Can anyone comment on the Reno show. It is being held at the end of March. I was not able to attend the SOS, but Reno is in my plans.
Any comments will be appreciated.

Mike,

The Reno show is well attended and once in a while you can really find a deal there. I went to the November show (they have three per year) and found some nice magazines right off as there is an area that the lugers,p38s, Walthers and other war guns are condensed. I just happen to be walking by one of the many Western gun sellers and he had one luger. It turned out to be a 1918 Erfurt rig with two magazines,Erfurt tool and very nice 1917 holster. The gun itself was an excellent complete example all matching including the grips and I bought it for $1700 which compared to the Luger dealers was a steal. It is March 27-30 but to get in on the 27th you need an exhibitor pass which is worth it as a lot of deals are done during set up. Curt
