Went to the local Belleville Gun Show last wknd. Saw a bunch of the old timers I used to know when I was doing the shows back in the late 80's. AR15 prices are steadily going down. Mag availability and prices as well.
Traded some old leather holsters I've had laying around for years for .45ACP ammo. Carried around my Norinco AK84 and a mag pouch with 6 30rd mags in it. Got offered $900 cash.....brought it back home.
I did make one mistake...well..sorta...kinda...handled an XDs in 9MM last weekend.....the .45ACP version is a little scarce now a days it seems. However one of the dealers I knew from back then had one in .45ACP and gave me $340 trade in for my S&W 640 Centennial in '38SPC that I thought would be my CCW gun and another $50 off for the reloads I had so I bought it! No pics yet because of the 3 day wait.
Also signed up for Florida CCW class because there will be no reciprocity in the current Illinois bill and Florida is a 'shall issue state.' That way I can legally carry in Missouri.
Upped my Illinos State Rifle Association to Lifetime.
Now I'm down to 2 calibers.....and that simplifies reloading a bit....good weekend over all.
