Went for my 4th or 5th year in a row.  Very disappointed this year.

Lots of high priced Lugers, lots of $4000 Winchester 94s, lots of overpriced junk.  Hardly any newer tactical gear, not many new weapons, almost everything can be had for lower prices on the net.  

Why do I go to this show every year?

ETA: Guy in back selling WWII and aviation art was fantastic!

Yeah i went there yesterday. I had 4 cocktails and bought 2 boxes of ammo and 5k primers. The show really sucked. From here on out i will only probably go to the Crossroads show. Still the best show i have ever been to and will continue to go to is the SAR show in Phoenix. It is worth the cost to travel to.

Thanks for the report, now I don't feel so bad about missing it.  Just too many other things to get done this weekend...

But we should be supporting the small, independent sellers instead of the big evil Bud's Gun Shop

Good they can pay more than things are worth.

I still enjoy going, there are a few deals to be had, and I mean VERY few.



Almost everything can be had on the internet for far less than gunshow prices.
