Best gun show in the Southeast?
Been to a few shows this year and trying to figure out which are worth the drive. Indy 1500 was my fav. What's the best show in your area?

Welcome to the addiction lol. Your wallet will never recover.
I had the opposite experience honestly. But everyone's different I guess.
If you can make it out to Texas, the Saxet shows are top notch. Houston and San Antonio both get huge turnouts. But for SE specifically, I'd second the Cobb Galleria show in Atlanta. Good mix of dealers and private sellers, plus Georgia's laws make private transfers easy.
For Southeast you gotta hit the Wannenmacher show in Tulsa - technically not SE but worth the drive. In actual SE territory, the Atlanta show at the Cobb Galleria is decent size with good variety. Charlotte and Nashville shows are solid too. Avoid anything at fairgrounds... usually overpriced junk.
I've only been to a couple shows but the one in Charlotte was pretty good for a newbie. Lots of helpful vendors and not too overwhelming. What made Indy 1500 your favorite?
Agreed on Wannenmacher being the gold standard. For closer to you, the Eastman gun show circuit hits good venues. Their Charlotte and Nashville stops usually have competitive ammo prices. Pro tip - hit the smaller regional shows for better deals. Less overhead means better prices usually.
