag 32ACP wherever I see it, especially Silvertips. Gonna reload it when I finally get my reloading bench setup.

Also, I was thinking maybe dealers snap up these bulk deals.. At $10 a box,, they can buy 100 boxes, sell at $15, and be up $500.. At $15 a box in local stores it would be a good deal, as the CHEAPEST .32 I can find locally has been $18.99
A local gun store with good stock of all types of ammo told me he pays $15 a box for any .32 acp... bob
