Primer availability — finally back
Small pistol primers have been trickling back in in my area. Finally scored 4158 CCI at my LGS for $40/k.
Where are you guys finding primers?

This is the content I come here for. Thanks OP.
Solid post. I've been thinking about the same thing lately. My Canik TP9 Elite has been my go-to but I'm always looking at other options.
My LGS has been getting CCI large pistol primers pretty regularly for my .45 Colt loads. Small pistol is still hit or miss though. FWIW I've been having good luck with the Winchester primers when I can find them - they work fine in my Dillon 550 and cost about $3/k less than CCI.
Nice find! I've been checking Sportsman's Warehouse weekly and finally scored 2000 CCI SPP last month at $45/k. Still painful compared to pre-2020 prices but at least we can reload again. My 9mm stash was getting dangerously low...
Been watching PowderValley and MidwayUSA like a hawk. Grabbed 5k Federal SPP from Powder Valley two weeks ago for $42/k plus hazmat. They go fast though - you gotta jump on notifications immediately. Also check your local Scheels if you have one, they've been getting regular shipments.
