Because it's called the Indy 1500.

FYI: Some of this is in the INGO FAQ.

"sometimes I get a good feeling"

 

[jjlaughner]

I might actually make it to this one... Looking for a cheap G23 trade-in. maybe...
It's been at least a year since I've made it to a show, seems like I always have bills or payday is not the same weekend! Payday Friday, plus cash in my pocket, and an empty holster that needs filled!

Are there usually particular vendors selling Streamlight/Surefire weapon lights?

I've been to the 1500 6-7 times now but each time I've gone, I've never been in the market for a weapon light so in the mass of humanity and merchandise, I've never noticed if they are sold there.

Linda's Custom Products sell Surefire and Streamlight and are either on the right wall or back wall depending on the building. The Streamlight dealer ( can't think of his name ) sets up either on the left wall of the second room or left wall of the single room building depending on which building they use. He also sales water purifiers.

Both are great to work with and have plenty of my money.

Perfect! Thank you for the info sir!

any vendors going to have a good price on an M&P9 4inch? $550+ is not a good price but I would like to support a local dealer if I can get a fair price.

 

[daspurlock]

When is the best day to go? I've never been so me and my brother are going to try Friday. To aviod large crowds (hoping).

 

[deanald2pt0]

Crowds tend to be smaller on Friday, but if you get there before/at/or shortly after the doors open expect to wait in line to get in. The line is normally minimal by around 4:00.

On Saturday of this past show, there was about a 45 minute wait to get in at 1:00 when I showed up.

Any one know about getting any deals on reloading supplies, mostly primers and bullets? (pistol calibers)

I have just gotten into reloading and I do not know if there are many dealers there and more importantly, whether or not they sell at good prices since I have never looked for that stuff before. Any input would be much appreciated.

Plainfield Shooting Supplies is usually the cheapest in town and they have lines formed for filling out paperwork at the show....the only local shop that's cheaper is in Mooresville and he can usually order what you want for less than PSS

I haven't had to buy 5.56/223 in a while and need to resupply. What are the usual better prices on this in bulk at the show? I know I can get 1000 rds of steel for around $230, but it seems like I remember a few vendors with cheaper than that at the last show but I can't remember? I know 9mm in brass is alway $200/1000 at a vendor or two.

Not really any firearms manufacturers come to the show, but there will be DOZENS of firearms dealers there. I'm sure a number of them will have several of the firearms you want to look at.
