There is an annual three day show each year with the location moving from year to year to allow the different members to attend. In years past the show has been in cities like Atlanta; Houston; St. Louis; Hartford; Orange County, CA; Dallas, Portland, San Francisco, Reston, Saint Paul, Austin, Tampa, Kansas City and Louisville to name just a few. The event is as much a social weekend as it is a gun show. The show itself is some 185 trade tables of which 40 are display tables.
The show weekend is like none you have
ever experienced. First, this is an ALL COLT SHOW ONLY. No other weapons are
allowed on the tables except for Colt items. There will be guns at this show that may have
never been seen before or collections that have taken a lifetime to build and, in some
cases, several generations. Historic guns from the Civil War; guns presented by Colonel
Samuel Colt; guns that date back as far as 1837 or as new as the 2007's. As our show
locations change, so do the magnificent displays, allowing many of our members to show
their collections.
All weekend long there are sight-seeing and shopping trips going on for those who attend the show but do not actively collect firearms themselves.
