It's the Monday of SHOT SHOW 2026, the world's largest gunshow. Last year's thread was a marathon in six parts. Let's have a comfier thread this year.

Last year it was. I made a PDF of it here >>63188999Last year's URL washttps://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/csg/shotshow_2025_supplierdirectory/index.php#/p/Cover1Best I can find this year is the index inside the Tracker, which doesn't have the descriptions about what the suppliers provide.https://read.nxtbook.com/shot_show/tracker/2026/_2026_supplier_showcase_exhibitors_1.htmlClicking on every single booth on the supplier part of floorplan map like an asshole obviously isn't an option.

>>64773542Thanks for hosting again anon!My hope is to see something about Ruger's double stack Mark IV patent, or some other high-capacity 22lr handgun that dosen't just look plain.
>>64773542Fort Scott Munitions told me through email that they'll bring .38 Super TUI ammo at this show. I hope they'll start selling it soon.
>>64773558I'm not sure how active I'll be in the thread. I've been away from the board for a while (life stuff). It seems slow atm so I'm expecting a slow thread.The double-stack Mark IV is neat. On a semi-related note, we'll have to see if the PR57's success last year leads to more "fun guns" this year.
>>64773578Keltec has already teased what seems to be a 9mm stripper clip handgun. I hate how all of this shit is in Instagram which I never look at.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTrBDJ9AbOp/?igsh=aXYxODNzOTE5MGF1SR-3M coming and I hope it's not vaporware. It's cool and I hope it comes to market but I personally think there's more mystique in the 9A-91 and VSK-94.
>>64773591Yeah, fully documenting a major tradeshow usually involves 10s of thousands of media items spread across hundreds of websites. With shot show the marketing is very retail-oriented (compared to most arms shows), so it's shittier + less technical + published on awful platforms like instagram.Thankfully, the japanese airsoft waifus of shot show are a twitter breed.
>>64773620Fun mystery link. It does that thing of redirecting to a random different reel when I click on it.
>>64773631https://www.instagram.com/roswellrifleworks?igsh=MW05YWwxY290emFwNw==All this SR-3/VAL/VSS stuff is possible since kits came into the country but I doubt anyone would be able to reproduce the 9A-91 and VSK-94. Most of the KBP stuff is vaporware even inside Russia.
>>64773542this better show up or i'm rioting
I think 2016 was the last SHOT Show I went to. I got some shot glasses from a company I liked. Its like a convention of used car salesman and awkard European salesmen and a bunch of flyover Codys from nowhere Nebraska that went to Vegas for the first tiem.

>>64773542Predicting a new rimfire release: the 23lr
>>64773668Has IWS "failed" as a milgun yet? Haven't checked in a while. Only way we'll ever see it.OP heading out til later.
>>64773676I hope all of the people who use the term 'flyover' get colon cancer.
>>64773542Oh boy, it's What Are PSA and Kel Tec Finally Releasing 2026! Been waiting all year for this!
>>64773743Most of the country is empty land. Even if you own a ranch out in the boonies, you still own approximately 0% of the empty land. You gotta fly over it to get from point A to point B. It's a very reasonable expression.
I guess this marks a full year of being cockteased with the SK K2 series coming back. I need it. I want to hold it against my body. I want to feed it tteokbokki and feel its long stroke gas piston in my hands. I don't even like kpop.
>>64773694Attaching two guns together? Really?Anything but make their gun a reasonable price...
>>64773542Dubs and someone will have stolen my taser/pepper ball rail attachment.
Someone needs to turbo-slap the Crye guys until they spill what happened to picrel.
>>64773548>Influencer Events
>>64774032>>64773548>less exhibitors>more influencersThis does leave a bad taste in my mouth. But thanks ahead of time, OP!
>>64773542Thanks for making a thread!
