More New Products From SHOT Show
Concealment guns and beautiful new rifles.
The cool thing, well, one cool thing among many about SHOT Show, is that it is not open to the general public. It is the largest trade show of its kind in the world and you must be either a media member, retailer, wholesaler, or manufacturer in order to get access. Many new products are released there, but the general public only sees them when they reach the retailer’s shelves during the course of the year.
The advertisement that I heard while there said it was the equivalent of 13 acres of exhibits. So yeah, even if you really tried, you would not be able to see everything if you just have one week there. We had only two days, and not even two full days. Still, we found some cool new stuff, and here it is.
Full Conceal Glock 17 Conversion Kit
This kit sold by Full Conceal lets you transform your Glock 17 into a pocket-size model with a high-capacity magazine. You can purchase the kit, which reduces the overall height of a gun, or you can purchase the company’s lower receiver that fits all Glock factory parts. Other products have a folding trigger that allows the magazine to store vertically into the pistol grip. When the M2 is kitted out, it’s about the size and shape of a cell phone in the pocket.
New Beretta Guns
Beretta introduced 3 new handguns and 7 new rifles at SHOT Show. These SHOT Show introductions are on their website here. The PX4 Storm is lightweight and hammer fired.
New Glock 42 and 43 Holsters
Safariland added new concealment holsters for the Glock 42 and 43 pistols, including models with the popular ALS lock. Info about the new holsters wasn’t yet on their site as of today.
Weatherby Camilla Rifle
This beautiful rifle is named after Camilla, Roy Weatherby’s wife. IT’s the company’s first woman’s bolt-action rifle. It’s light and sleek. Find out more at Weatherby.com.
Sig Sauer 716 DMR G2
DMR stands for designated marksman rifle, so this is for people who really value accuracy. It’s 3 pounds lighter than the company’s first-generation model. They accomplish that weight loss by shaving 2 inches off the original 18-inch barrel, among other things. Learn more at SigSauer.com.
