Portland Gun Show Report

Scott H. · 11-24-2003, 09:55 AM

In recent years I have mostly given up on the Portland show. Over the years I have seen less firearms and more non gun items at the shows. When I do find a nice gun at the show I find the prices to be higher than at other out of state shows.

On the other hand I find that the Reno show has gotten better and better each year. I don't mind the extra cost of flying over for the show as I always come back with something nice at a fair price. This time I came back with two Lugers, one shooter and one as a collector. Also at the Reno show I can stop by and talk with Ralph Shattuck anytime I have a Luger question. In my opinion that alone is worth the price of admission.
