There might be a small ray of sunshine peeking through for 2021 and gun event attendees as the NRA has just announced new dates for their NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits. The event will still be held in Texas but the dates which were originally scheduled for mid-May of 2020 have been moved to September 3-5 of 2021. Full Details in the NRA press release below:

In light of the current Coronavirus pandemic the NRA have taken the decision to cancel the their 2020 annual meeting. The meeting had been scheduled to take place next month in Nashville, TN, between April 16th – 19th. The NRA annual meeting is one of the shooting industry’s most popular events with hundreds of exhibitors and tens of thousands of people set to attend, with this in mind the NRA have decided that in the interests of public health it is best to cancel this year’s event.

Erik Stern was kind enough to give me the low down on Beretta’s new striker fire pistol, The APX.

No that is not a comically over sized dime. I saw the Minature Arms Society booth as I was walking along the low number aisles of the NRA Annual Meeting show room.

Aklys Defense is owned by Joe Meaux. You may recognize the name and face from the Sons of Guns show. Well at the NRA Annual Meeting, the brought out a new suppressed gun just in time for the show.

What’s new for KRISS USA at the NRA Annual Meeting? They have a new extended handguard for the Vector.

Allstar Tactical is based out of Rochester, NY and its owner, Mike Centola, designs and makes everything he sells.

Day two of the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting was on Saturday, and accordingly the exhibition hall was packed with people enjoying the weekend browsing booths, taking photos with celebrities, and interacting with manufacturers. For me, the second day was time to catch up on the news and exhibits that I had missed the first day. Daniel Defense, for example, released a 32 round AR-15 magazine the first day of the show. In fact, the magazines were advertised over about a quarter of the urinals at the show, although I didn’t have the presence of mind to photograph any of the posters.

At the 2016 National Rifle Association Annual Meeting, gunmaker Smith & Wesson announced a new single stack carry handgun for the civilian market: A .45 ACP variant of their popular Military & Police Shield, previously available in .40 S&W and 9mm only.

The Firearm Blog is walking the halls of the showroom floor here at the National Rifle Association’s 2016 Annual Meeting. In addition to spotlights on exhibitors, we will also be publishing collection posts covering the show more broadly to give folks a sense of what there is to see, and where.
