has anyone been to the gun show at the armory in indy, is it worth going to.

I enjoyed it. Not nearly as big as the 1500, but it was worth the 5 bucks (to me).

Good gun show and not so crowded.

Any gun show is o.k, this one is not crowded but not many deals, mostly small table top dealers, they are looking for deals off of Joe Public mostly!

I stopped and talked with Ron (TSG), about the merits of ACR vs. SCAR. Didn't see any great gun deals, but then I wasn't looking for anything but a SOCOM 16.

The main reason we went anyway, is the boy had decided he needed another knife. Ergo, I did end up spending at least the price of a hi-point at the table of Brad's Knives. (Spyderco's, a RAT , and some disposables) Brad and the KnifeLady are good people, and they have a lot of quality knives.

If you stop by, be sure and let them know you're on .

The Knife & Gun show at the armory on Holt Rd. is worth going to . I went today and saw decent prices on handguns and long guns. I didn't see any WOW deals but I didn't look at everything either. I did see some very good prices on knives. Not sure about the prices on Black Rifle stuff as that is not my forte, but there was a lot of Black Rifles and accessories present.

Aside from what is there, what is not there is alluring in itself.

What you don't find:
1. Over crowding inside the show. You can walk around and actually talk to people. Tables are not squeezed together with barely enough space to pass by someone.
2. High priced entry fee, its only $5.00 to get in.
3. Parking fee, no cost parking.

I wish I had heard about this show sooner. I am always looking to expand my collection. Any more coming up soon? (other than the 1500 in June)
