Did anyone go today? Reviews?
I need some gloves, better get moving in the am....
Compared to Tanner's it's quite a bit smaller. Not as many gun tables and just not as many vendors period. I did see Machine Gun Tours there and hey,,,,no one got shot that I know of!
I did and let me say that I was not impressed. In fact I think the gun shows are getting worse and worse every year. What happened to the days where we went to the gun shows to find good deals on firearms and ammo? I saw a guy at a booth there today selling just a small amount of ammo and it seemed to me like the guy just went to Walmart and bought some ammo the day before just to sell it at the show for a profit. It took everything I had to restrain myself from telling the guy that the Walmart about 20 min drive from here has that exact stuff for a better price and they might want to adjust for that. There was a booth that had some remanufactured ammo at some good prices. I can't remember the company name. As far as handguns go I couldn't find much more than Taurus and XD pistols all over the tables. Some of the Sigs I found could have been purchased over at Sportsman's Warehouse for a better price and they're in stock too. The beef jerky booth is getting smaller with just a few options now. And yes the glove guy was there selling it up.
Also, thank God that no one was shot there today (that I know of as of 11pm Sat).This time around I payed more attention to what other people did and I did take more notice of what some people consider their "muzzle control". Maybe this will be my last gun show for a while
Dang. So there weren't even any decent deals on ammo? What about reloading supplies? I'm looking to buy a case of .223 and to get some powder and primers.
THey might have had some there, but I didn't see ANY primers for sale. I did see some powders, but wasn't fond of the prices so I just walked on by. I few bullet sellers; some okay prices, some not. I was really put off by the prices for cases. Hint to sellers: they're made of brass, not gold!
A buddy was looking for a used Ruger LCP/.380Auto. He found a few of them - all in very similar condition. The prices varied by over $100 from highest to lowest.
I didn't see any major deals and nothing that drew me to make a purchase.
For those others who attended and were disappointed, this was actually a pretty good show for the producers "RK Shows". Typically, RK SHows doesn't put on even this good of a show. While nothing the Springs has will compete with what Denver produces (gun show wise), the Prospectors Sertoma Gun Shows are usually much better.

I was sure happy to get some jalapeno jerky. And a new Glock.
Having just moved from Ohio, I can tell you that this gunshow is NOTHING like Ohio. Ohio has way more glove vendors than Colorado.
In all seriousness, the show had way too many vendors selling the same products. Ohio shows are 2 to 1 tables that are collectors and private sellers vs. FFLs selling at the table. You get a ton more variety in the rifles there. At this show, everything was an AR (not that there's anything wrong with that), and it felt like everyone was an FFL. I had a hard time handgun shopping. Thankfully, I knew what I wanted, got it, and got out.
Ohio shows are loaded with FTF sales, and I saw hardly any yesterday - actually, a guy was trying to sell a Beretta 9mm, and had his 8 yr old boy carrying it.
My favorite table was the "Pain Cream." Seriously. Pain cream? At a gun show? That's just one step away from the department store agressive purfume test sprayers - mixing their quick, jump at you attacks with guns is a bad idea.
By the way, I got a Glock 36 .45ACP with Tritium sights and bought a Crimson Trace Laser Guard. It's going to be my CCW.
Well, you all convinced me not to go even though it is only 15 minutes from home. I will finish up my taxes and then go back to reading The Pacific.

It was a good day to go to the firing line and let some lead fly and pick up some 380 ammo
