SHOT Show 2025

Taurus’s new GX2 is a compact 9mm pistol that aims to combine value and performance at an attractive price. While at the booth the rep highlighted several key improvements over its predecessor.

C&H Precision is a Georgia company with roots in producing pistol-optic adapter plates that has grown rapidly. Now they sell optics, including two new offerings for 2025 that caught my attention at SHOT Show.

At SHOT Show 2025, Glock and Aimpoint announced a limited-edition collaboration: the Glock x Aimpoint COA combo, featuring the new Aimpoint COA red dot optic mounted on select Glock 9mm pistols.

KelTec claims this gun is 40% lighter than the next lightest pistol chambered for 5.7x28mm. It weighs just 13.86oz and is a mere .937 inches wide. It feels remarkably slim.

While perusing the isles of SHOT Show I came across the Alien Gear booth and one of their new holsters caught my eye. The Rapid Force Level 3 Duty for compact lights.

It’s a brand-new bolt action rifle, and Geissele’s attention to detail in its design is immediately noticeable. This rifle is packed with advanced features that make it a serious tool for hunters and long-range shooters alike.

The Thermion 2 LRF XL60 features a 1024×768 thermal sensor, <20 mK sensitivity, and a durable metal housing. Its battery system includes a built-in pack and a replaceable APS3 B-pack, providing up to 7 hours of runtime.

Just this morning Colt announced their revolver RMSc plate, a new red dot mounting plate for their Python, Anaconda, and King Cobra revolvers.

Besides being gold-plated stainless steel, the standout features of the 47 are the Damascus grips and trigger. Cabot is famous for using uniquely forged Damascus steel to craft their guns, often going as far as making images or text appear in the texture.
