Apparently, there is no interest in this show.

How's this show? A buddy was asking me. Didn't know if it's worth the drive from Warsaw.

The show is small. It is $5 to get in which equates to about $.50 per minute to go through the entire place. Based on the prices most vendors have on the products it seems like it is more of a social gathering for gun and knife enthusiast than a place to go buy something.

Agreed, I have never found any real deals at that show.
If you are into Milsurps, this is the show for you, it has more than most shows.

Gotta disagree on no deals, you guys must go through too fast or mean : Any good deals (on things that I"m looking for). Which we're all guilty of leaving the end silent sometimes.

I've only been to 1 show and I saw several branded pump 12's for the >$200 range. Couple .38 rev's I thought were a deal in the $250 range. Bought a Large ALICE pack w/ frame for $20.

There definitely are the stick shock tables ($200 for a Raven .25 ?? ) and a lot of guys set up more interested in talking to their buddy at the next table, than dealing with anyone inquiring about their wares; though.

I will be there on Sunday. Time to renew my membership to ECC.

Planning to come by on Saturday afternoon, as I need to renew my ECC membership, too!

Happily, I will be there with one of the Miguelettes...she's been wanting to go to the range and I think she's ready to move up to the S&W 22A from the Crickett.

Once upon a time Tipton gun show was a bummer. They really turned it around, looking forwards to going.

Tipton County Gun Show

I called the guy today (11/18/11) and he said there are a little more than 200 tables there this weekend. I will be there around 1:30 on Sunday, so hopefully there r some deals left. My top priority is to find a used S&W MP 9mm at a fair price. Can be compact. Second, a used 10/22 cheap that I can customize myself, or find a tactical version with black composite thumbhole stock. Last, a Ruger M77 44 mag, stainless steel, bolt action, used. Obviously, I can only go home with one. If anyone is looking to sell, I would be glad to look at what u have when I arrive.

Thanks,

I was wondering about both of you...

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

OK Bill, now I will be there, first thing Saturday morning. Last night, Mrs Snooploggydog outlined our weekend family agenda and changed up my plans. She was generous enough, to allow me 30 minutes of free time, to hit the gun show.

 

[harmonn@att.net]

Well, what's the verdict? Any good deals today at the Tipton Gun Show? Worth making trip from Indy for a handgun tomorrow, preferably a S&W MP 9mm? Did anyone by any chance check the prices on one used?

Thanks,

I made it there around 3:30 p.m. with Miguel Jr. Little Miss Miguel was sick all day and couldn't make it. There were some old guys (old to me!) running the booth, but I did renew.

Also picked up some 8mm. All in all, we were in and out in < 30 minutes!

I picked up a LMT SOPMOD, MILSPEC tube and an AR bolt (all new) in a good deal. I can't tell you anything about an M&P.

That was Dick and Terry. I won't tell them that you said they were "old".
