    In your opinion, what are the best gun shows in Western Canada?

    Hey CGN,
    I'm going to display my products at a couple of gun shows this year. I'll be at the Calgary Easter show because I live near there, and it's very popular.
    It seems like every city and town has it's own show; which ones are the biggest and best? Thanks for the help!
    Glenn.

    Not sure they have open tables available, many filled by repeat members and exhibitors

    If you are heading to BC in Prince George we are having one May 13-14. PG is pretty central to the province so we gets lots of the little communities around us coming to the show. It's not huge but might be worth a trip.

    I like the Calgary and Red Deer shows over the Edmonton one, personally. I found a lot more modern reloading (at reasonable prices) and modern shotgun and rifle stuff at those two shows over the more "military display and sale" of the Edmonton one. Just my opinion though... and I still go to it.

    EDIT: Please note that my comment is based on what I feel is important: reloading and accessories for modern firearms first, old firearms themselves second, milsurp in general third, and modern firearms last.... so my opinion only.

    I am not sure if there is space available but if I were you I'd work my way north.

    The Torrington gun show is nothing to sniff at. There are usually lots of vendors and people that show up. Certainly not the size of Calgary, but they generously fill the arena in town.
    I am a kit hor(der)
