#ShotShow

Meprolight describe their new Foresight optic as a Innovative Augmented Sight. But what does that mean? Externally, it doesn’t look much different from Meprolight’s other red dot sights like the M5 Pro, but internally the hard and software is very different. The Mepro Foresight boasts the a number of features that stand out in the red dot market. It offers an almost computer game-like heads up display.

Stopping by Kahr’s booth to check out new 6-shot cylinder BFR revolvers from Magnum Research, I instead was sidetracked by a few things – a massive, 17.5 inch barrelled .45-70 revolver from Magnum Research’s custom shop, and multiple Trump-themed firearms.

We at TFB have been excited about the MDP-9 ever since Angstadt Arms set the hype train rolling with a promo video promising a new pistol calibre carbine. That gun, the MDP-9, was officially announced just before SHOT Show so it was great to get hands on with the gun and put a few rounds through it.

At SHOT 2020, Magpul has a few new wares to show off.  First off is their new Hunter Stock for Savage 110 Short actions, both in left and right hand versions.  The stocks are comparable with The PMAG 7.62 AC magazines, and come with one 5 rounder.  The barrel channel can accommodate all the way up to heavy Palma profiles.  An even more exciting stock is their new PC Backpacker Stock for the Ruger PC Carbine.  The show floor model worked very well, and the stock does a fine job of protecting the chamber of the rifle when disassembled.

At range day at this year’s SHOT Show I ran into Wilkinson Tactical, a veteran-run company based in Wyoming, that specialises in shotguns – AR platform-based shotguns to be exact. Their CR12 is a box-magazine fed 12 gauge shotgun with parts compatibility with other AR-platform guns.

A few weeks ago we posted about the new 20/20 Glock Stabilizer Kit and Brace from Recover Tactical. Their new brace is compatible with over forty 9mm and 40SW Glock models with a rail. The brace kit also fits officially licensed airsoft Glock pistols from Umarex and Cybergun. Well at SHOT Show 2020 Recover Tactical also debuted their new Glock charging handle and holster for the 20/20 brace.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves talks about B&T’s newest Glock-mag fed submachinegun/pistol caliber carbine – the APC in 10mm. The APC is now famous as the first submachinegun ordered by the US Army since World War 2.

We had the pleasure of attending SIG Sauer’s SHOT Show pre-range day, and check out some of their recent new offerings ranging from the P365 SAS all the way up to the MG 338. There’s something for everyone at the range day and we certainly enjoyed working our way along the firing line. Let’s take a look at some of the products SIG brought out.

On the pre-range day of SHOT Show 2020, I had a chance to visit the Arsenal booth and take a look at their new AK-20 series of rifles. Retaining the good ol’ time-proven AK mechanism, these rifles offer a lot of improvements that are added to make them capable of providing features that we demand from modern firearms.

SHOT Show is massive. Last year roughly 2,400 exhibitors showed up to cover 700,000 square feet of space (that equals about 12 football fields) at Las Vegas’ Sands Expo and Convention Center. They set up shop over approximately 12 miles of booth aisles and hauled in more than 7 million pounds of goods, including 15,000 firearms of all shapes and sizes. What draws so much attention every year? It’s the $8 billion firearms industry’s diehard fans and ambassadors attending this convention from all over the world – upwards of 60,000 such attendees in 2019! When you bring that many people into close proximity, one inexorable consequence is the spread of communicable disease.

Now that most of the SHOT Show hype has subsided, I wanted to post about a few products at the show that I found interesting. Most, if not all, the products below were found in the “basement” halls. Those are the halls on the lower floor where smaller and up-and-coming companies have their booths. You can really find some gems down there, as well as lots of stuff that’s pretty meh. The main hall at the show is where all the big boys are found, Glock, Sig Sauer, HK, Smith & Wesson etc. That’s where most of the popular products that get all the YouTube and blog hits are, but I like to explore and see what else the SHOT Show has to offer.

Thieves steal things. It is an unfortunate consequence of opportunity and greed. During last month’s SHOT Show, two guys managed to steal 65 guns from the show floor.

It seems like a bunch of companies debuted their own version of a Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) at SHOT Show 2019. Check out our Top 5 new SMG / PCC list from SHOT 2019. There was seriously a lot of them this year. Well the folks over at Tippmann Armory didn’t debut a new PCC, they showed off something even better then some tacticool operator toy.

In TFBTV’s continual coverage of SHOT Show 2019, Brannon visits with Tim from KRISS at Range Day, to talk about their new folding adaptor, some upgrades to the Vector series, and some new EXTENDO magazines for their 9mm and 10mm guns.
