Maks, go back to the sig booth and check out the chassis for the Blazer 338LM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My opinions are with Maks but I liked the lc9. I thought out of all the sub compact 9mm's coming out, it was the best. The Kimber Solo was nice but I like the uger better.

 

Glock has a new back strp for gen 4's that has a beavertail built in and suppose to be angled like 1911's.

 

The Sig 210's are gonna be at least $2k and that's if you can get one. Also heard there will be a 38 super caliber in their 1911 line soon (think at least summer 2011, if not later).

MAGPUL!!!!

MAGPUL!!!!

 

We should see Magpul tomorrow, didn't hit the tactical section yet. This show is HUGE, waay bigger than I expected.

Thanks Guys, besides the fact that we all hate you , you are doing a good job of keeping us informed. How is Tony doing at the poker tables, I heard he cleaned house at New Years?

I also had time to go ober more that I got out of yesterday.

 

Slide and mag change for the Sig 229.

 

They are changing the slide profile to be more like the p228 or 226. Now has full slide serations for more grab on the slide. The slide is still stainless steel though. They are also changing the mag's to be more like Mec Gar's which supplied 15 rounds instead of 13 rounds. Mec Gar already is the oem mag maker for Sig on most of their line up.

 

 

Nothing. Other than they will be coming out in Spring. Spring could end up being summer also.

 

They are on the price sheet, so they will be out this year.

I like the sound of that M&P 22 and the Walther PPQ.

 

Nothing from Beretta or Magpul yet?

I hate to shitt on anyone's parade (especially since I want that gun too), but Keltec is known for taking a loooooong time to bring guns to production.

Cool. I'll bet it costs 1/2 the Beretta Storm Carbine price.

If it takes Glock mags then they have a hit!

I guess I'll also have to wait for someone to test the waters...because there's LEGAL, and then there's NEW JERSEY LEGAL. There might be something to that shotgun that we're overlooking which will make it banned here in this fine state of ours.

Need pricing info on that Taurus Carbine.

Haven't found anyone selling magazines here at the show, mostly small items for sale, cleaning supplies, hats that sort of stuff.

The new carbine from taurus.

 

Now that is something nice.

Was at CZ today and met some fellas from the CZ custom shop. Man was there some nice pieces there. Maks and I met up with Blake and Ian from Top Shot and got some pics.

 

Most of the day we just perused and didn't see much of anything noteworthy, at least not IMO>

Ok, time for updates part two.

 

This time, actually made it to the press room and I have a working internet connection.

 

Quick offshoot. Ran into Blake, Ian and Denny from Top Shot. Blake was around, Ian was pimping for Crimson Trace and Denny for another company dealing with revolvers.

 

Show is really big.

 

Some highlights.

 

Kriss Vector. New model is in the works that is even smaller. They are currently working on a 9mm and a 40SW version which will be out soon. Also, they are now the distributor for Sphinx swiss guns. Some really great stuff.

 

Hk - nothing new. Big display. They had featured Todd Green's torture tested guns, the P30 with 96k rounds, and the Hk 45 with 50k rounds. They went an average of 5k and 10k rounds between cleanings respectively. The more and more I think about it, I am quite impressed with the Hk P30L. It is an absolutely an awesome gun, with great ergos.

 

Keltec - The shotty was the main attraction here. It was very well balanced and lightweight. Easy to take apart. It will feed up to 2.75" shells, and will fire 3" in single shot mode, direct feeding. MSRP of $800 or so. Out in 3rd quarter. There is talk that there may be tubes that extend beyond the 7 in each now.

 

CZ - Really like CZ more and more. It is just amazing how CZ has come into its own. Its booth was packed. Just an FYI... the CZ 75's, the original ones, do take the CZ 75B mags. So there are no issues buying the originals on Wideners or wherever they were. It makes a difference for pre-ban or post ban mags in states where it matters.

 

Accuracy International - AX338, awesome freaking rifle.

 

Sig Blaser 338. I did see it yesterday, it is fantastic, what can I say?

 

LMT - Had a long discussion with LMT and for all the guys who are considering getting the 7.62x39 and other conversions.... THERE ARE NO GOOD MAGS OUT THERE THAT FEED RELIABLY ANYTHING PAST 5 ROUNDS. So buyer beware.

 

US Optics - Saw the 1-4.5 scope with the illuminated reticles. Absolutely amazing quality of glass. Far and above beyond anything Leupold can make.

 

TimberSmith - These caught me off guard, they had some stocks for the SKS's, that were just gorgeous. Check them out.

 

Accessories.... galore. The LE and Tactical section have more accessories that anyone can think of.

 

And yes... there was beef jerky.

 

As far as buying stuff, you cannot at this show really, it is mostly to meet contacts and see the stuff.

Forgot... Sidenote... Ammo.

 

There is Tula and there is Wolf.... They are both around.

 

I spoke with some Russians from Russia who work for the plant and they confirmed... it is all THE EXACT SAME THING, just a difference in who or what brand they import it under. Wolf Military, that new ammo with brass cased, Wolf black box are all the exact same thing. Wolf Gold is made by Prvi.

Some pics. Sorry for some being crappy quality.
