    For those Colt revolver fans I saw 4 snakes: one 6.5 python in royal and in good condition, a nickel king cobra in excellent condition, another python in good condition, and another king cobra in beat the person senseless for letting it look like that condition.

    Pretty sure there was more than that in the building. In my travels to and from the restroom I saw one table with at least 4 snakes....2 King Cobras, one scoped, and 2 pythons. Then there is the 4" blued Python that has been hanging out under our table. Not sure if I am wanting to sell or not....I guess since I have yet to put it out I am probably keeping it for now!

    I thought the show had lots of decent prices on guns. To me it seems like the market caught up a bit. Saw some XDs for $529 even on day 2 and even a Sig AR for under $1K.

    Yeah ammo sucked but if you were looking for a gun I thought it was a buyers' market.

    Plus, it was the least attended show I can remember.

    Went down with the wife early this morning, and enjoyed the time walking around. Not crowded at all.

    Picked up two pounds of Varget, four PMAG 20LR magazines, a Lee 9mm Factory Crimp Die, and two boxes of PMC 308 Winchester. Prices were a little high for the mags and powder, but better than it has been, and they had it.

    I picked up some stuff for my M1 Garand and a NVA bush hat. My son bought a hat from INGO. I had money to buy a rifle but saw nothing there that really jumped out at me.

    I was able to sell my jrc carbine for what I wanted (to a vendor of all people). I was able to buy a m&p pro series core new for $625, I thought that was a deal. 2lbs of varget for $60 no deal there. 250ct 30 cal hpbt 168gr noslers for 48. I didn't even get to walk the whole show I would say between 80-90% though, my boys were ready to leave. Crowd wasn't bad. Given the times for this sport I had a good day.

    I did see a few M&P9's new for $499 which isn't crazy right now and ZX guns had some fair prices as well. However, it was still crazy to see that people actually bought some of the 5.56 ammo at the prices. :spend:

    I hadn't been to the show in a while, the crowds at the last two were kind of a turnoff. That said, I was able to get parts for an AR-15 lower, some flashlights, and a couple of knives.

    And I did not experience gun show BO, which is always a plus.

    Picked up some pieces & parts on my list. Talked to old friends; looked at a rifle that I almost bought. Went to lunch with my brother. All in all a good afternoon.

    Bought a bunch of Jerky.

    We were in town for the Riley Hospital Miracle Ride, so I brought my father in law to the show, his first gunshow ever.

    Ammo was plentiful but expensive. Only deal I found on .22 was a brick of the Aguila Super Colibri's, which I use regularly and need more of, for $35. Unfortunately I didn't come expecting to buy anything other than jerky, so I didn't have any cash left after giving $20 to the jerky guy.

    I thought about buying one the S&W M&P pistols in 22lr. A dealer had them for $299.
    They always have a line and I didn't feel like waiting. So I bought a jumbo pretzel with cheese.

    I picked up some scales for my izula and the belt clip attachment from Knifeladys stand and some SD ammo for the xdm .40

    Never thought I would see 9mm cost more than .45!
