Went to the Nations Gun Show

Damn it was crowded. I drove by on Friday at 3:30pm and the line was half a mile long. At $12 a head to get in it gets steeper and steeper. It has to be a fire code violation to pack that many people into the Expo Center.

I heard Saturday was the same but worse.

So my Son and I went Sunday afternoon. Still packed, asses to elbows. AKs a plenty for under $400. Thousands of "scary black guns".  More women than ever. All trends I like. Overheard conversations were cracking me up. I over heard multiple conversations about "Real vs Range" guns, or "Real vs Hobby" guns or "Work vs Play" guns. People must be reading gun blogs.  I need to post about that too.

I was mostly looking at AR15s for my next light rig. The one I liked the subjective feel of most was the Smith & Wesson Model M&P PSX. Several were priced at $895, which was way below MSRP.

My friend T-Bolt will be interested to know that I saw an orginal DeLisle for $2200. It was the first time I ever saw one in person. When I was about to take a pic of it with my cell phone the guy had a "Dude, No Pictures" conniption. Oh well.

--Glocks, ARs, and AKs were flowing out of there by the hundreds.

    I was there too. Why the hell is the price of 1911's still going up? There is less of them and all were up.
