Who's going to the gunshow tomorrow? I'll be there at 9 am. Might be considering a trade for a XD .40 cal for my Glock 19 if anyone is interested.

I'll be at Market Hall around 1ish with some friends. If you see a guy wearing an IDF T-shirt, that'll be me.

Aw, man........I'm gonna shoot the IPDA match at Elm Fork. Maybe I can cruise over afterward, but it won't be until after 2pm. I think there's another one in Mesquite on the 15th of Jan too. I might wait for that one so I can actually buy something!! I've recently gotten the AR bug pretty bad and want to build another lower.

Is it me, or does it seem like gun shows aren't really a great bargain lately?

I'm trying not to go but it's not working.

I'll be there in spirit - unfortunately, being there in body requires money :)

But, hey, it'll be back soon enough...and there's always the nearly constant show in Tyler :)

I'll be there helping at a table tomorrow...I'll wear my dark blue "Ford Police Interceptor" ballcap...wave howdy if you spot me :)

We've got one in Lubbock tomorrow, too. Anyone going?

Was thinking about heading out there, but doesn't look like the wife and I have the $10 to get in the door.

Don't you just love the way Christmas sucks you dry!? :)

Nope, I won't go to this one. My deal with myself was if I quit smoking at least until the TSRA show I could get a new toy. 4 weeks to go.

If I were to go this weekend, I would want to get something and that would cheat myself.

Can I help you pick it out or at least be there when you do? Seriously. You are doing great with the smoking.....good job!

Thanks Jason.
Not sure I will get another gun or a fully loaded Dillon 550 reload set up.
Thoughts?

I believe there is one in Tyler this weekend, after that...I don't think they have one scheduled until August . Tyler is usually where I go.

Currently shopping for a Springfield Ultra Compact (stainless/loaded) for my daughter.

I may have to go the Houston show in April.

Anyway, hope everyone has a good time.

We're going on a vacation with some of my relatives, I'm hosting a baby shower, and niece is getting married--ALL in March!
Besides, I just got a new 1911 for Christmas. I can't push the envelope.

I need to save my money for all my March events. Hopefully, I'll get some respit in April or May, which will be a good time for another gun show. Dh wants a shot gun.

Go with the Dillon It will give you something to do at home with your mind and hands if you are "ancy".
It benefits all your gun platforms.
Plus, it is an activity that requires "No Smoking".

I went...and conquered! I got to the market hall show around 9:30am. Had several offers on my Glock 19 before even getting in the show for around $300-350. I wasn't in the show for more then 10 minutes before I talked a guy at one of the tables into paying me $440 for it. It was in extremly good condition for being used but defintly not worth $10 less then the going rate at the show for a brand new one. Oh well, good for me, right? I went straight to the Bachman Pawn and Gun table and bought the Springfield XD .40 cal that I've been wanting. Brand new for $430.00. I sure lucked out. Got a awesome gun and saw lots of friends from the ranges. There were tons of awesome deals that I wish I had the money to take advantage of.

I'm addicted guys...help!

Sounds like you had a good day at the gun show. Have fun with the .40.
