I have bought eight or nine pistols online without an issue. There are rip-offs, but the sites generally offer sdvice and if you follow it your purchase will be painless. I actually prefer to buy on-line'cause you can save enough on tax on a premium firearm to pay for the firearms transfer and then some. If you have a friend with a FFL, even mucho better.

I have never bought at a show. A freind does quite a bit. From what I have seen, bring cash, and often some folks walking around have good buys if you are looking for what they are selling, luck in this case. Most sellers at shows are very inflated. They are there for those who think they are getting a good deal. I get my best deals from a couple of pawn shop owners. I tell them what I am looking for, and they call if someone down on their luck stumbles in. Good luck.
