I found an adequate quantity of .25ACP at the Academy Sports store in Dallas on Forest Lane east of US 75.

Hint for DFW area buyers... according to a memo at the customer service desk, all local Academy stores have imposed a 1-box limit on ".22, .223, 5.56, 9mm, .40, .45, 7.62, and .308" ammo and have placed this ammo at the customer service desks rather than at the gun department. (More about the wording of the memo in a minute.) However...

Academy is apparently NOT limiting the purchase of multiple boxes of other calibers such as .25ACP, and they evidently do NOT consider .380ACP to be a 9mm round. If you want to buy less-popular pistol rounds such as .25ACP, .32ACP, .32 Long, .380ACP, .44Spl, etc., check Academy. When I was there, they had 10+ boxes of the regular "Monarch" house-brand .380ACP 95gr FMJ (which is made by Prvi Partizan) at the usual asking price.
The staff at this particular store had apparently taken the language on the memo literally and had placed 7.62x54R and .308 Marlin Express ammo at the CS desk, where the boxes were piling up. Do NOT go to Academy if you want to stock up on these!
