Evansville Gun Show

[mighty2]

Hey how is the Evansville Gun Show???

Tactical side, collectors side, pistol, or long guns?????

 

[Split]

Depends on which one it is. The Armory show is tight on space and high on price. The 4-H Show like this weekend is usually worth the $5 entry free, but nothing to be blown away by.

Just like a good weekend cruising gun shops, you might find a great deal, you might not, but always a good time.


After going to the 1500 I can't act like it isn't fairly sad in comparison, but it's the best one we have here.

Thanks I was wondering if anyone goes to it or not.

May as well just go to whittakers

I plan to go to the 4-H Saturday. Probably will take a Norinco SKS to sell or trade. Often some good prices on non-mainstream ammo.

I would go to Whittakers if they were open on Sundays.

Whittakers is one of my favorite gun shops, but I plan on attending the Evansville Gun Show on Sunday. Did anyone see any good deals on 223 ammo? I also plan on looking for a good defense shotgun any suggestions.

I agree Whittakers has better prices then 75% of the dealers at the gun show.

I went today, a decent selection, some with good prices, lots of unique stuff for a show around here.

A select few really awful tables as far as weapon quality. At one booth I saw 2 Llama .45s and a Lorcin 9mm, along with several Davis .380s, all very used.

Some deals were to be had on .223 and .308, but most everything else was still on the Gander Mtn price scale.

Was looking for snap caps for my .40, none to be had.

The Show at the Armory is an absolute joke.

+1 to whomever said Whittaker's...That place is it's own gun show.

When did they start closing on Sundays?

Whittakers is large and has a great selection but I have found the prices a bit high at times.
The show at the armory is not very good, the 4H show is a bit better. There used to be a show in Boonville, but I don't know anything about it.
The show in Ferdinand is actually fairly decent, also

I went this afternoon. Sun. Wore my INGO hat. Met a coupla fellow INGOers. They were vendors. Came "this close" to buying a gun. Couldn't quite cut the deal. Guess I'm too much of a titeass.

Whittaker's is a nice big place to browse, but I'll stay on my side of the river and go to Dave's Gun Shop to buy. His prices are always better, no need to transfer handguns. I can go home with my gun that Saturday instead of waiting a week for it get 40 miles down the road.

The guys will talk to you like people instead of cattle being herded through the store.

I can buy more than one box of ammo "per family"

They don't charge me any ridiculous credit card/debit card fees. Look if you want to make more money put the price on the tag, not in a hidden fee you don't say anything about until you start ringing me up. Some people live in the 21st century and never see a paycheck, let alone cash anymore.

I'll stick with what seem to be more honest and genuinely nice people at Dave's.
