SHOT Show Preview: New Items from the 2010 NASGW Show in Louisville

by Jeff Quinn

November 5th, 2010

 

For many years now, we have covered the SHOT Show with lots of pictures of interesting new firearms and related items that are introduced at that show every Winter. Starting in 2009, we started covering the NASGW Show, as several new items are introduced by the manufacturers there each year to the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers. The manufacturers set up displays of new items to show to the wholesale distributors, to give them an early view of what will be shown to firearms retailers at SHOT in January.

This week we saw some very interesting items, some of which we can post the pictures here, and a few items that were taken out from hiding behind the displays, of which we cannot discuss at this time. Below, you will find pictures of some of the good stuff, and some will have to wait. I have a couple of new items whose images are floating around in my head, and might have to be stored there for a couple of more months, but am sure they will be greeted by shooters with enthusiasm when properly introduced to the public. For now, have a look at the new items shown to the wholesalers this week.
