Anyone else get dumb when they go to a Gunshow?

[Bama]

I had been reading reviews on a HK P2000 went to gun show looking for one found NEARLY what I wanted found a HK P2000SK with night sites it is the smaller version which I am buying it for concealed carry but I had shot the
p2000 bigger version liked it but found a good deal on smaller p2000sk well I bought it got it home shot 20rds through it it is too small for me no I have to decide if I want to sell it or not. If I do probably going to lose my butt

[Bama]

any way what I meant was has anyone bought anything got it home and realized they had messed up bad
?

New gun purchase and mistake, there is no such thing.

We had a long(and multiple) thread(s) about a guns show purchase gone bad involving a rifle not to long ago.

Post it in the classifieds, you never know what someone else is looking for.

I'll start the bidding with a dollar

Its not just gun shows where I go crazy. Guns are an investment the way I see it. Since I have been old enough to buy guns and started collecting them I have viewed them as such. If taken care of most stay pretty well within the price that was given for them.

I have been taken Big Time at several gun shows. Need to really watch your P's & q"s

I got a good deal I just didnt get exactly what I wanted then decided I didnt want it when I got home.

talk to trophy 8 about losin hundreds at a gun show

[Mike]

Here is my .02 on this deal,,,It has nothing to do with a gun deal gone bad as it did in Trophy8's situation. This is a simple case of buyer's remorse. You settled on something that you were not sure you wanted because it was a good deal. As long as it is an HK, you are not going to lose anything, maybe $50-60 unless you try to dump it fast in order to get something else.

An HK is a good investment no matter what, a gun that is not chambered in something that everyone is looking for, not such a good investment.

Here is something that everyone that goes to a gun show needs to do,,,first, make a budget for what you can spend, second, make a list of what you want to accomplish within that budget. The key thing is the list, do not purchase anything at a show that is not on your list simply because it is more that likely something that you do not need.

I have seen crazy things at gun shows. I have buddies that regularly drop $4,000-6,000 adding to their collections but they all have a list and follow it to a "T".

I have also seen guys with no funds (cash) attend a gun show and get in a deal bind when the credit card statement arrives.

[Bama]

No the gun deal was great I just bought the smaller version from what I had shot and I got it home shot it it shoots great I just dont like the way it feels in my hand.
