Title: SHOT Show 2020
Post by: Fly320s on January 21, 2020, 10:49:03 AM
Find something interesting from SHOT?  Or something so stupid that we all need to see it?  This is the place.

This first one is from Amend2.  It is a Sig grip housing that fits 320 slides, but lets you use 365 mags.  Basically, it makes your double stack 320 into a single stack.

Springfield Armory take-down micro AR.

There are several companies making Glock copies.  I guess the patent expired.  Shadow Systems 920, Adams Arms, and another I can't remember.

That micro-AR looks kinda cool. I'll be curious on price and calibers.

I just saw a Shadow Systems at Cabela's the other day and was thinking WTF is that? I'd not heard of them before, but here they were being sold at a chain store.

Interesting to me is PSA's 299$ Not-a-Glock that takes Glock magazines, several things like the trigger group are compatible with aftermarket Glock accessories, and includes some of the things we'd love to see on a Glock (metal sights, standard rifling, mag well cut outs and undercut trigger guard, etc. 

In short if the parts that matter are truly compatible, it runs reliably, it rides well in a Glock holster, etc? And PSA gets the thing out the door for 299$ (and talked of additional models such as RMR and suppressor ready are likewise well priced)? Unless you're just not a fan of Glocks I'm failing to see a downside to buying this over a Glock, assuming of course the thing delivers.

Did they have a PSAK-74 prototype at Shot Show?  I know they have talked about that coming down the pipeline.  

They did have a prototype of the PA5 (MP5 clone).  They said it would be out in 2020.  There was also an AR-V 9mm carbine out.

Keltec Sub2000, integrally suppressed, folding rifle.
That Sub2000 has my interest.  An integrally suppressed 9mm sub-gun with an MSRP of $1000.  Not much more than buying a larger 9mm suppressor.  They said they hope for 2nd quarter or summer availability. 

The Diamondback 5.7x28 carbine looks like a really lightweight little carbine to backpack or carry around for varmints.  They said it was 3.5 lbs.  I will have to watch the reviews later to see how it does in the wild.  

And I am not sure why I care, but the SA Saint folding AR looks interesting simply due to the compact size is breaks down to.  I can't see buying one, but it is still interesting.

So I guess Sig has this new XFive Legion at the show, and I read the headline to this article: "Sig Sauer’s New XFive Legion Pistol Is Designed for Lightest Possible Recoil" and I'm thinking, "What did they do? Something with the gas system, or some other internal components, or what?"

No, they just gave it the weight of a 1911.  :laugh:

One of the first things I did when I moved to Idaho was buy the lightweight 1911 for carry that I couldn't have in CA. But I guess I'm behind the times again, and heavy is in.  =D

Heavy is in with the gamers, who pay a premium to shave a fraction of a tenth of a second off their shot split times. In the real world, most people who carry a firearm are happy to have a few ounces less on their belt.

Sig has had the Legion line out for a few years now.  The X5 must be their latest gun to get the treatment.  You're right, though, all they do is add weight and maybe make it optics ready.

Post by: MechAg94 on January 23, 2020, 07:04:16 PM
I have handled one of the competition Legion pistols at a gun show and that one was not heavy.  It was about the same as the standard P320.  I figure it would make a good shooter if I wanted it, but it was a large pistol for either competition or as a range toy.

Palmetto State Armory sure seems to be expanding into a major firearms manufacturer.  Their AR-15 rifles have gotten cheaper and better quality (for reliability at least).  They have expanded into AK's and 9mm carbines in 2019.  Now, they will be putting out better AK's in multiple calibers, 9mm AR carbines, a $299 9mm Glock clone, and an MP5 clone and all made in the US and supposed to come out in 2020.

Brownells has an AR lower designed to match up with their BRN-180 upper with picatinny rail stock adapter instead of buffer tube threads.  I saw it on their site for only $150.  Cheaper than buying stock adapters and I can use the stock adapter I have on something else.

I wonder how hard it would be to get a 10.5"-12" barrel to work with tat piston system.  That'd be kinda neat in pistol form with a side-folding brace.

Agreed.  I have the rifle version.  I sort of wish I had waited for the short barreled upper.  I am torn between that and the CZ Bren 2 pistol at about the same barrel length.

I noticed this video last night.  Looks like Robinson Armament is making a limited run of M96 rifles (Stoner 63 copies). 

Are any of you familiar with with this?  Some reviews say the rifle is really good.  The $2500 price seems a bit high.  The top feed is more.

A video of the new 21A's with various versions in a Sig-bow of colors.  The guy also mentions that most or all of these will be available in .32 Tomcat versions. I wonder of the resurgence* of CCW as normal coupled with bullet tech improvement is going to fuel a comeback of the smaller caliber firearm.

*resurgence in this case as compared to when .32, .25ACP, and .380 were designed and marketed the first time.

One thing I didn't notice earlier was the 500 blackout rifle.  50 caliber 911 grain bullet fired out of a cut down case at subsonic velocity.  Not sure how good or useful it would be, but it looks interesting.

A couple things I saw and was reminded of from SHOT show that looked interesting.

A bullet proof or resistant hoodie.  The pictures make it look thinner than it probably is.

FOLDAR
Completely folded AR that fits in a small bag.  Most AR's like this, the barrel separates from the receiver.  This one is all folding and deploys pretty fast.
