Today Luke C (@BallisticAviation) is at NRAAM 2023 at the Heckler & Koch booth to check out the 22LR HK 416 D and MP5 rifles and pistols. HK will be releasing new color variants of both rifles (and pistols) later in 2023.

Hop is back at the FN booth for NRAAM 2023 show to talk about the new FN15 Guardian rifle. The Guardian is meant to be FN’s latest rifle offering that omits some of the more expensive components that are normally on their rifles, to give their customers a more budget-friendly option that still maintains the high quality you’ve come to expect from the FN name.

FN has finally released an optics ready, double stack micro 9mm carry gun. The new FN Reflex is available with or without an optics cut, and with an 11 round flush fit or 15 round extended magazine.

Hi-Point is the first to market with a carbine chambered in the new .30 Super Carry cartridge! @Hoplopfheil is at the NRA Annual Meeting in Indianapolis and stopped by the Hi-Point booth to check it out, and see if the Yeet Canon is delayed again…

Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by to check out our NRAAM 2022 recap. Today we’ve got on TFBTV’s Hop and TFB’s Austin to talk a bit about this year’s NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits. Austin, Hop, and I were fortunate enough to be able to go and cover the event for TFB and TFBTV and despite the controversy surrounding the event, we managed to have a great time while getting you guys the latest news and releases from the firearms world. In today’s episode, we talk about some of our favorite guns from the event, what we thought about it and how it compared to other gun conventions we’ve been to.

Palmetto State Armory unveiled their new STANAG magazine compatible AK-556 at NRAAM 2022.  The new model comes ready to accept your favorite AR-pattern magazines and is loaded with new features.  I had a chance to sit down with Palmetto State Armory to go over the new AK-556 at this year’s NRA Annual Meeting.

Trijicon unveiled their new Compact ACOG reticles at this year’s NRA Annual Meeting.  The newest TA44 1.5x models now feature an RTR .223 Reticle and RTR 9mm PCC Reticle.  Here’s all you need to know about the new compact ACOGs from Trijicon.

Part of the great thing about trade shows like NRAAM 2022 is that you get to see more than just cool guns, you also get to see lots of cool tactical gear. We stopped by the Wilder Tactical booth to check and see if there were any new products they had released for NRAAM 2022 and sure enough, they not only had their new Urban Assault magazine pouches but a prototype of their upcoming rifle/double pistol magazine pouch that is set to release sometime in the next couple of months.

The newest EDC flashlight from SureFire was featured during NRAAM 2022 with the introduction of the new SureFire EDC2-DFT flashlight. This new pocket-sized flashlight is extremely powerful (550 lumens) and features a rechargeable SureFire 18650 lithium-ion battery, an IPX7 waterproof rating, and is intended for use as a convenient everyday carry flashlight.

Manufactured Perfection, Smooth Precision. These are the hallmarks of the Pristine bolt action receiver. Released just in time for NRAAM 2022, the Pristine bolt action receiver claims to be the smoothest bolt action currently on the market and it is also multi-caliber capable meaning you can train with less expensive ammunition, and then break out the expensive stuff for your PRS match when every second under the timer counts.

Anderson Manufacturing unveiled their new AM10 Gen2 at this year’s NRAAM.  Three different variants of this new DPMS-pattern design were on display with various barrel lengths.  I sat down with representatives from Anderson to go over these three new models at NRAAM 2022.

While the TFB Team was out perusing the new offerings at NRAAM 2022, we came across the XS Sights booth. XS Sights has been gradually expanding their product offerings beyond just iron sights and they gave TFB a sneak preview of one of their newest products, a red dot compatible sight adjustment tool, set to be made available sometime in June of 2022.

Featured on TFB before, NRAAM 2022 was our first chance to get a hands-on look at the new Walther WMP pistol.  Chambered in .22 WMR, this full-size pistol comes feature-loaded right out of the box.  I had a chance to sit down with Walther at NRAAM 2022 and go over some of the features of this new pistol.

Dead Air unveiled their new Sierra-5 5.56 silencer at NRAAM 2022.  The new Sierra-5 comes from the factory with either a Xeno or Key-Mo mount.  I had a chance to get a first look at the Dead Air Sierra-5 and go over the details with the company’s owner Mike Pappas.

Colt unveiled a new .22LR target variant of the King Cobra at NRAAM 2022.  Available in both 6″ and 4″ barrel configurations, the new King Cobra Target is where rimfire meets class.  I had a chance to sit down with Colt at NRAAM 2022 to go over the details of the new King Cobra.

The National Rifle Association have announced that their  2021 Annual Meeting has been cancelled. The meeting was due to be held early next month at the George R. Brown Convention Centre in Houston, Texas.

The Gun Collective will be hosting a special live stream at this year’s NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits on Saturday, September 4th at 3pm. The TGC panel will include many of the online firearm’s industries biggest personalities including our very own James Reeves. Viewers will be able to ask questions live and have them answered by James as well as other online personalities including, Mike from Garand Thumb, Brandon Herrera (TheAKGuy), and others.

Well, this is a sight for sore eyes. The National Rifle Association announced new dates and locations for the 2021 NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits (NRAAM). The NRA Annual Meeting is usually held every year but due to concerns surrounding health and safety in 2020, the 149th annual meeting was canceled. The 150th NRAAM will take place this year between September 3-5 in Houston Texas at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Full details are below:

Another one falls to the ‘Rona. 2020 has been rife with event cancellations due to the imposition of gathering restrictions over health concerns, and we all hoped it would be long done by now, but unfortunately there doesn’t yet appear to be much light at the end of the tunnel. Already this year we’ve lost the NRA Annual Meeting, TriggrCon, Enforce Tac, the NASGW Wholesaler Expo, the Knob Creek and Big Sandy machine gun shoots, numerous competition matches, and many more. Now the NRA’s 2021 Great American Outdoor Show, which was set for February 6th-14th in Pennsylvania, is also getting the axe. They announced the cancellation with the following press release.

In light of the current Coronavirus pandemic the NRA have taken the decision to cancel the their 2020 annual meeting. The meeting had been scheduled to take place next month in Nashville, TN, between April 16th – 19th. The NRA annual meeting is one of the shooting industry’s most popular events with hundreds of exhibitors and tens of thousands of people set to attend, with this in mind the NRA have decided that in the interests of public health it is best to cancel this year’s event.

In this episode of TFBTV’s #NRAAM2019 coverage, James meets with Beretta reps to talk about the new additions to Beretta’s tactical/practical competition shooting guns. This episode looks at the Beretta 92X competition, which was built from the ground up to be a competition/tactical pistol. It comes standard with a lot of match quality features, however, most impressive is the new trigger used by the 92X Competition.

At the 2019 NRA National Meeting, Brannon LeBouef meets with the guys from Keystone Sporting Arms, most famous for their Cricket and Chipmonk line of youth model single shot .22LR rifles, about some new offers. The highlight was the new “Mini-Mosin.” This is a .22LR replica of a Mosin Nagant that uses their cricket action. They also has some new precision rifle trainers, youth .22LR hunting style rifles, as well as some proto-type chassis for Ruger 10-22. Lastly, they showed their youth model shotguns in their “My First Shotgun” line.

At the NRA Annual Meetings this past weekend, Full Conceal addressed a lot of comments from their customers by creating a lighter and more affordable version of their folding Glock, and unveiling the Full Conceal Aluminum frame. This is something that they alluded to accomplishing when we met with them at SHOT Show 2019 this past winter. Now at the NRA Show they finally had it for us to see in person.

As if Keystone Sporting Arms ( KSA) bringing their Mini Mosin Nagant youth rimfire rifle to the NRA Show would not draw enough attention, if you journeyed further into their booth you found more surprises that are not listed on their website. They will soon be unveiling a Warthog pistol chassis for people to drop 10/22 actions into. They also have been working on a single-shot shotgun that folds into a backpack. Both niche items are incredibly cool in their own right, and we will take a look at each of them.

For those who may not be up to speed with the progression of Springfield Armory’s quality within their SAINT series of AR-15s, the newest SAINT Victor iteration should provide you with a rifle that has familiar handling with many intangibles you may not notice. Springfield is not a company to rest on their laurels so while the original SAINT was received well within the firearms community the SAINT Victor ups the ante. The newest AR that was proudly on display at the NRA Annual Meetings in Indianapolis this past weekend was the SAINT Victor 308! The first .308 Winchester chambered AR produced by Springfield Armory.

I had some time to stop by and check out Gray Guns booth this weekend at NRA. Gray Guns has been making aftermarket upgrades for different handguns and recently they started making upgrades for the SIG P320 and P365 pistols. This has been increasingly popular with the John Wick movies showcasing their upgraded P365 ran by Halle Berry. I got to check out the P365 that was used in the film. It was an upgraded version with a straight trigger and Gray Guns signature laser stippling.

Trijicon released their brand new SRO optic last week. They came out with the SRO as a response to their RMR having a small field of view and limiting the shooter’s sight picture. This was one of the bigger items that people were talking about over the weekend in the industry.

If you want to stay alive, relevant, and make desirable products in the firearm industry, you need to have a pulse for what the shooter wants. EO Tech’s brand of optics, Vudu, has been punching out a lot of favorites lately in the riflescope space and they continued to add to that list with the unveiling of the EO Tech Vudu 1-8x24mm SFP (2nd Focal plane).

At the NRA Annual Meetings 2019 held in Indianapolis, Indiana this past weekend Blackhawk! introduced a new holster that will benefit civilians and law enforcement alike by requiring less finger and hand manipulations to release it with the T-Series Holster. One thing that slows everyone down in their ability to draw a firearm in self-defense is the number of steps it takes to present your weapon; thus, the longer it takes to get rounds on target. The Blackhawk! T-Series looks to improve that by utilizing the “Master Grip Principle” to the fullest.

Bushnell has launched a NEW little red dot that looks to be small, intuitive, and easy-to-use for rifles or pistols. This new offering was on proud display at the NRA Annual Meetings 2019 in Indianapolis, Indiana this past weekend. This NEW red dot has been dubbed the Advance Micro Reflex Sight. This small red dot fits on handguns that accept optic plates and could potentially be placed on a rifle or shotgun with a rail as well.
