FT. WAYNE GUN & KNIFE SHOW THIS WEEKEND - NOV. 23 & 24

[JetGirl]

uhhh what?

I had a over a grand in my pocket to pick up a short frame 1911. I picked up a Sig off of Stryker's table. I was going to look at he feed ramp, the bore, etc., and most likely take it.
The guy said "don't rack the slide"... I said, "I'm not a tire kicker, I'm a serious buyer... But I'm not going to take anything if I can't check its condition." He got really huffy, crossed his arms and said really loudly "Lady!! Don't! RACK!! The slide!!!"
So I put it down and left.

I'd prob go to gunslinger show, I've had better luck there. And the bullbelt guy was there last time and hooked me up...might need another, or two.

OK we get it. You like the holster. You made that pretty clear 6 weeks ago.

And your point is that of what? I know the owner of this small business who happens to be putting out a great product, and therefore don't mind helping to promote his business. Are you suggesting I only post once and hope people bypass the current thread and search older threads for info on the current show? I'm sorry if you're offended, but now I'm encouraged to post this on every thread remotely associated with any Ft. Wayne gun show, not just the Coliseum show.

I just don't see the point of going to the Ft. Wayne gunshows at the coliseum anymore. I couldn't tell you how many I've been to, but I can tell you I've never come across what I'd consider to be a great deal. I wish that wasn't the case, but unfortunately I just haven't been impressed at a Ft. Wayne gun show in years. On the other hand, if I were actually looking for something in particular like an expensive scope I'd probably go just to hold some side by side.

Honest question, what great deals have you all gotten at the gun show that's motivated you to go back?

 

[Drakkule]

I will be setting up at the old K's show, I just like that show better because of cost, and I have done good there before. I'm not a dealer, so saving a few bucks matters a bit more. Jet Girl, stop by and say hi, if you come to the gunslingers show.

I will do that!

It takes more than the likes of you to offend me. Promote your buddy's business, pad your post count, shout it from the rooftops I really don't shive a git! I just found it amusing.

 

[Tnichols00]

Sounds like I will be at Gunslingers.. The only exception to this is if Brad is at the Columbium and has a deal I cant resist.

Been so long since I have found a " great " deal I'm not sure i'd know it if I saw it... That goes for not only the shows, but also shops, online, classifieds, ect...

I continue to go more for finding the harder to find items... Also, I am limited on time and I really enjoy having vendors like Brad, ZX Guns, Ranger Supply, GI Joe's, and another couple smaller vendors who I always check with on reloading supplies under one roof... I do understand $11.00 to enter and park upsets many, but IMO, the convenience of having several vendors at one site is worth it...

 

[PGRChaplain]

K's is $5.00 I believe.

I'll be at the MEMORIAL COLISEUM show with blades.

 

[JetGirl]

K's is $5.00 I believe.

...And free parking.

Since I will be hosting a newbie, I might likely decide to patronize both shows.

That's a fair answer. I've just never bought anything at a gun show and I've sort of lost interest in them because of it.

I would like to see Brads whole selection of things I can cut my fingers with.

 

[Captain Bligh]

Back in the day the show at the Coliseum used to be a great place to buy a gun. There were many new gun vendors with prices lower than you could touch in a LGS. A smart shopper who knew prices in a LGS, could pay parking, admission fee, and still walk out spending less money on a new gun than would be spent in the LGS. I bought a few pistols there. No more. Many vendors left and the show now seems to be predominately used stuff and associated goods. I still go once in a while to see if things have changed. Once there I regret it and wish I had my admission and parking money back. YMMV.

I'll make sure to bring plenty of Band-Aids!

 

[Drakkule]

Brad always seems to have something I just have to get.

Maybe the paper towels if you see me looking at the Junglas.

 

[Bapak2ja]

K's is $5.00 I believe.

And you get a free hot dog with the admission this time!! I am going to Gunslinger. Just can't handle the cost of the Coliseum anymore, especially as I can buy their products at better prices at the LGS like Sniper, Tomlinsons, and ZX—with the exception of Brad's Kinves, of course.

Brad, do you have an Esee Damascus in yet? If so I'd love to get it Saturday...

Knife Lady has the ESEE Damascus Izula's in stock and I will have them at the show this weekend.
