SHOT Show may have concluded, but I have prepared a few pictures for you guys along with some captions to give you an idea of what this event is all about. TFB went to range day and the convention, and I’d like to give you all a small insight into this [Read More…]
One of the cool things about SHOT is that you have the opportunity to see a bunch of competing products in the same category all in the same venue with the actual reps. Gunzilla was one of several “cleaning” product vendors, and was on my list. Gunzilla has [Read More…]
Before I came to SHOT, my editor let me know I would be doing a T&E on a new trigger from RISE Armament. Because of that I made sure to set up an meeting with their team to get the scoop on who they are and what they are bringing to the market. Their background [Read More…]
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 […] [Read More…]

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 [Read More…]
Duracoat has made a living by improving and preserving the look of your firearms, whether it’s clear coating to keep your shiny new gun shiny and new, bright colors to turn your serious gun in to a bright orange and green eye-catcher, or their new DuraBlue spay-on [Read More…]

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 [Read More…]
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 [Read More…]
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 [Read More…]
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 [Read More…]
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 [Read More…]

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 [Read More…]
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 [Read More…]
PWS unveiled their new Glock EDS (Enhanced Duty Slide). You provide your own barrel and recoil spring but it is a simple drop in upgrade. The rep said they did not want to make any modifications to the frame or trigger of the Glock yet were able to bring the factory [Read More…]
I found Recover and they have some really cool products coming out this year. First up they have a pistol-carbine conversion kit similar to the other pistol conversion kits like the Roni or SIG ACP. However the Recover Morphy BCZ has better features than the others. [Read More…]
SureFire is coming out with a new pistol light. This one was designed with X300 user complaints in mind. SureFire received many requests for a pistol light that does not protrude past the muzzle of common pistols like a Glock 17 or 19. The XC1 is similar to the new [Read More…]
Flambeau has been manufacturing injected molded products since 1947; 68 years ago their first creation was a bass lure, and in the years that have followed they’ve ramped up production to include everything from duck calls to turkey decoys to hard-sided gun cases. [Read More…]
A new company called RZE (Ross & Zheng Engineering) is introducing a magazine at SHOT this year that I had a chance to take a look at today. It looks like a standard 30-round AR magazine, but it has a clever follower design that allows it to adapt to the angle of a [Read More…]
We did a review on Rigel Products’ Boresmith in 2013. This year they are bringing something new to their product line–a Jag Brush for cables, in response to demand from dealers and customers. The male end of the brush has an 8/32 thread that will fit [Read More…]
I have been actively using a Clipdraw for years on my Glock 17 (and my wife has one on her Glock 19). I can’t really think of a simpler way to carry a pistol on your waist that will hold it in place (queue the comments about duct tape). The only place I think it [Read More…]
Here are all our posts published on 22 January 2015 during Day 3 of SHOT Show. We can only fit 30 posts on the homepage, so if you missed any here they in chronological order from earliest to latest …
Who here carries absolutely everywhere? And I mean everywhere… I try my best to do so (obviously I’m not carrying at SHOT), but while exercising, I’ve never really found a solution that works for me. I’ve tried everything from belly bands to [Read More…]
EAA Corp teased us last year with their polymer framed 1911, but they confirmed at the 2015 SHOT SHOW Show that it’s finally coming to market. Their rep estimated it should be available around March of this year. It features a polymer frame and an unloaded weight [Read More…]
Glock customizers Zev Technologies showed off their new .22LR conversion kits at the 2015 SHOW Show. They had it behind glass so I wasn’t actually able to fondle it, but from what I saw it looked to be of pretty good build quality, as is the case with many of Zev [Read More…]
