I finally had a chance to visit the Officer's Store near me in Coatesville. Very nice place. They have a nice assortment of accessories (holsters, mag pouches, flashlights, gloves, belts, clothing, etc), body armor and plates, and even ammo! They also have a gun store in the back where they sell pistols and rifles (didn't go inside though).
I picked up some batteries for my Streamlight, and some ammo for the AR (40 rounds). Not a large purchase but it was satisfying.
Ammo I got was: Independence AR 5.56 (made in Israel, imported by Federal) 5.56x45mm, 55 grain FMJ, XM193I, 20 rounds ea box on sale $8.00 (= $0.40/round).
They also had plenty of other ammo in most calibers (45, 380, 40, 9mm). The 5.56 they had in stock was:
Federal XM855 in metal ammo box, 5.56mm 62gr, Steel Core Green Tip, $224.99/500 (= $0.45/round)
Independence (imported by Federal) XM193I, 5.56mm 55gr, FMJ, $195/500 (on sale, = $0.39/round)
Federal AE223G, 5.56mm 50gr, JHP, $231.49/500 (= $0.46/round)
They have other 5.56, but it's even more expensive and labeled for Law Enforcement Use only. Not sure if they'd only sell it to LE (didn't ask).
