Gun show at RIR Feb 2-3

Post by PT145 »

Went to the gun show today looking for a glock 19 gen 4. This was a last option for myself since I have searched every gun store in the area and came up empty. After standing in the long line for 30-40 minutes I get inside and not one vendor has a single glock 19 gen 4. What a waist of time. When will glock restock retailers with merchandise?

That's disheartening to hear. I've been fending off an itch to get a G23 and I'm hoping I'll be able to scratch it at the March RIR show. I know all Glocks have been tough to find. You'd think with a polymer gun they'd just crank up the assembly line; but who knows, maybe they've already been in full steam mode and this rush emptied any reserves they may have had sitting at the warehouse.

I don't pay much attention to Glocks but Towne Police Supply just off Hull Street had a couple of shelves of new and used Glocks on display yesterday.

No idea what the models/calibers are. Some were full sized, some were small, one had a big old long slide/barrel on it.

Yeah, if the dealers don't start getting more stock, and the prices don't start falling, I cannot seen gunshows lasting much longer.

This reminds me of the 1994 AWB. A gun show was just a place to fellowship, find some bargains on accessories, and get some jerky/MRE's for camping.

But even now? You can get all that for less ONLINE!

It's going to be difficult for the dealers to restock, since wholesalers are empty and the manufacturers are sold out.
