I went this morning. Got there around 845. The line to buy tickets was wrapped around the building, then the line to get in after you buy your ticket was a mile long. I didnt get in till almost 930. Then you stand 3 deep at all the tables to look at anything. Honestly its not worth the hassle. My little brother was looking at buying a handgun and ended up with a Sig p230. He got an ok deal. I bought a Xd9 last year for 419. Same gun is now 469 and higher. Ammo sellers are asking ridiculous prices and selling out fast. It wasnt worth going IMO. Josh

You are better off finding the local gun shows, like the one out in conroe. Its still kinda nuts, but nothing near what Cam72aro described.

That's a bit too far. My brother bought some AR-15 and .357 ammo today.

Wow the .223 ammo goes quick these days, I have been hard pressed to find any since right before the election....wonder why. Anyway, what I was getting at is not so much that you should come to conroe, but check around to see if they are having a local gunshow closer to you. I've been to them all over town, so I know they have them, you just have to check now and then.
