Ed. Note: In 2013, EOTech introduced a number of new products including the new EOtech 300 Blackout optic. Aaron had a chance to shoot with one and spend time with the company engineers out in Las Vegas. This is his preliminary review of the 300 BLK optic.
Being a user of this company’s products, I was interested to see the new EOTech Model 300 Blackout Whisper at the 2013 SHOT Show.
Another new gun shown at the 2013 SHOT Show is the Kahr CM45 (Model #4543). The CM series of handguns is the economy version of the PM series that Kahr produces. Adding the venerable .45 ACP caliber to the CM series of handguns should bode well for Kahr, as the CM series has been a popular line for the company. Although, not the top of the line offering like the PM series, the CM series still offers many desired features, while allowing a market price far below the PM series.
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.
