I'm going to make it up there Saturday. First time at this show, size wise bugger or smaller then Crown Point?

 

[9mmfan]

Heck, I didn't even know about it. I will probably stop in.

I'd like to hear from some of the attending vendors. Last time I attended there was only a couple legitimate tables, I said never again. It wasn't worth the drive around the corner, let alone the entry fee. Hopefully they can turn it around.

This one will be around the same size as the last Crown Point show. It will be by far the largest show we have ever had in South Bend.

 

[Expat]

They used to about fill the building, the last couple years they had really shrunk to about half.

and $800 Glocks

I was suprised there were Sig M18s for $635.

 

[red_zr24x4]

A buddy went today said $800 glocks ,like Expat said. Beat up S&W revolvers were around$1200 and a beat up stainless Colt 1911 was $1400

 

[Expat]

and ammo was even worse $440/thousand for AK ammo.... $60 for a box of 9mm.

 

[JamesV]

yes the same thing that everyone had mentioned, even my gf was like how much are they asking for that Glock?

Wasn't as crowded as CP last weekend so it was good to walk around and look at the high prices.

Did get to stop and talk with Brain from Brian's Surplus, thanks again for everything.

I saw a group of young gentlemen buying AR pistols and walking around like they just hit the jackpot.
They seemed quite proud of their purchases and were looking for the best deal on mags.
I saw quite a few couples looking for firearms with children in tow.
Maybe there is hope...
I also took a trip over to Midwest since I was there.
It was an eye opening experience.
Empty case all over the place.
I had wondered why they shut down Elkhart and now I know why.
Lack of inventory to fill both stores.
They can't even keep the main store filled, so close it down and move inventory.
Ammo prices were better than the show though.
I was surprised they only had 1 new Glock (48 I believe)
All the used Glocks were $600.
