Went to the gun show

Post by philip964 »

Well I went to the high calibre gun show here in Houston.

Some observations:

Crowded, hard to get near the tables.

Heard that if I bought something, the wait to check out with a gun was an hour.

One large gun seller said they were not getting any new stock. Once they sold out that was it.

The price on a 9mm gun I bought two years ago was double. The price for a fn 5.7 pistol was $2400. There were only two for sale in the whole place. A fn ps 90 was a $100 more there were 3 for sale. 5.7 ammo was $75 for 50. Only one person had any.

Sig 238 was the same price.

Lots of people walking around with AR's for sale.

One sign said "your best place for pre ban guns"

I think I got the only Glock 19 in the place and paid a high-ish price.

I went to the local show here in Kingsalnd. It is usually pretty slow. Yesterday it was very full.
People were asking $2000 for ARs built from parts. Dealers were selling ammo bought from Walmart that morning and asking double the price.
One guy had a Keltec PMR 30 and want $1295 for it!
MSRP is $415.

We went for entertainment and we were entertained.
