Glock only matches put on by Glock Factory all over US  ,should be one nearby .  Easy to shoot in and entry cost is not much. They give away Glocks of Your choice for winners and random,so You can come in anywhere and win. Info on GSSF

My take on it from going to many and talking to the dealers and promoters is the promoter is only making money on Oct-Nov-Dec Shows unless something has happened (election,shootings) but they have to run them every month under contract to keep the building. The vendors buy tables when the newest item comes out then is out when competition gets cutthroat.  There are also a few older vendors doing it as a hobby.  Like any business somebody is making money or they would have been over years ago and that is @$60 per table+gas+food+hotel  as some people quit going a lot of new ones take their place. They will be around  unless something Federal put them out.

Have had this problem with new Galco before,Galco will tell You to spray it wet with silicone spray and put holster in it for two days. Called back and talked to a customer service supervisor and they said once in a while one gets out tight and there is nothing you can do to make it fit. They had me mail it back covered postage and sent a new one.

I never liked them or the way they felt in my hand. I had a relative leave his at house for a couple years and said shoot it and I did. I could not get a group going or get the hang of it. A lady police officer knew I had it and her dept was thinking of going to them and She wanted to try it out and shot a jagged hole in bullseye at 20 yds so I knew it was not the gun but me. From then on I seen the trigger pull was unlike any other and once I got that down in a few minutes have never seen a reason to own anything else in centerfire. 

Academy had them for years @$25 and just jumped up ten dollars and it looks like others have increased also. At the large shows someone always had police trade ins for $12-16 dollars and have not seen that in a couple years. I think most people that have  extras are holding on to them waiting for the next event that will put the up to $60 overnight,thus not many used ones around. Still better than other lesser guns ,Ruger,Hk,S&W,Colt,Sig,&FN I did get a surprise on Glock Mags last month as I was trying to buy some used G-23 mags and told the guy I did not want any of the old  U top non drop fee mags,and he said You won't be getting any because they sell on internet for  around  $75 because people in Mass. can only legally own those. 

The stolen check is on their background check and is free to the as many as they want to check ,they "shouldn't" be charging for it. Most any FFL can and will do it for free.  I have bought a couple used but had them run for peace of mind. Have a neighbor that had been a serious collector for the last thirty years in Mid TN and started to thin out his collection. all bought private sales at local gun shows and ads.  He turned them over to a gun shop to sell on consignment a mix of longuns&handguns 35 total.  All went through T.I.C.S fine.   He then did 5 more and three came back as stolen, and he was out them.  Unless You know the person and know they bought it new it is hit or miss.  If You ever had to use a gun and it came back as stolen have fun with that.

No need to pay dealer $10 anymore they all now have the ability to run it through T.I.C.S for free,most will do it if not busy and I have seen it come back in a minute or two. If it shows stolen the State has already notified the nearest LEA to go pick it up and take a report.

In TN only one way to do it without You losing gun or money. He has to go with You to nearest Police Office/Sheriff Dept or most dealers will run free background search and have it run. If it comes up stolen he is the one out gun and gets to explain where he got it.  If its ok then pay him and get the copy of it run through T.I.C.S  ,this way if someone turns it in stolen a year later at least You have paper showing You had it ran at purchase. You would still lose it but previous owner would have to give statement to police.  Always a chance buying a used gun.

If You can do it it is best to go on a weekday,only a few people there. Sat. Sun has the big crowd but still OK . Cost is $90 and still a bargain if You have nowhere to shoot. See above for days closed.

Any local PD will do it for free,have to have it with You in a case and notify front desk when You walk in.  All  FFL'S can do it for free also and most will if they are not busy only takes a few minutes. Ask for copy of returned report for Your records. If it is stolen database will notify Police and dispatch to pick up. It is better to find out now so You do not get charged for something later if You use it and it is run then and shows stolen and used in a homicide. Also a good Idea to run again a couple years later in case the person did not miss it for some time and turn it in then. You now have proof where it was not stolen when You received it if You kept report copy.  If stolen You may have a Civil Claim if You know the person You Bought it from.

Once again reread my post very slow. I did not ask him or do I know what he was thinking. You may want to ask him Yourself, as I do not claim to be a mind reader or try to put words into another persons post.

Acceptable? Planned?? Is there anywhere in My entry saying that?? You may want to reread it a few times.

Was there yesterday when a dealer test fired his Keltec .32 into the floor behind his table with a crowd in show. Gun cases under table contained splatter and nobody hit.

Buddy ordered Wolf Spring kit for $12 had gunsmith put in ,action like a target revolver and goes bang everytime.

Or You can pay &12.00 per hour at a Downtown Nashville area range and come out with a three inch long bleeding gash in each arm from bounceback. Had to go there to qualify,never again.

No problem here i used to shoot only reloads,now only factory ammo. Have seen too many nightmares in forty years including my own reloads. They range from squibs to a buddy have a 12g come apart in his face duck hunting one hour from a hospital. I know most people are careful reloading,but it is the 2percent that you hear about. Range has a central location from me and everything on website looks good.

Last year their House had enough votes to push through CCW veto proof untill Gov made a few calls the day before and never went to vote. I even drove around it this Summer going through MO instead.

Went through Sat,line wrapped around building. Went out to car to get lunch still a big line. Lots of people buying and selling. It is an election year but why is Nashville Area not able to get something even close to this going on?

Buddy has some come through his farm near Thompson Station (WM Co.) Group about thirty ,late in night. Not know how long they have been doing it,come through about once a month. They have bagged a couple in 200lb range but most half that size. TWRA is trying to trap some to get data on them in this area.

No problem. I have seen problems with reloads,mine included. This is unlike a range near them that required you buy their ammo and it was reloaded crap.

They have started making it again and is hard to find because most use +P JHP A Google for sale search may help you.

Talked to a couple of Nashville Wally Clerks they said they get 100 packs of 223&45 about once a month and only a few. Said people call all day long and are in the minute it hits floor.
