    Out of stock already.

    Dang, it said 99+ when I ordered. I wonder if P-F cleaned them out?

    Anything popular is selling out in short order these days. SG Ammo had nothing but CCI snake shot available on their 9mm ammo page last I looked....

    Thoughts on Century Arms Red Army Standard 9mm Luger Ammunition?

    I just posted a case of LE132-1B on Gunbroker at extortion prices to see what will happen.

    I didn’t see the #1 Buck flight control wad shells that started this whole thread, but Federal has other buckshot loads available for order on their website.

    Bumping this thread, anyone heard if the improved version is coming out anytime soon? My backup, le13300, is also out of stock everywhere.

    I just bumped in because I saw the activity. I have a couple of sleeves of LE132 1B which I am zealously protecting.

    I don't think LE132 1B is going to be on Federal's radar for a while.

    My perception was that a lot of folks clamored for it, but apparently they weren't the ultimate decision makers for their agencies and the LE orders didn't come in the quantities needed.

    Consider also that LE has, by-and-large, moved away from the shotgun to the patrol rifle in the last decade.

    The sales just weren't there.

    It would be my guess that somewhere in the bowels of Vista there is a program manager sitting at a desk in a converted supply closet. As his co-workers walk past they whisper to each other "He was a rising star, then he convinced them that LE was ready to move from 00B to 1B, rumor is that the only reason he's still here is because he caught the CEO....."
    Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....

    In my experience, it was an erratic performer. Maybe Federal is just taking a minute to sort it out.

    It's been pretty well hashed over that there were issues in a lot of guns with a stray pellet or two from the 1B, and it seems Federal was not able to sort that out. So I'm not expecting it to be produced again. Eight pellet works and doesn't have the stray pellet issue.
