Crown Point Gun Show

[insanemonkey]

No kidding! It's like these jokers bought boxes of S&B 9mm last week at Cabelas for $9.99 a box like I did and then brought them to the show and marked them $14. Seriously? What a joke. And - Every time I go I see the same old ammo that has been trucked around for years with the same stupid high prices on it. Pretty soon they will have to put it in ziplocs because the boxes are going to fall apart.
However, on Saturday I did buy some nice .380 and .40 reloads at what I considered fair/good pricing. I thought his prices on .45 was good also.
I went back Sunday with a buddy and looked at few different shotguns, but didn't come home with one. I did kinda tick me off that you have to pay again for entry.
Wanted the RRA lower for $229 -$258 out the door, but couldn't talk myself into it. Seemed like an ok deal. Saw a glock in .45 for $400 that I couldn't talk myself into either...
Was looking for some .22 mags for a Beretta Neos, but only saw them at the booth with all the mags zip tied to peg board. That guy is nuts. $40 for one... I told him I would sell him some of the ones I have for $30 each... lol.

There was a booth selling Aguila 9mm 124 grain for $12, the same stuff Midwest Gun Exchange as on sale for $8.99. I have a strong feeling there is some reselling going on. I was going to get some, if it was $10 a box, since Midwest is quite a drive for me. For $12 I will go to Blythes or walmart.

I am hesitant to put any random reloads through my gun. I have shot some Precision Cartridge, but I don't consider it random reloads.

I can understand the reload issue, but the guy did seem honest, organized, and knowledgable, so I figured I'd try a couple boxes.

vendors

I agree on the high prices. Heard one vendor say to another when someone was buying something "Hey, look a $20! Someone is actually buying something". I told that guy I know how to solve that, drop the prices and you'll sell everything. Never seen any fire arm deals. Everything there was still inflated. Don't think I'll go back to this show for awhile.

Been to every CP show for four years. Went to last CP show looking for Chris from Indiana Supply Depot, needed some Magpul slings. Guess who wasn't there.
21st Century has pulled out of the CP show as well. There seems to be some sort of rift between show promoters and they're making the dealers choose one or the other. Sucks for all of us in NW Indiana.

So, to the point........Who's got REAL MS2 slings in stock, and when the hell is Magpul going to reintroduce the MS3.

I have REAL MS2 slings in stock. Below is the link

Hey guys went there Saturday, never been to one in CP. This sage/olive drab padded tactical vest someone purchased caught my eye. I was walking around but didn’t find the vendor he purchased it from. Met the marine who was selling some very cool hats, t-shirts and paracord bracelets. I probably talked his ear off but purchased some very cool items. I was happy his products were made in America and he designed/ embroidered/silkscreened his products himself. They did have a very nice collection of new SIGS there too in fact many more then I have seen at any one gunstore. Couldn’t decide on a holster and that was the only misgiving I had that day.

Anyone see the "Bounty Hunter" guy in black bdus w/ 6 belt keepers on his back duty belt, and leg mounted Glock pistol? He was strolling around and had his tactical vest, scanner radio, no shoulder patches on uniform. If he isn't truly LEO, can he stroll about with a loaded fiream and not adhere to the gun show signs of no loaded firearms on the front doors? Almost looked nazi ish with polished black boots, and black cap with "Tactical Unit" patch. Anyone?

^^That guy was at the last valpo show too, I thought he was a cop and he acted like a cop. I finally caught a glimpse of his fugitive recovery badge. I think the promoters probably assume he is a cop too
