I always find good prices at Trader Jerry's or Dark Sun. Same gun will be $75 more three tables down at Guns&Ammo

The point is all the other vendors whom have nothing but crap tables. Im sure you can find a deal or two but the point is the show has lost touch with what a gun show is all about.. BTW trader jerry has nothing but rude employees behind the booth.

Yeah I agree about the employees.

I've had luck the past couple of times finding what I'm after, though it usually is at one of the same handful of tables every time. I did notice a lot of junk tables this time as well. In some scary ways it's starting to look like an in-person version of American Rifleman magazine. It's sort of strange because you're starting more and more to see a mix of really expensive collector's guns (lots of tables at the front with expensive, collectors' guns that would sit in a safe more than anything else) and then non-gun or accessory junk. There actually seems to be a rather limited number of tables where you can get a good, solid second hand classic that you can also shoot for reasonable money.

The comment above about accessories versus guns is apt, I think, as well.

I still go to the show if I'm after something in particular, but I wouldn't take a good Saturday to just browse.

The better half went looking for a Walther PPQ 9mm and found zero on Saturday (seems most places have sold all theirs).

Even though its far for me to go from Fredericksburg I use to go but have stopped. Everyone is right mostly junk. I miss the old days when you can find parts and kits and odd pieces for a project you might want to do.
