Nothing spectacular and catching my eyes this year.

Here is what I saw my first day...

The Kimber 9mm is not that impressive. It kind of feels like a slightly slimmer Hi-Point 9mm. It is smaller, but the feel and look is nearly the same.

If you guys have not checked out the DiamondBack 9mm and .380s, you really need to.

For those of you at the show, they don't have a both, but their pistols are at Lipseys and RSR. RSR had the best selection.

I am sorry, but that Kel-Tec is a monstrosity! And at a dealer price of $800, that sucker is going to be a $1000 easily. The guy at the Kel-Tec booth was having all sorts of feeding issues with the dummy rounds. There is one at the RSR booth that no one knows about so you can handle them there.

So it sounds like they are good ideas on paper but not so much in the real world. Too bad, maybe some more refinement, like most products the first models of anything are most likely something to pass on anyway.

I'll admit the Kel tec isn't gonna win any beauty pagents but I can see where the application is going. If they can get it to run reliably they may have a seller.

Thanks and keep the pics and info coming. Us unprivileged need more pRon.

What's the deal on the 300 Blackout, is it real or vapor. I keep hearing 5M round run but then nothing.

Check out SilencerTalk forums, there were a few dealers there who had uppers/barrels/ammo available for sale. This was months ago.

It looks like the BSR conversion that Valkyrie Armament is producing. Is it merely that Belt fed conversion pre-installed on one of MGI's 5.56 magwells?

I know this is a guns board, but...

Benchmade.

Anything new at that booth to get excited about?


Oh and how I hope that Ruger LC9 comes to CA, SOLD!

Not to rain on the parade but I think it was just a 25th branded gen 4 lineup...

Diamond Arms made connections!

We worked out a deal with Black rain Ordnance. We'll have pink splash, skulls and Nor-guard complete rifles on their way. With more to come



Also who got a free iphone case and some the Magpul Dr. Drake roll your own "Cigarette" box with the 12 dummy rounds in it. That was cool swag!
