Hendersonville Gun Show

[Grunt67]

According to their ads & website, RK Shows will have a show in Hendersonville this weekend, Aug. 25

& 26th. @ 90 Volunteer Dr.

Their first shows were good, later shows, a bust. Been quite a while since they had one at this

location. Guess I'll give it a look.

I've really been disappointed with the last few at the Ag Center in Williamson County. I hope yours is worth the entry fee.

...at Strike & Spare? Might have to check it out.

Edit: $66? That'd be better spent towards a new gun. Oh well.

surely its not $66 to get in...

[daddyo]

Sounds more like the table fee....

[hlb14]

their web site says 800 tables so hopefully it will be worth the trip

[xRUSTYx]

The recent Hendersonville ones have been a bust IMO ...

The first was the best

Looked again...I think you're correct.

Anyone know what they usually charge at the door?

I think it was $9 ? If my memory serves me correctly ....

[bubbadavis]

I think its $10 but you can print a coupon from their website. That gets you in both days, BTW.

[Guest Razz]

Another question since we're on the topic:

Are there usually some good deals to be had at these or is it mainly to see all the good stuff in one place? I'm in the market for a <&450 compact 9mm and curious if this event is worth the $10 to find out.

I see that many of you aren't too happy with this specific event's recent history...

[Guest TNLC9]

$20.00 per person for wife and I at Hendersonville. NOT WORTH THE PRICE.

[VERO1]

$20 per person????????!!!!!!!

[Defender]

No its 10.00 per person but you can print out a coupon for a dollar off so 9.00. And parking is free. So actually cheaper than Bill Goodmans at the fairgrounds overall. Like has already been posted, it started out great and then dwindeled some, but hopefully this one will be good since they havent had it in a while. Heck, I think its worth the price just to be around that much gun stuff for a morning. But I have seen some good deals there...as well as some high p[rices, just like at all shows.

well my daughter will be there with powder and reloading supplies i am going to okc

[Grunt67]

Where are all these figures coming from? Adm is normally $10, tables are $66, $56 prepaid. Free parking. $1 off

w/ coupon. Website says 850 tables. That's how many are available, not likely that many in use, hope so, don't

bet the farm.

Got an itch for a M&P Shield if I can find one. Rather scare right now in some places & pricey as well.

Yep, here's the coupon link: http://rkshows.com/coupon.htm

I hope this one is better than the last two local shows i been to.

They do have the table count up to 850 so there will something to look at.

I'm ruined since doing the Louisville show this past spring. Wowza!

[Guest FIST]

I'm heading that way around noon tomorrow if any Clarksville TGO'ears want to ride with.

[xRUSTYx]

Anyone go and come back yet? What's it like?

[Guest Razz]

I was there from 10:00 to 10:30, this morning. I just cruised the booths with my son (19mo) in tow.

Checked out some pistols I'm interested in. Prices were in line with what I want to pay (read: $10-20 less than in stores)

Found my sr22 for $40 less than I paid, two weeks ago. Found a .40 PPQ for $525. If I can talk down under $500, I might pick it up tomorrow.

....aaaand there was a bunch of cool accessory stuff that I've been wanting to purchase.

I can't tell you if it's a good turnout or not but I quite liked it. I'm gonna spend a lot more time there, tomorrow.

Just left there.

Pretty decent show.

Picked up a holster for my Mak and a low profile gas block for the AR.

Not bad...

Can anyone tell me what the purchase procedure is for gun shows? Is it the same as buying from a store? Background check + fee?

If buying from a dealer at the show, it's just like purchasing from a gun shop. You will be required to pay for and go through the background check process.

If buying from a private individual at the show, treat the transaction as any other transaction between two private individuals.
