Anyone go to show today? Was wondering how it was.

[dannyb]

I'll be going tomorrow. Sorry, not much help to you.

[RichG]

Is ok thought of taking quick drive up to check it out.

It was nowhere near as crowded as it usually is. Normally there is a line of 20-40 people waiting at opening. There was maybe 7 of us today. We stayed until lunch. Even then not crowded.

LOTS of AR pistols. More than I've ever seen.

Some good knife vendors. I bought a nice Gerber 06 auto.

I made a reasonable offer to a guy on a used Taurus 85. I offered $25 bucks less than his asking price. He took the revolver back and rather pissily said "no". Oh, well. I'm not the one sitting on unsold merchandise. I like the Gerber better anyway.

Split Rock is pretty much always a decent show.

It wasn't an especially good price. It was less than MSRP, but more than some sites online. The value comes with being able to hold a bunch of different models and see which you like the best. I'm finicky when it comes to blade grinds, blade wobble, etc. It's worth a few extra for me to be able to pick the knife that meets all of my quirky requirements.

The one vendor had Gerbers, Protechs, Microtechs, Zero Tolerance, Benchmades, out the fronts, out the side, stilletos, tacticals, Emersons, etc., etc. He was in the back room. There was another vendor up front that was selling cheapo, out the front autos for 4-7X what the guy in the back was selling them for. No thanks.

$25 is too much for a Taurus!

I got in around noon. Was surprised to find a Ruger LCP Custom, the one with the red trigger and better sights than the regular LCP. These are not all that common. Was a used piece, dickered a bit with the price and it came home with me. I do like this show, enough different stuff to keep it interesting without being overwhelming. I have found stuff at Split Rock GS that I was looking for at Oaks with no luck. I usually end up spending about an hour at this one before moving on to other things. For those who haven't been to this one in years, there used to be a toll to get there, that's been gone for a while.
