So went to the gun show today and had some cash burning in the ole pocket. Saw an old A5 pattern 12ga. made by Remington for $230 on a private party table, but kept looking. Bought some 223 ammo, and since I couldn't find anything else to buy, went back towards the table to offer $220 on...

Went to the new Goodman show near the Dayton airport to see how things have changed, if at all, since Nov. One dealer had the AK varient WASR with all the goodies, 2 30 rd. mags, bayonet, sling, pouch, etc. Price $529 + tax. That has been the price since Nov. The show right before the...

Here is the article in today's Cincinnati Enquirer about the announcement yesterday. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061118/NEWS01/611180383 The bottom line: the man was not charged, because it was determined that he acted in self-defense. This is not over, of course...

I continue to live in a "city" county for the past 42 years, but recently bought a small farm in the rural county where I grew up. This will be a week end place, reconnect to my roots, help preserve some of God's green earth, and do a little target shooting. So as not to alarm any of my...

For those of you in the buckeye state wondering when the next batch of CZ52's would hit the dealer's shelves. That day has arrived. Just came back from the ProGun show at the Westwood mall and at least 4 dealers had the CZ52's in the $170 range plus tax.

This may seem like a re-hash of past threads, but I have reviewed all handgun shipping threads in the last 6 months or so and I can't find this exact situation. Background: Won a gunbroker bid for a Star BM pistol w/ 3 mags in box, $185 + $15 shipping. Not a great deal, but better than I...

I have some money and time to spend and would like some suggestions from my fellow high roaders on a place to spend a week mostly doing shooting activities. Basic criteria: Traveling alone from SW Ohio; would prefer easy driving distance so that I can take a number of long and hand guns...

I just returned from the Bill Goodman show in Sharonville and it was a pretty good show, except that it was crowded as usual. A dealer from N Canton was there again with a boat load of surplus arms. I almost bought a Walther P1 at the last Sharonville show, but wanted to read up on them a...

So my gun-hating wife and I were discussing the recent sexual assault case here in suburban Warren county where two women were sexually assaulted and robbed at gun point in a model home. One of the women in a newspaper interview said that she, on hind sight, was willing to go through that...

Front page article in today's Cincinnati Enquirer: "Local women stand by their gunmen." It is a straw purchase article, which only shows and talks about handguns, so I picked this place to post. As always, they get something wrong. In the very first sentence, they talk about age 18 and...

To add variety to my collecting fix, I have gradually added different calibers and platforms to my handgun collection. My general criteria is popular calibers and platforms, classic guns, milsurp (WWII and newer), affordable, ammo available, whim and impulse, opportunity. I started out...

Went to the Pro Gun show at Wilmington today. It was the most crowded show that I have ever been to at that location, probably because there were fewer tables than previous shows. Many guys walking around selling rifles and shotguns; fewer selling revolvers and pistols, but a fair number...

Went to the Pro Gun show today in Wilmington, OH. Had been curious to see if anyone had a 10mm pistol for sale. This guy had a Star Megastar 10mm W/ box, papers, cleaning swap and handle, disassembly tool, and 2 14 rd mags, blued finish. He claimed he paid $650 for it 15 years...

I went to the Columbus, OH Pro Gun show and picked up a NIB Norinco 1911A1 with 2 mags and brush for $360 OTD from a private table seller. The only thing I noticed that is not exactly GI are the sights which are 3-dot. As I have read on previous threads, the finish is not impressive...

I appreciate all of your responses about this show. I went today and here is my report: It was crowded and poorly lighted as some of you warned. Many of the same vendors who attend the Cincinnati area shows were there, but also a bunch that I had never seen. Here are the "deals" that I...

I have attended several Pro Gun shows in Wilmington, OH and was interested to know more about the Columbus show. Is it better, same, bigger, etc. than the Wilmington show? Is it worth an 85 mile drive? I am mostly a handgun guy and mostly pistols, mostly modern. I don't need any more...

I just got back from an OH gun show where a dealer had a "police trade in P220 with two mags" for $419 plus tax. The show was very busy as was this dealer, so I did not handle the gun. The outward appearance looked pretty good. Did I miss a good deal? poppy

I saw an ad for the TZ 99 and later picked one up ANIB at a gun show for $350 OTD with 3 15-round mags. It seems to shoot OK, but the finish is not very tough. Is this a poor man's Sig 226 or just a cheap pistol? I have never owned or shot a Sig, so I was just curious. poppy Edit: I did...
