Sigh.... Just when I thought I was going to save some money.

I need to find a pouch to carry my .357 speed strips. I have a speedloader and pouch, but the grip of my model 19 don't like it.
I like the speedstrips, but can't find a pouch.
Found one on amazon, but it's tight, and NO BELTLOOP.

Anybody else going?

I'm conveniently working both days that weekend. Probably for the best, I'd get thrown out for punching out the guy who tries to sell the anti-fog crap.

TAKE A NUMBER!​

anti-fog crap?

There's a rather obnoxious, elderly guy who brings a humidifier and a bunch of what I could best describe as glycerin soap base, and aggressively panhandles it. He'll grab your glasses, cell phones and anything else made of glass, and smear his stuff all over it. Then he'll hold it up to the steam coming out of the humidifier like some magic trick. Look, no fog! Well no crap, you just slimed my goddamned glasses. Prick actually scratched my Oakleys.

I liken him to the homeless guy on the corner with the gas station squeegie and the windex bottle full of ****, except he's at a gun show, and he wants 20 bucks an ounce for his snake oil.

How many times can you pay your five dollars to look at the same old stuff every time. Was there a few months back and went through the whole place in less than half an hour, more junk and crap not gun related.

It's like going to the flea market. I never buy anything, but I go anyway, because you never know what might turn up.

I gotta admit, the desire to attend has declined since I started selling guns for a living.

Where do you enjoy the chance to put your hands on new toys first out of the box?

I work at Cabela's. And yes, I do enjoy being the first one to play with everyone's next gun.

 

[Bradsknives]

I'll be there with mine and Knife Lady's blades.
I'll try not to bring any flea market crap!!!

You and Knife Lady don't bring crap to the gun show. A lot of the stuff seen there looks like it's sat in the back of a closet forever.

Maybe you should change your user name to "coonfinger"

Crap. I wish I remember what you looked like from a M&S.
I'm in Cabela's all the time, usually with my brother repeter.

I like going and looking around. I try to leave my money at home, but I just end up making and extra trip to the ATM. It is a sickness perhaps. I have limited myself to looking for specific items and end up talking myself out of any extra purchases. There are a few dealers I look for. They seem to have ESP and know what I want and have it proudly on display when I walk up.

Here's a shot from one of this years meet n shoots:

 

[itsgreg]

i'll be there with plenty of ammo, and hope to buy a lot more guns

 

[meyer4589]

I will probably be there trying to unload a couple guns so I can free up some cash for an M1 Garand purchase

 

[lowendgenerator]

...WOW.

From the way you guys are making it sound I'm not so sure its worth the trip up from Rensselaer anymore............

The rest of the show isn't nearly as bad, it's just that one guy. Promise.
