Gonzales - Gun Show

[sam4freedom]

I hear ya Bama, I always justify my trip by stopping by Cabela's. I'll be picking up a weapon light from there after the gun show.

 

[Bama2LA]

Exactly, I don't make to Gonzales very often so might as well make the best of it. Plus I might even stop by the flea market...just because. HAHA!

Don't know about the Gonzalez show but the kenner gun show wasn't that great for sure. When there to stock up on ammo and left with nothing. I will say that one stand near the end with the gun safes had some really nice customized Ar15's for good prices though--for being customized anyway.

I usually pick up ammo cans. The prices seem to stay pretty consistent. Ammo on the other hand... those guys are terrible businessmen, and the buyers are idiots. They must not realize there's this thing called the internet that allows me to find the best price on ammo and have it shipped to my door while I'm in my underpants and watching a movie.

Generally overpriced and junk to me. You can find individuals with good sale items sometimes and it's a good place to get reloading supplies if you can't get to a shop but other than that I avoid them.

Spanky, will you have a booth set up? If so do you have any new shirts in?

 

[Gus McCrae]

I've seen a few deals at the shows. Nothing awesome, but decent deals. Also if you are looking for a beater shotgun, you can usually get a deal, as well as parts.

 

[Bama2LA]

Alright about to head out there in about an hour. If anyone goes out there I'll be wearing a Black polo and jeans with a black paracord bracelet.

Last time I was there the cops put a wand on me? It was over a year ago though and I was their first thing in the morning on opening day. It wasnt a problem because I didnt carry then anyway. Anyway Ill be there later today but I dont plan on buying anything just looking around.

 

[dantheman]

The wife and I will be there today .

I agree completely. That's exactly what I tell my buddy when we go to the show. $650 on an AK I can have delivered and transferred for $400. Ammo at 50% more than I can get it delivered to my door. EVERY time I go I say I won't go back. But then I get bored and apparently have $8 to waste so I go again. I guess you have to view it as an $8 admission to the world's worst gun museum. Sometimes I pick up a mag or some miscellaneous item. Sometimes a vendor has a decent price on a cheaper gun. I got my first Hi-Point at a gun show just for S&Gs. I ended up liking it and bought more at subsequent shows. It's a way to kill a few hours I guess. I wish it was more like a swap meet rather than a venue for dealers to sell new stock at jacked up prices.

On a scale 1-10 I'd say today's Show was about a 2. The Reload guys were selling 9mm 1000 rounds for 250. Umm....that's the same price for factory Federal from wally world. No thanks!

Only one Saiga 12 there today and it was 600 bucks. No thanks! I can get it local or FFL it for less than that. Thought there would be more tactical booths there...NEGATIVE. And everyone was selling their pieces for retail. Greeeeat....

And the people that were there selling their own guns walking around were super proud of their pieces too...wasted the day...GRR!

 

[ronnyftw]

what time does the show end tomorrow? i might swing by if i'm bored enough haha

 

[Snookie]

Save your money for ice cream and popcorn and a date with your main squeeze instead!

You'll get the better deals from people walking around with guns for sale.
After they get a few of the dealer's low ball offers, you can usually pick up stuff at a decent discount. I usually do good selling to individuals and buying from individuals.

I went with a buddy today, picked up 100 rounds of .40 cal. and a decent IWB holster. The real treat was going to Cabela's on the way out. Got a Hogue grip and priced out .40 cal. dies and plates for reloading.

 

[dantheman]

I couldn't make it . Sounds like I didn't miss much .

 

[gsneff]
