What did you get at the May 1500??

[phatgemi]

Based on number of posts/threads, I would have to say this show was not a whole lot to be excited about. My first miss in quite a few but schedule didn't allow me to go. No real needs but always nice to look around.

Finally made it out to the show late yesterday with the boys...it was their first time to go and their eyes were huge. They couldn't believe how big it was, but their only point of reference is the LGS's we drag them out to (wait till they go to the one in October). There was less traffic then previous shows I've been to but that was a welcome surprise since I was trying not to loose the kids and they were distracted by everything.

***Wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Brad (Brad's Knives) and Sheila (Knife Lady), you guys were very accommodating in chatting up my boy and were wonderful in picking out a starter with him. They were successful in getting our fire lit last night using that knife and there were many marshmallows that were toasted in your honor.

All in all we had a good time noodling the show and saw lots of INGO members to chat with.

 

[OkieGirl]

Sure did drop by. But, you were chatting up a buddy and I got dragged to the exit while you were engaged.

Oh...he will be so bummed when he reads this.

i saved 1/4 tank of gas, entrance fee, and a ton of stress by not going there. doubt i will ever go, unless a friend comes out here during a 1500.

Could not have said it better.

 

[Knife Lady]

Okie Girl I am glad to hear the fixed blade with the fire starter worked for your boy. It is a great little starter knife for practice.
Enjoy it and see you for the next one.

Didn't make it out to this one. Anyone see any xds 4.0's in bi-tone? What's the pricing been for them?

 

[dawg1981]

I bought a very nice M&P AR-15.. with some goodies, tactical scope and laser combo and some extra P-mags...very satisfied with the deal I got!

 

[bobbystoney]

Bought an old school swamp rat knife with a beautiful sheath. That pretty much emptied me out as I had planned on buying a tan Ingo shirt.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

My son accompanied me today. he got Alligator Beef jerky.
We picked up some strawberry cheesecake Fudge for Mom.

Spare firing pin, sight tool & Safety spring.
Grip plug. Sling.

Nothing terribly exciting.

ps no one had any winchester model 320 mags (or kimber 82 mags)

I was talked into going for the 1st time in over 2 years. Wow....how sad the 1500 has become. It's not really a gun show anymore at all. More of a trinket show. What few guns that were there, new and used, can be found online for at least 20% less. And no.....the attendees still haven't figured out what a shower is used for. A complete waste of time and money.

 

[Notavictim646]

Bought a new Benchmade Emissary from Brad (always a pleasure) and some other small items of little consequence.

 

[boogieman]

Got 2 pink ingo key chains and an ingo ar dust cover.
5 pounds of various powder
.308 cal bullets in different grains
.40 bullets
paracord sling
.300 win mag brass (got a good deal on this)
and traded a colt officer acp (nice gun just not for me) for a
colt delta elite which I have been wanting for many moons. I am happy happy

I regret not buying a CZ P07 9mm I seen at the show. I'm still kicking myself in the *** for not buying it.

List of what I did get:
2000 9mm bullets
1000 45acp bullets
4 pounds of Accurate No5
2 pounds of Accurate No7
1000 CCI small pistol primers
1000 pieces of 45acp brass
2000 pieces of 9mm brass

 

[rausch51]

Left empty handed. But I did spend a couple quality hours with my little brother, so that made it a worthwhile outing.

ZX had Ruger SR22s for $289, which was tough to pass on...

 

[afcolt]

I almost bought one of those Chiappa .22 revolvers. I did buy a Bersa Thunder .380 for the wife.

Looked for a Chiappa Little Badger or Double Badger, didn't find one.

Found a pretty good deal on some .22LR, .380, and some 9mm. Picked up a bit of 7.62x54r, some MREs, and a new ammo can.

It was a good day. The show didn't seem as big as normal, but it was quality over quantity.

 

[MAG58]

Didn't get a thing. Was mulling over the possibility of picking up an FN FNS-9 but passed.

I did see a bone stock M&P 9, standard full size, no goodies, that someone was asking 799.99 for. I stared at it for so long trying to figure out if it was a typo the guy thought I was interested.

 

[Bulldog49]

I bought a Ruger SR 1911 CMD for a great price.

 

[finishlineruss]

I picked up a Kimber master carry ultra, Stoner holster for the Kimber, Tetra gun cleaning kit, 4- 30 cal ammo cans and the 2014 gun laws by state and the Indiana firearms law reference books.

 

[indygunguy]

I went through real quick this afternoon. Grabbed a new Bull Belt and a Bobcat Steel tshirt.
