Ridiculous admission.
High prices. Shady merchants. Smelly suburban warriors who think they are tactical badasses. Not to mention the odd people who want to yell about politics as you wait in line. There's always that old dude that came alone in line who won't shut up. No thanks. |

I need some optics for some AR15 pistols I've built, so I'm going to look through some before I decide. But I can't get there until Sunday. By that time, they will run out of half sour pickles!

I'm hoping to make it. Not looking for anything in particular but might be tempted by some cheap blaster-grade 308.

I always go and rarely buy. Where else can you put your hands on as many guns in a short period of time?

Was there today - non gun items sold OK, firearms and ammo were really slow. I've got 7.62x39 well below what it's listed for online and it didn't move today. Supposedly the show is sold out so far as tables are concerned, though I'm betting it's thanks to the large NRA display.
I'm betting there will be some nice bargains on Sunday. |

Gun prices are at near historic lows on many things. I would hope the pricing at the show reflects that. Also, the ammo prices I have seen (particularly on 5.56/.223) are lower than I have noticed in several years (perhaps pre-Sandy Hook). I will actually be right next door to the gun show for a birthday party today, and probably STILL won't bother with the $12 admission.

I had not been there for quite a while. The show seemed even bigger (did they add onto the Expo Center?). Excellent prices. Quite crowded today and it was hard to find parking. The Garand Collectors had a nice exhibit. Much more modern stuff and less C&R than you might have seen there 10-15 years ago. Willards next door was also great, but expensive. They have expanded so there is plenty of seating now.
Lots of women attending as well as many Blacks and Hispanics. And people there with their kids. Admission was free with NRA renewal, which was itself discounted by $10. I'll be attending the next show. |

I usually drop in if I have nothing going on that weekend, but have missed the last couple. This this time it was due to my pilgrimage to Green Top yesterday and needing to spend the day today working around the house. Maybe next time.

I went. Won't be going again for a while
Those that saw good deals, I wish I was shopping for the same things you were 9mm range ammo was $10-$20 more per 1000 than I can get it delivered to my door...and that's before tax There were wild fluctuations in price for the same item...gen 5 glocks for example...I saw gen 5 g19s for $550...and I saw them for $625...even at $550 ($563 if you add the price of admission to the show) its not a deal, especially since it's a "cash price".... Small parts for ARs and Glocks were more expensive than I can buy them for on Amazon Even the target seller I normally buy targets from wasn't there I'd love to hear what people thought were good deals at the show...maybe I'm not looking in the right places....hell, ammo was cheaper across the parking lot at Walmart....and it's free to get in there |

I expect the next one to be an absolute shit show...with news crews. Probably good it took place this weekend and not next, during this news cycle.

It sells out years in advance. Often there are a few cancelations but they get bought up. It's the gun market. It's slow, until it's not. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I got a good deal on an optic from Kenzie's, that has two booths at this show. It was worth my time and the entry fee just for this purchase, plus I got to see a bunch of other optics I've been reading and seeing ads about.
I also got to look around at guns I've not considered before. Actually SEE and HOLD them, not just watch YouTube videos. They did run out of half sour pickles by Sunday! |

I didn't see any of the other stuff. The few "deals" I saw wouldn't have made up for the $26 admission price and the gas it took to haul my ass up from Quantico!
