SHOT Show is Over! Here is the complete round up of posts from the show.
This was definitely one of the better SHOT Shows I have been to. With demand for guns at a low (and will remain so for the next 18 months until the election cycle with all its drama takes hold), I had not expected so many new gun designs. The TFB team, a total of 12 writers […]

Dry Film Lubricant from Sentry Solutions
In most of the booths I visited I expected to just have a brief meet and greet, get shown a couple of new products, take a few pics, and be on my way. That was not the case at Sentry Solutions. I was invited into the booth and got to sit at an actual table […]

MSBS “Radon” Rifle: US Launch & Impressions
On this last day of the SHOT Show, I took a detour downstairs to see our friends at Fabryka Broni of the Bumar Group. I covered their MSBS (Polish for “Modular Weapon System” – alternately called “Radon” according to the Polish element naming scheme and not to be confused with Radom, the home of Fabryka Broni) rifle on […]

Slide Lock Ambidextrous Charging Handle by Mega
AR charging handles have always seemed overly-complicated and costly to me. So the new Slide Lock from Mega seems like a great idea. It is constructed of 7075 billet aluminum and is type III hard coat anodized. The capture latch is black nitrate coated for corrosion resistance. It dispenses with the lever completely, simply using […]

Shield CQS Relex Sight
So you want to join the British 22nd S.A.S. Regiment. Then you had better become very familiar with the Shield CQS (Close Quarter Sight). This is one of the primary sights used by the S.A.S., and after examining the features of the CQS I can understand their affection. Shield advertises the CQS as the “smallest, lightest, […]

SHOT Show 2015: Les Baer’s New Products
Les Baer had a good representation of their line at shot. And while there were about two dozen of Les Baer’s esteemed 1911s at the event, the people at Les Baer wanted to remind you that they are pushing a premium product, so those couple dozen guns were housed under a massive structure emblazoned with Les […]

Colt Producing New Model 1903 Pistols
Yes, Colt will be making brand new-production Model 1903 pocket pistols. The same man responsible for making Colt’s reproduction Gatling guns has been put in charge of producing a limited new run of the classic elegant pocket pistol, the Colt 1903. That’s the good news – the bad news is that it will only be […]

ELCAN and Tenebraex optical products – SHOT Show Optic Preview
Tenebraex bumper shell for the Trijicon RMR mini reflex sight. The Killflash ARD (anti reflection device) filter is embedded into the unit. I really like the integrated design. Tenebraex Killflash ARD filters for Trijicon ACOG without filter thread. The patented rubber ring design holds the Killflash securely in place. Tenebraex lens thread size step-up […]

M+M Industries M10X AK
Lots of people make add-ons for the AK, but I was actually rather taken aback by the M10X rifle being announced by M+M Industries (at the time of this writing, there is nothing about the new rifle on their web site) at SHOT this year. They really have done something different, and it looks both […]

Christie’s Products Mag Loaders and 10/22 Customization Parts
We had previously highlighted Christie’s Mag Loaders at SHOT 2013. They were on my list to visit this year, and I was pleasantly surprised about their products. I have been using the Lula for a while, and like it a lot, but the Christie’s loaders win out in sheer toughness, simplicity and cost. New this year […]

XS Sight Systems Glass Assault Tool
I stopped at the XS Sight Systems booth at SHOT and found a number of products that were interesting, so I chose my top two: The Glass Assault Tool “The GAT will allow the operator to rapidly and effortlessly breach glass and gain access to high-risk environments while keeping both hand so the primary weapon platform […]

Griffin Armament Revolution Suppressors
Griffin Armament showed the new Revolution suppressors at the SHOT Show. The suppressors are available for both 9mm and .45 ACP calibers. These suppressors are adjustable length cans. The longer it is, the more noise attenuation it offers. For example, in the 9mm, the shortest length offers 29.5 dB of suppression while the longest offers […]

Tacprogear at SHOT
I swung by the Tacprogear booth at SHOT a couple times to take a look at their packs and Black series of products. They were fairly busy, but I was still able to get some pictures for you guys. Among SHOT offerings were a variety of vests, plate carriers, helmets, and assault packs. It was […]

X-Products 9mm Drum Mags
X-Products is making a 50 rd drum for colt magazine ARs. They are also going to make a 50 rd drum for 9mm ARs that use glock magazines. For a third product they are making a 32 rd drum magazine for Glock pistols. This seems overly complicated and unnecessary when Glock already as a 33 […]
