#ShotShow

We all know that STI International has some outrageous pistols (we mean that as a compliment, by the way) because not only are their firearms spooky accurate, but they have futuristic looks that could kill. All of this was dialed up a notch at SHOT Show 2019 when they introduced 3 new models including the overwhelming crowd favorite “John Wick” gun. STI had on hand the exact pistol used in filming the John Wick: Chapter 3 movie coming out this May. As a result, it drew a lot of buzz to their booth, but first let’s check out the other 2 new models introduced.

There’s a few “AR-15 style” shotguns floating around on the market, to be honest most of them are pretty forgettable. A few years ago Adam wrote a post about a pretty interesting looking AR based shotgun called the Typhoon F12. The post said the Typhoon F12 shotgun was in the process of being produced, well they’re finally here in the United States and are available to purchase.

Mesa Tactical is known for their tactical shotgun accessories for both range enthusiasts and law enforcement, and they expanded on that at SHOT Show 2019. They are now offering an M-LOK forend for the highly popular Benelli M4. This definitely fills a void by allowing shooters to more easily add accessories such as grips and flashlights to their duty or defense shotgun.

It was on Tuesday, January 22nd that  The Firearm Blog broke the news of a NEW Boyds At-One Adjustable Thumbhole stock. The Press Release directly from Boyds clued us all in on the new gun stocks that would be immediately available for 2019, but it is always better to check them out in person… So we did! We headed over to the Boyds booth at SHOT Show and handled some of the At-One stocks for ourselves.

Alien Gear has had their Shapeshift Modular Holster System out for some time now. In fact, our esteemed Editor in Chief, Tom, reviewed their ankle holster after using it for work for roughly 4 months with positive feedback. With the ability to seamlessly transition from Outside-the-Waistband (OWB) to Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) to Ankle and other positions of carry, it is no wonder why this is such a popular option from Alien Gear Holsters. While Alien Gear did not unveil a flurry of new holsters at SHOT Show 2019 they did bring us even more options through their Shapeshift Modular Holster System with a NEW Core Carry and Expansion Pack.

Dead Air Armament is known for their small, but impressive portfolio of silencers and they were in attendance at SHOT Show 2019. While they did not have any new silencers for us at this show, they did unveil some new accessories. The most notable one was their New E BRAKE or blast diverter.

The Glock 19X was one of the big announcements at SHOT Show last year. In case you’ve been living under a 1911, the Glock 19X is essentially a Glock 17 frame with a Glock 19 slide. Whether you’re a fan of the new crossover Glock or not, they have been selling very well. If you’re someone who is into building 80% frames, good news! The folks over at the GlockStore just released their new Glock 19X 80% frame at SHOT Show 2019.

Over the past few years a bunch of companies have been releasing parts to build Roland Special Glocks, what’s that? It’s what all the gun fighters are building these days. RMR cut slides, threaded barrels and flared magwells. Well that trend has moved onto other pistols, even the 1911 is getting in on the action. Ed Brown and ZEV Technologies teamed up to produce something similar with their new line of premium custom 1911s.

It was only a couple days ago that Winchester announced the introduction of an entirely new caliber for hunters and shooters with the .350 Legend cartridge. We were right on the ball catching this news, but there is something we missed (or Winchester told a white lie). At the time of the release of the .350 Legend on January 21st, Winchester stated that they were the only manufacturer to have a firearm chambered in this round with their XPR bolt-action rifle. Well, it turns out that CMMG has been working in conjunction with Winchester for some time. They have their Resolute AR-15 in a Burnt Bronze chambered in .350 Legend which hails from their 300-Series.

Beginning in March this year, Full Conceal will be shipping their very own complete Glock aluminum lower. This will be an in-house product and afford shooters to take the Gen3, Gen4, or Gen5 Upper Slide Assemblies they already own and create a Full Conceal folding Glock pistol of their own.  This New complete aluminum Glock lower from Full Conceal is called the M3D AL.

SOG Knives & Tools was in attendance at SHOT Show 2019, and they had quite the assortment of blades to show off for the 1st time! Everything from fixed blades to frame locks to multi-tools were on display for fondling and future purchasing. We’ll try to give you a short and concise rundown of everything new they had on display.

Davidsons distributor has always been known for providing the firearms industry with some of the most attractive, early-release, and creative guns we have ever seen and 2019 is going to be no different! They were in attendance at SHOT Show and we made sure to swing by their booth and get the scoop on the latest and greatest Exclusives they have to offer for the new year. Let’s take a stroll through all of the New, Exclusive handguns they will have that you cannot get anywhere else!

Global Ordnance is a company known throughout the world for sourcing and providing arms and munitions to government and law enforcement entities. At SHOT Show 2019 they brought with them something I mis-identified as an energy drink, and boy was I wrong! They have a new, creative way of selling ammunition in a sealed pop can they are dubbing CanMunition.

Here’s something I stumbled upon at SHOT Show 2019 that’s not AR-15 related. The folks over at Acu Tek Arms just released their AK bull barrel and improved assembly. There’s actually been a couple cool new AK related products at SHOT Show this year. There’s the Armamentos .22LR AK Conversion Kit, Krebs Custom 9×39 AK-9 Pistol Prototype and the Kalashnikov USA KR-9.

Crimson Trace brought an absolute haul of goods to SHOT Show’s “Industry Day at the Range” because they could be found in multiple shooting bays and on other firearm manufacturer’s products. This covered everything from their NEW Lasersaddle made for the Mossberg Shockwave, their new series of riflescopes, and even their red dots. It was a lot to take in, but we tried to visit them all (and shoot as much ammunition as possible through them). Let’s take a look!
