Anybody check it out today? I was thinking about swinging by tomorrow on my way to work. Not looking for anything in particular, just have a bad case of G.A.S.

I am going tomorrow as well. Gonna see what kinda deal I can make on my Colt Combat Elite for a Kimber Super Carry Pro. Hoping for the best, but expect the worst. But it really depends on how well the dealers did today. With the economy the way it is, they may just be dealing tomorrow.

Not as packed as before. Someone is selling Winchester primer for $50 per 1000. OMG.
Didn't see the mythical XDm 45 though.

Slightly less then usual number of vendors. Consumer attendance much lighter then usual, might be some deals to be had on Sunday.

There's a High Caliber Gun Show in Tyler this coming weekend. My local dealer didn't go to the GRB this time. He says that shows are real slow this time of year. BTW, I've seen WWB .380 on the shelves in three different Wal-Marts this past week for $32/100. It will be interesting to see its asking price at the show.
Oh well, I assume the target lady will be right inside the door as usual?

I saw some .380 at the GRB as low as $20 yesterday... don't remember the brands. There seemed to be a good supply (of course that was YESTERDAY.)

$20/50 = $40/100 (+/-)

Pretty much the same as usual. I went yesterday to get some work done to my Glock. Got extened mag and slide release installed for $27.00. Fairly good deals on ammo and optics if thats what your looking for but other than that I didn't see any really good deals.

Yeah, my primary reason for going was also to have work done on a couple of Glocks. At first I missed his sign and thought he wasn't there and I had made the trip for nothing. I had trigger works honed and 3.5 connectors installed. Show was somewhat light in attendance but T Graham was busy all day.

Light crowd. No great deals that I saw but it looks like some of the Obama hysteria has subsided.
One guy was selling dogtags for $25. I didn't have the heart to ask what made them better than the milspec tags I can get for less than $10 most places.

Yeah I got there around 11:00 and he already had a couple hour back log. I ended walking around with my gun case in my hand for a couple hours. People were asking me hey you selling that Glock? cause they would see me walking by so many times.

I did. AJC or one of the others up front had it for $600 or so. Feels OK but at 150% the price of the XD9 from the same dealer, I wasn't even tempted.

I picked up another Springfield XD9sc (green polymer so its different than the XD9sc that I bought my wife 2 weeks ago
2 weeks ago, bought from Bachmann with Extended and standard mags, paddle holster, double mag holder and XD Loader for 429.95, today same price at Bachmann, but got it at AJC for $415.
Now, time to buy another holster and sell my Sigma 9mm and possibly Taurus PT111 Millenium Pro and Minituck (after I get a new holster for the XD9
