There is a gun show in Trussville this weekend. Has anyone been to one of the Trussville shows? Are they worth the time?

Was anyone able to check it out today?

I didn't go. I was tempted becasue it is only 5 miles from my home but I had too many spring chores to do this weekend. Shows have slipped in quality over the years. I usually don't go without some reports that it is worth it.

I went @ 10:30 this morning. I went in with low expectations, but it turned out to be better than I was expecting. Decent amount of tables and used prices seemed to be in line (mostly).

Some (most) of the new-gun dealers were very optimistic...pricing them $75 - $100 more than Academy Sports 10 minutes down the road.

I did pick up a slightly-used Walther PPQ in .45 ACP for a fair price. I'd been looking for one for a while and have passed up several on GB that went for more than I was looking to pay, especially after shipping and transfer $$.

I need to go to another gun show. Haven’t been to one in years. Was this one good?

Depends on what you'd consider "good". From my report a couple of posts above...

I found what I was looking for, so it turned out to be a good one for me.
