[irl104]

Thanks for letting us know. Might go Saturday. It's been a while since I've been there.

 

[Bradsknives]

I'll be there with some blades!

 

[bloodandgutsmurphy]

Is that a good sized show?

 

[WC Deer Hunter]

Is that a good sized show?

No its pretty small.

Ill be there Saturday just to check out amd see if the mayhem ia letting up.

 

[other dave]

Usually about 175 tables.

 

[Jubba]

I am going Saturday morning. I have never been to this show so thought I would check it out.

 

[Mom22byz]

If you're looking for anything other than a handgun or accessories it's a waste. Ammo was stupid and so were long guns.

I'm going over to Bill Goodman's at Hara Arena tomorrow. Hopefully it will be better.

 

[GBolt]

I'll add unless you're going with the intent to buy a scope or a knife you'll be pretty much disappointed.

I checked out the show today. It was a descent show for being smaller. I spent almost as much time visiting with the vendors as I did shopping. Sometimes I think the smaller the show, the friendlier the vendors are.

Ammo was on the high side with 22LR bordering on insane. I saw it as high as $80 for a brick. WTH????? There was a guy that had Tula 22LR on the reasonable side but I didn't buy any. My Mark III is ammo picky so I'll stick with things I know it likes. Besides 22LR is the one caliber I'm actually doing good in.

I picked up a new Ruger LCP magazine from other dave, nothing else begged to go home with me.

Ill go along with that. I think at smaller shows we have more time to sit can converse, but at shows like the 1500 we are constantly on the move answering questions etc.

Alan,
I was going to give your card today to a guy who was looking for a good scope for his AR but he had just talked to you at the show. He pulled out one of your cards with "PST 1-4" wrote on it...lol.

I know what guy your talking about. I thought he was going to pull the trigger today

 

[RGriff69]

I hope he gets back with you. He lives in Indy but I think his dad lives around you somewhere. I've known his dad for a long time and they stop in the shop all the time.

I was gonna stop in and say hello but I did not see your booth. I must have been distracted by something.

 

[Bob Shoemaker]

Ammo was stupid high. However, I didn't see much buying of ammo. Maybe that's a positive?

Its all the way in the south west corner.

2. Did you forget to get dressed when you got up this morning? I didn't know pajamas were the trendy thing.

3. Was the water shut off in Richmond this weekend or was Walmart out of soap? Take a bath/shower dude!!!

8. Customer: "I want one of those knives that shoots the blade out like I see on TV" Me: "Do you mean an OTF auto?" Customer: " No, you know, the kind of knife that shoots a blade out, like a gun". Me: "I'm sorry, I just sold my last one. You might try that knife vendor up there in front".
