Gun shows deals

[Alan]

I keep hearing mixed things...some people swear they find great deals at gun shows. Others say it's all overpriced and you're better off online. What's been your experience? Are January gun shows worth the entrance fee or am I better off staying home and browsing online?

I have always done better online. The last gun show that I was at had hardly anything and it was all overpriced. I haven’t been to one in a decade at least.

I just got a first year S&W sigma for 250 bucks off of gun broker with the box papers and plug. Box matches the SN on the gun. A nostalgia piece for me, as it was my first semi auto handgun.

I would never find a gun that I wanted at a gun show for 250 dollars these days. Also, never find parts I am looking for at gun shows. Gun Broker and certain milsurp websites have what I am looking for most of the time. And usually cheaply priced.
