Check out this thread. I had the same problem, but our awesome admins came to the rescue and it's fixed now. It's your adblocker, probably.

"Training" prices are only slightly more expensive than White Box, although a reman product. They have some interesting stuff in their other lines. Lots of out of stock, which may now be a bigger issue for them.

All of the "normal" (.40, 9mm, .223/5.56) stuff they carry, I am set up to reload, but I may find something...

Q: Are you really discriminating against people who voted for Joe Biden?

A: Yes, we are, and for good reason. Joe Biden ran on a campaign built on the most radical gun control platform we've ever seen. If it was up to him and his administration, companies like ours wouldn't exist. If it was up to them, firearms and ammunition manufacturing would become a nationalized industry meant to serve only the military and police.

We are a company who believes in the Second Amendment as a first principle. The right to use basic human technology to prevent your life from being taken is something that transcends politics, but unfortunately, there is one particular political ideology who seems hell bent on disrupting this balance of power between the citizenry and the government.

If you voted for Biden, we suggest you become familiar with his campaign promises as it pertains to gun control so you never do that again, or, we suggest you sell your firearms to someone who is more interested in preserving the rights that make up the fabric of our nation.

A noble sentiment for certain, but I "roll my own" and have done so almost exclusively for 20 or so years now. In fact the only "factory" ammunition I have at present was purchased in response to several threats to our fundamental rights, and is considered a currency of sorts in case of tyranny.

Default Update: Fenix Ammo WILL give free stuff....to Jews

Christians, like the recently targeted Christian school where 6 Christians were murdered? Yeah, y'all are on your own, m'kay? Bahai, Buddhists, Zoro Astrians and other religions under attack....nothing for y'all, either.

Fenix Ammunition makes donation to fight antisemitism
By Tom Knighton | 12:30 PM on March 08, 2022


Antisemitism is one of those things, like any form of racism, that has no place in our world. At this point in history, we should recognize that superficial differences are kind of irrelevant and what really matters is what’s in one’s heart.

In other words, we should unite behind a hatred of communists, as any decent people would.

Unfortunately, we don’t live in that world. We live in this one.

In this one, we’ve seen a number of Jews targeted for violence because they were Jews. Some are trying to address that, and Fenix Ammunition just did something very cool to help.


Many of you reading this know that I created a brand called The Pew Pew Jew. The focus behind my brand is to educate Americans on their Second Amendment rights (including children) but with a focus on Jewish firearms ownership. The country has seen an uptick in antisemitic attacks from murders and beatings in New York to hostage situations in Texas, to more attacks in California. Many Jews now have the urge to begin their journey into the world of firearms. Be it, ownership, training, or just being comfortable around firearms.

Now, in conjunction with Black Tie Guns and C.A.C. Tactical, both Jewish owned FFLs in Texas, a series of firearms training events are scheduled to educate those Jews who are ready to take up their personal defense. We all know ammo is expensive and for a group of 15-20 people shooting, the cost could be high. That is why I want to publicly thank Fenix Ammunition.

Fenix Ammunition has stepped up to help battle antisemitism and has become an ammo sponsor to the first batch of training events. With Fenix Ammunition’s generous sponsorship, we were able to keep the event free of charge to those Jews who wished to attend as well as those in the future.

That’s a lot of ammo, and considering how much ammunition is going for in this day and age, that’s a generous donation.

Fenix Ammunition is partially known for its bombastic tweets that pull absolutely zero punches, sometimes even against those in the gun community.

However, the truth is that they really do seem to believe in the Second Amendment and are doing what they can to promote it, particularly among a population that has been specifically targeted by some of the worst in society.

Antisemitism is real, unfortunately, and some of these animals want to hurt Jewish people simply because they’re Jewish. That means Jews would do well to arm themselves, learn how to use their firearms effectively, and prepare for the worst.

Much respect to Yehuda Remer, the Pew Pew Jew himself, and to Fenix Ammunition for taking some real, tangible steps to end violent antisemitism by making Jews bad targets for such people.

Seriously, a few of these bigots end up shot for their troubles and their like-minded brethren will think twice about targeting the Jewish community anymore.

The same goes for any minority that feels they may be targeted by those who dislike them for simply being who they are
. If you’re worried about any so-called hate crime, then you might as well prepare to defend yourself from it.

Good on Fenix Ammunition for stepping up.

Such bullshit. Fenix printed the message on their product. It's OBVIOUS who "paid for it." This would actually be funny if it wasn't backed up by threat of a fine and jail. Is Michigan going after all the businesses that promoted the blm, plastering their logo all over their products? That's advocating for specific political candidates and a specific political party. Funny, I recall no threatening letters over all that.
