#SHOT2023

American Tactical Imports (ATI) will be bringing to the stateside .22LR conversion kits for Glock pistols made by German Schmeisser. These kits consist of drop-in barrels and feed ramps as well as 9x19mm cartridge-shaped chambers that house the .22LR ammunition, fit the standard 9mm magazines and are ejected out of the gun with the fired .22LR cases inside them. At SHOT Show 2023, we had a chance to take a look at this new Schmeisser .22LR conversion kit for Glock pistols.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves talks about what he thought were the six best long guns at SHOT Show 2023. There were great showings by a lot of manufacturers including Beretta, B&T, Zastava, Henry, and even a company you probably never heard of making a pretty wild AR-10. Check the video for the list.

At SHOT Show 2023,  Geissele Automatics displayed a number of their government contract rifles as well as a pair of civilian market guns chambered in 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge), the GFR Maritime RECCE and GFR Stratomatch, that are also based on DoD contract guns. Let’s take a closer look.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at Kalashnikov USA to see what new releases KUSA has for 2023. AKs in 5.56mm and 5.45mm are on the menu, as well as a few other selections.

Bergara sister company CVA continues to roll out new bolt action rifles and muzzleloaders. Their new Cascade XT and Paramount Pro V2 were both present at Industry Day At The Range of SHOT Show 2023.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at SHOT Show 2023 with Jerry of ZEV to talk about the new pistols and chassis systems that ZEV Technologies is launching in 2023.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at the Global Ordnance booth to talk to the Stribog gang about the new additions to the Stribog lineup for 2023. This popular, budget carbine seems to expand every year at SHOT, and 2023 is no different. See what’s coming up for the Stribog.

CAA brought all their latest products and prototypes to  SHOT Show 2023 including the third-generation MCK conversion kits, the Apollo PCC and the sci-fi AGADA carbine. Let’s take a look at each of these CAA products.

In this episode of TFBTV, JamesReeves talks with BFG Director of Training and former Army Ranger, Chris Sizelove, about the new Blue Force Gear Ten-Speed Split Chest Rig. A pricey but well-thought-out and extremely well-constructed piece of gear, the Ten-Speed Split Rig is a great minimalist option when a plate carrier might be unnecessary or unavailable.

New this year from KelTec, formerly known as Kel-Tec, is the KSG410, a dual mag tube, single-barrel shotgun that fits into the footprint of KelTec’s KS7.  Also new from KelTec is their R50, a 16″ barreled rifle version of their P50 5.7×28 pistol, complete with a folding stock that attaches to the bottom of the grip.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at the Kel-Tec booth during SHOT Show 2023 to discuss the new Kel-Tec .410 KSG. While there’s little doubt that the 12 gauge is the king of tactical shotguns, the .410 KSG manages to bring something to the table in that its smaller barrel and tubes make this version of the KSG much smaller and lighter than the original 12 gauge KSG. Like a baby Kel-Tec shotgun! (Aww, so cute!)

Over the last few months, Springfield Armory has come out with a number of new products which have done well for them. Whether it’s the Prodigy, 9mm Saint PCC or the SA-35, they have been busy over the last year with new product releases.
