your Glock. Let's treat him well so he will come back!




We are going to start offering a FEW tables at our
future shows for a new type of survivalism.. we are calling it
everyday survivalism. Many of you are already familiar with the real time pain
relief cream a natural products that offer no side affects. It works on the
inflamation it fixes the cause of the pain it doesn't block the pain like so
many other methods of relief. Not a believer? Stop and get a free sample what do
you have to loose? Look for the real time pain relief banner. Not only are our
gun rights under attack so is our choice in natural healing, are you aware that
A LOT of natural herbs and supplements can longer be sold in the US? Help to
educate and spread the word to protect our rights to nature health and
healing.Lafayette







Happy New Year and
we hope to see you at the show this weekend!

Keep in mind that Friday is optional for the vendors, so all won't be there on Friday.

Same old vendors. Same high prices. Best 5 bucks you can spend to watch people.

 

[other dave]

Who is "I Love my Glock"?

 

[Spikedog]

[Kirk Freeman]

Be there Saturday. Don't buy all the reloading supplies on Friday, boys.

I Love My Glock

I was concerned that it might be Nick "the Glock butcher" Vigliucci.

 

[smokestack]

It's down by the "original" Arni's on the north end of town. Just east of Elmwood Ave and 18th St. I'll be there.

 

[nipprdog]

Reminder bump.

 

[ForceTA308]

Anyone make it to this show today? How was it? Planning on going tomorrow.

 

[CAT 1000B]

I just got home from it. I go to a lot of shows, and this was the worst I've ever been to. Almost any show is worth a half hour drive to get there, but after being at this one, if I lived across the street from it, I still wouldn't have gone. If you are looking for reloading supplies, there weren't any.

 

[ForceTA308]

I'll be in town on other business anyway, probably going to stop by. OP's original email said that vendors weren't required to be there today, hopefully there are more tomorrow.

Did you miss this in the OP;

Keep in mind that Friday is optional for the vendors, so all won't be there on Friday.

While there was some usual stupid prices, there were a few deals. Guy just inside the entrance is selling new Gen 3 Glocks for $489 and Gen 4 for $529. Ammo guy sellng PMC 308 for $16/box.

 

[CAT 1000B]

I didn't miss that in the OP. There were a few empty tables to fill tomorrow, but they are going to have to have a lot of great stuff to make that show worth while. Your opinion of the show may be different. This is just mine.

 

[yeti rider]

It seems to me, the gunslinger shows in Lafayette have had way more of a flea market feel in the past. I'll probably skip this one.

 

[RA8]

I went today. Yeah there were very few vendors, and maybe more tomorrow. But this price thing is ridiculous. There are way too many parts and accessories priced WAY to high over what is fully available and in stock online. Something has to give, I wasted 5 bucks today. It's still the same sad story from everyone. "people are paying this, this is going for way more, you cant find my stuff anywhere" blah blah blah. Not even worth it. The flea market comment above is dead on. However, the NON gun stuff is always fun to see. The hand made goods, the copyright infringing patches(funny nonetheless), home shop leather and holsters etc.. are still great.

Edit: I love seeing georgia optics booth, you get to actually see high end sights and scopes in person.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Reloading components?

Good grief, I've become one of . . . "those people"!

 

[Electronrider]

Yep another +1 for gunslinger shows being crap. Most of the vendors are " personal collections for sale" types, and vendors STILL think that there is some great panic going on for parts and ammo. I actually laughed at a vendor in the back room with his ammo prices, it was sad. I did see a booth or two that had some primers, but other than that there was no reloading stuff to be found. There were a couple of vendors that had some good handgun prices. I keep hoping that the guy selling all the reloading stuff from the first gunslinger show in lafayette will come back, but I have not seen him in a couple shows. If you are local it is worth the 5 bucks to blow just to get out of the house, but I would not drive any real distance for this one, especially with the 1500 2 weeks away.
