Greenville Gun Show

#1

Post by Commander »

I ran across a website that listed gun shows in Texas. Its showing one next weekend (Nov 18 & 19) in Greenville at the Civic Center. It's being put on by AF Productions from Tyler. They advertise that all 250 tables are sold out. I wasn't aware that there were gun shows in Greenville. Any one ever gone to one or know anything about what kind of show AF Productions puts on?

Can you give us a link? I'd like to make use of such a list in planning my occasional trips.

Update on the Greenville Gun Show

#5

Post by Commander »

I had to be in Greenville today anyway so I stopped by the"gunshow". Very disappointing.....The website said that 250 tables were "sold out". There may have been 250 tables there if you counted those stacked in the back of the room. There were several empty tables. Handguns were being shown only by about 5 or 6 vendors. I saw more long guns and knives than handguns.

However, I did see a couple of "deals" a 9mm PX4 Storm for $385.00. (not sure if it was used or not - it didn't look used) a Used Kahr K-40 for
$400, Also saw an AMT Backup .380 for $195.00, but I didn't know if that was a good price or not.

In one of those "it can only happen in Texas" situations, the other side of the Civic Center was having a "Home and Garden" show at the same time.

Greenville show

This was a dissapointing show. They might have said 250 tables sold out but I think they meant 25. I went hoping that if it was supported well they might not have to share with the Garden show next time.
