Wow great info about Sportsmans Outdoors.

I bought 5 boxes also.  My fedex tracking info came across in engrish :D.  

Maybe it was a setting or something.

Well I phoned the wife and she'll stop by Mainland China on her way home.  

But one thing I find interesting: why is it the really big places like Midway and Cabela's and Cheaper Than Dirt couldn't get Silvertips for over a year (and still can't get them) - yet this place can ship multiple boxes to you tomorrow?  And for a price that's several bucks lower than the big guys?

Good question,  maybe this place has lower overhead or something.

Anyways I gave them a call and was told they have several boxes left, I think I will be picking up a few more boxes.

Thanks again for the heads up about this place.

Just called Sportsman Outdoor -- I was told that they were in stock.

Thanks for checking.  If you click on .380 Silvertips, it says check or email for availability; then click on 9mm Silvertips, it will let you place the order.  So, all is well.

A funny thing happeded while ordering some Winchester .32 Silvertips 60 gr. today on Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore.   After ordering I decided to go back and see if they would still let an order be placed.  The Winchester .32 Silvertips was not there.  Not even the check for availability.  I checked my account and the order had been placed.  

I could have bought all they had, maybe, but looks like the check for availability mode would have still been there.  I was surprised to see they had the .32's.  They still have 9mm's, for now.

KJ, good catch on finding the .32 STs. Couple of days ago when I first heard about the 9MMs I accessed the site and bought the 9MMs, then went looking for .32s and .380s like I always do. No luck on either one. You must have really hit those .32s just right! Way to go!!    Gene

I got 2 box of 50 of 9mm Silvertip from   www.rrarms.com for $81.23 shipped.  Is that a good price?

That was the weirdest thing.  One minute I'm looking at them, put the order in, checked to make sure it was in and it (the order) was, then went back to see where you put the order in, and the place was gone.  No site for the .32 Silvertips.  My order is still in.

That is now a little high since you can get them at Sportsmans
Outdoor Superstore for $29.95 a box plus shipping.  They still have some if you need more.

    DaninVa, the problem with Chinese Silvertips is that when you shoot a BG then 15 minutes later you have to shoot him again. ;D ;D ;D        Gene

I tried some Chinese ammunition a while back, and when I pulled the trigger a flag that said "BANG" came out of the barrel.  True story.
