Gun show sales means you still need to go to the seller's location to pick up the gun after the 10 day wait. That sucks if you're 100 miles away. Or farther. Then you have to have it shipped to a local FFL and pay some more fees there.

Go to the gun show, buy some Molon Labe bumper stickers and beef jerky, fondle some guns then, if you haven't found a gun you like, go your LGS and buy from them.

Do not buy your first gun at the gun show.
Do not buy your first gun on the internet until you understand all the regulations.

So i just got my certification to purchase a firearm and my gf is taking me to a gunshow this weekend and my question is what type of gun would anyof you recommend and are firearms really cheaper at a gunshow?

You might want to go to a indoor range that rents firearms.
Glocks and 1911 have different style of triggers.

gun shows are overpriced. $10+ for parking, then $10+ for entrance fees.

Then inside there really isn't anything there are you will find at a discount. Maybe ammo but that's cause we can't buy online and I'm sure most people probably already purchased ammo.

Rule One: All guns are always loaded.
Rule Two: Never let the muzzle cover anything which you are not willing to destroy.
Rule Three: Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
Rule Four: Know your target and what is behind it.

These rules are no good unless someone who understands them is drilling them into your head until you bleed and then drilling them again.

get training and dont think because you can hit a paper target at 10 yards you have all the tools you need.

Go to a local shooting range for some instruction before deciding to make a purchase. I did this at OC Indoor Shooting Range in Brea and loved it.

They started with general safety, then moved to proper handling, and then slowly built up towards live fire shooting. I got to shoot 5 different guns and got a 30 day membership to try out any rental guns they had in stock.

Don't go to a gun show to buy a gun.

Don't go to a gun show to buy your first gun.

Your first gun should probably be a .22 rifle, but an AR15 or a pump shotgun aren't bad choices.

Gun shows are a joke. The last good gun show was at the Pomona Fairgrounds about 30 years ago. Not to mention the admin fee and parking, you'll drop $40 before you even get in the show, so add that to what ever you buy. No deal on components at that rate. Hell, even makes the beef jerkey not worth the effort.

BTW, as mentioned above, any girlfriend that is taking you to a gun show, is a keeper! And if she has a sister that is single, provide the info here! Many guys are looking for gun female friends.

Get training, don’t buy cheap gun, rent first several guns to see what you like. Get safe and keep gun away from unauthorized people. Did I mentioned get training?
