Being a full-fledged member of the cult of the 10mm, this was an excellent SHOT Show for me. New from Kimber this year is the Super Jagare. “Jagare” is German for hunter, and this new model should excel at that. Chambered in 10mm, it features a full 6-inch barrel to really exploit the velocity capability of this round. The barrel is also factory ported, which helps keep the gun controllable during recoil.

This year at SHOT Show we got our greedy little paws on two new offerings, and these are both going to be winners.

Mossberg had quite a few new items at SHOT this year, including the introduction of 2 AOWs (Any Other Weapons) based on the Mossberg 500 and 590 family of weapons.

The new Spectrum pistol from Taurus takes modularity to the next level with its customizable color system and has an appealing ergonomic design as well.

The NCPCC, or Nordic Components Pistol Caliber Carbine, is the coolest 9mm carbine I have seen. It sports standard AR furniture, which you can change out if you like, and a mil-spec trigger group. That also means you can put your favorite AR trigger in; no need to look for a sub gun special. By far the selling point though, in my opinion, is the innovative magazine system.

Stag Arms has been a leader in the AR side of the house, most notably the only major manufacturer to offer left-handed models. I don’t suffer from wronghandedness myself, but I appreciate a company stepping up the engineering to solve a problem.

The Car Abdo is essentially a lockable gun vault in your car, the entire system runs off of a fob.

Trijicon came to the party, ready to dance, with all kinds of new stuff out this year. With a spectrum this large, they showed once again why they are a leader in every field of sighting systems.

Full disclosure, I have never liked SIG handguns. Not a one…
