    I am still planning on making it out there, not sure what day though. What days are people going?

    Also are there any special deals going on? ie 1/2 off HKs or something?

    Considering I'm near by I'd be down.

    I'd go anyday.

    What time are you planning on heading out there?

    Also I just looked up the flyer, they have a lot of giveaways. does one need to be present at the time to win? I'll keep my fingers crossed for the xd-m (lol, I never win anything)

    Hey guys I just got back from there. Got there at noon, I think everyone must of taken lunch off because it as a pita trying to find parking. Once I got inside it was pretty busy, good size crowd, but not overwhelming. The lines for the range wrapped around the counter, but cycled thru quickly like 5-10mins and you're up.

    This is my first gun showing, there were some serious and amazing hardware and brass from various manufacturer. Everything from hand guns, shot guns, machine guns to some Rambo high power long range military caliber weapons.

    I think I shot 150 rounds today before leaving. I tested 3 guns Kahr 9mm, S&W 9mm Pro and 45mm. I had the best results with the 9mm pro. Softer trigger, comfortable in my hands. I might end up going back tonight depending if my brother inlaw decides to take my sister. He a cop for MPLS, so I wanted to get some pointers from him.

    Enjoy!

    I stopped in this afternoon for a bit. All I picked up were a couple zombie targets. Didn't see em but I heard there were a few subarus parked there earlier.

    I stopped by this morning and it was pretty busy. I talked to both the S&W and Springfield people. For the most part people(reps and attendees) were friendly but the guy in the springfield booth was being a mr. I'm too cool to talk to anyone. I didn't feel like waiting around to shoot, I was told it was a 45min wait. Signed up for the goodies though.

    I forget the company off hand but they has some cool setups for the 10-22.



    You're going to have to free up some $$ because the .45 xdm is coming. This summer iicr.

    I might go tomorrow. I didn't head out today as I was kinda tired from getting up so early on a Saturday.

    Glad I went pretty early, got there at about 10:20. Shot the S&w mp 9mm and the xd9. Liked them both quite a bit. It was pretty busy when I left about an hour later.

    Saw a 08 or 09 silver wrx leaving as I ate my subway :yumyum:

    Just got back. Was there with Brian Shorten for a few hours. I'm pretty much in love with the Sig 226 .40S&W at this point. I pretty much wasted the face and heart of my targets with it.

    Sig 226 is a great gun. My dad has one and loves it. I just dont care for the DA/SA, but all it would take is some getting used too.

    I like the weight of the gun. DA/SA wasn't an issue really for me at least.
