#ShotShow2020

As the sun began to set in the southern Nevada desert, Industry Day at the Range came to a close. The targets were taken down, the firearms stowed and the products started making their way to the SHOT Show floor. Most would call it in, go grab a bite to eat and maybe hit the casino floor after a long day of walking, talking and shooting but the TFB writers. For us, as the sun was setting on Industry Day at the Range, the TFB “Do it In the Dark” machine gun shoot was just about to begin.

In this episode of TFBTV’s Show Time, James reviews the BEST SMGs and pistol caliber carbines from SHOT 2020. Do you agree with his list? Why or why not? Tell us in the comments!

Want to know what the top 5 handguns of SHOT Show 2020 are? In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves talks about what he believes to be the five best handguns, pistols, and/or revolvers from SHOT Show 2020. It’s always so hard to decide – what will he choose?

At SHOT Show most of the hype is in the main hall. That’s where you’ll find Glock, Sig Sauer, Magpul, Mossberg, Smith & Wesson, Brownells and the rest of the big boys. Off to the sides and under the main hall are where the small and medium sized companies are found. That’s where you find some of the interesting products at SHOT Show. It could be interesting in a good way, and sometimes in a not so good way. And some products make you wonder why they even spent the money to attend.

When reflecting back on my time at Shot Show this year, there were a few big reveals but for the most part it was mainly smaller quality of life innovations at the show this year. One of the more interesting smaller pieces of the show was the collaboration between Modlite and Unity Tactical. Modlite and Unity Tactical came out with one of the first offset light mounts with an integral pressure switch built into the mount. This creates a single contained system that streamlines the overall mounting system.

At SHOT Show last year, ProMag released their 50 round drum mags for the Glock. Well this year they debuted drum mags for the M1A rifle and CZ Scorpion, as well as a new windowed AR-15 65-round drum mag. They also just dropped their new stock kit for the popular Ruger PC9.

SIG Sauer came out for Shot Show swinging with their new Cross rifle and P210 Carry option. In recent years, SIG has been bringing back the P210 in different variations whether its the Target, Standard or Carry size. The new Cross rifle is another example of SIG stepping out and going in a different direction than previously as well. There’s some interesting features that make the Cross a contender, not only for the precision tactical market, but for the hunting market as well.  Lets jump into the the new Cross rifle and SIG P210.

Blackwater Ammunition was showing off their new line of 2011 pistols for 2020 called the Raven series. The Raven 2011 will have two different models for duty use or competition as well as coming in both compact and full size frames. Blackwater wanted to throw their hat into the 2011 ring with a high end 1911 that is competitively priced for today’s market. There is a fairly substantial number of options available for each pistol with the ability to customize your gun to your specifications. Lets take a look at what Blackwater will have new to offer in 2020.

One of the most talked about items at Shot Show 2020 was the release of Vortex’s Razor HD Gen III 1-10×24. Vortex has been known for their Razor line of optics and the previous 1-6×24 was one of the clearest scopes I’ve ever used. The new Razor HD Gen III takes what was good about the previous models and adds magnification, so lets take a look at what the Razor HD Gen III 1-10×24 is all about.

Joel stops by Brownells to check out their new line of precision rifle optics. Available in 3-18X and 5-25X, these first focal plane scopes have good glass, covered windage turret, and built in zero-stop. Find out more about them from Brownells!

The big draw at Lancer Systems’ range day lane was of course the 9x19mm Laugo Alien pistol which they’re importing from the Czech Republic. They had a table absolutely full of them and it was a blast to finally put some rounds through one after reading about them for so long.

SHOT Show is an event where manufacturers show off their latest goods, but to Californians many of them are off limits. Standard capacity magazines, drum mags, sub guns, scary black rifles with pistol grips, pistols not on some approved roster, etc. The gun laws suck in the golden state, but California is still a very large market for the firearms industry and every year many companies release California compliant parts and firearms. Below are a few I stumbled upon at SHOT Show 2020.

American Defense Manufacturing were showing off their new range of magnifiers and some new titanium mounts and AR parts at SHOT Show. First up lets take a look at their new magnifiers that first appears earlier last year.

Palmetto State Armory has always been known for their budget friendly AR-15 rifles and parts kits, they then moved onto AK-47s, then it was AK and AR hybrids. Well now they’ve debuted their own line of pistols. At SHOT Show 2020 they launched their PS9 Dagger pistol.
