I'll be there for sure, I thought it was going to be the first weekend in February

That's the monthly show at the SA Event Center (Marbach and 410). The show at the Alzafar Temple has been going on for several years, but it only occurs a few times a year...

"Several"?!?? Shucks - I was goin' to 'em out there in the 90's!

It was a pretty good show this morning, crowded but not too crowded. I picked up a 1915 Sestroryetsk Mosin-Nagant M91 but I think I am going to ease up for a while as I've been on a buying spree for too long.

Best of all, none of the BS that went on at the Austin show last weekend. Folks were walking around with private guns for sale, and I saw a few transactions appearing to go on in the parking lot. So it was business as usual in our great city!

Cheers! M2

+1 on the SA show, I was there today from Austin, same opinion as majormadmax. I had other business in SA so caught the show, will also hit the show 6 Feb at the new SA location.

I was there when they opened the doors. I was disappointed that so many vendors still had their tables covered or were still setting up an hour after opening.

I was looking for reloading supplies but the usual vendors were not here this time. So much for a January gun show.

 

[TexasRedneck]

Anyone goin' tomorrow?

I was there when they opened the doors. I was disappointed that so many vendors still had their tables covered or were still setting up an hour after opening.

Actually, they had the doors opened a little early so I wasn't so bothered by the covered tables; but once it had been opened for a half hour and there were still a few covered I was irritated.

However, it seems like everything was up and running shortly after that, and there was a ton of vendors there, so I felt it was well worth the price of admission!

Anyone goin' tomorrow?

I plan on heading over there. Haven't been to a Saxet show yet

 

[TexasRedneck]

What time? I'm thinkin' around noon...good excuse for a bike ride!

 

[Texas Bulldog]

I plan on going around noon as well.

My name is Joe and i'll be there with my fiance.... i got a buzzed head now.

 

[TexasRedneck]

Well, scratch that - the deadbolt on the front door just went TU.....<sigh> Lowe's, here I come....

 

[Adionik]

Meh...i'm thinking about whether I should go or not. Just picked up a Bianchi holster last night

 

[Texas Bulldog]

Good show, probably the best I have been to.

Picked up some 33rd mags for my glock and some new leather

JOe

 

[TexasRedneck]

This stinks - got the new lockset installed - of course, I had to rekey it or mess w/changing all the OTHER keys here at the house....but it's done.

 

[majormadmax]

It was a good show, and it usually is; but I still think the SAXET shows at the SA Event Center is a little better if not only because it is bigger. Speaking of which, the next one is 6-7 February...

 

[TexasRedneck]

Yeah - but there's a different "flavor" to the one at the Shrine - dunno just what it is, but it seems like there's a different type of attendee and some different vendors - but maybe it's just an illusion.
