First time to Bigtown in years. Full show with both vendors and customers. Got some good laughs, like a S&W 28-2 HP for $2500. A S&W 25-2 for $3100 and a "Rare" S&W 29-2 4" in nickel for $2400.
A Barrett M107 with the suppressor was nice except for the $12.5k price tag. No Beanie Babies but a couple of women's makeup tables. |

Not yet, seems to be a head cold. Sorry we didn't get to hang out. Swapped out sights w/ the Oklahoman - excellent customer service - and gave my bumpstock to the knife and gun gals. She'll get something for it, it would've killed me to BBQ it.
Show is as packed as during Obama years. Some parking on the far northwest side, not a lot. |

Though I just saw the dates and I may have a conflict - I won't know for certain for another week. I do appreciate the offer a place to stay. Show is as packed as during Obama years.

It was great to meet some new Arfcommers.
I picked up another carry handle, from the Oklahomans. Prayers for our little gun show buddy, The Sinister. |

2-3 February
Lewisville (Premier) Lewisville has the distinction of being an order of magnitude larger than the Bonham show. Check out the gun shop next door, friendly folks. If anyone has suggestions for lunch up that way, post up. Bass Pro to the south if you wanted to dine there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gonna try somethin different - going to post the upcoming shows down here: 9-10 February Corsicana Greenville Mesquite Rodeo (Premier) Soulman's BBQ again? Post up when you want to meet, or if there's somewhere else you want to hit. Used to be a Texas Roadhouse just up the road. 16-17 February Denton (1st Denton show in a while. I'll have to hit this one.) Fort Worth (Premier) Nacogdoches Lunch Saturday in Ft Worth - Railhead BBQ? Do we want to do breakfast in Denton, hit that show, then maybe lunch at 1:00 in Ft Worth? Discuss. 23-24 February Abilene Lewisville (Premier) Wow, twice in a month. |

City hassles, competition for vendors w/ Premier. Not that another organizer can't do, just this fella's washed his hands of it.

2-3 March
Belton - don't usually cover this far south, but given it's in spitting distance from the Waco & Gatesville shows, figured I'd include it. Vendors are going to have a time of it w/ customers split across 3 shows an hour apart from each other. Gainesville Gatesville Mesquite Big Town (Premier) Longview 1-3 March Waco (starts on Friday) 9-10 March Canton Fort Worth 16-17 March Dallas Market Hall (DACA) Jacksboro Waxahachie (Premier) 23-24 March Abilene Jacksonville Mesquite Big Town (Premier) Wow, twice in a month. Paris 30-31 March Brownwood Durant, OK |

Might try to hit Mesquite again, considering how good it was to me in Jan. Kind of depends on the weather. We've got some pruning we've been trying to get done for awhile, so if the weather is nice I'll probably be sawing and chipping.

Hadn't been to Big Town in a year or two, so I walked it today for a couple of hours mid-day. Big crowd. Parking lot full (worst parking lot of any gun show for broken beer bottles and huge potholes). Saw lots of tire kicking, but not much buying and selling going on according to vendors and I didn't see much buying among the public either. Lots of parts gun AR's from "Custom Shop X, Y and Z" but very little first class stuff. Only one Colt AR in the show, or at least only one that I could find. Two tables had a couple of high end AR's in the $2,000 range. Many tables of candles, jerky, and anything else you could name. Apparently a baseball bat wrapped with barbed wire is legal to possess??? Maybe so. One vendor has them. I see no reason to go back to BT unless I desperately need a part.
