I was able to order primers. We’ll see if they ship. Thanks for the tip!
Adding insult to injury - got a 'did you forget something?' email about the 2,000 bullets in my cart this morning.
Also, checked my RMR order again, they have a weird way of doing things, print the shipping label right off, then list your order as complete. They tell you on the website that is the way they do things.
I have several items on backorder with various folks, they'll all hit my card, not sure how I feel about that.
CCI Magnum SP and LP too
Winchester LPP is gone

Picking probably one of the most challenging times to learn reloading, have managed to procure all the necessary components with the exception of one item. The elusive small pistol primer no longer seen in its natural
habitat the gun store. Resorting to extreme measures I found myself surfing GB and to my surprise found an abundant supply selling for small fortune. After another week and coming up empty decided it was time to do it, tossing in a ridicules bid on 1 box of 1000 SPP the waiting game began. Actually it didn't because within ten minutes received notification of being outbid. With $25 for shipping the bid is currently $150.00. Knowing the wrath my wife would give if she ever found out, put fear into me. (Will trade 3X uncirculated silver eagles, random dates for a box of 1000 SPP, shipped).
And the “barter economy” begins.

FWIW Most pistols will pop standard small rifle primers if you can find those at a reasonable price. I did not have good luck with S&B SRP which I believe are designed like CCI #41 to be safer in AR style rifles.
Yes, my CZs will all fire CCI 41 primers with even medium strength hammer springs. If I run out of pistol primers... I have some in reserve.
