Stupid things Overheard at 1500

[x10]

As we all know not everyone who owns guns and/Or goes to the gunshow is Albert Einstein so lets hear what you overheard

My best one of the day

One older fella with a younger guy,
Young guy stops to look at a Para Ord 1911

Older guy says, "Stay away from those Para Ordanance they are junk, I heard that the older ones were made of cheap metal and the new ones are made real cheap"

I just smiled to myself and walked away, I don't know if I should laugh or cry, I'm sure if I would have told the guy I've shot one for years in target and action sports and have nothing but good things to say about the products from Para

Everybody's experiences can be different.

I've owned three Para Ordnance products and had unresolved issues with every one of them.

The frame on the P 14 & P10 was battered to hell in just a few thousand rounds, the Companion LDA never did feed right until I spent almost as much money as I spent on buying it with a 1911 smith to make it right.

Para's much touted customer service and warranty struck out on every one.

Funny about every four years (the timing between each I've owned), I start to think maybe they had it figured out by now. Don't think I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this time, even though I like the way the GI Expert looks.

It was not at 1500 but at Fort Wayne Show last weekend. I was working a booth and this dork and his Mom asked bout almost every larger weapon, "is this a cop killer gun? Will it go through body armor?" They did this so many times the store owner said "I am concerned because you keep asking that. What is your problem?"

+1 for the store owner!

You knowthey were probably doing a hidden camera expose and being sorely dissapointed.

HAHAHAHA! That's rich! My wife loves me and respects my hobbies and interests, as I do hers, but she HATES going to the 1500. Use to be, she'd say she wanted to go (she had attended a couple of them) but complained nearly the entire time and was driving me nuts to the point of frustration making me want to leave. Now she doesn't even want to go, I still ask her each time and she never goes. Works out better for both of us, I enjoy my time there better and she doesn't have to "suffer" through it.

Probably dating or just married.

I would (ab)use that logic in other facets of the relationship as well.

My wife actually enjoyed going to the 1500. Of course we've only been to one since we got married 6 years ago.

The funniest thing I saw today was a mixmaster Garand for $1500.

she HATES going to the 1500

I used to love it, but the last couple of times I have been disappointed. Prices and selection are not what they used to be, which I could live with - but the biggest thing to me is they just flat out need a bigger space. I am not particularly claustrophobic, but I don't like being packed like sardines in there to where you can hardly move or breathe, let alone get around to see stuff.
