can you buy 9mm lead ammo?

[Novascotiaguy]

I aologize in advance guys as I did a survey of this category and ran a search but I didn't find an answer . . .

I recently purchased a handgun and want to use it at a local indoor range over the winter, but the only allow lead bullets - I'm not at the point where I want to re-load my own ammo yet . . . can it be bought from a retailer?
Thanks!

Wolf makes lead 9mm.
Sean at Freedom Ventures (Halifax) has some of his product. not sure if he has lead. We prefer you shoot jacketed indoors. Less smoke and dirt.

Wolf offers re-manufactured 9mm with lead bullets. SFRC sells it.

Some ranges don't have enough of a backstop for jacketed bullets. Lead contamination isn't that big of a problem if you have adequate ventilation; the solution to pollution is dilution.

Besides which, lead exposure isn't significantly different between lead bullets and jacketed ones with an exposed base. Most of the airborne lead comes from the primers. The smoke from lead bullets is mostly caused by the lube.
