We saw a lot of cool shotguns at Range Day during SHOT Show 2017. Here are the top five.

Since its introduction several years ago, Crye Precision’s revolving shotgun has captured the hearts and minds of many gun owners.

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.

The M.O.A.B. is a 1/4 MOA click adjustable tilting scope base, which allows you to use the middle of your optics glass at long range. So rather than click your scope out 40 or more MOA when you stretch from 100 to 1000 yards, you click the base out, and make only minor adjustments to your scope turrets.

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.

When I ran across this AR magwell innovation at SHOT, that was the first thing that came to mind. Am I privy to a different way of doing this that will change the AR-15 forever, and deprecate the guns we thought were absolutely the shit.

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.
