Did Armscor drop the 10mm from their lineup? A couple sites show it as discontinued. That was my favorite 'cheap' practice ammo.

I don't see any, but doubt they stopped making it.

The HPR 165gr there is the best thing available now and a little stronger.

I found it strange that a few sites where I'd purchased Armscor in the past mentioned "discontinued." So, moving on... I headed over to Ammo Supply Warehouse (tnx) and ordered up a few boxes the HPR 165gr, and 1 box of the $21 Prvi Partizan 180gr. That's back down to the old Armscor pricing.

  Do you have a link to the place where it said discontinued?

  I'm wondering what Prograde has to do with all of this. BVAC (maker of USA Armscor) was purchased by Prograde and now that they are ramping up production, it could be the end of Armscor until they get a contract with another maker. If I had to bet on who they would turn to that would be Fiocchi.

Cheaper than Dirt and Midway are two I recall. I went back to get a link and can't find the listings now.

Something is up. I bet the stash is drawing down until they get a new company to produce it.

I miss the Armscor when it was widely available.

  I got a response from Martin who is the CEO of Armscor:

Armscor / Rock Island Armory Who said it was discontinued? I just introduced 2 new models this year plus the 2 from last year. Martin CEO

  He could have ammo and pistols confused. Waiting for another response.

Though it would make sense that since they are introducing 10mm handgun models they would continue with their 10mm ammo production.

I know about the two first models. What are the two new ones? Somehow I missed it!

They are now offering an "enhanced" version with a light rail, etc. I only know this because my buddy just ordered a few 1911's, one of them being a RIA.

I almost got him to order a 10mm RIA, but he ended up getting the .45 instead. He still might get a 10, as I think he has one more handgun permit to use up.

   If the two companies are separated enough, he might not know about the ammo and why I didn't get a response back. If what I think is going on with BVAC it could be a done deal or they are moving to someone else to make it.

Here they are:

Oh, and I believe the other two models are "Commander" sized models introduced at the Shot Show.

Edit: Here is the mid sized version:
