Milton Gun Show 09/25 & 26?

[Rebel_Rider1969]

I bought a Super Blackhawk yesterday that I’ve been wanting since the ‘70s.
Yeh, I’m kind of a procrastinator.
When I was in college several of my buddies in Panama City went down and bought Super Blackhawks. They were working full-time, not going to school.
What little money I had went for books and tuition so no Blackhawk for me.
I always said “one day”.
I don’t have a use in the world for it but yesterday was the day and it was made in the ‘70s.
The 3 guys behind the seller’s table were great guys and I enjoyed talking to them.

Pix? Caliber?

If its .41mag, I'll be SUPER jealous!

Pretty sure all SUPER Blackhawks are 44 magnum. This one is.

Very nice. I think that's a "hunter" model? (Trigger guard)

Some day I am going to start collecting S&W revolvers. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough money to do that now.

I will take donations.

The Hunter models I’ve seen were stainless and have integrated scope mounts.
I don’t think they made the Hunter model when this one was made in 1978.

Honestly no... The Milton Gun Show is one of the hit or miss things. Pretty sure Bill Rogers is the only one that ever puts on a gun show there. The building is too small for the big players.

What I'm waiting for is the Hadji Temple in Pensacola off of 9 Mile Road. I think that is the best show in this area.

I no longer goto the Pensacola Fair grounds one. I just don't care for it.

I went to the show yesterday, met and talked to several forum members who had tables there. It was a good experience. Good show. I will definitely go back.

Something interesting that I noticed was that in a lot of cases the prices on used guns were Cheaper than on our own forums, and the dealers would actually "deal." It's crazy, some of the prices being asked on here. Just saying.

It's like how a convenience store costs more for instant gratification. Here on the forum everything's available, conveniently, with no need to wait for the next show

 

[Raven]

They've got candy bars today.......$2

The cheeseburger meals were only $6! That's a great deal for a made-to-order cheeseburger, chips and an ice cold coke

You're right! I have a Gen 3 Glock 19 that I will sell for One Thousand Dollars with immediate delivery. PM me.

Another thing is anyone can put on a gun show. You don't need to be someone special. You think Bill Rogers does this to be a nice guy... Noooo he is making money. 8 Bucks to get in and whatever they are charging for the tables... He is making money.

If this forum got together we could pull one off. Milton would probably the easiest to deal with.

Does he have the tables or does the auditorium supply them?
I THINK they charge $100 per table to rent but JJ or Nate could say for sure.

Nothing wrong with Mr. Rogers making money. It's called Capitalism. I wonder what he has to pay for rent and for liability insurance, which no doubt is not cheap for a gun show. Then, you gotta pay your workers. Lets not forget holding out Social Security taxes and income tax on your employees. Or, tell them that they are independent contract workers and that they have to report and pay all of that out of the minimum wage that you are paying them. Let's see how that goes over. Security isn't cheap either, in fact, it's expensive.
For me, I'll just pay my $8.00 bucks to get in and just enjoy the show.

Yes I agree nothing wrong with making money. I'm all about that. I was just making a point that anyone can put on a Gun Show.

Remember our shin dig we had a JJ's now that was Fun. I think we did that a million years ago. LOL

Maybe set that up again...

Make it free for the public and a reasonable table free and the turnout would be huge. Promote all over the region/multiple states.

 

[Jdcujo]

I was kinda disappointed. I mean only 5 dollar admission but ya

What good is a huge turnout if the guy putting it on is losing money?
You can’t make it free. You’d have to raise the price of tables so high that there would be no vendors.
Then you’d just have a bunch of tightwads standing around in an empty auditorium staring at each other.

I had a great time both days this weekend at a Milton gun show... that was still cheaper than the Pensacola gun show and a whole county closer to the house than the Pensacola gun show and had a way higher percentage of my favorite kind of merchandise and vendors than the Pensacola gun show. Win/win/win for me
