Indianapolis or Lafayette Show April 28th?

[gregkl]

Which show would you guys recommend to find a fair deal on a 1911? Or should I plan on both?

nip, you are referencing the Indy1500 show. There are other gun shows than just the 1500 in Indy.

Surely you jest! The 1500 is the only show in town!!

 

[gvsugod]

So anywho...I want to hit up a show, but dont want to drive to LaFayette. So how is that show in indy? Does anyone know?

 

[Mgderf]

The one in Lafayette is going to be bigger than the usual ones here. Indy 1500 will still be bigger, but Lafayette's show is something a little different for us. It is being put on by a diferent promoter than usual, and at a different venue. From the sound of it, it will be twice the size of Lafayette's "normal" show. May be some deals, may not.

It's only $5 to get in, or $12 for a 3 day pass.

Since when where there deals at the gun show? Order online and have it shipped to a ffl.

this information is correct

It is still a small show but with the new promoters it is growing with each show that passes. No beanie babies or jerky. All gun related merchandise at this show.
$5 to get in so really would make for a nice couple of hours.

 

[gregkl]

So, would you suggest hitting one show first, then the other? And in what order? I live in Lafayette.

Ummm, since all the time. No deals at gun shows? Where does this nonsense get started?

See the old Smiths? $200 a pop last year at the Indy 1500:

See the old Colt Police Positive in .22WMR and the pre-M17 (made in 1946 with the Mershon grip adaptor)? $200 each at the Indy 1500. Booyah!

No deals at gun shows, huh? Wwweeelll, we'll just see about that when I hit the Lafayette show.

Going to Indy just for Stout Field? Meh, maybe if I had other things like hit Eagle Creek or dinner downtown or shopping.

Stout Field is a nice little show, I used to go when I lived in Indy, but have not been back.

I like the crowds. More bodies more targets of opportunity.

I'm looking forward to the Lafayette show with all you guys talking about it, and I just happen to know a guy selling a 1911. He's very cool and a sharp dresser.

Well...I just happen to be looking to buy a 1911...

 

[Knife Lady]

Yes the Stout Field show is a nice little show. I would guess it is at least the same size as the Lafayette show will be. The Armory show has 2 rooms.
We will also be set up at the Stout Field Armory show.
There will also be food there and FREE coffee all day and free parking.

I think it is worth checking out.

Come to the Lafayette show Saturday monring. Great opportunity to meet a lot of INGO people. I would not waste the gas for a gun show in Indy, unless it is the 1500.

Then this is what I will do! Hey that was your 200th post! Don't you get some kind of prize for that?

 

[Wormhauler]

Why not go to both shows? You might miss the great deal if you only go to one show.
