Yesterday we drove to Chantilly for the big show and arrived around 1:00.  The show doesn't start until 3:00 but you can pay a little extra to get in during setup which we did.  It was very cool to be able to walk around without a bunch of people pushing and shoving!  

We were able to walk the entire show before the official opening at 3:00PM.  Out of the an $1100 Model 15-2 V Pistol Pac which is obviously a little high in my opinion.

We're getting ready to head back there now so better luck today.

Photo, I wish I had gotten your restaurant recommendation earlier!  The place we ended up at wasn't very good.  I tried to go to this show a couple of times a years so I will try it next time.

Well guys the show was pretty much a bust for me.  My cousin picked up a Springfield XD with a stainless slide in .40 S&W for $509 which seemed to be a pretty good price.  I spotted 2 boxes of 357 Max ammo but they wanted $60 EACH!  Needless to say I walked away from that table.

I did pick up a USA made Old Timer Sharpfingers for $20 which is a pretty good deal.  The Older USA Schrade knives are going up in value since they went out of business.
