I just shoot more and buy less, so my 30+ year-old safe is still big enough.After I started loading and my supplies were all shipped to me, I was going to the range more and the gun store less. I was having more fun loading and shooting more, but spending less on guns (and a bigger safe;-). Of course I do have to buy rimfire stuff.
I haven't bought a new gun in 20 years, and still carry the same gun every day that I bought 20 years ago. The good news is that I'm extremely familiar with it, which is a big positive with carry guns and flashlights when things go South. When I was very young, I had to trade a gun to get a new one, and while that didn't remain true, it might have cultivated a good practice. Guns haven't changed as much as flashlights have in 20 years though (EDIT: in ways really significant to me), so I did develop an 'issue' with buying new flashlights during that time. It's also true that a rolling stone gathers no moss, and the incredible number of times I've moved in my life has likely controlled any urge to 'collect' anything. I now anticipate buying very few new flashlights going forward from here, but please don't remind me I said that in another 20 years (not that I'll be around)
@raggie33 : I loved my 10/22 when I was a kid, but had to trade it to buy something else I wanted at the time. It might be the best .22LR rifle ever made(?). I had a Weaver 4x on mine. I'd like to replace it for old times' sake if I have spare funds sometime. I'm pretty sure there's room for one more in my safe, but if not, I have something I could trade...........
Re: stores locking up merch, drug stores are locking up almost everything in many locations. It's not just ammo, tobacco, and abusable OTC meds etc. anymore, and it's now just a (very sad) sign of the times:-(
After the last decade or so, I guess we're lucky they still sell ammo in stores. I bet in CA where I used to live it probably takes a background check with prints and all to buy ammo now - maybe even a waiting period to boot!

I'd hate to be in local retail. I probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night. In the musical chairs of life, they may not be a good person to be when the music stops...
I consume almost no media news, but I recently became aware that systems have been developed, and retail is likely spending a fortune(?) to begin implementing, which literally equip the shelves with remotely-controllable access to items by customers without requiring the headcount to support direct employee assistance / control at the item location.
No one wants to work a real job anymore even if they have no skills, if they do they expect to make a huge minimum wage retail can't afford to pay, and the lowlife scum are robbing them blind anyway. I guess soon a retail location will look like an Automat in NYC 100 years ago.
In fairness, it's YouTube. Comments section is usually a cesspool full of immature trolls. Can't blame the guy if he never bothered to read any of them.

Contrariwise, some of the comments are better than the video. 😁

Apparently they don't mind.... Folks still keep buying cars with CVTs in them.

At least they didn't put a button on it to make it sing "You've got a friend in me".

Yes, but it is not real wide. More Like semi double stack. They give you a plastic thing to help load it correctly. I watched a ton of vids before buying and no one can stop shooting it. Even Taurus haters admit (reluctantly) it is great. It seems Taurus has stepped up a few notches.
