Back from the gun show
It was huge -- easily 500 people in a large room at the State Fairgrounds. Cameras were verboten for good reason so no pictures but lots more vendors and a much wider range of items displayed. The KelTec I am lusting after has actually not been released as yet -- I was told by a local shop to check back every two weeks or so.
There were a couple 1911's that were for sale for under $1,000 but they were either new foreign knockoffs (the quality of craftsmanship really matters -- it is not apparent but there is quite a high degree of precision needed) or they were seriously bubba'd by some shade-tree gunsmith or previous owner. A good one was in the $1,500 range.
A good day was had by all.
I also stopped in to see my Dad whose short-term memory is getting worse and worse. Sad to see.
Ran some other errands getting some things for the shop and for the store. Sitting down to the last of the turkey and smashed potatoes and will commence reading the internet.
