Is it safe to say, you could find almost anything gunwise at this show? Albeit price dependent, I've become very focused on particular firearms the older I get. There is only so much time and money. I think I am going to bring my son with.

This is just one half of the show. One half. Zoom in.

This is just one half of the show. One half. Zoom in. You need more than one day to really take it all in. When you see a single table/display case that a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of pistols in it, you realize you are not at a normal gun show.

That's not even half.  That's just the downstairs - that's less than 1/3 of the show.

The show will be a waste of time.  Guns will be 20% over what you can get them for online and ammo will be 50% more.  The only only way to get a deal will be to sit outside with money and catch people on the way in.

HOW CREDIT CARD FRIENDLY ARE VENDORS and how friendly are aisle and snak bar deals?

Hows the food? Boiled hot dogs or more like Big Town offerings?


Room is booked for the weekend....

Add Mondo's for not cheap Italian. Boss Hawgs and BurnCo for BBQ. Prairie, American Solera and Cabin Boys for beer. Roosevelts has a good food, especially the Chipotle fries, and a gaint beer menu. Neighborhood Jam for breakfast. Mother Road Market is one of those public square deals with a bunch of small restaurants and a full bar. Chicken and the Wolf there is pretty good. Savastano's for deep-dish pizza.

Probably not going to be able to get off work again, but thought I would drop some suggestions.

I went once probably10 years ago. Came home with a 8" model 29 nickel finish. Good shape no box. Paid $700 which was too much at the time but it didn't matter because it was just something I wanted and hard to find

Usually it is at Tally's for Saturday, as Tally is ready for the show crowd and brings in extra help to get you fed in a hurry. Plus the food is great with large portions for the money.

But always taking suggestions, and was maybe thinking a bit more upscale at the Black Bear on Sunday.

Let me know your thoughts.

I stayed @ a pretty sketchy hotel I found on Priceline this spring, and other than the noise, I didn't have any issues.  I don't have fancy hubcaps, however.

I guess I am in, both for the museum on Thursday and Sat/Sun at the Tulsa Fairgrounds.  I'm looking forward to the Wanenmacher show.  It has been years since I've been and now that I am recently (semi-)retired, I finally have time to go.

My FIL lives in South Tulsa, so fortunately no hotel room for me.  I'm driving this time so it is a 1700+ mile roadtrip each way.  Why not fly?  I am not masking up for any airline.

Now the important question, where do y'all like to go to dinner?  Two of my favorites in South Tulsa are Mahogany's and Charleston's.  If near downtown, almost anything around Cherry Street is good.  If by myself, I gravitate towards local cheap eateries like Coney I-lander hot dogs, Goldie's burgers and Hideaway pizza.  I may even stop at Braum's on the way out of town.  

See y'all in November.

I go every year and get a table with a group of guys.  Been doing it with my father and his friends since high school.  It's a great place to buy/sell/trade firearms.  It's not quite the same show it was back in the early 2000s, but still 11x bigger and better than anything else (11 acres, indoor, heated/cooled).

We always have a reservation at Mahogany's.  Their appetizers are the absolute best.  If you go, try the Lobster Cargo and Trout Dip.  I'm also partial to their 16oz Bone-In Bison Filet (when available).
