This was pretty disappointing. Saw a handful of transferables, lot more surplus and parts then a usual show and a lot of the same stuff. There were a couple of tables with older smiths and colts, but they were really proud of their stuff. Ended up with a scandium framed smith and should have bought an older repro m1 paratrooper stock at 125 but passed on. Was tempted by 2 no dash 610’s and an unfired Hudson 9 - all were priced at 1200

It’s about the only gunshow reminiscent of the old pre-Roberti-Roos “Great Western” Pomona gunshows at the LA County fairgrounds. For me the SAR building justifies the high admission price. But having said that, in my experience, having had a table(s) at that particular show in every building there (and outside), a lot people going to that show don’t know the SAR building is part of that gunshow. Fr’instance many is the time I’ve had a table in the SAR building and noticed that when I walked over to the “main” buildings there were TWICE as many people in the aisles. It literally got to the point I stopped getting a table in the SAR building because the location didn’t justify the higher table price and lack of foot traffic.

On another note as long as Crossroads has a de facto monopoly and stranglehold on Phoenix gunshows those sky high admission prices will continue to climb.
