At this time EA does not support, promote, or warranty the use of EA ammunition on the Keltec P50. The Keltec P50 uses a straight blow black recoil system, not a delayed blowback system. This runs the risk of case separation with EA Ammunition. This separation runs the risk of a section of the case neck being left behind during case extraction creating an over-pressure event when the next round is chambered and fired.

Just to better understand the shortage of ammunition and reloading supplies across the industry and calibers. The most obvious is the Chinese Virus along with the supply chain issues and shortages across the country and the world at large.

For us as an ammunition manufacturer, there are several other very important things at play. Cartridge casings are made up of about 70% copper and 30% zinc. Other components for the casings are the cups and primers not to mention the projectiles which are also made with copper as well.

Ammunition manufacturing is not the only industry that uses copper. There are millions of things that need copper to make a product. Just a few household items such as Cellphones, Refrigerators, Cameras, Televisions, Washing Machines, Desktop Monitors, Dryers, Air Conditioners, Laptops, Dishwashers, Coffee Makers, Radios, Blenders, Cooking Stoves, DVD Players, and Toasters.

We only open up preorders for ammunition when we have secured all the components needed. Securing components has been very difficult and very expensive, to say the least. I am not happy with the prices of purchasing supplies. These high prices have forced us to raise our prices due to the prices we are charged for supplies.

So we hope this gives you a better understanding of the shortages, price increases, and such. We didn’t give up in 2012, or 2016 and we will not give up now.

Thank You and God Bless,

Lisa
