Pasadena vs George Brown Gun Show

[EyeToEye]

I was thinking about going to the Pasadena gun show this weekend but wanted to know if it is usually smaller than the one at the George Brown
Anyone been to both and can comment? Thanks

it is usually smaller but has also usually been better prices in the past to me -- i havent been in some time but always liked pasadena much better then grb

Smaller than the one at GRB. You couldn't pay me to go to the one this weekend, it will be a ZOO!

As long as it is the High Caliber Gun show, go to either, but Pasadena saves you parking and driving downtown.

If it is not the High Caliber Gun show, in my prior experience, it was not worth going to, if you were looking for guns and at a fairly decent price.

Only thing I dont like about Pasadena is it is very cramped and crowded.

I have a feeling Pasadena will be a horrible place to shop at will all the panic buying

It is a smaller venue then Reliant or GRB, no parking $$$ and not much paved parking. The high caliber gun shows seem to be running every weekend now. I didn't find their prices to be any better than my mom & pop gun store here in town, much bigger selection though.

You know it will be. As will all gun shows for a while.

I've been to gun shows at both. There's plenty of selection at either location. The GRB is much bigger, so there's usually several more vendors there. But really all that amounts to is more of the same. In the past, Pasadena has been an easier casual browse. Also, I've found the prices from vendor to vendor at gun shows to be fairly closely aligned with little to no haggle room. And the gun show bargains (vs big-box or lgs) don't seem to be there anymore. I've been doing some Christmas shopping at both Academy and Bass Pro Shop this week, and it's been maniacal - even during late-lunch time on a weekday! I can't imagine what the gun shows are going to be like right now.

Are those "Real" (Arts & Crafts) shows still around? Haven't seen one on any schedule for a while. Then again, those I've attended have been a joke and not worth the time of day. Wood carvings, jerky, and knock off jewelry with one or two gun related tables.
