Gun Show - Smyrna TN - Feb28-Mar1

[Rambo]

Anyone going? Kinda curious if I could find a pocket pistol there.

[Guest ScottD]

You can find one. It will most likely be over priced. Also FYI with your ticket you get free admission into the antique flea market. Lots of Civil War stuff err crap !

[56FordGuy]

Thinking about going, have to call my buddy and see if he's up for it. I'd like to find some reloading components, but I get the feeling I can probably get them cheaper somewhere else.

[BryanP]

I usually go to this one since it's close by, but I won't be able to this weekend. With the renewed AWB rumblings this week I suspect it will be even more outrageous than before.

56FordGuy, have you been to The Reloaders Bench in Mt. Juliet, TN? They sell reloading supplies. They are high on bullets. But primers and gun powder are priced right. Also try Midsouth Shooters Supply. They are in Clarksvill. I buy all of my reloading rifle bullets from them. gearyr

I think I may go just to see what the public attitude is now that Mein Furher has assumed control of the government. It should be entertaining.

[BrandonTN]

I plan on stopping by...I don't really need anything, but you never know what you'll find.

[TripleDigitRide]

If I don't find a Marine Magnum and a Sig P220 Elite Stainless before then, I will be visiting Smyrna, too.

[Guest .45Jon]

I always go, mostly just for something to do...If i'm gonna pay full price for something i'd rather give it to my gun store if they have it.

[Guest Todd@CIS]

I'll be walking around on Saturday dressed in very fashionable blue polyester...umm, ya know, business check and all.

[Guest pl1ght]

I told my wife i was going this weekend, but after what i brought home last gun show, she instantly gave me this no your not look and i threw in a "just kidding".

[Electric B]

I going I have a 226 I need to sell.

Kind of like it was here before....only MUCH worse

[56FordGuy]

Just talked to my friend, we'll be there probably sometime on Saturday. I'll probably have an SKS, and possibly a Glock for sale, and I'm looking for an H&K P30 in 9mm. If you see a young guy in a Stihl cap, say hi.

Gearyr, I've been to The Reloader's Bench, but not recently. Not since I got my loading stuff and started reading my manuals. I imagine I'll be back there soon.

Saturday: 9am - 5pm

Sunday: 9am - 4pm

Rise and Shine!

I was gonna sleep in for a bit, but my normal schedule hardly allows me that pleasure. So, I guess I'm gonna try to be there when the doors open.

You'll beat the rush on beef jerky and wolf shirts.

[Guest dtandy]

The few shows I've gone to have been a disappointment. I was expecting to find some deals but most guns seemed to be priced a bit on the high side.

[TK47]

I'm headed that way now. I'm kind of looking for a CETME or G3 clone, but probably won't be able to afford the current price. I just like going to watch the reporters in the crowd checking under the tables, for all the illegal deals going on there, and trying to spot the "LOOPHOLE".

For those that are going or have been, are there any P-3at's or LCP's? Won't be able to go until Sunday afternoon at the earliest, but not sure it is going to be worth my time if there are not any of them to be found.

Speaking of beef jerky, there was a vendor who damn near tackled me to the floor, just so I'd taste his beef jerky.

He quickly backed away once he noticed this in my hands.

That's Right! I found this Brand Spankin' New P220 Elite Stainless. Got a sweet deal from a private vendor at the show.

Edited: because I didn't know what I was talking about.

Yes, there was a vendor with 5 or 6 LCP's. When you walk in the door, he/they were all the way towards the back wall. Not against the wall, but facing the back wall. They were $339, IIRC.

BTW, I'm not sure, but the LCP's may not have been sent back for the recall. I saw a guy buy one, and a few minutes later another vendor was telling him that he didn;t think they had been fixed yet. I don't know for sure, just what I heard.

Cool, I wouldn't mind getting one that has to be sent back, just to get the free mag. Guess I might have to get out there tomorrow.

We drove down around noon and the parking lot and the place was slammed. There

was a line down the front of the building. Did not have the heart to fight the crowd with my 4 year old.

TDR, you are going to love that 220. I have a Custom Shop 220 Elite SAO, it is by far my favorite pistol. Did you get it off a individual? I'm getting a 228 or 229 next if I can find the right deal.
