The official 2012 SHOT show thread
« on: January 15, 2012, 05:34:41 AM »
SHOT show is starting tomorrow. Post any interesting products or information here.

I think Magpul and Ruger announced some new stuff already before the show. I wonder if they have anything else up their sleeves.

I found some pics of the media day. The day where everybody gets to shoot the new stuff. Some new optics, some new guns.

Yeah, I can't see who would buy something like that. The reticle (which I thought was just a sticker at first) is more of a hinderance.

Well, I'm sure more useful stuff will be shown today.

Was talking with some Texas hunters. They hunt wild hogs and use them to feed
The homeless!  Saves the state a few $$. They donate their time

Way too much eye candy here! And lots of guns :)...

Anyone want suveniors?  Got hk calendar RRA Pens. Sako stickers.
Let me know as long as not too heavy.

Never see no one from Hawaii yet.

yeah I met a lot of guys that do eradication as a business in Texas and they shoot a lot of hog and give the meat to the homeless shelters. Very good idea saves the state a lot of money feeding them. I think they do the same in Alaska to. If you like you mail me on HK calendar :)

Here are the pics that SpeedTek sent me. The last one is a little blurry, sorry I couldn't fix it. The place looks massive. I'd love to go one day.

It doesn't look like there's too much this year in the way of firearms. The Tavor should be interesting though. I'd like to see the price.

I like it.
Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

It took me a minute to see the Tavor, at first glance all I saw was just above and to the right of the guys hand throwing dueces.  Ive owned a MARS optic for a few years now, its about time I actually got the gun it was made for.
