    Vmax, please let us know if its worthwhile. Seems like this show has been getting slimmer and slimmer over the past few years.

    I'll try and update you
    I did notice a big section that was missing last time I went
    There have usually been the 3 big wholesalers there and last time I think only 2 were there

    I ended up selling my Mossberg 930 for a good price
    My son sold a 10-22 also

    I looked hard at a Ruger Redhawk 45ACP/45Colt
    They were about $40 too high and wouldn't deal for cash

    Nothing else peaked my interest so I came home

    It's not what it was in the past but still better than most "mom and pop" shows. I took my grandson and he attended the Hunter Education course and passed. That left me all day to wander around and I did. Bought a few things including TSRA Life membership, spread lots of BS.

    It was ok. Not a ton of newer firearms, mostly the same stuff over and over again. But not terrible by any means.

    Wanted to bring home a pocket gun and/or gun safe, but nothing really knocked my socks off.

    Really need to do more research into 9mm single-stacks before I make a purchase, methinks.

    I thought the Market Hall show has really gone down hill. Lots of empty tables and the same old overpriced guns you see over and over. Dealers will offer you pennies on the dollar for anything you want to sell and price it outrageously over where it should be.
    Shows being what they are today, the Mesquite Rodeo show is this weekend. I'll probably go, but don't expect to see anything new....
