I have to admit that as a general rule, I've spent yrs dismissing 12ga's as I've walked up and down aisles at gun shows while scanning for 20/16/28
As most know, the shows have become 80% carnival and 20% enthusiast. I make my rounds quickly and don't stop unless something captures my attention or, to shoot the breeze with friendly fellows that seem to have similar interests or interesting collections. I seek out the items tucked underneath the table and try to avoid the shysters. Lever guns stop me, Winchester 63's stop me (still haven't found one), Colts stop me, double guns stop me and a particular fella and his gal with a table full of gun sights stops me. Books too. (Bill - I avoid the jewelry girl) I think I really need to make it to one of the sxs shoots some time.
