    Gun Show ~

    This will be my first time going to gun show . I wanted to get some information from any members with gun show experience .

    my main reason is good get 9mm in bulk . not reloads , but in factory ammo such as , winchester , federal , american eagle .. common brands for target use 115 gr .

    as for prices , is it more expensive there ? will they run out of stock early in the morning due to high demand ?

    any info will be great !


    thanks

    Definitely go on the first day, and the earliest you can go. It is cheaper than ordering online as you do not have to pay for shipping, but you will pay tax as most likely you will order from Miwall.

    How about you spend the money on a reloading setup? Much cheaper!

        Go early. An hour will be better than showing up 5 min. before it opens. Reloading will take time, to see any savings. But YOU will be in control. And you can make ammo any way that you like,that fit you'r needs. If you only shoot 9mm, buying it already made makes the most sence.
        If you have long guns , reloading is the only way to go.

          just remember to do the price per bullet analysis. A lot of the shows I have been to haven't had that significant of savings when tax and entry fee was considered... still looking to get setup for reloading in the near future.

            from the past 3 shows I went, Walmart's price still beats the show price. If you plan to buy a lot, bring a fold up portable luggage carrier so you can lug them around.. otherwise you'll have a really sore back the next day lol

              If it's the Costa Mesa show buy tickets online and get there an hour early at the least.

              First building on the right will have the Miwall booth. There's another one elsewhere but I forget where. Typically your best prices will be there.

                Last time I went to the Costa Mesa show I stood in line for about 1/2 an hour. Get there early.
