That's probably one caliber that I will never be out of. In the seventies I joined a local range. That was back in the long gone days when most pistol ammo was cheap and plentiful. A lot of people there did not reload or police their brass. Especially from semi autos like .32ACP and .380ACP. Revolver shooters would toss their brass in the trash. Every time that I would go out to practice, I would sweep the spent casings up and put them in a bucket to take home and sort. I'd also go through the trash and grab all the good stuff that was in there. Anything that I didn't reload would be passed along to people who did. Seems that no one wanted .32ACP or .380ACP. Including me. I had no use for either one at the time. A couple years went by and I happened to see a nice, Hungarian copy of a PPK at a gun shop for a great price and picked it up for a song. Got a set of .380 dies and some bullets and started loading some of those thousands of casings. After word got around that some nut was loading for that, people started saving their brass for me. I liked that little round so much that I started collecting some of the nicer guns in that caliber. Not sure right at the moment how many loaded rounds that I have, but it has to be a couple thousand with probably somewhere between 10 - 20 thousand empties cleaned, decapped and sized waiting to be loaded......
It's not as cheap as it used to be, but it's around more. I've seen it recently in the $25 to $30 a box range. Try one of the ammo search engines for options. There are several; I like gun-deals.com and gun.deals

Haha. No, I wouldn't think so. Hope you can find a reasonably priced stock.
You all be safe and God bless.
