Almost everywhere I go, the rifle is still readily available to dealers, and you can even order it from the factory with a tactical folding stock. In the past, the big shortcoming of these rifles was Ruger’s restricting 20-round magazines to law enforcement. Last year, with the introduction of the NRA/ILA commemorative Mini-14, Ruger went back to making their reliable 20-round mags available to dealers through the normal chain of commerce for public sale. (Some states do have a 10-round limit, but if you’re doing business in one of those jurisdictions, you’ve already learned to live with that.) The Mini-14 has proven itself for decades in law enforcement. It has ample accuracy for its purpose, all the more so since Ruger invested millions in new CNC tooling on the Mini-14 production line at their New Hampshire plant. I’ve found the Mini-14 to be extremely reliable, often more so than many iterations of the AR15. It is priced favorably in comparison to most AR-15s. And there are lots of accessories available; not as many as for the AR, certainly, but more than most customers are ever likely to need. A little patience is all you need to send that particular customer out the door with a new Mini-14, extra magazines and other accessories. It’s win-win: He has the peace of mind that comes from having the protection level he perceived himself to need right now, and you have made a sale. But if I was buying now — and there were only empty spaces on the shelf where that type of ammo had been — I would have no qualms about purchasing 55-gr. full metal jacket to protect home and hearth. Tests by FBI and others have shown this particular FMJ round is not likely to over-penetrate and still delivers ample wounding power. Many in the industry have used the term “panic buying” to describe the current shortage of desirable guns and ammo. In the past, panic buying led to hoarding, which then created shortages. In the event of a shortage, would your customer rather have a substitution or go without? If you can help the customer define his real needs, and sell him something Untitled-1 1 that will genuinely serve those needs, you’ve ethically coped with the shortterm shortage. 9 www.shootingindustry.com Substitute?
