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 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.
