TTAG SHOT Show Coverage Begins . . . Now!

January 18, 2016

After a long day shooting guns and schmoozing with firearms industry folk, the TTAG team has returned from SHOT Show’s Media Day at the Range and SIG SAUER’s massive demo event at the Clark County Shooting Complex. The guys are gathering in the gloaming to sip Bulleit bourbon and generate a stream of shooting impressions and new product news. In anticipation of our carpet bombing coverage, I extend my heartfelt thanks to the steadfast souls providing our Armed Intelligentsia with gun news. Rock and roll!

I wondered why there was no shot show coverage yet. Glad you guys didn’t forget.

Request: check out the new Patriot Ordinance Factory 338 rifle and find what goodies Primary Weapon Systems brought with.

XOXO,

Mom

Here’s to another year of AR accessories. Maybe we can get some more innovative ideas? Maybe I’m just negative.

Woo who! Gun fun for weeks. Have fun…

Tell Kimber to lower the price of their new revolver by $350 and it’ll be a hit.

Hmmm…better get on it-TFB already has a bunch of posts up(but they suck)lol.

  I really like TFB and think it does a great job — but the writing is kinda blah. Not bad, but just blah.
  
  Guns are exciting and entertaining. Well, some of them are. But TFB, as good as it is, is not entertaining.

    MY biggest problem with TFB is the awful commenting thing-and saying they ain’t political when they ARE. I can see gun reviews everywhere. “It’s a dandy pocket pistol”. But I only comment here and myriad FB pages FWIW Ralph.

So, RF, is the 2016 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (Also currently taking place on the Vegas strip) off-limits to Nick, Tyler, JWT, and Jeremy S?

  I’m fine with the usual pics of booth babes.

Too many shows happening at the same time! Arrrg

I’m envious, but know you guys will do a great job. You get to shoot other people’s gun for free, and don’t even have to clean them afterwards. Good times.

Please check the Browning booth. Rumor has it they brought back the “Sweet 16”

It’s nice having been around long enough to start recognizing you all by face. Still a couple of you I don’t recognize, though.

PS: Good job keeping the weight off, Nick.

Mr Taylor looks pretty ghostly with his head popping up of there and no visible legs.

  Ha! You can see them if you look hard. He does almost look shopped in if not for that, though. 🙂
