Anybody going to the gunshow this weekend in Richmond?

My youngest son is off tomorrow and he's trying to decide whether to go to the gunshow or the range and do some shooting, I told him it was his choice.

If i don't get to the gunshow Saturday I'll probably make it over there about 1100 on Sunday. I hate standing in line.

We'll have our usual table there.

Well, made it by there this afternoon. Got 4 boxes of Hornady .30 caliber 150 grain FMJBTs and one box with 500 125 grain jacketed HPs for my .357 Magnum reloading.

Hey, anyone every use .357 bullets in a 9mm?

Hey Jim - can you take a picture of your setup tomorrow so I'll know what I'm looking for the next time I'm in town for a show? (doubtful that I'll make it to this one) Do you only do the Richmond shows, or do you venture out to other venues as well?

Sure can. Somewhere here I have pics but I'll take a new one. We have a large red banner so we're easy to spot.

We usually only do the 2 Richmond shows and sometimes the Doswell show but we're expanding to different areas so anything is possible.

Picked up a Colt Defender at the show from Trader Jerry. Shot it this morning...I have a new favorite pistol now.

Sorry Gunny here it is...

[allingeneral]

oooo! I like it!

You know, there's a lot to "like" there................Colt..............1911...............45 ACP.......see what I mean.

There's just something about a 1911. I went to the range awhile back with my (new to me) Browning BDM. After a combination of function testing the new magazines and pistol I was looking at the groups and thinking to myself, "Darn, its been way too long since I've shot a pistol and I should've brought my glasses." I was feeling a little down and decided to try out the .45 ACP (a ParaOrdnance P14 I'd never shot either). After the first magazine (again, not really focusing on the group but focusing on the sights and trigger/grip, etc.) I took a better look at the target and realized the 9mm groups weren't all my fault. A .45 just has a way of putting the smile back on your face.

A 1911 is one of the best things you could ever put into your hand and caress

Went this afternoon, had to drop off my ICORE gun for repairs and pick up some stuff I'd had refinished.

Pretty poor show, though after SAR I guess almost anything would be a letdown.
