    I picked up a SCCY CPX-2 for $239 plus tax, and was happy I did. That's a tough price to beat--the next-cheapest I saw was $259.

    Picked up some .38 ammo, and grabbed some of that ZVS 9mm ammo for $14.95/box

    Got a nice soft case for my pistol carbine, and a couple of German military folding stoves.

    Oh, and some beef (and kangaroo) jerky for the kids. :)

    I had my other impressions of the show here, if anyone cares to read them. I thought it was a great show this time (minus the parking!)

    I picked up a holographic sight for my AR. Otis cleaning patches, an Otis Bone tool, and several little dental picks, scalpels and tools because they are extremely handy at work.

    Hepatitis a-c, tuberculosis, and most likely, lice. On the upside, Sheila made me a good deal on an ESEE Junglas and a pretty pink Izula for the Mrs., Glock +2's, web dominators, a few patches, but mostly, a creepy icky feeling!

    Deet did you get the G-17 from a Vendor? How many mags, box, etc, etc, and if you don't mind. How much?
    Saints and Sinner, next time you go LMK and I 'll give you $ for a blk/gold velcro INGO patch, and swing by and get it from you later.

    I got to see something I with never get out of my head. I was in "the junk room" (where the roasted almond people are) and there was a holster company set up on the back wall. Walked by and heard some stupid kind of rap type music with a beat playing and saw a grown man standing against the wall sticking his ass out and twerking. Some things can never be unseen!

    Picked up a Ruger 10/22 Takedown for the wife, stainless barrel with black stock, at the show. She really loved the backpack that came with it. I picked up another takedown, except this one was multicam, at Dicks on the way home (they had better prices than the 1500). The second one was for me.

    The G17 was in really awful shape. It was dirty everywhere, and the front of the slide has deep scratches on it. The rear sight looks like a mouse was chewing on it, the bottom of the grips look like someone took a file to them. It is a mess. He wanted $400. I had a Keltec P11 that I got in a trade. The guy didn't have $100 so he said pick a gun off his table, I chose the only new gun there the P11. So I offered the vendor my Keltec P11 and $50 for the Glock. To my surprise he said yes. I now have a very used Glock that I will use as a truck gun and an edc. Here is a pic, the camera sucks but it really is in rough shape.

    Didn't buy anything for the last couple of shows and did not go to this one even though I used to go every show. Have not gone since the prices got wonky.

    It was really crowded, thought the prices of many guns were still somewhat inflated over other places. Saw an AK over $500 more that same in local shops.

    Was there on Saturday. The only fair prices i saw was at zx. Bought two ruger pistols. lc9 and an lc380. Best prices at the show by far. Maybe next time i will save the agravation and got straight to zx, buy what i want and go home.
