Went To The Denver Gun Show Today....

Good to know. Now even less need for another gun.

I think I've discovered the proper apathy number for someone my age is >50 firearms

Seems like the last three or four gun shows I've been to, it's the same sellers, same high prices, and I go home empty handed again. I understand everybody wants to make a couple of bucks, but when they are asking damn near retail prices on everything, why bother ? Why not just go to lgs,and get a new one, with a warranty.

Agreed that too many sellers at todays Gunshows are selling at retail prices.
I will be looking for some parts for a project 1911 and for a good deal on S&W 36 Airweight as my follow on project. I would love a round butt-ed 36 but all I'm finding Is square butt-ed. My other problem has been all the old airweights I'm finding fall into two catagories, Beautiful 98% collectables ($$$) and overpriced, shot out and rusty junk. Need one in the middle, tight but holster worn for a fair price...
At this point the search is the all the fun. Get to meet the nicest folks on the quest, so I'm in no hurry.

Exactly! And you don't have to pay $8 to get into the LGS. Plus, you know where to find him if something is wrong when you get it home.

That's one nice thing about our two monthly shows, both run by the same group. Parking is free, admission is free, all it cost is gas and pogy bait for Spyer Tattoo my chief head of security, plus any damage incurred at the tables.

Oh and medical bills if I buy anything.
