This time, it’s the largest industry Range day on the East coast that is open to the public. The PSA Gathering makes up for a lightly attended SHOT Show with a huge collection of new products set up for “try it, you may like it” demonstrations. Plus, the story of an ultra-rare 1911 from WWII that came home from the war to surprise one family with a six-figure value. And then dogs doing charity work in Alabama. The Adventure Retrievers put on a show for a charity pheasant hunt.
The Gathering
In one way or another we have all been affected by the Covid 19 pandemic; one of the major industry impacts came in the form of the cancellation of the 2021 Shot Show. That is when Palmetto State Armory created their own industry range day called the Gathering. It was a walk-off home run and for 2022, they’ve done it again. And this year the Gathering is bigger and better.
Car collectors dream of discovering a barn find an old and forgotten Cobra or Ferrari that’s worth huge dollars. That can also happen for gun collectors, the discovery of the actual value of an old family heirloom. That’s the case of one rare 1911 that is now one of History’s Guns.
