Crossroads of the west gun show

[pdude]

In the past the line has taken me 2 hours to get through to purchase a ticket there. I don't mind paying an extra dollar for the online ticket to walk right in.

2 hours? Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to buy it online then since I'm going to try to get in in the morning.

No I think he's talking about the trade show.... Don't be a douche.....

To be picky, he is talking about a gun show. Shot Show is a trade show.

Anybody know if the Costa Mesa show carries the grip tape decals for XD pistols?

[Bobby Ricigliano]

No I think he's talking about the trade show for the hobby we all love so much which is why we contribute to an online forum. Don't be a douche. I go to this show every time because it's local and fun

Free parking is on the marketplace side of the fairgrounds and is not much farther of a walk. Off of Fair Dr.

Actually, I think they do have a douching supplies table now. Thanks for the reminder and tsk tsk on the name calling.

Meh. Ive got nothing going on today and just want to check things out there.

Unfortunately, Costa Mesa's shows is one of the last good gun shows in all of CA. You take the good with the bad, the bad being the trinket, beef-jerky, t-shirt, bumper-sticker, cell-phone, black-velvet Elvis, ShamWow, ninja-sword/knife/throwing star, and other kitsch booths.

But I was surprised to see it advertised online as a jump to a $14 admission fee. That's a bit illogical.

Just got home. Sure was crowded.

Really??

Man Im planning on heading down there in about an hour.

Its been that price for quite a few years now.

Funny - I went last year around mid-summer, and probably paid that not giving it a second thought because I was already there. Seeing it in writing seemed more of a shock.

Sure miss the old Great Western shows at Pomona!

Sure miss the old Great Western shows at Pomona!

Craziest Great Western Pomona show ever: December 1999.

Crazy prices, crazy buying, with lots of crazy selling based on misinformation. (I recall hearing someone trying to a young guy that they would also be banning Glocks and .223 ammo).

However, THAT was a fun show!! Packed and stacked. High capacity mags were piled on tables nearly higher than the sellers could see over them! AKs and ARs were everywhere.

Prices anyone?

Millwall 9mm reloads?
Wolf .223?

[ballistic]

I may go tomorrow.
Did anybody see Milwal prices for primers?
