I've bought exactly 5 guns at gun shows, mostly back when I knew even less than the little I know now, and all were pretty straight forward and hard to mess up. I've been lucky; never bought a stinker. Frankly I wouldn't trust myself to buy anything very expensive that way. All the rest I've bought from reputable dealers or site members that I was familiar with and trusted. There are a lot of shady folks out there, and even worse, a lot of folks who don't know anything but think they do. JMO.
