The MultiCam Rally Fighter is but one of the cool vehicles frequently seen at the SHOT Show. This purpose-built machine was prominently displayed on the ground floor of the convention center, and drew quite a bit of interest from people wandering by.
While at Media Day, I got a chance to see the Comp-Tac Trojan Horse, which is a discreet way to carry a rifle or carbine. The case looks more like an over-sized tennis racquet case than it does a rifle bag. This allows someone to legally carry a gun into places in a manner that will not draw attention.
Gordon Carrell, the general manager for Comp-Tac, gave me a demonstration of the Trojan Horse, and convinced me that this case is a well designed product that will please most shooters who are in the market for such a tool. The case is not flimsy, and appears it will stand up to many years of service, even from neanderthals like me.
Kahr announced the new CW380 at the SHOT Show. The new pistol is chamered in .380 ACP and continues the budget line of pistols the company has been putting out for several years. Other calibers in this line include the CW9 and CW40 in 9mm and .40 S&W respectively.
The CW380 has a 2.58″ barrel and is less than 5″ in total length. Â Height is less than 4″. Throw in an unloaded weight (no magazine) of 10.2 ounces and you can see how someone wanting a very lightweight, concealable firearm might like the new Kahr.
Rock Island Armory is introducing two new 10mm pistols at the SHOT Show. Both are 1911-type platforms. Here are the specs on these guns:
It looks like Glock’s big announcement at the SHOT Show (other than “Hey, we have a social network site!”) is the 30S pistol. I mentioned the rumors of this gun a few days ago, but I have now seen one.
Essentially, the Glock 30S is a model 30SF frame with a model 36 slide attached to it. The key benefit being to shrink the width of the gun to make it more appealing for concealed carry. I certainly applaud the effort, and I would presume this gun will be well received in the market.
