My first gun show coming up....any tips?

**Last Resort** · November 18th, 2009, 03:09 PM

I'm planning on going to the Monroeville gun show at the expo mart in Mid December. I'm hoping to find a good deal on a PF9 (or possibly P3-AT) there. As I've never been to a gun show before, any tips for what to look for (or what to steer clear of)?

I'm just wondering if there are any pointers for buying a gun, new or used, at these shows? I am hoping to pick up my CCW at this show (Keltec PF9 or P3-AT).

Other than just use your head and shop around. Bring ID if your planning on buying anything.

I find that gun shows are best for finding the stuff that you can't find in any old store or if you don't have a decent gun shop by you. If you want to find the gems, get there early on the first day.

Thanks for the info. My buddy keeps telling me "the great deals to be had" are on the last day, because they want to get rid of everything. I was thinking that it would be better to go the first day, as they will not have run out of as much yet.
