Columbia Gun & Knife Show 2026 — Jamil Shrine Temple

The Columbia Gun & Knife Show returns to the Jamil Shrine Temple on November 14-15, 2026, bringing together collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts from across South Carolina. Organized by the South Carolina Arms Collectors Association (SCACA), this long-running exhibition dates back to 1963 and showcases firearms, combat knives, swords, antique pistols, cartridges, camouflage gear, hunting accessories, and self-defense equipment. Widely attended by both trade professionals and the general public, the show is a hub for buying, selling, and trading collectible and modern arms. Vendors include gunsmiths and specialists who can offer value estimates, repairs, and expert advice on historical and contemporary weapons. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for military with valid ID, and free for children 12 and under when accompanied by an adult. Cash is recommended since not all vendors accept cards. No loaded weapons are permitted, and all firearms brought in must be unloaded and zip-tied on arrival. Proceeds from the exhibition support the SCACA Scholarship Program, which funds college tuition and grants for young shooting sports participants.
