Gun Show ??

[FLA2760]

Hi Everyone
I have never been to a gun show. I hope to go the next time there is one near me. Do the prices for new guns like S&W revolvers and Kel-Tecs differ (much lower) than my local dealers? Is it an all cash deal or is plastic ok? I thank you.

Prices -- depends on your local dealers. Dealers in my area are pretty competitive and, therefore, prices on new guns at gun shows are not that much lower.

Cash or plastic -- all except smallest deaers will normally take plastic. Some will give you a cash discount on major purchases because they don't have to pay merchant fees.

I find more differences in used firearms than in new ones. Also, you can sometimes find things a local dealer might not have.

Its a good idea to know general prices before you go. Every once in a while, you'll find a great deal (shoulda bought that saiga 308 for $340 when i had the chance), but also lots of stuff which is overpriced.

THe last gunshow i went to sucked. . . not a lot of variety, mostly overpriced guns. But if its a good gunshow, its worth the price of admission just to look. And be sure to have some of the wonderful food

No Bargins Here

Gun shows around here rarely offer any bargains. There are folks selling used guns at prices exceeding new guns. I am not talking about collector items or antiques, just old guns. Might as well get a new gun, at least you get a warranty.
