    Best show along I-75 in Ohio. Many life-members in attendance.

    The best show along I-75 in Ohio. Too many life-members and third generation low-ballers however.

    I go to a lot of shows. This is one of the best. I sell ARs at this show and do very well. There are a lot of vendors and they all will work with you. I just wish ammo was priced right. Some of these guys have had this ammo for years and since covid they doubled the price. That’s just wrong. Otherwise its a really good show with some really good people.

      Hi Ken, I’ll be there for the first time this weekend. Dec 7-8 2024. Stop and see what I have, I make ammo from all new components and will also do reloading.

    Love the show. A lot to choose from, and most is guns and ammo related! I’ve been to several gun shows that have a lot of “stuff” but not a lot of guns and ammo. Looking forward to it starting again in 2021!

    I grew up in Lima, have been going to the Lima show since 1973 (or earlier). Traded a lucky rabbits foot for my first knife, a 2-blade Barlow with 1 broken blade. Sellers are cool, lots of different stuff. Last show I went to a few months ago had 1 guy with tons of reloading supplies, maybe 30 presses. Another guy selling leather and supplies. Very nice show, 4 buildings were in the last show. All the vendors must have gun related stuff (hunting, knives, etc.) to have a table. Unlike some shows, no sunglasses dealers, used computer crap, etc.

    IMHO this is one of the best shows around, lots of everything gun related and some good food. It’s worth the 2 hour drive for me.
    $5 admission w/ free parking, or you can get the yearly membership and pay nothing for entry for every show, it pays for itself.
    Prices are all over the place so just knowing your prices will help.

    This is one of best shows I have been to. Many tables and tons of private sales.

    I’m with you man. Been here a few times and I’m pretty much just donating the $5.00 door fee. I see a lot of junk in here that nobody wants and things made in China or purchased online with hopes of reselling it in Lima. Everything is cheaper online and I won’t be returning. You MAY find the occasional visitor with their own gun for sale at a reasonable price. Unlikely though …
