Gun Show Goodies

As I said yesterday, accessories were hit or miss at the show. Outside of ammo, gun and mag. prices were back down to normal retail.  All those nitwits paying $2k for an AR and $75 for mags are hopefully kicking themselves now.

Anywhoo, for one reason or another, my tables were a 'hit' so I treated myself to some wants and some needs. 

On the 'Needs', A bit back I traded my 1911 for a Baretta 92s. Unknown to me at the time, 92S accessories are a bitch to come by. It's an older model and the mag release is in a different spot than on the more common F and FS models (I'm thinking it was for 'teacup' style) so I was having a hard time finding a replacement grip (I didn't like the smooth walnut) and extra mags. Well one dealer had both.  I picked up a set of checkered rubber grips and a Pro Mag 92F mag that had the catch for the S model.  The grip was a wraparound which I didn't like so I trimmed the front and installed.

Then the 'wants'. Another vendor had an odd looking AK bayonet that neither he nor I knew the specifics on.  I took a couple of pics and did some research (netbook w/ wireless card be handy) and learned it was a Vietnamese model. I cried 'IT MUST BE MINE' and bought it.

Unfortunately, I had one of 'those' encounters at the show.  I response (although I was likely going to anyway), I purchased a Nowill design Israeli Combat Knife and just as an extra 'Eff off' I made sure numerous others knew of said encounter's views so he won't be getting much love at the next show. 

A good (though very long) weekend.
