Stopped up at the York location of Gander Outdoors today. Looking for some various standard capacity handgun mags, and a few Springfield M1A 20 rounders. The cupboard was nearly bare. Not that they didn’t carry what I was looking for, but they were damn near out of everything I was looking for. There was a hook and price tag there for them, but the hooks were empty. Zero Glock 17 mags(5 or 6 empty hooks), only one Sig P320 full size, only one Ruger BX25 22LR (4 empty hooks). Empty hooks o’plenty. They had a decent supply of PMags left, but even they had several empty hooks. No M1A mags either, but no hook for them either (however they do offer these online).
Even the ammo shelves were pretty sparse other than .22LR, which was lucky because that was another reason I went there in the first place. Is there currently a panic buy going on? Has anyone seen this at any other retailers? Until today I’ve been pretty much buying everything online lately and haven’t noticed, although with the recent political climate I could see this happening.
I did like the store layout, and there are plenty of firearms to handle. Most prices I could remember were slightly less than BPS/Cabelas across the board, fyi.
What’s everyone else seeing in the way of in-store availability of items? I can’t imagine a retailer like Outdoor World would have such a depleted inventory on a Saturday early afternoon, when most working folks can shop. BTW, the store was not crowded at all, barely anyone in there (maybe 12 total cars in entire parking lot including the at least 6 people I saw working there).
