I will most likely go. I bet you know what I'm looking for...Mod 65, 3" I think. Maybe 4". Maybe both....

Some AR accessories - tac sling, ergo grips maybe.

Maybe some .22 & .223...Some Black Hills .223 or .308 would be nice.

Maybe a Case whittling knife.

I don't expect a Century Yugo underfolder to join my household but you never know...

Lots of maybes - sometimes I buy nothing at all, sometimes I spend too much.

[phantomak47]

You better get there early, as I am looking for a model 65 also, it should be a good show, better parking than GRB one.

[nalioth]

Which organization is putting this one on?

[phantomak47]

see link in first post.

I'll be there early Saturday, with my tax refund :D

[Slugless]

Phantom, have you ever used the Jim March method of selecting a good revolver? I'm planning on doing that but have only practiced once on one of my own revolvers.

I envision several THR guys standing around Bachman's tables, reading from a printout, passing revolvers around and looking down the barrels....

[phantomak47]

slugless,

Where can I find that revolver check system?

[MCgunner]

Hmm, I'd like to go and look for a P3AT for a decent savings. Maybe, it's a long ride up there. What I saved on the gun would be burned in gas and then some.

[Slugless]

Looks like I'll be there 'round noontime on Sunday.

Phantom,

Go to the Revolver forum (THR > Tools & Technologies > Handguns : Revolvers) and there's a sticky at the top of the forum. The thread is a bunch of pages and someone sometime should compile the original checkout list with the comments, clarifications, suggestions and improvements...

[phantomak47]

Mcgunner,

I dont know about where your at, but you can literally save hundreds on guns at a Houston gun show vs. Houston gun stores.


Slugless, I plan on hitting it up on saturday morning, I will post and let you know what I found and wheres its at.

[dirtyjim]

i'm going, mostly for ammmo but a really nice swede m96 followed me home from the last one. it's also time to renew my nra membership so i'll do it there because its $10 cheaper & i get free admission to the show

[LeonCarr]

The guy that runs Bachman is a butthole. Don't give him your money. Besides, in most cases he is not the cheapest.

Just my .02,
LeonCarr

[phantomak47]

What other dealers do Highroaders recomend? Schram?

[Slugless]

Ok, good to know Leon. I'll look around.

Phantom, over the years I've bought a few guns from Doc Avery's. Everyone else has been a single purchase. I can't recall why I keep buying from them but I suspect price + decent service.

[phantomak47]

5 days to go and counting!!!..............

[BullsEye10x]

I hope my tax refund gets here before then. Otherwise, I'll be window shopping :(

[phantomak47]

Bullseye, what are you looking for at the show?

Show Report


Bachman and AJC seemed to have the best prices on New pistols, I picked up a GP100 6 inch barrel for $463, but they had lots of Glocks and XDs for sub $500, easily beating Houston gun shops by hundreds in some cases. I was impressed with Bachman, AJC, Gunzones, Schrams amount of new pistols and some tactical rifles selection and prices. Also I couldn't find Docs, everyone told me to check them out, but there were not to be found.

This was my first Houston show and I must admit I dont ever plan on going to any Houston shops after going to todays show. I guess thats why not one Houston shop even had a table at the show, I guess they knew that they wouldnt have any business.


I think Big Dog ammo was there and they seemed pretty busy, with good show prices.


I found it worth going to .

[BullsEye10x]

Bullseye, what are you looking for at the show?

I ended up not going because my refund hasn't shown up yet :cuss: I want to pick up an AK and M14 sometime this year before they get banned for good.

[phantomak47]

Does anyone know if that Global Trades ak maker that is based in Houston ever goes to Houston shows?

[vzenmn]

^
I think I've seen them a few times.

[phantomak47]

I checked their website and apparently they are kind of not in business anymore, atleast they are not selling guns or parts. Maybe their are only wholesaling.
