Pensacola Gun Show Jan 16-17

[5lima30ret]

I remember going to a gunshow at the pensacola fairgrounds in 1985 admission was $2 w/ military ID and purchasing a brand new in the box Ruger Security Six stainless .357 for $239. Wish I still had that gun those are fantastic revolvers that are built to last a few lifetimes!

Went this morning and it’s not worth

Was the guy with all the nice Smith and Wesson revolvers there?
He’s usually set up on the right hand side and all his stuff is in nice cabinets.
I’ve had a hankering lately for a Model 60.

Disgusting

Thank you mac the knife for a very informative post. I would like to go tomorrow, but it looks like it would be a super spreader place with most not wearing mask. Those prices are about what I was expecting.

Can you pay with 10 9mm bullits? One double aught 12 ga round?

I think I'd just spend the dollars (I mean I'm not, but...) They're much easier to get more of.

Yay capitalism!

All of these people save the ones between 18-22 have had years to prepare. They just preferred to spend their money on other shit. Free MFing country and I give absolutely zero Fs that they are getting bent over when it comes to stuff.

No argument from me. I slowed down when it hit $8 and quit going when it hit $9.
It was just entertainment for me. I rarely found anything I wanted.
But, sounds like it’s crowded lately so they won’t miss us.

They will miss us once things get back to normal "IF" they ever do! But you can bet that they will never lower the price for admission.

It will get back to normal - capitalism. Supply is going into overdrive and at some point it will out pace demand. Prices will go down.

 

[M60Gunner]

Once most things are outlawed it will def slow down lol

Agreed, UNLESS there is an outside force preventing the supply from catching up to demand.

With the ammo tax and no online shopping there will have to be a new normal,maybe where it is today

could be sidelined by no online sales, but it will get close.

Glad to see everyone is social distancing properly in the pic....

I doubt the price for admission will...

 

[Duckyou]

I doubt the price for admission will...

that will double...

 

[Ron]

Someday there may no longer be such a thing as a gun show the way this country is going...

 

[FrankT]

I would think that is very possible
