In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at IWA 2022 to visit manufacturers and preview their new products. Bul Armory – a well-known 1911 manufacturer – is now producing a striker-fired polymer-framed “Glock type” pistol with much Glock part compatibility: The Axe series. Bul Axe will have three models to start – a basic model, the Cleaver (which still has the 3.5lb match trigger, extended controls, and beveled magazine wells as standard), the Hatchet, which has more slide machining and a PVD coated slide, and the Tomahawk, a match ready gun with lightening cuts in the slide, a fluted barrel, and optic compatibility. To start, 15 round and 17 round magazine frames will be available.

People that enjoy travelling, visiting exhibitions and shooting competitions (I’m one of them) are having a hard time. Not to mention airlines, hotels, taxis and everyone who caters for all the travellers. Just imagine the mountain of sausages and the lake of beer that gets served during one of the large exhibitions in Germany.

Trade Shows and the Coronavirus don’t go well together, and it’s safe to say that the life of a trade show organizer has been stressful during 2020. Those who follow us know that the German IWA OutdoorClassics & ENFORCE TAC 2020 exhibitions were postponed due to Coronavirus concerns only to be rescheduled and finally postponed until 2021. The latest show to be cancelled is the US’ premier trade show SHOT Show.

Europe’s IWA OutdoorClassics trade show has rescheduled again. Originally slated to take place last month it had been postponed until September 2020 but this years show has now effectively been cancelled.

Following the postponement of the 2020 IWA OutdoorClassics and Enforcetac trade shows, due to fears surrounding the Coronavirus outbreaks, the shows’ organisers have announced the rescheduling of the show for September 2020.

IWA OutdoorClassics 2020, Europe’s largest outdoor and firearms trade fair, has been postponed. The event was due to take place on 6-9 March, at the NürnbergMesse convention centre in Nuremberg, Germany. ENFORCE TAC, a defence and security trade show which preceeds IWA OutdoorClassics (on 4-6 March), has also been postponed. Although the announcement states the events will be rescheduled to later this year, there is no update on when this may be.

During the days of IWA 2019, the French manufacturer Chapuis Armes revealed on their Facebook page that Beretta Holding Group had just become their majority shareholder.
