Glendale gun show report

[scott]

If I had to sum it up in one word: LAME

I found myself being rather irritated for paying $8 to get into the door because the show had a grand total of like 30 tables, and half of those were belt buckles and beef jerky. AND all the guns were grossly overpriced. (Not to say the dealers wouldn't deal necessarily, but everything I saw either had no price tag or was listed at full MSRP.)

It occurred to me that it could have simply been a very poorly marketed show, so none of the major dealers wanted to show.

Even for a Glendale show it was pretty darn slow. I've never seen one quite so bad. I bought some ammo from ammo bros and miwall and left.

Two vendors I know (Guerin and the guy next to him) had some cool stuff (left hand rear when entering from the front), but I didn't see anything I had to have. Even Rich from Rich's Arms didn't have any guns there today, just the booth for transfers that I saw.

The show was pretty bad. The only thing I got was some Flitz metal polish for the .25 trigger job on my Glock 26 that I got from Dave (Saki302).
Dave - Shooting this G26 gets boring...It keeps shooting through the same hole in the middle.

It could be show fatigue as well. Last week was Ventura, Victorville the week before that, and next week is Coasta Mesa. I know I decided to not bother with this Glendale.

Roughly how many people would you guess attended? There are two more shows coming up in February and May that we would really like to have coverage for the RKBA initiative. You could get back in for free
