I went to 2 in my area about a year ago. Pretty close to being a waste of time except to spend some time with my son. Prices were horrible, pretty much price gouging. Nice to see a few old military firearms that I don't get to see very often, but that was about it. I won't be going to another.

I use to go to the gun shows here in LA, to buy powder and primers, but the guy I was buying from quit bring the needed stuff, so yes it has become a waste of my time to even go!  The guns were all over priced, trying to make an offer was difficult at best.  :-[

I would maybe go to gun shows if I could find items for sale that were only up to 25% more than they are online.

I miss the old days when I was a kid, going to gun shows with my pop's and seeing boxes of gun parts to rummage through...........

I haven't been to a gun show in years. Literally, I think the last one was about 15 years ago when Bubba was Pres. Even then, I found the pricing pretty ridiculous, even for the WAC show in Puyallup WA.. Nowadays, I have to say the internet is a godsend. I can rarely find a better deal anywhere better than doing some searches on the internet.

I'm almost afraid to try the WAC show again, for fear it will be nothing but a serious waste of $9 + gas, and personal time.

The only better deal I have found than the internet in the last year, was when my wife bought me the Hornady Auto-Charge powder dispenser at Sportsman's Warehouse on sale for $159.99. Perfect for IMR-800x.

BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER!!!
