Glendale or Costa Mesa?

[radioburning]

Which gunshow is better for bulk ammo, and maybe a red dot?

[Black Majik]

Miwall will probably be at both, both Costa Mesa is the bigger show.

Deja vu. Didn't you post this exact question in the OT forum?

[apbrian112]

whichever's closer to you... it'll all be around the same price (whatever you buy). pretty much the savings will be negated by gas.

however, costa mesa does charge to park there while glendale does not.

[Ford8N]

The price is the same where ever the Miwall booth is located..

I like Glendale... it feels like being in a highschool gym full of guns. It seems to keep getting better, even if better is like the difference between a kick in the groin and a kick in the face.

.......costa mesa does charge to park there........

I was there 3 shows ago and they didn't charge me. FWIW

[What Just Happened?]

Costa Mesa is about three times as bigger. And everytime I've been to Costa Mesa (~3), I've never been charged for parking.

Plus Costa Mesa is only 15 minutes away from me, whereas Glendale is more like an hour away.

I always go to Costa Mesa, I never pay

Parking, entrance, never had to. I just walk in

CHG membership has it's perks

I've been to over a dozen Costa Mesa shows and never once had to pay for parking. I didn't have to use any special favors to get free parking either.

The only advantage I see in going to the Glendale show is that you will probably be able to park closer so you won't have to haul your ammo as far to get it to your car. For the red dot, I'd think the Costa Mesa show would be better since there are more vendors there.

Which show is better for beanie babies, jerky and I Love Lucy memorabilia?

Parking is free at CM but IIRC you can pay extra to park closer.

[Kishfisser]

Parking at Costa Mesa is free if you use the first lot after entering off Fairview. They do tend to charge at least n the mornings for the second lot which is a bit closer to the entrance plus even more for the preffered. The free parking is to follow the signs to the vendors parking and find a spot.

Either one you will end up paying about the same for ammo as far as an optic goes I would get one from the Net that way you wont run the risk of getting a "clone", Glendale is about 20 mins from me so I will be going to pick up ammo and Ill go to costa mesa to look around and check it out for the day...

2 cents again.

[geeknow]
