FYI this thread will get locked by the mods because there is a "where to find" thread stickied and otherwise this forum would get too cluttered. Its title says "no questions" but that means no reloading questions, not "no questions about where to find stuff". It's encouraged to ask where to find stuff in that thread.
If you want to pay, Pay with a capital P, target sports USA is keeping primers in stock by charging 600/5K. All the no-name places with stuff in stock cheap right now are scams that want you to pay with untraceable and non-refundable things like Bitcoin or cash app. https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/Where-to-Find-Tools-Components-Promo-Codes-Go-Here-NO-QUESTIONS-or-off-topic-comments-/42-274673/&page=252 |

This thread has been discussing (vetting) the various sites that say they still have primers.
Link to ARFCOM thread That thread also names some places that have primers. Also, people have been buying primers from Argentina and Bosnia. Apparently, they are fine, just not well known in the USA. There are lots of issues right now but you can buy primers. For example, some limit you to 1,000 but you pay the full HAZMAT on that 1,000. Some places are charging $150/1,000,... lots of issues. The risk of theft/fraud can be minimized by using a credit card - if they do not deliver, dispute the charge. |

If you want to pay, Pay with a capital P, target sports USA is keeping primers in stock by charging 600/5K. That is only slightly more than brick and mortar shops that limit you to two "units" (trays of 100) of primers per person, per day, and TSUSA has them in stock. All the time, money and effort calling and driving around to various gun shops to luck into primers in stock is a pain in the butt. I finally broke down and bought 5K from TSUSA because after doing the math, it is still considerably less expensive to reload 9mm than buying factory new. |

There is no where online you can just go and find 5K “name brand” primers in stock.
You gave a couple of options: 1. Set up alerts, join Discord group snd follow the threads in this Forum and in Team. When primers gone in stock you have to be fast to grab them before they go out of stock. Even then, most places limit you to 1K. So you’ll need to buy multiple times to get 5K, paying shipping and Hazmat multiple times. 2. Buy primers like Ginex that are not as well known. ETA: I was wrong. If you’re willing to pay $600 per 5K go to TSUSA. Apparently that’s the new normal for primers. |

Quoted: I'm looking for up to a case (5K) of small pistol primers from a known manufacturer (ie. WW, Rem, CCI, Fed, even Fiocchi). When I do a search for "in stock" I get outfits that I've not dealt with.... but the usual suspects (Brownell's, Grafs, Midsouth, Midway, etc.) all say "out of stock". Does anyone know where I can get a case lot of small pistol primers that isn't a scam of some sort???? Inobtanimum, dude. Midway occasionally has spp. Reloading Unlimited has srp and lrp as of this morning. |

Joining the discord server shows that primers are slowly coming back in stock. That and they aren't immediately going out of stock. So there is some signs of recovery, slowly, but that's expected.

Read positive reviews on GINEX spp, so plunged in for 5K. I'm sure they'll work fine in the Glock (it sets off CCI small rifle primers), so at least I can keep that going for a while. The real question is will they work shooting double action revolver with a slightly light mainspring.... I know from this weekend's match that my Colt Trooper (old model) absolutely detests the CCI small rifles.... had to shoot the whole match single action! Needless to say, scores sucked and a lesson learned (even worse, I knew that double action primer strikes are lighter in any revolver).

Midway has been limiting buyers to 1K.
I signed up from Brownell alerts 2 years ago, but never got an alert. Midsouth sends alerts, but by the time I log in, they’re out of stock. Not sure if they limit because, I’ve missed out. |

Target Sports USA has various types at $599/5000 + tax so $642.00
That is just more than I will go considering that is 13 cents each and I am finding 9MM 124gr ammo for 30 cents With 124gr bullets costing 9C and powder about 4 C that is 26CPR to do the work compared to 30CPR for factory 9 I understand loading 308 or even 223/5.56 but we are reaching some caliber points where factory makes more cents than reloading Of course, IMO |
