PGCA gun show is about mid size from what I hear.

TheTeXasSoldier · 07-03-2004, 05:02 PM

Scottd was it big?

whirlwind · 07-03-2004, 06:11 PM

tulsa gun and knife show! i believe its over 12 acres of tables with the aisles about 4 feet apart and each aisle is about 200 feet long! the one in the spring covers both levels of the event building! maybe it was 6 acres? idunno fer sure do a google on "tulsa expo center" and you can see how big it is. they bill it as the largest gun show in north america! its for sure a two day event to see everything

Take a look at this site. I guess it is now held in the Reliant Center. It's billed as Texas's largest gun show and ya'll know Texas is pretty big. 1550+ tables.

Can't remember if this is smaller or bigger or just the same as when I went. But let me suggest this, you better have a comfortable pair of shoes on. I've been to shows in MO, WI, IL, FL and TX. Nothin' has topped that show yet.

just from the pics id say tulsa's is bigger. my brother in law went to one some place in texas last year and he said they told him it was the largest in texas and he said tulsa's was about double the size. ya never know,it may be worth your drive to come check it out next spring? there are two differant shows.one just covers the upper level and the BIG one covers the entire center,both levels. i can never remember which is which until i go and im either dissapointed or pleasantly surprised hahaha. they usually have beau gritz there and some german ww2 ace signing books and that randy...crap i forget his name now! the guy whos wife and child were murdered at ruby ridge. randy something. they have self defense lectures for women and children at the west end of the building and all the beer ya can drink! yee ha! then beau and the others sign autographs for a while and sell their wares.
