Following up to my Bloomsburg PA gun show visit, it was a well run, well attended show. 2 large rooms. Estimated 500 tables. Heavily attended. There were lots of wheelguns and single shot Encores, Contenders, and even a Savage Striker there. Lots of hunting style rifles too. Still more than needed tactical gear and black / multicolored guns. LOL. The irony in it for me is I came home with a 9mm S&W SD9 VE and a case of cheap 9mm ammo. I traded an old 30/30 Savage that had not been shot for many years for the SD9. All in all a good show that I recommend. Only $6 admission.

BILLA: ANY GUN SHOW IS BETTER THAN NO GUNSHOW, BUT SEEMS LIKE THE ONE YOU WENT TO WOULD HAVE BEEN OF INTEREST TO HANDGUN HUNTERS AND REVOLERISTS. THE GUNSHOW I WENT TO A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WAS "JUST OK" BUT BETTER THAN NO GUN SHOW.


"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.

I agree with 45MAN that any gun show is better than no gun show. I usually go to the Harrisburg PA show in March but the last several have been mostly tactical / military with very little hunting style guns. Most dealers have 5 ir 6 cases of autos and maybe 1 case of revolvers. A few years back we went to find my son a Contender at the Harrisburg show. There were 3 in the entire 900 table show. Fortunately we did get a nice condition .223 with A Bushnell Elite scope that was from an estate collection. Even came with the box.
There were probably 8 different sellers at Bloomsburg with A couple dozen Contenders and Encores and many revolver sellers with all calibers. Saw quite a few big guns. BFRs, X frames and the like. Definitely a good handgunner show. Did not see any Bernie it Biden bumper stickers in the parking lot! I love America!
