      Miwall booth has good ammo prices. Coldwar shooters will be there with nice shiny black rifles. Don't expect great prices, but you may find rare pistols. Saw few old Walther's but were expensive, mint looking M1 carbines that were also pricey. If costs little less than 20 bucks for parking and entry.

        Of course it is worth it.

        Why? Because I will be there all day at the Fred Thompson booth, and calgunners should come say hi

        I have heard that the cow palace shows are a lot better now and get better each time they have it.

            Hmmm. It's supposed to be sunny & mid 60's in Castro Valley so I was planning to be at the range. I've already decided on Fred, should I swap a day at the range for a $20.00 park & enter fee?

            And you know, I'd much rather spend that $$$ at the Bullseye in CV anyway.

              I'm hoping to make it....got a meeting down that way a little later in the day....

              But yep the Cow Palace has been getting increasing better with eye candy....the prices aint there yet..... but still worth the price of admission
              I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered....

                Howyadoin... the CowPie show has improved a lot since 2006 - sicne vendors can make some money off lotsa AR accessories.

                BTW you might find those 45ACP mags you're looking for.

                The deals aren't always *that* great, though, esp after parking. But if you want bulk ammo without driving to Reno show, that's pretty much it.

                By contrast, the "TS" San Jose show is pretty much dying out.

                  Regarding parking - they seem to always let us motorcyclists in for free, so leave the pickup at home and take your bike.

                    Hi Bill, I was thinking that myself. Maybe pick up 3 or 4 different ones to try.

                      I'm going for some reloading stuff. It's not as good as it used to be, but it's still fun.

                        Buying ammo is reason enough for me to go. Also I'm on the look out for a M1 Garand.

                          MilWal always has a reloading componet table. Winchester & Alliant powders, Winchester primers, a small amount of new Winchester brass and bullets. I usally hit there first as alot of stuff flies out the door right away. I use a small day pack to haul stuff with.

                            Miwall has primers, no brass or bullets I believe. There used to be a fellow on the hard left as you enter, had powder, bullets & cases for a few shows but as of the last few nothing but powder. I guess my favorite for reloading is hunting down the odds & ends tables, getting a good deal.

                              Selling Your Stuff @ the Show

                              I don't know about others, but I have alot of stuff I just don't use or need. Half dozen entry level type scopes, about 30 holsters, some grips & such. Anyone know of a vendor there who likes to buy up the stuff?
