Purchased some targets etc and ask the lady if this was Top Hat's business, she replied "not anymore, this is mine." Nice lady.

Was glad to see this show back, hadn't been checking this thread so I didn't know about the no ammo which was just completely confusing....

Took my mom, she bought an enfield, I was surprised to find that the vendor knew my mom because she had previously purchased a gun from him through the classifieds here. It was really cool to have that connection.

It wasn't that bad compared to anything else that's not hours away for me, there seems to be sentiment that after a couple more shows things will be back to normal, ammo sales and such. Sucks that some vendors cancelled but I don't blame them too much with late restrictions like that...

 

[Mr H]

I spoke briefly with one of the promoter's key folk, and was told that they do expect the restrictions to go away in the future.

Is that a guy that wears a big hat? He was around when I went to shows in Gaithersburg.

I believe he retired several years back. He sold the business to her.

For all involved, I'm glad to hear that things worked out reasonably well today at the show.

This was a decent show. As far as those who said purchasers wouldn't travel a hour to pick up a handgun, we'll all the handgun sales proved them wrong.
It was a good turn out and the crowd was good. The vendors who backed out well it was definitely their loss. I hope the show continues to grow and becomes a great success.

A BIG Thank you goes to all that attended, the promoters, and to the vendors that setup and supported this show. Everything went well and I look forward to the next show.
No ammo but I did see some primers, casings and powder.

 

[bbaick]

The show was great, all things considered. I made it a point to attend so I could support the show promoters.

 

[BeoBill]

Spent part of the day there helping out the folks from MSI....finally got to put some faces with names here.. Pleasure meeting biggfoot44, BeoBill, Lee2 and Mopar

Likewise, but I spent the day. Also good meeting Mr. H. All in all a great time!

And of course, Jacqueline was amazing...

 

[precisionfire]

A Big Thank-you to all those that supported the show and especially to those that bought something from us. We had a decent show, not really great, but OK. There was a decent crowd and a lot of pistols were being sold.

I went and got a couple little things, one vender had great deals on flashlights. Interesting how you can go to any gun show and find all the 80% AR15 lowers you could ever want but then nobody ever has any 1911 80% lowers. Come on people, we need to build more 1911's. Supply and demand and all that. But it's good to hear there might be more shows there in the future.

Where were the Notices???

It was very important for the firearm community to support the show on Saturday. Wonder if the local gun clubs alerted their members to provide their support, e.g. AAF&GA, Berwyn, Three Rivers etc.?

Bought a few things i needed from her too.

Thought the body scan coming in was humorous.

Hopefully it will get better and ammo and reloading supplies will be allowed.

At least two vendors at the last Gettysburg show had 80% 1911 frames. I believe one was also selling a jig.
