For anyone in the central PA area, don't waste your time going to the show at the Farm Show this weekend, its a waste of the admission price.  There was not one Dan there, not even an old 15-2 or even a beat up set of grips, NOTHING.  Aside from that its in the old building that smells of cow manure and to top it off, there was no air conditioning, and it was 90 degrees today!  Oh well maybe next time?

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Went to a gun show this weekend in Middle GA…….same thing, no DWs, or parts to be seen. The prices on most older pistols made Gunbroker prices look like a going out of business sale.wow The venue was clean, though.big-grin

It's been so long since I seen a non 15-2 Dan at a show I've lost the desire to go especially since they keep raising the admission fee!  It's $9 around here and I seldom purchase something!

I've had some luck locally with non 15-2's.  I've picked up a few 44mags, a 445SM, and a few 1911's as well as a HS MKIII.  Most times there are a few 15-2's and some grips, now and then a Pistol Pac shows up but not often.  

I'm still waiting to find a 360 or 460 but I'm also still waiting to win the lottery :)

I've gone to several gun shows here in central Indiana, mostly looking for reloading stuff. The number of Dan's of any kind I've seen? Zero.

Lonwolf, you have a lot of dans in your area as do I . I think that depends on how popular dans were with area law enforcement in the seventies and early eighties.

Ole Dog, we have a few High Standards around these parts too! Did you snatch a revolver from up here? Congrats on the Crusader a really neat one.
