It's rip off time. One of our 2 Gun Shows is going

Except I found one guy who was selling Winchester Pistol primers, both large and small, for $50 a thousand. He got my business.

The last time I attended a gun show was about 8 years ago. Truthfully I do not need anything, when I see something I may want it, but need is not the operative word. This was a large event in a larger city, parking was costly along with the fee at the door. To their credit they did offer free entrance to Vets. Everything I saw was inflated by about 20%, there were no bargains. The sum total of stated firearms experts was astounding and the collection of tactical was equally impressive. To each their own and I left with all of my money intact in search of the quality local gun store. I have not been to a gun show since and have no desire to.

get in to see inflated prices on mostly junk. What happened to showing the old Colts and Smiths and Lugers? Yes, I am getting old and crotchety.

you go in figuring on some heavy duty haggling or trading. But the price of everything has about doubled. A bag of Cheetos is $6! A good pickup truck is $60k, almost double what I paid for my old house and 10 acres circa 1988 ($37k)!

It's difficult to find a used Blackhawk of any caliber or flavor for less than $500. How many old models did I buy for $275-$300 or so! Now built into Custom Reeder's.
