Nations Gun Show (Chantilly, VA); Sept 30, Oct 1 & 2, 2022

[Crosseye Dominant]

Any tables at this show sell DPM recoil reduction system products? Been looking for the 4.25 bushing barrel 1911 one and it is backordered online.

 

[Slackdaddy]

Looking for sig P365 9mm 15 round mags. Has anyone seen them at previous shows in VA?

Can't say for 100% that your mag WILL be there.
But there are typ 2-3 vendors with table after table after table of nothing but mags,, new and used, divided up into hundreds of bins.
Add to that lots of vendors that mags are not their main thing,, have mags for popular guns.

Going today friday. Wish they would open at 1 instead of 3. A few years ago they did for one year and then went back to three pm start. I'm going to Clark Brothers Gun shop first in Warrenton, VA. My nephew went there in the spring it has been there a long time. I got to check it out!

talk about the height of hypocrisy.

Never understood this opinion at a gun show.. There are too many accidental discharges without that rule.

People are always pulling their guns out for holster fittings or looking at the sights. It is the “bad gun handling “ problem not the “angry dunk” problem.

Going tomorrow weather permitting

we don't trust ourselves at a gun show but everyone else is supposed to trust us everywhere else. blatant hypocrisy.

maybe we (& you) should voluntarily not carry at any place that has a restroom as surely there has been an AD/ND or two when taking a poop. ditto for within a mile radius of any place that is off limits to carry since some will holster/unholster and surely there has been an AD/ND or two doing that. and definitely ditto at gun stores for the same reason as at gun shows...

 

[308Scout]

I'll likely be there. Never been to the Nation's show. How does this one stack up to the bigger PA shows? I'll be searching for some HK P30SK standard capacity mags.

 

[John from MD]

I was at the big Philly show (before it moved) many years ago when they required you to unload your gun before you entered. As one fellow that I just passed was unloading, I heard "Blamm" and a bullet ricocheted off of a MA2 that was on a table. No one got hurt but I was shaking for a while.

That was the dumbest policy I ever saw.

Well, here ya' go.

Man shoots himself in foot at Virginia gun show, police say

Stuff like this does wonders for the show, 2A, and CCW community. Why tempt fate by mixing armed CCW holders with shoppers who are testing, measuring, and dry firing guns and accessories, all together? It's almost as stupid as allowing live ammo on a movie set along with blanks and a movie prop gun.

I've attended Philly and Chantilly for over a decade. Chantilly skews more evil black rifle, whereas Philly tends more toward C&R and wood, though the Mach and October Philly shows are so big that they cover the waterfront. I plan to be in Chantilly October 1, and in Philly the week thereafter.

Will most likely be there tomorrow as well. I'll likely be the one jackelope amongst the crowd wearing an MDS shirt.

Oooh you reminded me to wear my MDS name badge (thanks for your countless contributions, @eruby) and make sure my MSI membership, plus litigation contributions, are up to date. GIVE TO MSI!

We can use help working the MSI table, too. Costs you nothing, saves you the admission fee. Good deal.

 

[Crosseye Dominant]

The good ammo deals are in the room to the left near the front of the building... Forgot the name of the booth, thin dude in ball cap with his wife. Beats everyone in the building and the Internet prices.

 

[Sage954]

any tables selling over/unders. Looking to handle a few trap guns for my son? Thanks

 

[Kirkster]
