MAC Shows

MAC Shows has been the community hub for gun and knife enthusiasts across the Midwest and beyond since the early 2000s. They operate a regular calendar of events in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Las Vegas, giving shooters and collectors multiple opportunities each year to browse, buy, sell, and trade.

• •Diverse Exhibits: Historical collectibles, modern tactical gear, knives, ammunition, and firearms from established brands and local vendors
• •Expert Vendors: Knowledgeable dealers and craftspeople who know their inventory
• •Family-Friendly Atmosphere: Events designed for everyone from kids to serious collectors
• •Educational Opportunities: Workshops, demonstrations, and presentations at shows

MAC Shows has built a reputation on creating community gatherings—not just transactions. The emphasis is on connecting like-minded people, learning from vendors, and discovering both rare collectibles and practical gear in one place.

Their vendor network spans from established firearms manufacturers to local artisans, meaning inventory varies by show. Whether you're building a collection, looking for tactical equipment, or hunting for a specific knife, the rotating cast of vendors keeps each show fresh.

MAC Shows actively recruits vendors of all sizes. If you're an FFL dealer, ammunition supplier, or firearms accessory maker, they offer booth space to reach their passionate audience. Details available through their exhibitor program.

Beyond buying and selling, MAC Shows publishes a regular blog covering firearm safety, collecting tips, restoration vs. preservation for antique guns, survival knives, and holiday gift guides for shooters. This educational angle sets them apart from generic gun show operators.
