This is the 4th or 5th gun/ammo panic I've seen since the mid-90's. I was inconvenienced by the first couple (couldn't get enough primers to load my summer IDPA ammo supply), but I was able to get the ammo I needed at gouge-level prices so all it cost me was a bit more money. I started making sure I had a modest inventory of components and ammo on hand after that, though.

When the .223/5.56 shortage hit in 2006, I decided to start keeping a bit more loaded ammo on hand...
