Looking forward to this one. Missed the last Charlotte and Asheville shows. Have a busy weekend, but plan to make it down for a few hours Saturday Morning. I plan on trying to trade/sell my SA Socom in the Troy Chassis (want the CQB model) and maybe my Walther PPQ 45.

Hopefully, my buddy will be able to make it too. He's looking for a basic/entry level AR for "just in case" i.e when/if the Stuff Hits the Fan.

See you there, hopefully.

I have the insensitive speech table. There will also be a dwindling stack of the new Bracken novel.

I only took the Fayetteville show so I could get on the waiting list for this one, which was sold out ~2 months ago. And they slotted me immediately. PM me if you don't get anything.

How much powder do you guys see at Hickory? Looking for VV N120.
 
Blue Collar sometimes sets up at Hickory. They are your best bet for powder. I didn't see them tonight at set-up, but I wasn't looking for them, either.

We'll be there.
 
Well, I went and spent a lot of time eyballing @knifeman32's table. Started at the CZs, they just didn't fit/feel right. I then contemplated a Performance Center Shield, but convinced myself it wasn't all that different than my 9c. Next on my list were the P320 and the VP9. I was back and forth for a while, and finally landed on the VP9. As I was checking out, I was informed of HK's rebate, so that's a bonus. This was my first purchase from BBS, and it won't be my last. In the future, unless I run across a phenomenal deal, I'll be waiting til the next show and giving my money to BBS.

I've had the pleasure of buying 2 guns from BBS the last two shows I was at. Both times I emailed Jerek about two different guns I was looking for. He found them and got back to me with great prices on both. Then he brought them to the shows for me. He had never done any business with me and never asked for a deposit to get the guns. He's got himself a new customer that will only be looking for him at shows when I'm in the market for a gun. I'll also be recommending him to all my friends.
 
Nobody stopped by to say hello. I'm crushed.

Table to the left of me: full of fidget spinners. Behind table to the right of me: cute dog. I was Rodney Dangerfield, all day...no respect.

I'll try to find you tomorrow. Didn't have the time today. The crowd was timed perfectly to keep me at my table, except for having to literally run for a family emergency. Thankfully, it turned out okay.

Anywho, hope to see you tomorrow.

Glad it weren't too serious(?). I'm by myself too, so can't really venture much. Every time I looked around, someone was trying out another 2million lumen flashlight...pointed straight in my eyes.

I discovered Jerek on May 27th at a show in Winston. Since then, I've bought 4 guns from him. It's getting to the point where I can walk up to his table and just hand him my wallet (well, almost ;)). It is such a pleasant experience doing business with he and his clan that I drove more than 3 hours today to do so.
 
ill be there tomorrow before lunch if anyone wants 1000 rounds of lake city 62gr in a can.

PM me so I know to throw it in the car; ill make a thread in BST if nobody claims it in the next 12 hours~

I did the Dixie show in Charlotte a few years ago and was beside of a gutter company or something that was very proactive about getting leads - so people would always turn away when their sales reps would look their way...I feel like I could have been TONS better had I been beside a gun-related business.

You all are far too kind. I can assure you, all of your business is much appreciated.

When I got there yesterday morning, the three tables next to me (where cute dog and her kid-master moved into, about 10:00) were empty. Some vendors obviously under-reserve their tables, and show up with a surplus of merchandise, then hit the promoter up for discounted extra tables at the last minute. If only I could've called you...

Sorry brother.
I did the PHA Open House yesterday, which was good, short, and local.
And while I did wish I had an event today, its probably good because I sold out of a lot L-XXL
Still have S, Med, and XXXL, but those other sizes sold through pretty good
 
quite a few empty tables today... and one complete 'section' not even set up.... maybe a 30 x 30 ft empty space.
 
I saw a lot more than I could afford. Did pick up a few odds and ends. Wish I wasn't trying to stop buying ammo... Traded into a 9mm Hi Point carbine. Now just need to see how I like it and then have the guts to run it in the next IDPA match in PCC. I've got pretty thick skin, and I want to see how it stacks up against the pistol guys. I need more rifle /carbine trigger time anyway....
