I guess it depends on what you collect. For me I don't really find much at shows here. The best chance I would have is at the Baltimore show. Almost everything I buy I find online, and primarily at auctions in Europe.
I just went to the Birmingham Antique Arms Fair a week ago and it was pretty good. I would definitely go there again if I were ever in the UK at the time.
I still like the Baltimore show.
The TGCA shows are getting better and better and bigger again but still 75% Colt and Winchester.
The Indian Territory Antique And Collector Arms Show is pretty good.
20% of Tulsa is decent and that 20% is still bigger than most other shows. For me it is not a must-go-to-show though.
Vegas is only ok.
I have been enjoying the American Society of Arms Collectors shows.
And a couple of the Civil War shows like Ohio and Middle Tennessee specifically are decent for even non-Civil-War-related antique guns.
