There's a lot of people dragging the same guns to the same shows over and over again, but I have actually made my best purchases at the local shows. For example, got a very nice, matching Nambu T14 for $450 not too long ago, a near mint slotted, 3-lever Radom for $600 last fall, and a buddy of mine bought a whole collection of nice Colt Pythons for about $850 each at the local show last weekend. Just watch the "walkers" and you may get lucky. It can sure take time to sniff them out, but then again: I doubt there are any places where you can find all the guns you want at good prices.
