Jeff with Weatherby's Orion 20-ga side-by-side shotgun.

Detail view of the beautiful action and engraving found on Weatherby's Orion.

Ruger displayed their new line of "Gold Label" side-by-side doubles. Beautifully built with no exposed screws or pins, the Gold Label appears to be the equal of guns costing many times its price.

The Ruger Gold Label is very lightweight and handy, using thin-walled barrels and a slim action. The 12-gauge version weighs only 6-1/3 pounds!

Thin-wall choke tubes used by Ruger in their Gold Label allow substantial weight reduction and clean lines.

Jeff with the girls at the Taser International booth. Ol' Jeff has a tough job, as you will see!

Taser International's remote taser gun has been adopted for use by both American Airlines and United Airlines for protection of their pilot cabins in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

For some reason, Jeff agreed to let one of the Taser International girls demonstrate their product on him! He was quite unprepared for the level of pain caused by the one-second burst.

Jeff immediately folded and dropped on his butt, unable even to scream in pain! Jeff is definitely a believer in the effectiveness of Taser International's product. He later said it wasn't the first time he'd been hurt by a woman, but it was the worst!

Stephanie Carey of Freedom Arms displays one of their newest guns, the Model 97 .22 revolver. Built on a smaller frame than their Model 252, the Model 97 combines a handier size with Freedom Arms' legendary accuracy, beauty and ruggedness. Look for a complete evaluation of the Model 97 in the near future!

...as well as a new line of super-strong cases.

Our pal Jason Cloessner with Lipsey's distributors. Jason is showing Jeff a nice-looking new stainless 1911A1-pattern .45 ACP pistol from Charles Daly. This new .45 features many custom touches usually found only on expensive pistols, but at a very reasonable price. Lipsey's distributes many limited-run firearms from all the major manufacturers. 

Jeff with Armalite's AR-180 .223 carbine.

Armalite's AR-51 .50BMG semi-auto prototype. Armalite is currently evaluating whether there is enough interest in this gun to go into regular production, so if you'd like to see this rifle on the market, let 'em know at www.armalite.com 

New from Glock is the "Glock Lock", a handy keyed device that locks the slide. A nifty appeasement to legislators and trial lawyers, the device includes a tactile indicator (seen protruding from the back of the grip), and the key leaves an unobtrusive slot in the bottom of the grip cavity so you'll hardly notice it after you throw the key in the lake where it belongs! The Glock Lock will be immediately available on most of Glock's line.

Jeff checks out Franchi's Veloce 20-gauge over-and-under shotgun. Weighing in at only 5.7 lbs, this extremely handy little gun handles and swings well.

Jeff was very impressed with Franchi's Model 48 AL 28-gauge semi-auto shotgun with English grip stock.
