What did you get at the August 2013 Indy 1500?

[boogieman]

Here we go Ill start this one. I finally got my sig p238 nitron. I got it used but like new for $400 (not great not bad) and I picked up a Ruger LCR in .22wmr. Was looking for 300blackout ammo but only found some brass. It was a good show in my opinion.

 

[Kirkd]

Got some CCI small pistol and rifle primers for $33. A Lee Turret Press and accessories for it.

 

[smitty12b]

I couldn't find the rifle I wanted, will go to braids tomorrow. I did get a new switch blade though.

 

[smitty12b]

Bradis, freakin autocorrect.

[dmarsh8]

Nothing u don't waste my time or money to go buy something I can buy cheaper elsewhere.

 

[TomN]

Picked up a couple Raven Concealment holsters, and a couple of the new INGO shirts.

AND I shook Que's hand! I may never wash it...... ever!

My hand, not Que's. We're not really that close.

 

[zepan]

When I arrived at 1320 today the line was wraped around the building and past the main entrance off 38th street. Needless to say all I got from the show was a wasted trip over there.

 

[sbrville]

My dad went and I had him look for some mosin ammo and small rifle primers. All be dang if he didn't find exactly what I wanted. He got a cheaply double barrel 20 gauge

 

[piercedjp]

I mostly just got dirty looks from vendors who were insulted that I would offer them $20 less than the price they had marked.

 

[Miles42]

Great buy on the P238 IMO. Check out what people want used here and on armslist.

 

[rat-man]

always try to hit the Indy 1500 for reloading supplies to subvert the HAZMAT fees for shipping primers and powder.

Got a pound of Power Pistol and HP-38.
Picked up some 9mm and 40/45 ammo boxes.
two pads of paper targets
A variety of bullets, including some .40 180g Winchester JHP, and 115/135g Hornady FTX bullets, along with some Xtreme and Barrys plated. Also picked up a 1000 CCI lg pistol primers. Glad to see some more ammo availablity than the last 1500 I went to in the winter, but the price gouging is still present. More and more available will start to bring the prices down.

Wasn't shopping for any firearms but stopped and looked at a few new and used models of the ones on my list, and totally unimpressed with the pricing. Couldn't believe how much one place was asking for used Sig P238s...

Overall good show for us, wasn't too crowded. In and out in 2 hours with no line wait arriving around 4 pm.

i didn't see the high priced used sigs but did see a table in the southwest corner that had a bunch of the 238s for a cool $799 each. Your choice of which one you want.

 

[Papabeargsh]

I got a nice Maxpedition bag, and a new Benchmade 583. Ammo prices were a little high in my opinion.

 

[Que]

I got a pistol, knife, belt, EDC bag and an INGO t-shirt.

I want to give props to XZ Guns. I've always seen their tables packed with people, but never stopped because I wasn't looking for a firearm. Well, last week I got the bug to purchase a 9mm handgun and didn't want a Glock or M&P. A friend put me on to the PPQ, which I loved the moment I picked it up. If felt like the HK with the size of the Glock 19. Keeping the price in the back of my head, I figured I would order one next week.

Well, I got to the show and there were the hordes of gun nuts around the ZX tables again. I walked around and asked other vendors for the price on their PPQ and they were all above $600 and one was even $660! Well, I stopped by ZX and asked the price and the guy turned over the tag and said $529. Before I knew it I said, "That's a great price!" Well, if there was any negotiation to be had, that was down the drain; however, I found out they don't negotiate.

I then went on the search for magazines and didn't find any, but each vendor directed me to another to try and I though I finally found one, but it was for the M1 and I have the M2. The guy told me to give him a call next week and he'll get some in the mail to me.

I realized a savings on everything I bought yesterday.

Good score, ZX is always my first goto place. If Jason gets to know you if he can he'll deal but often as in that PPQ I can't imagine there's much margin to play with at 529.00. I wouldn't have questioned it either.

 

[Beorn]

All I got was a grip plug and some Trijicon night sights installed on my G19.

 

[Stubz]

Got to the show just shy of 2:45 and started in the line even with the end of the building, 38th street side, that said was probably only a 15min wait to hit the doors. Did get to listen to an arm-chair 'Armored Division" General (he played World of Tanks ) and a Infantry Vet - ACE reserve the entire way...yay

Picked me up another medium ALICE pack, some camping supplies, a box of 3" .410 shot for $10 (not bad figuring most places are $15+) but pretty unimpressed otherwise on ammo - though it HAS come "down" since the last couple shows...just needs to drop another 30-50% to be where it aught to be.

But the Jewel (I think) I dug up was a police trade in Sig P220 w/ 3 mags & bright night-sights for $475 from the ACME table out of Seymore. 3rd item I've bought from them, outstanding service and product . Beats the hell out of the Sig P226 at the table next to them with the out-standing home done Rust Coat on it, so liberally ingrained in the action it poured out when I removed the equally rusty magazine. No doubt a steal at the $499 + tax,tag,license, etc he was asking.

Didn't see 1 M&P45c the whole show though, the 1 thing I had in mind to find while I was there.

 

[Chevyman540]

I picked up a really nice stock for my M1 and a couple of mags for it. Some of the vendor's had some good prices on some ammo, but not 22's.

 

[Apokalypsi]

Trade an 870 for a 590A1. Great deal from Tommy Guns.
