Dallas Market Hall-Gun Show

[EvanWilliams]

Hi, guys.
Went to the Gun Show at Market hall in Dallas.
8 bucks to get in. Big crowd. Lot's of stuff. Some good some bad. Does everyone own an AR type rifle, geez!!!

I don't really need anymore guns. If I think about it I can't justify the purchase.
Same with knives, I have enough for a lifetime.
Ammo, I'm a little short. I only buy stuff that I would trust my life to.

The prices varied from retail to a little discounted. Some of the accessory stuff had a good price. A few people had MOLLE pouches etc. at a decent price. Some gun bags etc. were ridiculously expensive.

A couple of things caught my eye. Glock field knife. Looks well made. Price from 29(good) to 42 (MSRP). Also, some MOLLE pouches and that kind of stuff that was pretty affordable (does anyone know a good online source for that stuff?).

Thought I would post for anyone in DFW area interested.

Thanks for the report. I can't make Market Hall this weekend, but I went to the last Big Town show and it was very disappointing. Lots of unsold EBR stock, a little very expensive ammo, and very little of the usual 'sporting' arms.

How was ammo? All sold out still or starting to pick back up a little?

There was plenty of ammo in many flavors. Most was pricey but you could most things. Saw alot of 380 (would never use it). Did not see 25acp come to think of it.
OF course, the usual oddball calibers you find at gunshows from niche dealers.

Did you see the FN SCAR over at the Bachman's table. They were asking $4995. Also saw the Mini-Windrunner in .308, pretty nice.

Yeah, that was the first time I ever saw one in real life. I picked up a striped lower for 145 and a box of 50 9m +P+ hidra shock.

I was surprised top be honest with you. I went back in Jan or Feb and it was pretty upsetting. This show was a semi relief that gun prices are starting to come down or atleast not seam as bad, maby I just got used to it.

Ammo on the other hand, it was ridiculous. I did see some 25acp (like 3 old boxes) and a guy with 380 (win ranger sxt for 75 and wwb for 50) When I passed back later he only has 3 boxes of the sxt left.
