Gun show prices are crazy right now

Went to the Nation's Gun Show at Dulles Saturday and prices were insane. Glock 19 going for $130 over MSRP. Ammo wasn't much better. Is it like this everywhere or just my area?

I run a similar setup and it's been flawless. Good choice.

Appreciate the honest review. Most people just hype everything up.

Good looking out for sharing this deal. Just ordered one.

Same story here in the midwest. Went to a show in Columbus and basic steel case 9mm was going for $18/box. LGS has it for $12. Think some of these show dealers are banking on impulse buyers who don't shop around.

Arizona shows aren't much better tbh. Crossroads of the West had G19s for $650+ last month. You can find them online for $480 shipped. I think a lot of show dealers got stuck with high-priced inventory and are trying to break even instead of taking the loss.

Been noticing this for the last year or so. Used to be you could find decent deals at shows, especially on used guns. Now half these guys want more than retail for beat up police trade-ins. Only deals I'm seeing are on oddball calibers nobody wants... picked up some .280 Rem for cheap but that's about it.
