Countdown to the NRA meeting

No, actually, I didn't.  Didn't even suspect anyone with the possible exception of the 3M's

I saw a few people open carrying, but a whole lot were concealed.  I also liked noticing how relaxed the police officers were that were in attendance.

Saw your booth. I was going to say hi but you were occupied. Hope you did a lot of business.

It was CRAZY! You should have hung out, it would have been great to meet you!

FYI: Mucho thanks to Michael Bane for putting me on TV! Heads up: The Code "DRTV" gives you free shipping from my site if you need anything!

OK, since you asked, my favorite guns at the show were the Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle and the Marlin 1894SBL, which is interesting since I'm not really a rifle guy (YET).  Yes, there were lots and lots and lots and lots of ARs on display...didn't blow my skirt up.  Also there were lots and lots and lots and lots of 1911s...still reeling from my Springfield nightmare.  I also got to handle a number of birds head SAA clones...I really like the feel of those.  Cimarron has a new one called the Thunderball which fits my wife's and my hands perfectly.

Had a great time there as well. Said hi to MB on Friday afternoon and chatted for a few minutes. Really true about both AR's and 1911's. There also seemed to be a lot more Russian manufactured/sourced firearms. It did not seem as crowded as last year but there was also more floor space. And it seemed like there was more exhibitors as well.

I enjoyed "shooting" the Beretta PX4 compact. Would really like to try that in real life. The SR1911 looked pretty good and I liked the handgun in the Steyr booth. Unfortunately they had no literature on it. I think I played with every single lever action rifle I could and had to take pictures of my friend with every single rifle based pistol there was. The Sako TRG 22 looked awesome as well as the Nemesis takedown rifle.

Can not wait for next year.
