I never said "big" to the best of my recollection. Just "weenie."

Edit. I did say you were a funny guy....so there's that.

Any interested we can work up a sea food feast at The Salt Water Grill. Just let me know. @Triple T will be on hand Saturday to greet Y'all at @Etruett 's table. Have a good time and stop by if you can.

Thanks. No idea what the local market is down around MB - just know what I've been getting for it at NC shows, that I'll have a pile of it with me at MB, and that I intend on being the cheapest guy there with US made 9mm. LOL
 
One helluva crowd today. Lines up around the building an hour before opening. Actually opened the doors 15 minutes early. Was worried about everyone’s safety. Line was getting in the road. Lots of guns and ammo were seen leaving the building and I never heard one sold mention the election. It was great.

And your selling price for 9mm at a gun show is how much? And what was the brand name?

$30 a box or $550 a case. We had Federal American Eagle, Blazer Brass, Speer Lawman, and Fiocchi (not much Fiocchi). We priced it all the same, regardless of brand or weight. Let people mix and match for the case price. We sold every round we had by lunchtime today. That was over 35,000 rounds total. Also sold a few thousand rounds of hollowpoint at $1 a round. Again, sold all we had.

Sold all but 20 rounds of our 5.56, as well. Something north of 10,000 rounds. Would have sold more, but we ran out except for those 20 rounds, which I found today and put them out for the last part of the show. Selling price was 72 cents per round if bought loose in bulk, or 80 cents per round by the box. IMI, Federal Lake City, and some commercial reloads (a regional company like Georgia Arms, but out of the Midwest).

Sold all of our .45 ACP.

Sold all of our .40.

Sold all of our .380 and .38 Special, but we didn't have much to begin with.

We sold a lot to other dealers this morning. They sold all theirs at higher prices and bought ours to take back to their stores or to a show next week.

The truck and trailer were rejoicing tonight as we drove home. We burned A LOT less fuel driving back up into the Piedmont (uphill) than we burned driving downhill to the beach on Friday.
 
Sounds like you had a good weekend Cubrock. Looks like burning, stealing (looting), and Antifa/BLM is good for the gun and ammo business. Plus you were in gangland Murder Beach.

Was Defender Ammo at the show? Those guys are doing very well at gun shows. I think they told me at 2:00 on the first day they were out of 9mm and 556. All I saw was defensive carry stuff.

Hickory was the last I seen them at and I don’t know the date. I didn't attend the last Hickory show. We talked about available spent casings a little and he mentioned they were in short supply and how to get them to them.

Defender hasn’t done any shows in months. They can’t make enough ammo to fill their online orders, so they have nothing left for shows. Last I heard, they are having a really hard time getting enough primers.

The last time I saw them was at the Hickory show in March - the show that got shut down on Saturday afternoon. I think that was the show where they ran out of 9 and 5.56.

I know several dealers that buy from Defender and Precision One. Both are saying the main problem is primers. Supposedly Defender has over 5 million primers on back order with their suppliers and they trickle in
