Houston Gun Show

[IXLR8]

It is still the biggest show in town. Perhaps it will be scaled back. The last GRB, and Pasadena shows this year, were much smaller, with less selection than previous shows.

I will still attend, since I have 2 FTF's backout of sales recently...

 

[M. Sage]

If I can, I'll post my table number tomorrow evening.

 

[M. Sage]

My friend in Houston says our tables will be B15/B16 area. End cap. Red covers on some of the tables.

I'll have TGT business cards on the table.

I'll look for yall. I probably won't be there until Sunday.

It was an ok show. I only saw one 38/44 HD for sale and it was pretty chewed. No Registered Magnums available. No 38/44 Outdoorsman's. My shooting buddy got a bushmaster carbine out the door for just over 600 and a 238 with a laser for 650 if I remember right.

I bought some 38 AMU ammo, and some old 38 special ammo for the collection.

If you like Colts, Winchesters, or Glocks this is the place for you. Prices were either extremely high or quite reasonable. Nothing in between that I could see. Sort of like the $55/1000 primers.

There were some good deals on Sig 556 Rifles. A standard for $795, and a SWAT model for $997. They were Sig Re-certified but looked new.

Most of the rest of the things for sale, looked like someone was cleaning out their safe and selling what they did not like....

I ended up with a RRA 458 SOCOM upper, and a bunch of Magpul parts to complete another stripped lower I am building into a 300 Blackout. Will post pictures of my haul tomorrow.

There seemed to be a few fire sales, too. I saw some pretty damn good deals, but like someone else said, it was either too high or good deal.

My loot:

Otis AR cleaning kit (bought before the show opened). $15.
Bianchi MH05 holster - looks like the M12 military flap holster, but has a locking thumb break and is built to take a gun with a light. $10.
Howard Leight electronic headphones for $35.
Went in half on an ELCAN C79. Seller told us after we bought it that he'd just replaced tritium in it. I checked before we bought, tritium is working. $400 and an Aimpoint ratchet mount I've got laying around.

I picked up another Beretta - a 92FS for $499 at Bachman's table. Good deal.

I picked up a sweet Colt New Agent in 9mm that I'm excited about... If you drive a silver F-150 & you parked next to a black Mercedes, yuck fou & I hope you die.... Okay I don't hope you die but I worked my ass off to pay for that car. Only drive it on weekends when it's not raining otherwise it's parked in my garage. Thanks for hooking me up with my first door ding you rat bastard.

Have you taken the 458 out to play, yet? Looks like it would make a great hog hunting/exterminating round.

My M3 got backed in to, luckly they only broke the $100 a pop carbon end plates on the front splitter. Tight parking lot + lots of big trucks = fail

Unfortunately no, it has been pouring rain here all day. Hoping to get a few rounds through it this week before I leave for work again.

Got hit myself two times at a gun show reliant. Front hood still has a dent. Did they leave a # either time? no.

I was also driving a car. That seems to be the issue, no one's looking for cars.

 

[M. Sage]

A car? At a gun show!?

What are you, Californians?

Gotta man up at the gun show. Bet you even forgot your tickets!

I was kind of thinking the same thing, but didn't say it!
