This morning we took off for the gun show. We haven’t been for almost six months, and had a list of things we needed to get. Well, we scored everything on the list and then some. At the left is a montage of three items that we brought home with us today.
The first panel is a close-up of some .38 special factory reloads that we got – 500 rounds at a reasonable price. They didn’t have any 158 grain .357 reloads, so we settled for the .38 rounds – they’re only going to be used for target practice anyway.
In the next panel, something not on the list – a nice T-shirt with a warm and fuzzy message. Damsel really needed that, so we got it. They had a lot of funny and interesting T-shirts, including one that had a picture of a Harley Davidson Motorcycle and a caption that said “You never see a motorcycle parked outside of a psychiatrist’s office.” If I were still riding, I might have picked that one up.
On the bottom is sort of an experiment. Damsel’s Para Warthog is a bit finicky sometimes about the ammo we use – it likes new ammo better than reloads. So, we bought 500 rounds of Wolf, which is Russian-made .45 ACP ammo. I guess we’ll see how well a Canadian Pistol works with Russian cartridges. My Glock 30 doesn’t seem to care, so we bought 500 rounds of reloaded .45 ACP ammo for it.
One gentleman standing next to us at the ammo concession bought 500 rounds of .38 special wadcutters – he was complaining about how his home town had an ordinance that restricts purchases of ammo to a mere 50 rounds per month. He is from – none other than – San Francisco. Poor guy has to come 400 miles to purchase wadcutters – mostly ineffective as anything other than target rounds. The asswipes that run ‘Frisco have no clues, I guess.
It was lots of fun going to the show today. We’re looking forward to the next one in August.
