View Full Version : Another Tanner show, yay lol
Well against better judgement I'm going to hit the show Saturday morning. Just kind of looking around, perhaps something will catch my eye. That happened to me last time I went in February-got a good deal on a limited model S&W 686 2.5" Lew Horton (from Nov. '84) with the original box/papers, factory original Combat grips along with an extra set of Pach grips.

Glad I do not have the time, a couple of shows ago I ended up taking home a Vickers RTF2 FDE Glock. If I saw on of the new Gray Lipseys limited run Gocks I would end up buying it.

My wife is having her lasik adjusted and we are staying the night in Denver so is ill be swinging by this afternoon.
Khaki pants, dark grey shirt, beard... Hispanic.
Probably after 2pm when we get checked info the hotel.
Got there just after 10, met a guy in the parking lot I sold some of my old motorcycle gear to first. Not a big deal to get a parking spot (north side, when did they put in the drive-in movie screen??!!). No line to get in, stopped by a friend's table, shot the shit for 20 minutes then started wandering.
Good sized crowd though it was easy going up and down the aisles.
I've renewed my interest in S&W wheelies so that's what I mostly was on the lookout for. Met one very nice guy that had a few older Smiths that I appreciated, hope to do business with him next show-it's the only place he sells.
Outside of two guys walking down one aisle that smelled like breweries I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of the great unwashed and thug looking types there.
Mostly plastic fantastic uber tacticool stuff (no surprise frankly), though nothing that really jumped up and yelled for me to take it home.
As far as safes there was one dealer of I think Liberty safes along the north wall. Nice selection though I didn't really look at prices since I'm not in the market.
Overall not a bad way to stay out of the mid-day heat today, my big purchase was a box of .38spl ammo from a friend that gave me a killer deal.

I found some good deals on a nice 10-8 Smith, 39-2 Smith, and Swiss P225 heel mag.
I went. Mostly to meet another member to trade some magazines. Brought $1,000 cash just in case. Went home with all of it. Just didn't see anything I couldn't live without.
Several vendors had Remington Thunderbolt 500 rd. bricks for $30-35 per at the last Tanner show. For anyone looking for it, I would expect there to be quite a bit this weekend.
Missing another one due to a boating trip.

You didn't miss chit. Just a lot of expensive ammo.

I go to mostly work the show with and socialize with friends, so I don't care that ammo is expensive. I do like to see my $900 overpriced AR's every 72 days.
Another Tanner this weekend. Plan on being there on Saturday. Not getting a sense that things will pick up much. Been slow since the new mag laws went into effect. At least there seems to be more 22lr available & prices are getting better.

Had a relative in town so we went to get out of the house.
* Listened to a lot of gun related BS/stories from sellers and those walking around.
* Found a box of Winchester .357 SIG for $10.
* Was curious as to why every fourth table was selling NIB Henry rifles.
Was going to go... I like my Wife's Bodyguard .380 so much I was going to look around for one for me. Woke up with a killer muscle spasm that went from my calf to my middle toe. Tried to not walk anywhere this weekend. Hasn't gone away yet... Hurts like a SOB.
At a marching competition judging. No money to go firearm shopping and I'm not much of a window shopper.

Was there working a few hours each day.
I can never seem to find you guys.
Talked to Ron and sroz as usual.
Got a good deal on an 8lb jug of 1680, well under what it would cost me to order online and pay S&H&Hazmat.
Wish I could say the same for 220gr SMK boolits...

Might as well go to Cabela's. IMHO Prices are the same. What happened to the great gun shows of the past where the prices were a little more"flea market"? 8 bucks to get in, then high prices on ammo AND guns, the BG check, crowds, dudes that don't take a bath, no parking, etc., the heck with it. Don't cost me 8 bucks to get in Sportsman's Warehouse and I can get the same prices there without the other baloney.
...and we can CCW at Cabelas and Sportsmans without some stupid metal detector.
For me Tanner is like going to the circus. I go to see the freaks.

Bag on Tanner all you want, and I'll be right there with you, but I've enjoyed the Pueblo version just about every time I've gone.
Crowd is different than Denver, and size is just about right, IMHO.
I like the layout there. We travel to the P Tanner a couple times most years. It's a decent day trip from the metro area, and nowhere near as congested. At the very least, it gets us out of the metro area, and I've probably spent more there than at Denver Tanner in the last 3 years.
Besides, visiting Pueblo is an adventure unto itself.

I was at the Tanner Sat around noon. Bought two old holsters, a Bucheimer Semi Shoulder for my 2" M&P K frame and a European belt flap for my Walther PP. I was looking for Apex Gun parts and couldn't find them anywhere. I went to the front desk and asked about Apex he said nothing like that in the computer, so I left. Richard you need better signage and let the people that run the place know where you are.
I keep hearing about all the people from here that go to the show but I never find anyone. I think the next show I'll make one of those signs that people hang on there guns to sell as they walk through. It will read "From COAR15 and Lost, Please Help"
Well those that complain about high prices at the Denver Tanner haven't been there lately. I was selling some guns at dealer's cost +$20.00 (2 tone XDS .45 and Sig Nightmare .45)
I used to go to the Tanner show frequently before they raised the price of admission. Mostly just to look around. Hardly ever spent money there. Couldn't tell you how many times I walked around with a thousand dollars in my pocket and didn't buy a thing. I did find a nice Ruger RedHawk in 41 mag once that was tempting. Couldn't quite get to the price I wanted that day. I told the guy if he still had it at the next show I might go ahead and buy it anyways. Went to the next show and that guy wasn't there and haven't seen him since.

What ever you do don't go to the Tanner. I was there for about 35 minutes driving up and down isle after isle in a parade of cars looking for parking. I drove to every business surrounding the Mart as well, nothing, just hoards of people going to the Tanner and the Christmas show. Oh well, four of us, the girls were going to the Christmas show and the guys were going to the Tanner. They don't get a dime from us because we left. Can't imagine why these are scheduled at the same time, I bet next week end the place will be empty.
Had to work today, maybe some tomorrow. Gotta fly Monday, so no show for me this weekend.
I went today, first time in years. I was semi-nearby (Arvada), figured what the hell.....
Yes, the parking lot was a fustercluck, forgot what joy that was. Fairly crowded, but not jammed. Lots o' things to lust after, no dough in my pocket though, of course. Not a bad experience in all, just a drag not buying anything.
^^^ any good deals?
THIS is the place to find deals, IMO.

went about 10am, straight to the back lot, parked. Plenty of spaces at that time.
Hardly anyone in the tanner show, was very nice to walk around and not be standing on top of each other.

As a dealer I asked the same question to the Tanner management. It appears that the Mart does the scheduling and the mart does this every year. I think I am NOT going to setup at the Nov show next year if the Christmas show is scheduled the same weekend again. many times there were more vendors than there were customers walking around.

Thought I would run down to the Tanner before I had to go to work today. It's been a while sence I been there. Found some Magpul AK mags SK clips. I was looking for a AK sling as normal the guy at AK world was not at his both and when he was he was on the phone. Is what it is.
I did see where there was a table where you could buy a bong or a pipe or the Marry Jane shirt or hat. Cause we all know what goes best with a guns. For that reason I won't go back. Not for the reason AK world guy is never at his booth we all know he is never there.

I went to the last Tanner Show. Wandered around for about 3 hours, looking to see if there was anything I couldn't live without. Nope. Either I'm getting old and jaded(distinctly possible), or the vendors are doing a horrible job of making their products attractive (also possible).
If my refund shows up tomorrow (doubtful) I'll run up there Saturday afternoon to see if there's any decent bulk ammo in 9 & 45.

With the donkeys out of the picture, why not. IMO this is merely a snippet of what's happening across the country. When vendors like PSA, DSArms etc. have more OOS, then inventory.

Not that busy as I thought it was. Was there at 9am and out around 10am.
Got busier after 10, the guy I help sold 5 guns and a bunch of other stuff so a good day.
Got there around 11, left about 1. Felt busy to me. The only thing that really jumped out at me was a very nice S&W 29-2 (those were the last of the pinned barrel/recessed cylinder models). However it was from a dealer, marked as a consignment piece and he wouldn't budge on the price of $995 (no box etc) + fees.
I bought a wallet for $20 and some cashews from the Mountain Man guy, that was it lol (good thing I got in for free). Talked to a few old friends I hadn't seen in a while and got set up for a pass for the Collectors show in a few weeks.
Not a horrible way to spend some time on a day with crappy weather.

I saw that one too, nice 29-2. They wanted $995 with no box or papers?!?!?; That is too much.
Went with the boy today and it was actually a pretty good time (for once in a long time) not as busy as the last time and found a decent deal on some Morgan dollars and .223 bullets. I noticed a head shop table that was a first but I haven't been in a while so I'm not sure if that's new... But I did see a lot more small knife makers there and they had some nice looking pieces.

Saw him also. I slowed my walk as I passed, as my brain was processing, he asks "you smoke?" I said "No, I don't." He says, "Well it's time to start." He may have had the best of who knows what intentions, but that really pissed me off. I hope my glare revealed my sentiments. Opinions vary, but I don't feel it has a place at a gun show.
I agree pot/alcohol and guns aren't a good mixture do what you want but have a little common sense mixing something that lowers your judgement and a firearm. I should also mention I really enjoy seeing the respect shown during the national anthem the show literally stops and pays 100 % attention that was my favorite part of going.

First time I've been in a couple years, it was kinda odd. A few of the same faces/booths, quite a bit of new stuff, including BBQ sauce a table selling bongs and other paraphernalia.
More "buyers" than the past today. Seemed most we were dealing with were buying their first gun. Most of those were for the wife, parents, daughters. Not the normal "I'm buying this for my wife" crap. All parties were present and trying things out. Got the sense this may be the run-up to the election.

I haven't gone since the big book dealer quit going.
Did Randy of RD Books quit going altogether or did he just miss a show?
I was thinking of going for the first time in about a year to see if he had a Colt Book on the Dual Cylinder Revolvers.
I will search for his website if he has quit going.

I just have two STEN Mark 2 kits. They don't hardly take up any room on the table.
We only have 5 BM59 kits remaining in stock and have sold out of the magazines.
I went up this afternoon and set up at the TANNER show.
I hope we get to see some of the members from this forum!

Left there about an hour ago, heard complaints of them being backed up. Most vendors told customers to come back Sunday.
Got there late near closing to scope out a few things but will be there first thing in the morning for opening before heading back down to the Springs.

Yep. Went down this morning. Came back this afternoon sporadically for an hour or 2, but back down again about how the last couple hours. I guess the FBI NICS was having the problems. Ruined what looked like a promising day.

Thanks for the response.
I will try to make it down there today.
I went this morning. Mostly to walk around and browse. Plenty of parking and not really crowded. Figured it would be that way with the Broncos playing at 11 this morning.
I did overhear a vendor on the phone with someone from yesterday telling them their background check went through.
Used my usual strategy and stuck $500 in my pocket. Seems every time I go there with money I never find anything to buy.
I went Saturday, made my usual trek around the place looking for the always illusive APEX Gun Parts booth. Never found it as usual and as usual I asked at the front desk and no one knows who they are or where they have a booth. It seems to me that if somebody was going to set up a booth and if they were trying to drum up business maybe they would have a sign and maybe they would use their business name to register, but that’s just me being silly. I still feel good for having tried, gives me something to look for at every Tanner show, I have confidence one year I will find it. In they mean time there is about five things I will just order from the web site.

We have a different inventory that we just take to local shows,,, not parts or magazines.
I had STEN Mark 2 kits and bayonets plus a lot of military slings.
With the live inventory of the new web site it is not like before where we can just take material from the warehouse and then bring back what didn't sell.
I did hand out a bunch of business cards to people needing Mosin parts, etc so they can order off the web site.

Saturday was still a good day, just could have been an excellent day had the CBI/NICS been up more than half the day. And from a personal perspective I managed to sell 2 guns. Wasn't there on Sunday, but hear it was extremely slow. Expected as the Broncos game started at 11:00.

Went Saturday, saw a mint ban era Arsenal SA-93 thumbhole stock and all for a steal at $750.. these are selling for $1000-$1300.. Didn't pick it up though I knew I should.. Went back 1st thing this morning and someone walked out with it right before I got there. :(

The past two weekend's there has been local gun shows in Colorado Springs.
No real differences in customers buying trends, I found good buys on 9MM and 5.56 at the Denver Bullets tables.
I expect TANNER to be no different, just another slow Colorado Gun Show..

Thanks for the heads up on the Christmas show. I went last year when that was happening and drove around for about a half hour looking for a place to park and just left. I said then I would never go to a Tanner when something else was going on at the Mart. Maybe if crowds are down they will learn from it and look at an event calendar when scheduling.

The same people have been pimping the same over priced (oops) RARE & COLLECTIBLE shit for decades. Outside of their tables being moved around it's the same people. Like Mick (or did his kid take over) and his $60 Glock or M1A mags. Gentlescam Dave (or is he now a reverend?) The father, son team with 20rd COLT and Universal mags with post 94 price tags and display glass that hasn't been cleaned since it rolled off the factory floor.
The 2 guys with mismatched number bring back mausers still asking $600+ BECAUSE they're bring backs. Even though they've been sporterized to shit. Semi decent monte carlo stock with sideways sling swivel, stripped out scope holes, crown that's seen more use as a door opener than the range.
Yeah the usual suspects. It's been years since i attended however if not these guys specifically, Some crew who could be their doubles.
There's some deals and good vendors who price their products fairly.

One guy had an early 10/22 with metal trigger guard for $150 with two mags. I picked up a Hi Power clone with two mags for $150. I’ll post a picture over in the Photo Gallery so I can get my name on a list.

No wonder parking was non-existant: fuggin pothead expo is going on next door. Hoppes and Patchouli oil..what a combo. Done on purpose?
I tried going today. Got as far as thinking about it and decided against it and just stayed home.
I was getting ready to go to the gun show today and saw the show is competing with the dope show in the adjoining area of the merchandise mart. Tanner will have to wait until the next show for my money now. Guns and dopers don't mix.
Thought I found a real nice deal on a CZ 1911A1, but the rear sight was moving around in the dovetail if you breathed on it wrong. Another Tanner come and gone with very little of interest.

I could barely move away from our tables.
There were a lot of customers who came over from the INDO Expo,,many of them were open carrying handguns.
That is a CASH business and so the owners have many concerns about security.

It was stuck in with some used regular modern pistols and so I ALMOST missed it!

I made a great purchase of a Model 103 High Standard Sport King in excellent condition, it was even clean!
Those old HS pistols have such nice triggers.
Its a definite keeper, I owned a HS Dura-matic back during High School and this is nicer than that gun.
A friend bought an original COLT AR15 scope for $200, and I saw one of the later compact EO-Tech scopes sell for that same price.

It was crazy crowded on Saturday and I'm getting over some surgery so I wasn't feeling good and left before making it through everything.

The Gent was helping a widow sell off her husbands WWII collection, and since he was a Marine vet most of it was Japanese.
You don't see many Type II takedown paratroop rifles for $1300!
The selection of Type 99's (with Mums) was good and 1 Type 38 carbine.
There were also some cool swords and issued knives & machetes.

If anyone is going to the tanner show in Denver tomorrow, I have a request. The last time I went, I vaguely remember a vendor set up near the middle in one of the two or three rows farthest from the door that had a few older Troy rails on his table. I can't remember the name or contact info for them, but I am looking for one of the older TROY TRX Extreme rails, the longer the better. If you happen to see them, please make note of their name/contact info. I won't be going to the show but would really appreciate the information. Or another lead on one of those rails. I really don't want to change out the barrel nut on this rifle but would like to be able to swap between the current rail that uses the TRX attachement and one of the "Extreme" rails as well.
Thanks and enjoy the show[Beer],

Picked up 500 rounds of American Eagle .45acp 230gr fmj for $160, was happy with that. Sold my 1911 grips and Benchmade Griptilian, that made the ammo $40 woohoo. A friend was selling small safes, said things started out slow but picked up Saturday afternoon, not sure how today went. Another friend sold off a few handguns but ending up buying a couple more so I think he's breaking even-he sets up at all the shows, repeated how slow it was compared to others.

I went this morning and found a brand new MagPul SGA stock I have been hoping to find. Bright Orange version.....$50 new in the box. Included a brand new matching forearm!!!! I was damn happy with that find. Online they still go for a hundred or so.
There were a few pretty good deals this show. Some of the same asshats are still there doing/selling the same stuff I've seen since 2014, but this was definitely one of the better shows I've seen.
I have been hoping that gun shows would be worth going to again. The last 5 or 6 years have been horrible and I usually leave empty handed. I miss going and hunting / haggling for a good deal.

Everyone excited as Iam for the upcoming tanner! I pass so many signs on the way to work near the merchandise mart, I cant keep it in!
I havrn't been to one of these since probably 2005. Some years before that I would buy cans of ammo for decent prices. The internet has certainly changed things.
I'm sure my almost 7 year old son would LOVE to go to the gun show.
Update: Took my kids today. Show is definitely bigger than 12 years ago. I saw a few tables with some pistols priced 15% above what they can be found for online. Ammo prices very high across the board. Lots of ar15s for sale, none of those under 530usd.

OKAY, time for the next TANNER gun show...
I wonder if they have made any changes since the last show?

The date on the signage?

The color of the vendor stickers.
Will have some new Blackhawk .50 cal ammo cans for sale at $12 each cash only. I will only be there on Saturday only. These are "mil spec". Walmart sells them for a little over $18. Will be just behind the first set of restrooms, one row ahead of Dad's.

Well, they added hourly announcements about having guns cleared and tied.
I hope Sunday is a better day for sales..

I held the bullet today from the most recent shooting. It was found in a nearby vendor's stuff well after the fact.
Said vendor notified the Adams County Sheriff's office of his find. Said he hadn't yet heard back from them.
Talked to someone that was involved in the first response. He said if he hadn't shown up with his IFAK and a CAT for a medic that was nearby and first to treat, they guy might have bled out. CAT, clot, and Israeli bandage managed the wound until the bus arrived. Said the bullet blasted his tibia and a huge chunk of calf out.

I carry one of those israeli quick clot sponges in the first aid kit in my car. It wouldn't help much in that case though as it might not help the guy. I think I saw some of those on the end of one row at the last show I went to.

Time for a change perhaps?

I would happily sell out all that gun show material to one buyer.
Working 7 days a week is more than I really care to do.
My typical day at APEX starts at 8AM and ends at 7PM, Monday thru Friday.

New Security at the TANNER show... they all look like DoD security contractors!
You get stopped and screened at the dealer entrance.
I was in the line that ran out of badges and the delay there led to a 45 minute wait for a hand cart to bring in our goods.
I saw what was happening and walked out .. wife dragged me back in .. I was really hoping to get to the Air Show in Colorado Springs this weekend.
So, some stuff (on my side of the tables) will be priced to really move, don't hesitate to make an offer!

I guess no more sneaking in the side by the guard I know to get to my friend's table.
Went this Monday morning and looked around. Pretty much the same exact stuff that's been at every show for the last fifteen years or so. Enjoyed my little bit of exercise and left empty handed.
I was there also, disappointing. I don't believe I will make the trip from Colo. Springs anymore.

I'm going tomorrow....look around and then get some lunch somewhere. Might find an ammo deal I'm okay with or whatnot.....might see somebody get shot, never know. Might see some friends, and that's the cool part.

Broncos play at 11. Shouldn't be overly crowded then.
