S&W revolvers at gun shows?

[Model29-26.5]

No one here can really help you.

You will spend too much money too soon.

You will find your favorite gun just after you emptied your wallet buying what was up until then your favorite gun. Repeat as necessary.

They have ATMs at the show, but it makes no difference. You are doomed.

I hope you know how to lie to your wife.

I have 3 winning bids out there. I’ll lose, but maybe I won’t.
Nah, I’ll lose. They are so nice, but I hope I lose.. but maybe I’ll just up the bid a little.. I can swing that I think. I’ll probably lose but I’d love to have that one. I shouldn’t be spending that much $$ so I hope I lose.. dammit I won. Another $1400 gone but it’s so nice. Hope I lose this next one! Phew! I lost .

You have received outstanding advice from all the responders. Depends on how large the show is. I may have missed this but if you see a gun of interest and decide to look farther make a note of where it is. I have reached the end of the show and decided to look for the early gun again and could not remember where it was.

The best time to negotiate a deal is three hours before closing time on the last day of the show. The dealer knows that if this item is not sold it’s one more thing he has to pack up and take home.

That’s not a terrible strategy but you will miss out on any good deals that might have been there early on day one.

I usually start by walking the whole show to scope out what’s available and where any decent deals are located.

I find the best deals and guns are within the first hour of the show

When I found this gun at a show it was maybe 15 minutes in. I heard about the gun from another table holder in the room.

I bee lined to that table, made the deal and I bought it on the spot, cash. He told me two other table holders were thinking about buying it and while talking one walked up and got the bad news while I was standing there holding my new Super target..

Later in the day I ran into a few fellow SWCA members walking the show and they asked how did I managed to find it and so fast. Some times minutes mean everything at a show.

This is one of my favorite guns
