This morning at the hotel we had breakfast with OldNFO, and with Midwest Blog Chick and Mr. B.
Then we followed Midwest Blog Chick and Mr. B. from the hotel to the convention center, taking quite a scenic route.
After an extended tour of the ring around the center of Indianapolis, we arrived at the NRA Convention:
The NRA has this convention humming and they're running a very efficient show indeed. We were in, with our floor passes issued, in mere moments by some friendly and efficient volunteers and then we went onto the convention floor.
The convention floor is huge and it seems that every name in guns is there. So we started walking down a row at random and ran into some Radoms.
An excellent display of Radom VIS 35 pistols to be exact.
There were two more of the same sized racks on display and it was a very comprehensive collection indeed, along with very descriptive narratives of the different periods in Radom VIS 35 production and the variations.
Right by the Radoms was a display of Great Westerm manufactured Single Action Army revolvers:
Olympic Arms was there with an AR to suit every color preference.
They also have a new production run of the Whitney Wolverine available for sale if you want a futurist-looking .22 pistol.
Mec Gar is also here with a nice display of a magazine for all your pistol needs:
In case traffic gets bad on the way out, there's a gun jeep.

Her Nav wanted to take us to the other side of Indy then to the center. I realized that when she didn't go the way I remembered and looked at the route the Nav system had planned (40 miles? WTF?)
I improvised from my 25+ year old memories of when I lived in the City during my Party Years.
Only a 10 or 15 minute detour....and you got to see a part of Indy that few tourists ever see.....
Her Nav kept saying TURN AROUND. all the way to the damned convention. Not quite sure how she has it programmed...Take the longest possible route?
B:
No worries.
It was funny watching us pass each turnoff suggested by my GPS and phone navigation systems.
I figure your nav system just wanted to show off Indianapolis' highway system to us.
