Hi the timing just right, left just as baseball traffic was backing up to get into the Ballpark. And got to Will Rogers after the first crush of folks had found parking for the Colonial.
Was there just after the typical lunchtime crush, too.
Well-attended show, and plenty of tables. My ammo guys, Plinker's out of Brenham were there, but I saved them for the end of the show, so as to no lug ammo around.
Was sore tempted by a Baby Rock 380 at a circa US$400 sort of price. I finally saw 380 version of the SIG 365--all of those were in the US$600 range, so, ouch.
Several vendors had RIA 1911 in 38super for almost reasonable prices.
For me, it was mostly a case of "I have one of those" anytime I saw great prices. There were some Tok and Maks that caught my eye, but not enough to set the hook.
There were several vendors with lever guns, but the prices reflected current market values. Ditto the revolvers I saw.
Did stop and talk to the people with a semi-auto 1919A6 out on their table, along with several boxes of links for same. Made me nostalgic for my long-gone 1919A4.
Skipped downtown eateries for Mercado Juarez and ate far too much
A good day for coming home with a decent deal on 556 & 380 and a 30 cal ammo box to carry it in.
