what bargains are available at the gun show to offset the price of admission.

I've only been to one gun show and walked out with my P-6. It was worth the price of admission ($5) for me.

It depends on your area. Here in the Iowa City area, the prices at gun shows are most often the same if not higher than local shops. The price of admission is worth it just to look around and handle as many guns as you can. It's usually only $5. Good luck!
