My wife was forced to endure a 2nd day at the convention because her sister, who normally lives in Houston got stomped by a sudden storm with 100mph+ winds. All OK, just a mess with lotsa folks without power but couldn't make the trip North.
My wife insists on pix, about blew up my phone taking them.
I have deleted any with "AR pattern" rifles as there were hundreds of all shapes, sizes, calibers and prices from $500 to $5,000.
I also deleted 1911's in 9mm which must be "the Rage." Most had magazine capacities of a dozen and a half or more rounds. Blasphemy, 1911 was created in .45 acp and until 20 years ago were 95% of production. I handled a couple dozen and that's maybe 5%.
Yoda's thread covered the "operational details" pretty thoroughly so time for "Grinning Monkey Highlights:"
"You Are Here"
Winchester .458 mag, "Big Medicine"
Winchester "Super Grade" 7mm08 (Just .62 mm short of perfect).
Weatherby .300 WBY mag. Only sample of their wares like I remember.
Springfield Armory 6.5 Creedmore with Leupold Glass. I offered an arm and leg but it costs more.
And of course Colt's .357 mag Viper 3." Fits the hand perfectly though I probably wouldn't shoot a steady diet of "125gr Romper-Stompers" through it. "Everything you need in a revolver, nothing you don't."
