Here in the Richmond, VA area there is a gun show this weekend up in Doswell, VA (up I-95 by King's Dominion amusement park. It's held at the VA State Fairgrounds just down the road).
I went there just to go and observe.... Here's some very surprising facts and/or opinions:
(1) The place wasn't mobbed. No line at all. I walked right in.
(2) There wasn't a "panic buying spree" or anything like that.
(3) Ammo prices were sky high for some reason.
....a) Excuse me? $35 bucks for Federal FMJ .45ACP?
....b) WalMart has Winchester FMJ .45ACP for $19 bucks!
4) The other section/room of the gun show was rather interesting if you ask me: Zombie apocalypse type of stuff... Survival and tactical gear... MRE's... Water purifier chemicals... Cantines and sterno cans and even medical/surgical bags like on M*A*S*H. And the patrons in there were a little "out there" if you get my drift... Sheesh... Seriously, dude?
But the main reason for this post (hopefully the Mods won't mind me combining topics), and the best part of going to the show?!?
Talk about "finding a needle in a haystack"!!!
Used full size LEFT HANDED 1911 holster by Safariland (An older model 328)!!!
Price: $20 bucks.... :rock:
I had brought my new RIA 1911-A1 FS "Rock Series" with me, (and a State Police officer put a zip tie through the chamber). Anyway, the guy cut the zip tie and then he and I test fitted it in the Safariland 328, and it fit like a glove. The older model 328 was for a common, universal flavor, 1911 with a 5" barrel. Can't beat that at all for $20 bucks!!
