SHOT Show 2017

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.

In all of its configurations, the HK-91 is about as reliable a .308 battle rifle as you’ll find. I have had rifles in this design since the 80s when Century Arms first brought in CETME rifles from Spain, which is where that design originally appeared. To this day PTR Industries is involved with the current CETMEs that Century sells, and I have one in for review now actually.

This year Timney is following the herd with their latest take on the AR-15 drop in style trigger. The thinking on this product is geared to the competitive shooter who wants to develop his or her own style of trigger work, with a slightly canted paddle angle. Super light, you could theoretically set up the trigger to almost brush it rather than pull it straight back, and that could theoretically give you an advantage for long distance precision shooting, or even quick 3-Gun work.

How do you explain someone who designed a gun specifically so that it could be made for $10 so that you can make them to turn into gun buybacks for upwards of $300. That is Mark Serbu, and he has been making novel and useful gun products for years, that unfortunately only early birds get to actually buy lmao.

If you are a cowboy shooter or you just love guns that look and feel like they did at the dawn of American firearms, Cimarron has become the primary importer of high quality Uberti firearms, any many of them are short run and quite novel. This year is an 1862 Colt Pocket conversion to .380ACP, a original version of the 94 Winchester, and a couple 1876 leverguns with interesting stories.

If you run into Kowa at a big box store or gunshop, give them a look. High quality optics aren’t for everyone, but if you are spending big bucks on a hunting or sightseeing trip, being able to see clearly at distance in low light will add a lot of value to what you are already investing.

Twisted Industries https://twisted.industries/shop/ If you look around hard enough at SHOT Show you’ll find some really innovative stuff. Standing 10 feet away you’d never know that Twisted Industries was one of them, but if you stop and ask, “Hey what is all this stuff,” they’ll explain that they make are rimfire conversion kits for some [...]

A fundamental introspective question. Do I need to spend a grand on what appears to be a flimsy electronic gadget that lets me see thermal up to hundreds of yards away? Let’s all join hands and meditate, or maybe medicate if you lean toward the positive.

There are two models, the Target Hound and the Target Hound Max. If you only plan to shoot at 100 yards or less, the regular Target Hound fits targets to 18 inches wide. It will hold both 1×2 strapping and 2×4 standard construction lumber. The base is made to stay stable in a light breeze, so if you want more wind resistance, you can attach longer lumber stringers to the extended legs.
