1. I have done both shows over the last few years. Tipton is not even close to being as big as Kokomo.
Spasmo and I went by the Tipton show today. Saw lots of used handguns being sold at prices higher than new. I saw a brand new XDm that was covered in mud and dirt being sold by a dealer (not a private seller). I saw several Mosin Nagant M91/30's going for >$200, which is almost three times what they were actually worth.
