Man, I'd skip that show unless you really want to go and can't wait until next year. The show before Xmas is always jam packed. Unless you like being treated like cattle at the slaughterhouse, I'd wait until March's show. Back in the day VF used to be tolerable because they had two full floors in the VFCC. You could browse with ease even with large numbers in attendance because they had plenty of space and the aisles were quite wide. Those days are long gone.
Is it best practice to ask the owner if he minds?

I've always wanted to get a pre-lock S&W 629 Classic with a 4" barrel for bear country but I've not found a good (concealed) carry solution. In all my travels through bear country I've not seen one person open-carrying, even though it is legal in many states. Someone needs to make a quick-access panel on hiking backpacks for bear guns ....
I think that weighs about the same as my 329 Night Guard (w/ 2" barrel) - a very nice shooter for .44 Special. I imagine a hot magnum load would be brutal, but hopefully wouldn't be necessary too often.
Yeah, just started looking at the Body Guard last night. I'll add that to the list. Looks like it can be had for $500, making it the cheapest option of all if I want the laser (which I am strongly leaning toward.) Anyone feel that the laser isn't worth the cost?
Always THIS!
Thanks
What's standard protocol for dry firing a gun you're looking at in a store? Is it ok for some and not others (ok for centerfire but not rimfire?)? Is it best practice to ask the owner if he minds?
Mernickle makes a cross draw field carry holster that should work for you. I use one for a 4 5/8 inch barreled Ruger Blackhawk under a coat and it works well. Personally if it's an open carry area that's exactly what I do. It just makes sense from a speed standpoint.
One thing I'm not sure about re: the bodyguard is that the laser isn't integrated into the grip, which means there's an extra action required to activate it. Not sure how intuitive that would be.
Dcg, I wasn't aware the laser lacked the ability to be accuated in a more intuitive manner, I figured it could be activated similar to a Crimson Trace. I would probably not deem it worth the extra consideration (if a laser was the deciding factor). See what'savailable, there really are some great choices out there.
