Well, I got up this morning to head to a gun show in a neighboring county.
I have lost faith in the gun shows in the past due to them not having anything worth the drive, and the widespread price gouging that is so popular now, but .....I didnt have anything else better to do, and I am on a soul search for primers, so I went. Like the last 4 gun shows, this one didnt have anything that caught the eye, but I did get to see some outrageous prices and hear some hilarious sales pitches.
I left the gun show and headed for a gun shop that I frequent every now and then. I dont know if you guys do this or not, but I mill around the gun shop, to see how they talk to , deal with, and treat other customers, especially customers with little to no experience with firearms. As I am milling around the gun shop ,a guy walks in and starts looking at pistols. One of the sales persons approaches the guy and the guy asks to see a 1911. The sales person pulls the 1911 from the case and says that it has a glock trigger in it and also has glock springs in it. My mouth hung open in awe. I have heard a lot of stuff, but never that. The guy that was looking at the 1911 said "really ? WOW!". The sales person said "yep , its got a lot of stuff done to it, I will have to look at the paperwork to see what other custom stuff it has in it". I had to leave after I heard that, so I did.
I dont know about you guys, but I do not like to shop at gun shops where they do not know what they are talking about, or where they are willing to send up smoke and mirrors in order to make a sale, it is bad business.
I just had to tell you guys about that to see if you guys have heard anything like that or better .
