The INDY 1500 SUCKS

[Fenway]

Price of admission is too high, $3 to park, beef jerky, airsoft, no good deals, babies in carriages clogging up the isles, it was too hot, it was too crowded, the nut guy burned them this time, it's not like the old days, ammo prices way too high, Raven Concealment forgot their kydex etc etc etc





I'm just joking but I always see these comments pop up after a 1500. Where else can you find that much guns and gear under one roof for 3 days. I always enjoy it even if I don't find anything to buy

i bought so much stuff. i found all sorts of great deals.

I love the 1500...it's a great place to at least see some items in person and chat with fellow ingo'ers. Yes, maybe you'll pay more than ordering something from an online store, but then you get to leave with it that very same day and start playing with it right away. I only went for and hour-ish and still called it a win. I've paid just as much for things I'm not as happy with...insurance, presents for in-laws, and bad movies are just a few examples.

And, I took all of the comments before the last 1500 and didn't park in the appointed gun show parking then. Followed the signs this time and was WAY closer than before...maybe, just maybe the event organizers know what they're talking about! Even the leo stopping traffic was amusing, so bonus!

i got 550 rounds of 10mm from one of the site advertisers at a descent price...im not complaining...i did think gun prices were high though

i rarly buy anything there besides primers and powder but its a great place to go if you are debating between a few guns. you can handle them all and go buy them somwhere else that isn't so expensive.

I've only been to the one in January 2010. My only problem was that it was a spur of the moment trip and I didn't really have time to plan my "needs". There were; however, plenty of deals to be had if you looked in the right places. Just waayyy to many places to look, and too many stinky weirdos in the way. I will certainly attend another one.

I quit going 10 years ago. They sucked then and still do.

I saw some prices higher than at Gander!!!

 

[robbran144]

i was looking at g26's all except 1 or 2 were just as high as gander mtn

 

[curraheeguns]

Hey, I like Beef Jerky!!

 

[Hoosier Gun Coat]

I bought a really cool plastic ninja sword!!!



CRAP!!! I just broke my sword.

 

[DRob]

Wow!

Saying the show sucks is one thing. Saying the prices are higher than at Gander Mountain...........now that's bad!

ahhhh! your thinking out loud, your dis-claimer of "I'm just joking" seems so questionable??

Left with a lot of AR parts, some ammo, ammo cans, tannerite and a RAT knife. Got to meet a few INGO'ers and learn some new things. All in all I would say it was a one of the better 1500s I've been too. Just like shopping you need to research before you buy. I actually saw quite a few firearms cheaper than you could get them anywhere else online or gun shops.

Some people wouldnt be happy if the guns were free.

 

[The Meach]

people just don't know how to haggle.

I walked out of there with a 18.5 inch barrel for my Mossburg, a new sling, 250 rds of 7.62x39, 500 rds of .22, plus a scope, mount, muzzle break, and bipod for my SKS. Plus some food, targets, and an INGO Tac hat and sponsorship..

(drumroll)..For under 150 bucks.

Not to mention I got to meet some fellow ingo-ers.

I personally LOVE the 1500

This INGO member has some brilliant, insightful comments regarding gun shows. We should all hang on his every word:
