Thanks

It looked to be a combo deal...Lots of collectors, nick-nack dealers, and "curios"...

The shopping for the "New in Box" stuff looked to be ok, but they were spread out all over the convention floor layout...

Parking was $8, and admission $7 per person...

Clear and safe your weapons, the place is properly posted with the dreaded 30.06 signage...

I just left mine in the truck...

I did see a lot of 1911 models, from various makes and models for the .45 crowd...

Lots of opportunity to play the dealers off each other to wittle $20-$50 bucks off the prices...

Especially today, as they are going to be packing up when they close and may want to make a sale or two before then...

Check out the Allcorn Creek Sporting club booth...They had a good "full" table of all sorts of makes and models (new)...They are from Bryan, Texas and are the ones that my wife purchased from...

I saw a nice Kimber, looked to be a compact .45 model...

Other than that they had the usual HK's, Taurus's and a plethra of Glocks...

All priced to move...
