Media Day - 1/16/12



Yesterday we were down at the range for Media Day. We were able to get our hands on a few awesome guns which you can take a look at after the jump: Media Day Recap Live from the Range for SHOT Show 2012.

Here are a few pictures from the day. You can see the rest of the pictures at the SHOT Show Media Day Photo Gallery:

Gatling Gun - One of the coolest things we saw! Sadly, we weren't able to shoot it...you won't believe how long the line for that one was.


The KRISS .45 ACP Submachine Gun

But now for the main event: today is the official start of SHOT Show! We will be tweeting live from the floor today which you can follow here: Our Twitter Feed.

Today is going to be an intense day. We're lined up to talk with Bushnell, Uncle Mike's, Leupold, Vortex, Safariland, Surefire, FOBUS, ATN and Burris. So keep an eye out for updates at GearExpert.com.

Day 1 Recap of SHOT ShowSHOT Show Day One Photo Gallery!

Here is a sneak peak at a few things you can expect to see on GearExpert.com in the next few days...


One thing that really caught our eye was ATN's thermal scope, THOR. We thought it was pretty awesome and will provide a more in-depth look at it in our future posts! Trust us, words doesn't do it justice.



Burris is releasing the Eliminator III in the spring and we can assure you that our product specialists are going to be all over it. It ranges up to 1200 yards and the BDC works no matter what the magnification.



Bushnell is coming out with a new line of HD trail cameras with a bunch of different features.



Simmons also has a few trail cameras coming out ranging from 4MP to 7MP.

Also, of you want to know more about the gear we saw at the range on Media Day, check out our newest post: SHOT Show Media Day Products from KRISS, Trijicon and EOTech! Read about our first impressions on the EOTech XPS2-Z Zombie Stopper Holographic Weapon Sight, KRISS Super V Vector SMG .45 ACP and Trijicon TARS (Tactical Advanced RifleScope).


(Zombies seem to be a really popular theme this year)

Visit KWA while you're on your way to see Troy Industries and KRISS Systems. There's a market you can get into.

Day 2 Recap of SHOT Show

Hello everyone! To read the full recap of Day 2, read our newest blog: SHOT Show Day 2 New Products!. We've also put up a new photo gallery: SHOT Show Day 2 Photos!

Here's a small summary of what we saw on Day 2 at SHOT:

Weaver is coming out with a new line of scopes--the Kaspa. It comes in just about every magnification imaginable, and ranges from $150 to around $400.



5.11 Tactical is known for their durable tactical clothing and will be coming out with new pants and bags. The pants are made with a stretchy fabric which are sure to be comfortable and allow maximum movement.



GunVault is coming out with an awesome new line called the SpeedVault. You punch in your code or use your fingerprint and the vault immediately pops your gun out at a 45 degree angle. You'll be able to lock and load in about 2.5 seconds.



So in addition to the TARS that we saw at Media Day, Trijicon has the SRS, the battery ACOG that uses only a single AA battery.



We saw a bunch of holsters by Galco, including a few new products, but more on that later.



BLACKHAWK is coming out with a full line of tactical clothing designed from the ground up for women.

As for the products we mentioned in our Day 1 Recap, here is a closer look at some of them: .

Tomorrow is the last day of SHOT, it'll be bitter sweet. We'll be providing more updates in the next few days and we'll finally get a chance to sit down and write more in-depth review about what we saw. See you then!
