If you have never been to SHOT Show it is hard to get a grasp on how huge this show is and how many firearms there are to see. I read somewhere that if you walk every single isle, on all the floors and in all the rooms, that it would add up to about 40 miles. I know by Friday my feet felt like they had walked 40 miles. What I am trying to convey is that there is so much stuff, noise and people that it can be difficult to find something that truly stands out and is a surprise when you see it.<\/p>\n

\"What's<\/a>

What’s old is new.<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u2019m talking mind blowing type stuff. My mind got blown on Thursday at SHOT. I had seen and found some truly cool and innovative things, but not at the level that spoke to me. \u00a0I was certainty not expecting my mind to be blown at the Colt<\/a> <\/a>booth either. Nothing against Colt at all, but they are a monolithic bastion of tradition. Consistent.<\/p>\n

When I was handed a 1903 Colt Pocket Hammerless at the Colt booth I had 3 thoughts run through my head.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What the hell is this doing here?<\/li>\n
  2. Man, this thing is in great shape!<\/li>\n
  3. Wait a minute, I think this is new?!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I was right. It is new. Mind blown. Colt has teamed with U.S. Armament Corp.<\/a><\/a>, the guys that made the Gatling gun a few years back, to remake the old John Browning classic. Now they are making the 1903 in the General Officers Pistol version. Be sure to watch your interview with Curt Wolf who is the man behind this project.<\/p>\n

    Should we hold our breath for a re-release of the Snakes?<\/p><\/div>\n

    [\/one_half][one_half_last]Here is the break down on what is planned for this run:<\/p>\n
