I was wondering how many of our members will be at the gun show at Reliant Hall today?

I have a plan...

I am going to trick the wife into going to a "brunch"...Feeding them first always lowers their awareness... :lol:

Then I plan on driving in the general direction of the show...Telling her that I believe there is a "show" (implying a crafts show) at the Reliant Center...

Don't worry...She can't get mad...She did the same thing to me last year..."Show", implying a "gunshow"...But it turned out to be a "crafts show"...

I'll let y'all know what hospital and room number, K? :lol:

I'll be there around 1:00 or 2:00 today. I'm hoping to find some cheap reloading supplies.

Stevie_d,
Glad to see my wife is not the only one to use that trick to go to a craft show. As many crafts as she does, I wish I could get her into leather working (holsters, mag pouches). What do you think?

Well......you could be telling the truth Stevie! As you know, it is very very common for a craft show to be part of the reliant gun show....they usually have some sort of collectible tables and craft stuff at the back! I made the show a couple of months ago and think I am going to save my pennies for Mesquite!! I have talked my wife into allowing new sights on the G17 so I must start thinking about something new to work toward :twisted:

Today was range day since likely will rain tonight and tomorrow, so will be there early Sunday. You guys remember there is a Gem and Mineral Show in adjacent hall so wives who are non-gun can go to that while you walk the floor.
My wife person actually going to this one with me. The little KAHR I got her has sparked some interest. Needs a holster, and ...........

If anyone is going I would like you to look for something for me, please. I never get to the shows because I am always working on Saturday and Sundays. I am looking for a vintage Colt Mark IV Series 70 Box. I would like the box to be made around 1979-1981. I will pay you for the box, shipping, and your time. If anyone finds one please let me know.

You're right, they do tend to have a few tables in the back corner selling crafts-sy stuff...

A combo deal... :lol:

I heading to the show today to "look around". I've got an itch to pick up a PM9 with night sights, so I figure I can look around for a good deal. Anyone care to point me to vendor with good pricing? I may look at revolvers too, but I've pretty well decided on the PM9 instead. Should be there before noon or around noon.

I had planned on going but got shot.......by my doctor that is. I started running fever on Thursday and went to the doctor on Friday and found out I had walking pneumonia. He gave me 2 shots of penecilin and what he calls his cocktail mix. Only place I went was to bed.

I hope those of you that went had a great time and found some great bargains.

I had read somewhere that the Houston Gun Collectors Association was going to allow ammo sales at their shows, beginning with this one. Was this correct?

Yes, I was there yesterday, there is loaded ammo and components available.

I did see some loaded ammunition, but was disappointed at the very small number of booths selling componets. I ended up not picking anything up there that I had intended.

I think the number of vendors will probably increase as more of them realize that they may sell ammo and components now at Reliant.

At least let's hope so...
