Fort Worth Gun Show

[AConklin]

I picked up some parts at the FWGS Sunday...

Say Hello to my little friend!

nice
i've been wanting to go to this show for a while; looks like May is the next one now.

wholly cow, went to a reloading shop this weekend and 12 gauge shot is now $50 a bag!!! called around several places and it seems people are hording ammo lately too.

what's a good recommendation for a 9mm?
(i like the Beretta, Sig and Glock)

[AConklin]

Beretta: I have a 9mm 92FS. I like it a lot but after a while I wanted something with more power.
Sig: I have a .45. Love it. Hands down my favorite gun.
Glock: I have a .357 sig. Its a 'baby glock' that is my carry piece. I have shot 9mm glocks & did not care for them.

I would suggest going to the DFW gun range on Mockingbird & 35. They have tons of guns that you can rent for $7 an hour. That way you can really try before you buy.

[Murder Snake]

better try and see if you can find any ammo for it. ammo is in short supply.

[Mach351]

thanks for the suggestion. I've been shopping for one a few times and don't know why anyone behind the counter has not said anything about that.

[H-TownMachI]

How much did the lower go for? Since the election there have been significant "free enterprise" price increases and short supply.

Hello little friend. :COOL:

[gbranton]

That is very nice. I wanted to get one last year but didn't have the $$$. Now all I hear is that supply is really low and prices are up. People are afraid that they won't be able to buy such items soon and I'd say that is a vaild concern. There are people out there in our government who do not understand the meaning of ".....shall not be infringed".

[TEXASDSGMACH1]

I hope you got it cheaper than what they were asking for the ones at gun shows around here. I couldn't believe some of the prices on the AR's. I've got a Del-Ton and a Model 1 sales that I bought/built last year and paid about half of what they were going for at the show here in midland a couple of weeks ago.

check out the springfield armory XD-M its a beautiful weapon and the price is right!!!!

Got the lower for $120.

The kit is from Model 1 Sales & was $490. So $490 + 120 = 610. Thats a price that I can live with.

30 round mags were $15. So I got a couple of those.

Yup. Model 1 sales had a bunch of kits at the show. However a buddy of mine ordered one from their site 8 weeks ago & its still on back order.

My brother has a 45 from them & really likes it. Every now & than I look at the carry pieces that they make, but I'm please with my Glock 33. However - I might make an exception for that new Ruger LCP.

The $120 was including FFL.

I got about 10 30 round mags in my storage in one of the box's... Came home from the army with them.

[AConklin]

There is a place up by Plano (bullet trap?) that rents them as well. I've never been there.

Been to the DFW range & another in Fort Worth (820 & Lancaster) & rented from both places before. I think that is the only way to go. It would suck to drop $$$ ona gun & not like it.

Not at the gun show!

[Madmax305]

Very nice! Which bolt are you going with? I have a Colt AR-15 in 9mm that I really enjoy shooting. :3amin:

Hope that you shipped them better than the CobraJet emblem!!! Are you going to BoneDaddy's on Saturday?

[birdman941]

I have a .45. Love it. Hands down my favorite gun.


Shouldn't it be "hands up?" :23:

Did you get it from Essential Arms?

Yup.

Thats a really good price right now, cheapest AR I saw at the Midland show was $1200. The only local gun shop around here with stripped lowers is trying to get $180, I bought one from them Aug. of last year for $124 and then had to wait 3 months for my Del-Ton upper to go on it. Sounds like I should have driven to Fort Worth for the show and made a few more investments.
