Stan while not promoted as a gun show per se the Southern has no equal when it comes to double guns IMO. The Louisville show used to be really good taking up 2 sections of the hall and was attended by dealers such as Puglisi and Barnette and other well known names. Those days are gone. The show is down to 1 hall and a good deal of that is unoccupied. Still a good sized show but just not what it used to be. Having said that I know dealers that say it is their favorite and best selling show of them all. Just depends on what you are after or peddling I suppose.
The OGCA is still a well recognized show and generally has good attendance. I have been a member for years and used to attend regularly, now just occasionally. In terms of American double guns it has been a hit and miss show for me, mostly miss, but still a good show. Back in the day it WAS the place to be.
If you are laser focused on double guns go to the Southern. Just my proverbial two cents. Get your home equity line of credit established before you leave town
