    Do me a favor and leave a 66% IPSC in the back of your truck so it can get a little surface rust on it and we can make a deal. lol ;)

    This will be my first time going to the 1500, I know I'll get my butt kicked with parking...
    Anyway, I'm mainly looking for a mouse gun for my wife. She's ready to start carrying, but she is skinny and short, so it's hard for her to conceal anything but a mouse gun. Might look at the S&W Bodyguard, LCP/LC9, or Bersa Thunder... Honestly, probably won't buy much, but mainly seeing what the wife likes.

    I imagine I'll be spending some time talking to Brad & Knife lady. Possibly looking for an ESEE-5 and a Griptilian.

    Might have to check out Que's Junglas if he's there when I'm walking around on Friday.

    I'll probably be going on Saturday. Looking for a scope mount for my savage model 16 .243 I bought at the last 1500. Looking for a scope for it and for my AR as well.
    Might look into another 9 mm and a 380 or 38 for the wife. Prolly be goin by myself to have some "me" time!

    I'm going Saturday, looking for a RIA 1911, or a Taurus Judge. Not sure yet I change my mind every day. My first stop will be the 21st century table. Also probably get some bulk ammo depending on price.

    I'll be there with another INGOer and friends at opening on Friday. Haven't been in a couple years. I'm gonna need a shopping cart!

    My short list:
    GSG-5 SD (Plainfield?)
    .40 Semi-Auto Full Frame, probably Sig SP2022 or Glock 22
    .38 LW, probably Ruger LCR or S&W Bodyguard (21st had a smokin' deal on these at Shipshewanna but I missed out)
    7.62x54R ammo, case of surplus plus some new factory
    Couple new holsters
    A new knife (not sure what)

    Anything else that's a good deal, especially ammo, will probably be picked up too.

    I know my fellow INGOer is in the market for a Kahr CW-9 or a Kel-Tec PF-9 but he wants to handle the PF-9 first before he makes the call. He'll probably be getting a new scope too.

    I'd like to pick up an AK if I can move my sks between now and then. Not sure if I could get a decent trade allowance. Anybody ever trade anything in up there.

    Probably grab some reloading supplies also.

    I think it's possible the wife and I and her dad will be going Friday. That's been batted around, at least. I'll definitely stop at the INGO table. Not sure if we'll be buying anything. F-i-L might, though.

    I don't even know if I'll make it this show...

    But what I WANT are mags and ammo for my AK-74.

    *sigh*

    I've never been to the 1500 and i don't like carrying a lot of cash around - do the tables take plastic or checks?

    Also, I don't carry (yet) and I don't own a holster (looking for one at 1500), do I just show my unloaded pistol to the door guys and get it zip tied and that's it?

    thanks

    Most of the actual shop booths take plastic from what I have seen in the past. And as far as the holster, yeah show unloaded gun, get it ziptied and head straight to the raven concealment systems booth and get an order in. It will take a couple hours to make it so be there early and make it your first stop.
