Im not trying to steal away from LadyT's gun show thread but, since I dont know if she attended the same show I did? then I figured to inform you of what I saw.

For the reloading guys:
Several dealers there selling primers--1,000 count for around $30. Since im not into reloading, I dont know if that was high or not? Also several selling reloading tools, powder, and quite a few selling brass of all types.

Ammo prices: Some of what LadyT said is about what I saw as far as prices go. I saw bricks of .22 averaging $46--when it was over $60 last months show. I still saw 1-2 or so--having it priced for $119.00. 100 rd box of Winchester 9mm, averaging $40++ highest I saw was $57.00. .45 was all over the board as prices go. 50 rd boxes from not bad prices of $26--on up to about $50 of the Winchester, American Eagle and other brands. WM here sells Winchester 50 rd boxes of .45--for about $26 incl tax. I saw a few 250 rd bulk packs of either UMC or PMC .45 for just shy of $200.00. WM sells same for $100.00 less.

Lots of Smith & Wessons to be had. More Henry's, Colts, Winchesters and such to be had. Prices falling on most of the new stuff. However, I talked with about 10 dealers who all said gun sales were about half of what they were at the last show--for the time of day I was there. The only seller who didnt seem to be effected, was AJC Sports from Clute--which is near Houston. Even they did see a little slow down at times, but pace picked back up.

Food and other items did as normal. My Salsa Verde lady made another $48 bucks off me for another case of the stuff. My Beef Jerky seller made only $20 off me this time around.

The Art, Toys, Books and clothes seem to take up a few more tables. The guys selling gun safes werent there or either I didnt notice them.

Since the money for the sale of my Tunic and caps still has not yet arrived (via paypal) I wasnt able to come away with two pistols I wanted. Next show here is a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng 5 months away.

Met a guy who went to the Victoria show this morning and then came up to the Bryan show this afternoon. Personally, it was my best Saturday ever but I only do about 2 shows a year. Still, I was so excited that I walked over and bought a Hi-Point Carbine in 9mm and a beautiful 20 gauge 1100 with a vent rib.

Since paypal hasnt released my money (I dont know why?) I briefly thought about taking some of my ammo to sell-so I could have had at least one of the guns I wanted.

I will be settin up for the G.Brown show this weekend in Houston.
Normally a good crowd.

Id love to go back to another one there. Its been 11 years since I was able to go. A good friend from here, sometimes sets up there. You might recognise him because he always sets up an area with WWII German uniforms, and he always has an array of German Lugers, Walthers and MP-40s.

One thing about Houston, between GRB, Reliant, and Pasadena, we have plenty of gun shows.

One thing I forgot to mention. I dont know if any here remember my gun show report from either Jan or Feb? about two certain dealers buying ammo from each other (and was the only business they were getting) but I didnt see either of them at this show--but most likely will be at the Houston show. Too many people here got "dissed" by them last time they were here. I heard a few of the old timers talking about them wondering if they were also a "fly-by-night" kind of seller?
