Today's gun show in El Paso

Went to the gun show today in El Paso. I did not know what to expect. But is was MUCH better than the show I went to with my son in Las Cruces a few months ago. Way better.

I haven't been to a gun show since around 6 months into the plandemic. It really sucked then.

Better how?

Better how?

More guns and accessories, more ammo, more people, less non gun related vendors. I think that does it.

I bet ammo was still way overpriced wasn't it?

The experience wasn't too bad overall, I enjoyed it a lot, but my wallet didn't. While the ammo prices were still higher than usual, they seemed to be consistent with what we've seen over the past four years. I didn't buy ammo though, I roll my own.

I share the same sentiment as Alan – this time, the show was much better. There was a noticeable increase in attendance, and it was refreshing to come across vendors who genuinely wanted to sell firearms rather than just showing them off.

On Saturday, I arrived early, specifically for an odd-fitting pistol red dot that would fit my BB6. Fortunately, I found one that matched the base almost immediately, and I got it for a fair price. Additionally, I stumbled upon several other items I had forgotten I needed/wanted. It was a success all around!

IMO, big improvement.
