SHOT show 2015

[Klingon00]

I thought it might be fun to have a discussion about new product announcements at SHOT show this year. Is there anything anyone is hoping for? Anything anyone is excited about?

For me, about the only exciting announcement so far has been Magpul's entry into the Glock magazine arena.

The PMAG 17 GL9 is a 17 round Glock 9mm handgun magazine featuring a new proprietary all-polymer construction for flawless reliability and durability over thousands of rounds. High visibility anti-tilt follower, SS spring, easily removable floorplate for cleaning, Dot matrix for mag marking, ridged floorplate edges for better grip, 17rd indicator windows. Drops free loaded or unloaded. The same boring reliability you expect from an OEM magazine. MSRP $15.95 - See more at: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015 ... lOnoq.dpuf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Of course it wouldn't be SHOT show without the bizarre and ridiculous.

It’s heavy at around 9 pounds empty. It’s expensive for a pump, with a retail price over $1,300. It’s got an awkward cheekpiece and a fairly unforgiving buttstock. It’s a Cheaper than Dirt exclusive. And it has a trigger pull that’s hard enough to make you think the safety is still on for a second.

I'm sure jokes on the name alone will be priceless. This "tactical" shotgun escalation war reminds me of the silly evolution of lightsaber complexity in Star Wars movies over the years.

I'm excited about the Surefire XC1:

I asked James of XDman.com to take a peek over at their stand at SHOT, to give me his opinions of the switchgear, and to see if he can't mount it to some XD-platform guns for me to get a good idea of what it would look like on mine.

Truth be told, I'll probably get one right off the bat, but I'll likely then wait until the second/third generation model to come out - hopefully with a green laser to supplement the light.

I agree about the Magpul Glock mags. I was also hoping to see the G43 single stack, maybe next year.

I'm excited about the Surefire XC1:

That does look neat. It's size and I'm guessing weight will be a big improvement over other designs. Any idea on the price?

Of course when it comes to surefire, if you've got to ask the price then you probably can't afford it.

I honestly have no idea. I haven't even seen an MSRP.

[TSiWRX]

Oh, I'm also really diggin' the way the Crye Precision shotgun looks mounted "Masterkey" style.

[BobK]

I hope Quack provides one of his SHOT show updates.

^ You know, I don't know that he's there this year?

I was wondering that myself as I've been looking through SMGLee's picture thread on M4C.

[Mr. Glock]

All I want to know is when is Glock making a single stack 9mm out of their 380. That's it.

How come "Mr. Glock" doesn't already know that?

What I saw introduced by them at SHOT (on another gun forum) was a long slide 10mm (Model 40 I think?), and some of the longer barreled models now being available with optics-ready slide cuts. May have been one more thing but it must have really not caught my interest, forgot already.

Hard to get excited as a left hander...too much sticks out on the right and side of this for a two eyes open shooter.

If only they could produce them fast enough to keep up with demand
