It\u2019s that time of year — SHOT Show 2015 is just around the corner. SHOT is the big firearms industry trade show held every January in Las Vegas where over 65,000 industry professionals and 1600+ companies squeeze into one building to do business, talk about new products, and eat overpriced food.<\/p>

Of course, the Lucky Gunner team will be in the crowd too. Most of our guys will take the opportunity to spend some time with our friends in the ammo world<\/a>. That leaves Matt the Photographer and myself to scour the show floor in search of cool stuff to show you guys.<\/p>

Looking at the pre-SHOT reporting so far, there don\u2019t appear to be many earth-shattering new products coming out this year. Just like the last few years, there are a lot of old guns with new finishes and color options, and of course a glut of gimmicky AR-15 and other black rifle accessories.<\/p>

That said, there are a few things that have caught my attention that might be worth checking out. Here\u2019s a quick sample of the list of\u00a0products and companies\u00a0I’ll be investigating.<\/p>

1. 10mm Pistols<\/h3>

At least three of the major manufacturers have announced 10mm pistols ahead of SHOT. Glock is releasing a new longslide 10mm that\u2019s red-dot ready, Sig has a 10mm version of the P220, and Dan Wesson\u2019s got another 10mm 1911.<\/p>

To be honest, I haven\u2019t paid a whole lot of attention to 10mm in the past. I don\u2019t necessarily have anything against it, I just haven\u2019t had the chance to get much trigger time with one. With more of the major gun companies supporting the caliber with new releases, I am a bit intrigued about what the fuss is all about.<\/p>

2. Silencerco<\/h3>

I usually go out of my way to avoid being a shameless fanboy for any particular brand, but I flippin love this company. I own two of their suppressors, and they work great. Their products are reasonably priced, and they have some of my favorite marketing campaigns<\/a> of any company ever.<\/p>
