Any sight of the Kel Tec KSG shotgun? It is suppose to be released as of 2011, however I don't know any site that has them?

Any sight of the ATI AR-14 shotgun upper for the AR series rifles?


Thanks.

We're trying to track this stuff down the best we can! But it's a huge show!

x2. This seems completely irrelevant to 'overland travel' ... and I'm a shooter.

Perhaps, perhaps not.

There is generally alot to be gleaned from cross-discipline research. Firearms themselves are relevant in that personal safety is a fact of life, and more so when on the road. That being said, in case you havent seen SHOT, a large portion (1/3-1/2) of the floor space is non-firearms related. All sorts of outdoor (as in the title) gear, clothing, footwear, packs, tents, cookware, lighting etc.

No, it is very relevant.

I am there as well and have to agree. There is quite a bit of stuff that is very relevant to overlanding. Great gear, clothes, shoes, sleeping bags, packs, etc.

The place is huge and 3 days is not enough time.

Didn't make it this year, or last for that matter. Probably go next year. I'm the Creative Director at 5.11 and our catalog gets printed next week, so my focus has been on that. Its a great show!

At first I thought they were using them to pick up brochures but most seem to be very lightweight. Maybe a jacket or something in them. Any yes everyone seems to have them as well as tactical pants.

Next year they all show up with tac helmets!!!!

I have one of these. But I have my Springfield M21 308 semi-auto in there. Be sure to get yours engraved to personalize it. Amazing quality!

Best of Day One:

They're also releasing a line of protective cases for tablets, such as this iP
MAT_4258.jpg

Pelican is also starting to offer more LED lighting.
MAT_4270.jpg

Being it is the SHOT show, it would be inappropriate to not show any firearms.
MAT_4277.jpg

Nice shotguns.
MAT_4286.jpg

Perfect decor for your man cave.

One of my favorite items from the show is the Watershed backpack.

It has an insert that allows you to safely store photographic and other equipment.


A more thorough Benchmade update will be coming shortly, including a video of some yet unreleased product.

More updates will come shortly as we return to LIVE updates from SHOT 2012
