SHOT Show 2024 Reminder SHOT Show 2024 Reminder

Yes, the SHOT Show will be coming once again to the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.  There will be Miles of aisles loaded with the latest and greatest firearms, hunting gear and outdoor equipment of every description. 

The real emphasis on firearms is changing rapidly, where every gun is a work of art.  From the design of the metal to the grips it’s going to be beautiful.  No, it’s not to heyday of the 70s with lots of engravers.  Things are changing and a lot of the new firearm art is computer generated and or laser engraved.  Color is everywhere now and the amazing new finishes on firearms  are bold and exciting.

If you’re in the industry, come join us in Las Vegas.  If you’re just consumer, don’t fret, there will be lots of videos all over YouTube including ours! 

Industry Day At The Range.  This is a select portion of the shot show where we will be out of the range, shooting the latest firearm offerings.  We will share that experience with our viewers!  

The 2014 SHOT Show in Las Vegas

Paul Huebl at the 2014 Shot Show

Las Vegas, NV--some 67.000 people came to Sin City from every corner of the globe to celebrate firearms.  Exhibitors and firearms trade professionals came to town. Most everyone was armed however there were no murders or accidents involving people associated with this event. 

I can be found hanging out with the fine folks at Eagle Grips and hope for a moment to go out and shoot and edit some video.

Rocker and gun rights advocate Ted Nugent has a little fun with his long time friend Raj Singh, President of Eagle Grips. You can see that below. 

I have a lot of video to edit and will do so as time permits. 

The 2013 SHOT Show Will Open Next Week in Las Vegas!

Las Vegas, NV—The Shooting and Hunting Outdoor Trade Show is about to begin in Sin City!  The public is not invited but even so as many as 60,000 visitors involved in the trade will attend.  This is the largest gun show in the world.

Lots of celebrities will be on hand along with every significant firearm and accessory manufacturer in the world. 

In the 35-year history of this show there’s never been a shooting, accidental or otherwise despite the presence of thousands of people and even more firearms.

This year Second Amendment infringing political efforts will be heavily on the minds of the exhibitors and visitors alike. 

Here on display will be the latest and greatest new products of every type for the Great Outdoors. 

Additionally there is a special law enforcement/military section with every imaginable public safety related items. 

Las Vegas has those great show and buffets.   Needless to say I will be attending the show and reporting on whatever I think my visitors may like.  As always I enjoy meeting some of my blog visitors at the show!

Whatever you do, don't dare miss the Eagle Grips booth!

Springfield Armory’s Little Gem, the XDS .45 ACP Sub Compact!

Las Vegas, NV—I’ve never been a fan of polymer frame guns. It’s more because of the sensitive triggers and my fear of an unintended discharge.

Springfield Armory just released their XDS compact .45 ACP pistol. It has an additional grip safety that makes me feel somewhat better.

The size, feel and quality of this little self-defense gun are wonderful.

Sit back and let delightful Dawn present this to you.

Meet A Gun Rights Advocate, Trainer, Wife and Mother set to shake up the firearms landscape.

Las Vegas, NV—Erin Simpson is also a big gun Tucson lawyer! I met this interesting lady in Pittsburgh at last year’s NRA convention. Erin is one to watch as she forces open even more doors to the gun rights community for yet more women.

We have, “Right to Carry” laws in all but a handful of states thanks to some dedicated women like Marion Hammer, Sandi Frohman, actress Lee Purcell and a handful of others. It was a plea from the weaker sex that changed the direction of American gun laws.

The NRA was slow to recruit women perhaps because the good old boys thought only men understood the value of guns as a lifesaver. Women broke down the membership doors of the NRA when they should have been aggressively invited. Thankfully the women are here to stay.

Another sign of hostility that has made women feel unwelcome is some of the thoughtless marketing campaigns exploiting scantly clad ladies using sex to get the attention of men. Erin pointed this out to me in a recent conversation at the Las Vegas SHOT Show and she’s absolutely correct.

Ruger Firearms has used a delightful woman, Kelly Glenn Kimbro. Kimbro is a well known rancher, hunter, guide from Southern Arizona. She’s never caught wearing provocative outfits and her real image is that of an attractive women who is serious about fine firearms. She can be seen in dozens of Ruger posters. Kimbro is a women’s role model in every way.

Sex sells in our world but it need not be tasteless and sleazy. Indeed, women are sexy and using real elegance, glamour to sell fine firearms would offend nobody. Sleazy gun ads don't speak well for men either. Perhaps it's time to bring some class to eye candy.

Erin Simpson is a rising star in the world of Gun Rights, firearms training and self-defense advocacy. I was so impressed with Erin I asked her to sit down in front of the Crimefile News camera so I could introduce her to my blog visitors. Erin has her own informational site and blog that can be seen at: http://www.triggerhappyworld.com/

Sit Back and meet Erin:

Sig Shakes up the Sub-Compact Pistol World at the SHOT Show Yet Again.

Las Vegas, NV—The Sig Sauer Exhibit at this year’s SHOT Show had another compact surprise!

One of my blog visitors wanted me to do a piece on yet another gun being released. I foolishly passed on taking a second look that the gun because of a personal bias against most polymer frame guns. This all black gun had that familiar look from the distance. Boy was I wrong!

The P224 is simply a cut down larger frame P229, making yet another terrific hideout gun. This can be obtained on .40 S&W or .357 Sig.

This is small enough to look like a mouse gun but looks are deceiving. This gun packs a real punch.

I thank my visitor for making me take a second look. Sit back and watch Scott introduce you to the P224:

Another Interesting Las Vegas SHOT Show Item

Las Vegas, NV--I don’t want to overlook a new revolver from Smith & Wesson. It’s called, “The Governor” and it’s very versatile in ammunition choices and would be a formidable defense revolver for sure.

The SHOT SHOW Returns To Las Vegas

Las Vegas, NV—With the latest tragedy in Tucson, the Leftists have joyfully found a crisis to exploit in their zeal to destroy our Second Amendment. They are shamefully campaigning on the shattered backs of a Republican Federal Judge and a moderate Democtic Congresswoman that had both gotten high marks from the NRA as freedom defenders.

Of course slowly we are learning that the Sheriff’s Office of Pima County failed to get the shooter help he so desperately needed that could have prevented the massacre. That Sheriff has assigned blame to Conservative radio talk show hosts despite the fact that the shooter had no interest in them.

The end result of the Gun Grab Talk Fest is yet another dramatic spike in firearms sales!

As always more than 200 millions of Americans safely and lawfully enjoy and use firearms for self-defense. This will continue despite some shrill and ignorant voices of the emotionally unbalanced people that obsess over firearms and the rights of Americans to keep and bear them.

The largest firearms trade show in the world is the Shooting Hunting Outdoor Tradeshow. It generally hosts some 60,000 people from around the world as gun makers fill thousands of booths with the latest and greatest firearms and accessories.

The show is only open to those in the trade like dealers, manufacturers, distributors and the outdoor media. Guns can be ordered here and shipped to dealers anywhere in the world. Many accessories can be purchased from various manufacturers at the show.

There is a terrific law enforcement section with the latest and greatest public safety equipment. There are lots of experts on hand to explain the products and their application.

There are always celebrities around mingling with the attendees.
