NRA 2016

The Laserguard Pro is new for 2016 and currently available for the Smith & Wesson Shield series of pistols

The iconic “roller-locked” series of rifles designed by Heckler & Koch (HK) have been a perennial favorite with military and tactical firearms aficionados. And, thanks to the efforts of South Carolina-based PTR Industries and its PTR-91 GI model, shooters have a chance to own a newly made version of this classic 7.62x51mm design.

Smith & Wesson made their big, new NRA Annual Meeting product announcement and it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser: meet the new S&W M&P Shield in .45 ACP.

“On behalf of the thousands of patriots in this room, and the five million NRA members across this country, and the tens of millions who support us, I’m officially announcing the NRA’s endorsement of Donald Trump for president,” said Chris W. Cox, Executive Director of the NRA-ILA.

Heckler & Koch unveiled a commercial semi-automatic version of their iconic MP5K machine pistol at this year’s NRA Annual Meeting, the SP5K. They are also adding a new model VP9 pistol with a flat dark earth (FDE) frame and factory night sights.

Anyway, at this year’s event, I happened to stop at the Gemtech station first, by pure chance and stumbled on some quiet coolness. New for 2016 is the Integra silenced AR upper receiver.
