South Bend Gun Show

[4PWW9]

South Bend gun show this weekend at the 4H Fairgrounds.
Any INGO'ers attending?

I'm thinking about heading that way.

 

[Cemetery-man]

Probably not. Even though I am tempted since it's only 10 miles from here I know I will spend money I need on something I don't.

Would never go again. Went last year...probably the worst show i have ever been to. The only one that comes close to being that bad is the other South Bend show at Century Center

The Century Center show was better than this one.

I walked through there today. 21st has some good deals. But private guys, nada

 

[00BlasterResto]

I went, wasn't worth it IMO. I always enjoy any show but I was a bit turned off by some of the ammo prices. saw a couple good deals but the overall selection was limited, I did get to check out the ACR and a few others though.

The Century Center show was better than this one.

Which one? Last year's Winter CC show was a lot better than the summer show. CentralIndianaGunShows is not showing any shows at the CC this year.
Odd that CPI can put on three shows a year at Shipshewana that are better and cost less than the two they put on at the fairgrounds.

The Century Center show that i went to was November 21, 2009. It was not worth the 50 mile drive by any stretch of the imagination. I use the Valpo show to measure smaller shows. If the Valpo show is an 8 for a smaller show, the Century Center show was about a 4, and the fairgrounds show was about a 2.

Thanks for the post guys. I was thinking about going first thing tomorrow morning. Need to head that way anyway before I head to Kokomo but it sounds like I will pass. If I did go it would be to visit 21st!

I've been doing Ok.Things are picking up on side work with the warm weather.How have you been?Are you going to the Kendalville show?

I always enjoy any show but I was a bit turned off by some of the ammo prices.

Now I feel better that I didn't go since ammo would have been what I was looking for.

That is good, and glad things are picking up for you! I have been doing good, better if we were still following Chief Two Eagles master plan!
You will have to fill me in on the Kendalville Show, when is it. Indiana Gun Shows does not have it listed? The show Promoters need to get on the ball! Let me know 12bee! Then if I can make it I will!
Thanks for letting me know about it!

The target guy said he is going to this one. I forgot to ask 21st Century.

 

[manygunsmike]

Drove an hour and a half and was not impressed ! 21st guns is hard to beat and is a good guy to deal with !

I bought some brass was it. I saw ZX was selling a ton of guns as usual. Every time I went by they were writing up a couple of purchase forms.

 

[2cool9031]

Sounds like it sucked...glad I didn't go.

 

[phil]

Bob,
the SB shows always suck...but for those of us who are close, it's something to do! I went...I wasn't disappointed...It was just as small/empty/over priced as I expected.
