predicted that the SHOT SHOW would be all new stuff this year with very little AR-15 guns and accessories. He was completely wrong. I think at least 2/3 of the gun booths and accessory booths were covered with AR-15 guns and accessories. Usually we hit the SHOT SHOW but the last couple of years we have passed on it for personal reasons. That being the show has turned into a concept show. The manufacturers build one gun that has all new features and show it to the 80,000 people that hit the show. Then if it doesn't get enough ooohs and aahs they drop it and tell the public they never made it. The old shows were for dealers to come and see the new products and make our yearly purchases at that time. Unfortunately that is no longer the way things are.

But if you are an AR fan and a fan of new handguns that all look the same, there are plenty of new guns and such to keep you drooling.
