I have only been to 2 show locations (ft worth and denton) I thought it was OK, I was there from 9:45 to about noon. the upper level was not lit well at first and was crowded. I think the floor of the arena worked ok, it also got a little crowded between tables. I only saw the tables in the lobby area on my way out.
I was looking for the M&P Pro, I was actually surprised not to see any (and I went around twice). I ended up also leaving with the M&P 15-22, 2 S&W .22lr mags and a nylon 5 shell 12g butt stock ammo carrier.

My newest purchases:

I'm dissapointed at the Para LTC in 9mm on top. In the first 50 Rounds, got 10 FTE's. Contacted para, and they wanted me to pay for shipping to them at first.
I'm currently negotiating (read:demanding) that they pay for return shipping on this brand new firearm with problems. :smash:

I really, really, really want a Kimber Eclipse compact, but those things are expensive. My GF told me she would go half with me for my bday (It's on June 28th) so I wonder if she'll give in..

Although if I do this, I will have to purdy much do everything she says. Like.. cook, clean, take out the trash.. play with her dog.. bake... :banghead:

So.. now that I think about it..

Maybe the baking part; yes. Only because I'm a type 1 diabetic and I try different sugar free cookies that are tasty. Some taste like cardboard..

Either way, what about my needs? WHAT ABOUT MY WANTS?!?! WHAT ABOUT ME?!?!?!

I once agreed to paint my wifes toenails for a year if I could buy custom wheels for my truck.

That is a bummer to hear. How many rounds total are through the pistol now? And how many more failures have you had?
