2009 Tulsa Arms Show – November 14 & 15, 2009

This is a first for USA Travel Guide. We’ve never covered a gun show before. So, we’re entering the fray on the right foot with the biggest and best gun show on the planet: the Wanenmacher’s Tulsa Arms Show.

Picture it: 4,000 tables and 11 acres of high-quality hardware brought in from amateur and professional vendors the world-over. They come here, because there’s no bigger audience of serious gun enthusiasts, buyers and collectors anywhere else in the country.

The Tulsa Arms Show prides itself on doing it right, something that long-time owner and manager Jon Wanenmacher sees to personally. What does that mean? That means, to put it as smartly as they do, no garbage! No toys, candy, food items, nutritional products, handbags, makeup, hair products, accessories, clothes, t-shirts, bumper stickers, license plates, flowers or “flea market junk”. Just top quality antique and collectable guns, knives and related accessories.

So that’s what you won’t see. What about what you will?

A veritable buffet for discerning collectors, the Tulsa Arms Show eliminates the time sink of small weekend shows with one massive affair. Because the audience is so big, serious sellers are willing to bring out their prized product, including super-rare and oft expensive Henry repeaters.

While collectables and antiques are surely the star of this mega-show, modern tech is on hand as well, and big numbers breeds big competitions, and that means reasonable prices for buyers. Basically, if it’s legal, they’ve got it at the Tulsa Arms Show.

The show takes place at the QuikTrip Center at the Tulsa Fairgrounds. Additional facilities include concessions, food court and ample parking (with shuttle) so that it’s never really a hassle.

The 2009 Tulsa Arms Show will run in Tulsa, Oklahoma on November 14 and 15. Regular adult admission is just $10, and that’s not bad at all. Learn more.

One of our favorite Tulsa hotels is also one of the official hotels of the Tulsa Arms Show. Head to the Hilton Tulsa Southern Hills and tell’em it’s for the show to receive a great nightly rate with discount at the restaurant and free parking. You have to tell them!

Have fun!
