Feb 8 2025 purchased what was supposed to be a NEW .22 LR revolver. After getting it home and removing the cylinder to then remove the little orange disk so the gun can be loaded, I find that not only is the disk missing but the front of the cylinder is so powder burned that I can’t clean it up. Very disappointing. Vender was Boswells Guns and Ammo from Lamoni, IA. They were the highest priced at the show on this particular gun. So I paid extra for the one I wanted. Factories test fire their products but not to the point that they’re permanently powder burned. The gun show itself overall was great!! But buyer beware!!!
I love the Hawkeye Downs Gun Show. It’s definitely a family friendly event! The vendors are very personable and friendly and the prices are competitive.
I always have fun at this gun show. I got my M206 for under MSRP new at one show I went to, and even if I don’t buy anything big it’s always fun to browse. Great thing to do on a weekend with friends.
The Cedar Rapids show has turned into a “Anything but gun” show. It is full of trinkets, garbage, grills, and run of the mill flea market junk. To add to that, admission is up as well. They have collected their LAST admission fee from me. Would not recommend!
Not sure you were in the right place
Was just this afternoon (hawkeye down). I was charged $10 to get in thats gone up. Not as many vendors with guns as i remember from years b4. Everyone was asking alot for their items. Didnt find any good deal, only year i remember leaving with nothing.
One of the best around. I was able to find those hard too find rounds ,like 410, 44 mag, 357 mag, 327 mag and more.
If I could only go to one gun show a year, this would be the one.
I have purchased 2 guns and plenty of ammo from this Hawkeye Downs gun show and would not hesitate to purchase again.
I highly recommend this show to all.
Probably the 2nd best show in Iowa. A great selection. Make sure you check out the back area. The best deals are back there.
I’m new-ish to going to gun shows in Iowa, and I’m curious to know; if you believe that this is the 2nd best gun show in the state, which show do you think is the best one, and can you give me acoupla’ reasons why you like it more?
Especially now that I’m not working (thanks, Covid!) guns are expensive, as is travel to these shows, so it feels more important than ever to get the most bang for my buck. I’m hoping to figure out which two or three shows are most worthwhile, so I don’t find myself wasting a bunch of time/money at shows that are just a replay of a larger gun show held somewhere else, but lacking half the vendors, etc…
Thanks in advance!
The Davenport shows are pretty good.
The Des Moines show at the fair grounds isn’t too bad. Worth the trip about once a year.
It is a great gun show and all vendors are friendly. It is worth your time going.
