Sig 1911-22

So many little things that people seemed to have missed at SHOT, like Sig's .22lr 1911.

Sig716

Sig also revealed their 7.62x51mm AR10 type rifle during SHOT.

I think it looks good, and has a lot of features I'd go with right out of the box.  Maybe I'll be able to get one in a few years....

On a more serious note, they're making them in a 12.5" SBR, 14.5" carbine, 16" patrol carbine, and 20" marksman package (pictured above.)

More on Hyperstealth

From Kit Up.  Seems they got to talk to Guy Cramer at SHOT, and he shed a little more light on the subject.

I first mentioned Hyperstealth late last month, and I'm still pretty excited to see how this stuff develops.

SHOT 2011 Daily Linkness

USB rechargeable green laser for your pistol

S&W 1911s, "budget" Aimpoints, and another shot of the Arc'teryx Rigger's Belt are just some of the highlights on Military Times Gear Scout.

Steve claims there's a rifle in this post, I'm having trouble finding it (on a serious note, that is a sweet gun.) He also sums up my feelings towards the newest Ruger wonder-nine.

More SHOT Link-age!

Kel-Tec KSG 14+1 12 Ga beast (Although Caleb found an oddity in the firing mechanism.  Hopefully that's ironed out in the production version.)
For those who think the Taurus Judge isn't ridiculous enough, you can just get the Raging Judge, chambered in 28ga ("The comfort of .410 buckshot apparently outweighs the gun by several pounds." That is gold right there.  No doubt the Raging Judge will allow you shoot even larger donut shaped patterns with slightly larger holes and mediocre velocity.  Should sell by the ton.)

Snap!  Not only is there a GSG StG 44 in the works, but an MP40 as well.

Sig 556 Russian (despite the name, the gun fires 7.62x39 from AK mags...) Sig 50 (which is a .50 cal.)

What's SHOT Without Booth Babes?!

Over at WEVO.

SHOT 2011 3.5

A few more today, because there's some cool stuff.

GSG StG 44 (Yes, a .22lr StG Clone!) Semi-auto 37mm launcher,  and Polymer Cased Ammo

AAC's 2011 Spring Catalog is available for download

LRWC Ultra-compact PDW (Stubby AR, looks good though)

"Budget" Eclipse MOLLE Pouches (I'll definitely be picking some of these up when they're available, especially if they're in Multicam,) Ka-bar Zombie Killer knives (I do like this one.)

SHOT 2011 3.0!

Umm... more links.

S&W Movie Guns (kinda cool,) and more on the Para 14.45 Tactical from Gun Nuts Media

Crye MagClips and new prototype Multitasker Tools (I like the idea behind the MagClips.  As for the Multitaskers, I'd known about the Series 3, but I hadn't heard about the Super Tube or the new Ultralight.  I like!)

Mossberg "Chainsaw" (it's for breaching! Honestly!!) and the Walther PPQ

Charter Rimless Revolver, Belt-fed AR

More M&P22 stuff

More "Day 1" stuff from GunsAmerica, including a torched safe full of guns

SHOT 2011 Day 2 (er, Day 1...)

Media Day doesn't count.  Anyway, more linkage!  (Wish I was there...)

Gun Nuts Media continues the fun with some Kriss SMG video fun.

Colt 1911 Anniversary Line

Kriss is now importing the Sphinx line of pistols (no word if Col. Hunter Gatherers approves)

Factory Ruger 22/45 threaded rail farm.  (Ok, it's not that bad, probably about time.)  Taurus couldn't stop at one shark, so they're jumping a whole tank full (I'll be watching for the 10ga. version next year...)

Ultimate cool: .308 rifle in a briefcase.

Noveske M249 in .300BLK.

Guns America sums up Media Day.

Kit Up has some more videos up from the last couple days- Surefire mags, Gerber helmet light, and a hydration system cooler deally.

Para 14-45 Tactical (I really like the idea of a railed double stack 1911.  I'm sure that'll offend somebody though.)

Quite a lot of stuff over at Guns Holsters and Gear as well.

SHOT 2011

In case you're trapped under a rock or something, today is Media Day for SHOT Show 2011.  Wish I was there...

Anyway, keep an eye on things, I'll try to get some links to whatever eye candy I can scrounge up as the bloggers return to their hotels tonight when I've got some downtime at work.  In fact, I'll just throw them all on this post, it'll be fun! (And easier to find I guess.)

Smith & Wesson Governor (.410/.45lc/.45acp revolver... face, meet palm...)

Crimson Trace 1911 grips (newer, slimmer & sleeker.  Work with ambi-safeties.)

Colt Piston M4 w/ folding stock (now with more video!)

H&K416C (I will say I like that stock better than the Colt) (video as well)

Colt Revolvers, new Trijicon Night Sights, Glocks, Springfields, the Colt CM/SP109, and new Surefire .22 cans; from Gear Scout (I'm liking those sights...)

HK45, H&K MR556, Random Photos, and some other stuff over at The Firearm Blog.

SHOT '11

Links to stuff added here.

Whoa...

You can always tell when it's getting close to SHOT Show season.  Apparently the Kel-Tec KSG is the thing to talk about today, at least judging by the spike in Google hits on the blog here.  Even more so than the new Ruger (I guess I'm not the only one feeling a little 'meh' towards it.)

Found this over on ARFCOM too, thought I'd share-
























I'm still trying to figure out how you actually get the rounds into the tubes...

Lancer L5 AWM

Lancer Systems have announced a new polymer AR15 magazine to be officially announced at SHOT (well, pricing and availability to be announced then.)

The "Advanced Warfighter Magazine" looks to be an evolution of their current translucent polymer mags, with a more robust feed lip assembly and improved floorplate for easier disassembly.





















The follower is supposed to be an anti-tilt design, which if true would alleviate my biggest complaint about their current generation of translucent mags.  (I can get pictures of what I mean later tomorrow if people are currious.  I've got two Lancers around somewhere.)

The body is also textured for better handling.

M&P .22lr pistol?

And not the AR clone.  Somebody on ARFCOM found this.  A Google search pops up a few more retailers with similar ads.

Would be nice.  There were hopes of this last year, but SHOT Show came around and it didn't appear.  Maybe this year?

Surefire going for the hi-cap mag market

With quad-stack box-ness in 60 and 100 round flavors.


















I will say the 100 rounder look absurd, but apparently their pushing more towards the 3-gun crowd rather than the new Marine LMG (I don't see that 100 rounder going prone anytime soon without it's on little trench...)  They're of metal construction, it'll be interesting to see how the inside is setup.  According to SSD they should be "officially" announced at SHOT, and available next March.

Quads are nothing new, as Tam reminds us, but it's still interesting to see something available.  No word on Magpul's quad though, should be interesting to see what the price comparison will be between molded polymer and welded aluminum though.

More- Gear Scout spoke with the guy's at Surefire, seems they're actually pushing them more towards your standard infantrymen, calling them "anti-ambush mags."  Check out their article for more info and some more pictures.
