I appreciate all of your responses about this show. I went today and here is my report:
It was crowded and poorly lighted as some of you warned. Many of the same vendors who attend the Cincinnati area shows were there, but also a bunch that I had never seen.
Here are the "deals" that I turned down. Glock G36 ANIB(single stack 45) with 3 factory mags and night sights. Walk-around private seller wanted $575 and thought his price was decent. I will not pay that for a Glock.
Another walk-around seller had a Kahr PM9 NIB with 2 mags. He started at $525, was down to $499 by the time I got there, and offered it to me at $475 as he was walking out the door. I passed. I guess compared to new prices, it was not too bad, but like Glocks, I don't want to pay that for much a Kahr.
Here is what I bought: A NIB Norinco 1911A1 with 2 mags and cleaning brush from a private table seller for $360 OTD. He had two of these and I got the second one. This guy said that it was a Colt clone and that all parts interchange. The only thing that appears to be none GI are the sights which are 3-dot. poppy
