The Red Army C39V2 has changed all that; this is a modern gun that offers options for lights, optics, and a pain-free shooting experience for the human holding it. Accuracy has been improved, and reliability has been maintained. To top it all off, this package can be purchased without funding a system that does not have our best interests at heart. This is truly an American gun, for Americans.

I am always on the lookout for handy gear to help me maintain my guns, so I decided to swing by the Otis Technology booth at SHOW Show 2017. Otis Technology is a family-owned and -operated company that has invested in research and development for serious-use customers.

The holy grail for precision shooting is being able to quickly gauge the distance to your target and take the shot. To that end, Bresser’s new rifle-mounted Equalizer laser rangefinder provides the accurate measurements you need without having to deal with an often-cumbersome separate piece of kit not on your gun.

We always like to stop by the Nikon booth at SHOT Show to see what new gear they have for the year. Nikon is renowned for making great products at good prices, so we were interested to see what was on offer for the year.

The Kreighoff Semprio is not your ordinary rifle. The Kreighoff Semprio is not comparable to any rifle you’ve ever shot. The Semprio is – in a world of cookie cutter, wanna-be rifles – a different, undeniable breath of fresh air. Like it or hate it, the Semprio is irrefutably unique. Please, allow me to explain.

The X Rail crew are some old friends, and I was happy to catch up with them at SHOT Show. The original X Rail changed the way people thought about shotguns for competitive ventures, and the became the go-to, must-have shotgun add-on for open class shooters. Essentially a rotating drum magazine that goes on the end of your shotgun, it upped capacity to 22+1 with 2¾-inch shells. Mark told me he also made a special run of 3½-inch shell models for the local goose hunting crowd.

The evaluation copy of the Combat Unit came to me chambered in 9mm. It is also offered in the traditional .45 ACP. What you get from 9mm is an extra round of capacity from a standard sized magazine, and less recoil. Much less recoil in fact, because shooting 9mm in a 40-ounce handgun almost feels like it should have an orange muzzle. Add in the inherent ergonomics of the 1911 and the brilliant extras added by Colt and it’s downright fun.

Exciting stuff in the world of optics, and Leupold was on point, as usual, this year. Two new releases we saw are sure to resonate with consumers this year.
