Your theory is solid except for .22LR. I can't figure that one
out.

That will ease up also after everyone has stocked up with the
obligatory lifetime supply. At that point the hoarders and
speculators will be out of the market and things will return to
normal.

I have two .22 cal guns .. a Ruger SR22 pistol and a Ruger 10/22
rifle. When I purchased them the dealer threw in a box of 500
rounds
for each gun.

I also have a couple of boxes that I had purchased previously for
another .22 cal revolver I had. I don't shoot the .22's very
often
so I suspect my stash will last a while.

What I need is .380 ammo. I just bought another handgun earlier
this
week for the first time in a long time. I've been thinking
about a
compact pocket pistol to replace the S&W Bodyguard 380 that I had
but
didn't like. Choices are limited here in MA because of the
famous
"banned" list by the Attorney General's office.

I happened to visit the local gun shop I go to this past
Monday. He
had two Sig Sauer P228s in the case. One had fancy engraving and
pearl grips. Too over the top for me. The other was more plain
but
had nice looking rosewood grips instead of the baseline black. I
liked that one and temptation overcame logic and it went home
with
me. Looks identical to this:

Can you get the Kahr CM9 in MA?
I don't see why not. They're made there.

Maybe it's the size??

I don't think so. There's a version of the very similar Kahr 9mm
(PM9) that *is* MA compliant.

I think it has something to do with the safety or how it operates.
The
fact that there is a "version" of the PM9 that is approved for
sale in
MA makes me think that Kahr designed a unique version specifically
for
sale in MA. It may be that they have not made the same unique safety
design on the CM9.

The CM9 doesn't have a manual safety. That must be the difference.

Bingo. MA is big on safeties. The more the merrier.

I wouldn't buy a semi-auto pistol without one.

You should move to MA. Buy Luddites house. He has a secret room you
could hide in. But then there's the affordability issue. Oh well.
And those damn taxes he avoided.
