Florida Shooters Network

There's another Oldsmar show next week.(11-12th). I'm thinking about going.
Any private sales there?

I went to the Tampa show 2 months ago and was disappointed. Hadn't been to a show in years.
I gather they're different now.

Call the venue in Oldsmar. Last show there was no A/C. GARY.

There's a better show this weekend:

Brooksville, at the Hernando County Fairgrounds.

120 tables.

I went there about a year and a half ago. It's a lot smaller than the one at the Tampa Fairgrounds. But we did find a S&W 380EZ for my wife at a good price ($350). So from that perspective it was a success. I don't recall any private sellers. It ran the range from brand new stuff to the older used stuff and of course some gear and such. Just don't expect the size and variety of the one at the Fairgrounds. But it's a bit cheaper to get in since you're not paying for parking on top of the entrance fee.

Pretty good show. They reportedly had a line at opening. It wasn't crowded but there were folks showing up continuously until about 2:00 pm. Several people were walking guns around. There were some tables selling from private collections. There were two buildings of tables.
No problem with the A/C....they didn't need it.
Private sales were OK as long as state and local laws were complied with.
Prices seemed high for both guns and ammo.

Nice, thanks.. So like was there alot of older guns then newer guns..

And was the show dominated by a couple of larger dealers that sold many guns??

Did not seem to be a lot of old guns. Some, but not a lot. There was one vendor with about 8 tables. Didn't get the name. I think 2 Guys shows are good.

There is a similar show this weekend (18th - 19th) at the Pasco County Fairgrounds. I am thinking about going. 100 tables.

That’s the norm on any given weekend in Florida. GARY.
