The Showplace in Richmond - FYI !!!

Post by DW44VH »

FYI !!!

This is the last gun show this weekend at the Showplace in Richmond.

The owners of the showplace have signed a long term lease with a retailer.

All subsequent gun shows at the Showplace for the rest of the year have been cancelled.

Went there today and the crowd was manageable....no waiting line. Lots of guns at really outrageous prices. Plenty of ammo at outrageous prices. Handgun prices were not as bad as the tactical rifles. There were a lot of vendors selling MagPul PMags with window for $30.00 each. Quantico Tactical had reasonable prices on MagPul accessories.

I was actually quite impressed - this was my first gun show since moving up here a year ago. Hate that this was the end for them at this venue.

Handgun prices were good - ammo not so great - didn't even touch a black rifle. Waiting patiently (not really) on Sterling Arsenal to take more orders.
I ain't from 'round here...

They've got alternate shows going on in May, and June at RIR (Richmond International Raceway)...

The guy running the shows is looking to move it further to SOUTHSIDE for some reason.
