You're missing something big. It's the one day each year when Holder tells the truth.

:headscratch I guess you didn't make it?

Lewisville's is coming up, June 31 and July 1. I haven't been to L-ville's before and plan on trying it this weekend. I also haven't looked up when the next Lone Star Gun Show is.

You must have a different calendar than me. I can't find June 31 on it. :headscratch Maybe I am missing something.
:oops: Nope, you're not missing a thing. I, however, seem to be. :lol:

Did you go to the one about a month ago?
Yes that was the one.
I also thought that one was small, but the last one I was before that was about 10 years earlier in Dallas at Market Hall or something. That thing was huge. It was where they hold boat shows and RV shows, but was instead filled with guns. I'm expecting the Lewisville show to be about the same size as that Lone Star Show except with a few different vendors.

Anyone been to prior Lewisville gun shows or Lone Star shows and noticed if Eezox is sold there? A few members have given it high praise, so I'd be interested to check it out.

I was going to get it at a local gunshow -- had located a dealer that sold it at gun shows -- but I ended up buying it online here: http://www.suburbansportinggoods.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I got it from them because they have flat rate $5.50 shipping, which is cheaper than buying directly from Eezox! Plus no tax.

Nice find! Thanks for that - I might run over to the Lewisville show to see if it's there (want to see what else is there too), but it's nice to have a back-up or cheaper option. :thumbs2:

Got back from the Lewisville show. I think it was nicer than the Lone Star show. I found some more pmags. Everyone had them for $14 or $15 without any discount for ten or more, but one guy would let me have them for $12 if I got ten. So, I got ten.

I also found me a light that I can mount to my Colt. I think its Elusive Wildlife, an XLR250 light with a green light that's supposed to good out to a couple hundred yards and a white light upgrade that's 1400 lumens that has a strobe.

I didn't think it was worth the drive I made last month, but I hadn't been to any shows in almost 10 years. I didn't make it to the Original FW Gun Show. I think that one is larger. I was really surprised by the Lewisville show. I'll be hitting that one again when it comes back around and it's also much closer for you.

Are you looking for the 9 or the .40 PPS? And, do you have to have a new one?
