Springs 8/11

[10x]

Haven't been to one in the Springs for a while. How big is this show? Is it worth going to for $10?

In my humble opinion, not this one.

I haven't seen or heard of the other company that puts on show having one in a while (probably because I've been preoccupied and disconnected), but they had a good show - this one is too small and too much jerky and jewelry for my taste. The last time I went to this show was several years back and I made it through all of the tables with no real desire to buy anything in about 20 minutes.

Last of that show I attended had many home improvement stands; windows, roofs, doors, gutters. Several survival tables, lots of ammo. Maybe half the room was firearms. ...but it's better than yardwork!

Well i cannot go anyway now. Went to the ER yesterday morning with chest pain. Put in stent number eight yesterday afternoon. I have take it easy for a few days.

Thanks for the info.

Just to recap gun shows in Colorado Springs..

SERTOMA appears to be done..
RK Shows has been edged out...
There was some local promoter.. that just faded...

SO, here is what we have now:
http://www.coloradospringsgunshow.com/
FROM THE WEB SITE>>
Shop hundreds of tables full of guns, ammo and knives at the Colorado Springs Gun & Knife Show August 11th & 12th at the Colorado Springs Event Center, 3960 Palmer Park Boulevard at Academy. There will be guns, knives, ammo, archery, gun parts, reloading supplies, holsters, and other related products, many at discounted prices!

The promoter is a firm in Missouri that runs all sorts of shows all over the USA.

This weekend will be my first time doing this show.
Fortunately it is a short drive for me!

Under new promoters, might be worth checking out.That and it's nice to shoot the breeze with Richard.

Hmmm, thanks Richard, for the update on this 'new' show! May be worth a 'shot'...

I do hope so.
We can stand one well run and properly advertised show here.
I liked the RK show because Ryan actually "ran" it!
SERTOMA got to the point it was like they just let everyone do their "thing" and the show just happened.
This time will be my first exposure to this promoter and I hope it goes well.
Thing is, I should not be spending! I have been selling off parts of my collection to pay for something I am buying.
Check the used guns on the SDS web site!
