Hey Hey guys. I am sooo excited, will be leaving for Las Vegas to attend the 2011 Shot Show convention. It is the largest annual firearms convention open to Firearms Dealers, and other buyers. I will be attending as Internet Press. Will have access to the media room and the latest releases. My goal is to update this "blog" with anything cool I witness, as well as visit the booths by popular requests.

 

Not sure how much of the show I will be able to attend, however the ones for sure will be the following booths:

 

Smith Wesson

Sig

Hk

 

 

What else do you guys want to see, ask, hear?

 

The official website is http://www.shotshow.org/ where you can see who all is going to be there.

If you see any nice night sights for a Px4 Storm under $80, LMK

New products for sure. More info on the Keltec shotgun. Rumors of a Glock carbine? Anything new from Magpul or thier theory lineup.

the last trade show (not gun related) i attended, the reps didn't wanna pack up and bring any stuff back so on the last day they gave away stuff and sold a bunch of stuff at a huge discount. I wonder if they'll do the same at shot show.

The VLTOR Bren Ten should be there. Please try to get a few pics. I have one on order and would like to know it's not vaporware.

Thanks.

Have a great time.

Not sure about the pics as photography is prohibited... Will see if my press pass lets me get around that.

Definately would like more on the new Keltec shotgun, and if theres anything new coming from Magpul. I also heard rumors about a new fixed stock from Vltor (but cant remember where I heard it at)

Not sure about the pics as photography is prohibited... Will see if my press pass lets me get around that.

 

Yeah, that stinks, I noticed that a few nights ago in the media kit that came. One less bag to pack for me now! no cameras!! I wonder if Cell phone pics count ??

1911.org always takes pics.. see what is going on in the 1911 world..

Not sure about the pics as photography is prohibited... Will see if my press pass lets me get around that.

 

Really? WTF isn't that one of the purposes of a trade show, to get exposure for your products, get them into the hands of people that are tied directly to your consumers and allow those consumers to not only learn more about your products but from a reliable source the consumer trusts? A no photography policy seems like it would bite that whole process is the a**... I look forward to pics from the shot show every year, now I suddenly find myself not caring about it...

Looks like you are good...

 

SHOT Show Attendance Rules

 

NO Photography – STRICTLY ENFORCED! Photography or video recording at the show is prohibited except by those with valid media badges or other authorized individuals. Surveillance equipment is in use 24/7.

STI/SVI stuff. And a few pics of Billy. Have fun enjoy the hurricane that is B.S.

Pointers:

First grab a badge holder. The soft ones with pockets are best.

Then grab a fabric bag with handles for your catalogs and pamphlets.

The pins are nice if you're into that.

Don't try and do the whole show in one day.

If your last day that you leave is on a week day, mail your catalogs back.

Magpul 15 round magazine

Kel-Tec KSG

Sig P290

Ruger LC9

Any new Rohrbaugh products

Any new Maglula products
