HADJI SHRINE-PENSACOLA GUN & KNIFE SHOW, JULY 16th & 17th

[Seanpcola]

Got tied up at breakfast with dad, then had to run back home to talk to the contractor when he decided to work today and meet Hoss driving in from Mobile. So, got there about 9:15. Saw Tackleberry at the door. Met up with Kendive and Tailchaser, finally remembered I needed to call Nate and let him know I was there. Thank you once again Nate for the great service. I'm sorry I didn't call sooner, I never think to check the forum from my phone for messages.

Saw a couple of GCGF T-shirts in the crowd but in the confusion I didn't find out who they were.

As a relative newbie to gun shows I will say that I just liked this one better than the fairgrounds.

Hoss and I didn't stay real long. Wanted to go shooting and thought it best to get out theRe before the usal afternoon monsoons came through.

Oh, didn't see Sawman. Looked for you.

It was pretty crowded. I bought a holster from HR Custom Holster for my Shield 40 and began the process of breaking it in. I also found Carhart belts at Tractor Supply for $ 25 that are good stiff leather belts to use with it.

I saw what I previously believed was mythical - a KelTec CMR-30 on one of the AA Tactical tables - asking only $999.00 but I guess when you have the only one around you can ask what you want.

 

[sjustice64]

Damm, are they selling at that price? I've had 2 that sold at 649

I was there bright and early this morning. I carried five guns in with me and left with the same five guns. I did manage to pick up an older M16 magazine and some good tasting jerky. I even helped a man identify an old M16 upper assembly he bought. He thought he bought an old SP1 upper. What he bought was a late model 604 upper assembly. He stole it for $300. The barrel alone is worth more than $300. He said the guy was asking $350 for it. I wish I had sold something. I would have offered him $350 for it right there. Anyhow, I still have my foreign WWII firearms to sell. Oh well.

They have recently increased their pricing on everything. I've been using them for transfers, but now that they've raised them to $40 I won't be.

 

[HughJoergan]

Really, $40... Wow!!!

Nate, I love you buddy!

 

[Murfpcola]

I did see 2 uppers for $200 which surprised me. No BCG. I was not in the market so I did not even look for brands or condition. I also looked at the HR custom holsters. I want something like that for my shield that is headed to Nate, but not sure exactly what holster I will get yet. It will be my first "high end" holster. I have not been to a gun show in close to ten years but I am glad my admission will go to a good cause.

Why don't you ever call?!?!

After hearing Nate and the rest of you guys' discussion, I'm glad I decided not to drive over to check out the show, sounds like it was business as usual for a gun show in this area. I was trying to remember the last really good gun show that I went to, from my best recollection it was in Hampton, VA in either 1999 or 2000 . The gun shows up in Birmingham back in the 80's were some of the best ones I've ever been to, wish they were still like that!

 

[FrommerStop]

While people were not selling most things dirt cheap, overall it was a good event since it was put on locally for a good cause. Many sellers think it is a seller's market due to the demand for guns. I hope tomorrow's attendance is also good since I do very much want to see this local show succeed and run several times per year. I was surprised to see that one vendor had quite a few of those expensive Keltec bullpup .308's there for the modest price of only $1900 each. No way I would pay such for a keltec. Never had a keltec that functioned through more than a magazine out of the box. Now days I am only buying accessories, training gear (Just bought another air soft pistol and have an AK airsoft on order), and ammo. Eventually NV, armor, and other things will be acquired.

I guess I saw you but didn't get a chance to go over and introduce myself. I almost wore my shirt.

I had things to do today, and was waiting to read these forums to decide whether to go tomorrow or not. Think I will stay home and save the seven bucks. I will be shooting Trap at the PRPC Trap range at 2PM tomorrow, Sunday. Come out and join us. Any shotgun will do, and loaners will be available. Bring a box of shells, and the cost is only four dollars a round of twenty five birds.

[Chaos]

Waiting for Wareagle 50 (Shawn) to say I told you all so! I'm glad I decided not to go...

 

[Welldoya]

I was gonna go but had to deliver a china cabinet for my wife, then had to stop by Tractor Supply and Walmart and it was 2:30 by the time I got home . Figured my time would be better spent mowing the yard.
Those Keltec PM-30s that you guys were talking about were on sale a couple of weeks ago at PSA for $450.
Any pre-lock S&Ws at the show? Particularly model 60 or 36.

Richard, it was good to see you again. I had no idea that you were a GCGF member until yesterday.

 

[BigDaddy]

That little gun shop out of Milton, had some decent priced guns. Mikes had a nice display as well

My wallet won't let me......

I am getting the itch again though. Not that one I told you about last time, but the itch for a new shiny trinket!
