Cow Palace, this weekend.

[kophinos]

Whose going? Which day? I didn't see a CalGuns booth thread, not going to represent?

[Southpaw45]

I'm there. The main reason I'm going is to see what kind on damage the new ammo bill law AB bla bla bla has done. It will be interesting to see..

[PowderBurn1]

I'll be there on Sat. morning.

Don't think there will be mad dash on pistol ammo yet. From previous forum posts, there was Ontario Show over New Year's weekend. Only thing changed was pistol ammo was behind the tables. You had to ask for it.

[shooting4life]

I will be going on Saturday morning, I hope to get some reloading supplies (lead bullets and powder) and any other good deal I can find.

[Noypi916]

Tailgate party at the gun show? Now why didnt I think of that! "BRILLIANT"

[zinfull]

So is this where you can buy all those illegal guns. Free beer and first choice of guns being sold, great idea.

Don't forget about the parking fee. OVERPRICED BIG TIME. If your legs work, park on the street and walk.

[Alexjr1967]

I plan on going Sat. morning ... hopefully they'll have decent prices on 54r and 9mm

[AaronHorrocks]

I'll be there! I'm currently on leave... And I think that's a good way to spend it.

[Grumpyoldretiredcop]

Might manage to get down there on Sunday.

[Super Spy]

Now that Dragonfly has moved on to a free state who's going ti run the CGN booth? I don't even recall seeing recent posts looking for volunteers......too many other cheapskates didn't want to pay to get in and beat me to it?

Another one left Cali? I didn't even know about this show
till this thread. That's strange I usually always hear about upcoming gun shows.

[twistedmetal]

It is better than San Jose gun show that's for sure

[twistedmetal]

am i going to find ar15 stuff. like uppers, hand guards, sights, stocks ect. or just a bunch of army surplus that is not gun related.

[shookatash]

this show is better than the san jose one by far...tho the last san jose show i went to was during the AR drought.

i've heard now is way better.

just a warning to parking on the street. Hide everything in the trunk, take it with you or leave the stuff at home. Your car will be broken into if you leave anything in the open. Change, cigs, ammo, lighters, glasses, you name it.

I hope they don't have stupid ammo prices like some gougers do

Who cares if the local natives break into your car and steal everything.

At least you did not pay those ridiculous parking fees.

The natives love the Cow Palace events, its like shopping day. Only thing they hate is they have to get up early (before noon) to do their shopping on their local streets.

Support a local native and leave something good in your car that he can steal and sell for 10 cents on the dollar to support his unaffordable drub habit.

Local natives are in pain lying in the gutters becaue they do not have their drugs. Show some humanity.

In a way the gun grabbers are right that these shows are a source of guns to the local natives. They don't get them at the show but from cars that show up at the show whose owner is to cheap to pay for parking so he parks on the street and the local natives go shopping in his car and takes his guns.

All this is so wrong that I do not know how the gun grabbers count this as a source of guns to the natives.
-anyone should be able to park on a street and not have their stuff stolen
-gun owners should not be so cheap by not paying parking
-How can gun grabbers consider stealing from cars acceptable behaviour but gun ownership not.
-Why are the local natives continually allowed to feed their drug habit and prey on out of towner's parking in their neighborhood
-Just for the sake of getting more folks to be encouraged to pay those exorbitant parking fees the local LE is encouraged to look the other way on these car break ins.
-and so on

The whole system over their is as corrupt as hell as they all just want to take your money away, albeit local native or local government employee.

Just got back. Show was ok. Some of the usual magazine/gun cleaning vendors weren't there. Miwall set up 5 cashier lines for pistol ammo, made it more orderly. 75.95 for 500 rounds of 9mm reloads. Good deal was 299 for case of PMC .223. My best find was getting a Walther TPH .22 factory magazine, for $65 for a magazine dealer hidden under a stack of other mags.

[RogueSniper]

I just got back from the show - I got there around 3pm. Lots of reloading components (Power and Primer - CCI, Winchest, Wolf) from Miwall and looks like a good supply of ammo, too. I was really surprised that there was any American Eagle .22 bricks left ($20/400 or $190/case).

22LR
$20/brick American Eagle $190/case <-- I paid this much a few months before the elections
$28/brick Fiocchi
$7/100 MiniMag
$43/brick Wolf

9mm
$12 PMC
$13 American Eagle
$25/100 WinUSA
$255/case 1000rd Federal

45ACP
$22/50 PMC - cheapest brass cased 45ACP that I saw

Brass cased .223 in bulk was getting low, though.
223Rem
$280/1000rd - Reloaded 55gr
$289/500 - Hornady 55gr
$120/200 - New Miwall 60gr
$330/1000 - Sellier&Bellot 55gr
Still lots of Wolf, but I don't buy steel cased ammo, I can't reload that.

[sytfu_RR]

Some ok deals on ammo. One vendor had PMC 223 FMJ $299/1k. I picked up some Winchester 40sw $69.99/250rds ( in ammo can from miwall )

As usual some calguns vendors were there. Metal Dog Tactical ( Tunis ) & Solar Tactical ( Duraglock ). I was trying to find G&G tool company but didn't see them. As for the other stuff, there were tons of parts, but some places were expensive still.

FYI: the magnet bullet button tool guy was there, however I didn't hang around long enough to find out if he changed his sales methods.

[Nor-Cal]

I went to the show around noon was overall perrty good, some prices a lil high but some good deals as well and I also seen magnet bullet button booth as well

[chiz]

I just got home from there and it was OK. I was looking a ak parts and there was not that much. The one guy that had them had ridiculous prices. A front trunnion was $75 and a pistol grip was $35.

I did buy a grip wrap from Duraglock though. And some shotgun ammo from Miwall. My son bought some padded practice swords so he can hit his sisters.

[IsaacGlass]

Miwall also had new Winchester 147gr 9mm for $99. G&G tool company was located in the back right hand side as you enter show. I pickup a Dremel for $40.

[RogueSniper]

Has anyone dealt with the Vendor with all the Colt 1911 barrels, mags, slides, and engraved 1911s? I talked to him once or twice but his prices don't seem that great. I'm wondering about his Colt parts - any good? It all looks well used and bit worn out.

He's a Latino gentleman, mustache, and was wearing a 1911 strapped to his hip (I think it was zip-tied down).

Good topic for the off topic discussion section.

Any good deals on lowers?

[tomve]

Got up there first thing this morning. I was pleasently surprised to see alot of reloading supplies. The most I've seen at the show in awhile. Plenty of primers, powder, & bullets. I picked up some Winchester small and large pistol primers. Prices were alittle higher than what I've been getting on line (when I can find them). They were charging $5 more per 1k for the WSP vs WLP. Seems like getting small pistol primers have been harder to get. That might be the reason for the additional $5 charge.
