Friday usually is the least busy day relatively speaking, and Saturday is the busiest.

Thanks for letting me check out the grips. I just know my wife would have had some serious issues had I taken you up on the offer to shoot. Nice workmanship Strad!

Gunshop guy, plblark pointed out who you were after we chatted. I finally put a face to the screen name! I was the guy with the loud blue shirt and quiet purple clad 3.5 year old.
Turns out I bought my Kahr from you 1.5yrs ago.

Fun event, I need to get a couple hours away from the kids to actually shoot something next time! At least I got my name entered into the drawing...

The question is, do you like the Kahr? Was it new or used? It is the only time I would ever say i was a "used Kahr Salesman"...

As for the drawing, I hope you win one of the big prizes.

Good to meet you Gunshop guy. Glad I could throw some business your way.

Meet about 10 forum members and customers. Good time. Maybe the spring show I will have a booth setup. :mrgreen:

I wear it all day every day, and it was new when I bought it. It works great for code words too. When I put it in the safe I park the Kahr, if my shirt is hiked up and you can see it my wife tells me the kahr is stalling and if I ever get another one I'll just have to pick up a double shoulder rig so I can call it a two Kahr garage.
No complaints from me!

Nice. I like the code words, that's good stuff.

Got another EoTech at the show yesterday, as well as some minor items. Definitely worth stopping in!

Oh, and the FN rep said my SCAR (ordered a few months ago) will be shipping before the end of the year! I don't really believe it, but at least it sounds like they are definitely going to market them to we civilians!

Went today, not much of anything that you can't get any other day. If you're looking to try a gun then it is a great time but if not then I guess it does not have much to offer.

The prices were pretty decent, though. I had a hard time walking away from those 7.62 rifles in the box... and the Taurus 1911 for under $500... There was a serious risk vs reward going on with that one. Warm bed... .45 warm bed... .45
