So far I have not been able to find anything of interest in the online reports. More ARs , Tactical crap, polymer, nothing, from Colt yet. Pretty ho hum. How about showing a pile of 22 ammo that would be nice. Would think there would be something of interest from Ruger. S&W ,despite the fact I would not buy anything from them ,at least realizes the revolver is not dead. 9 mm revolver, the return of the model 66 ,and a 5 shotL frame sized 44 mag. Hey Colt did you notice that? Well will wait and see ,but so far not much for Colt handgun fans

It seems like if it ain't black, or holds a bunch of ammo, or has the word "tactical" in the name, nobody cares. Give me some blued steel and wood any day.

gunblast does daily updates ,but so far only the media day stuff,which looks like a Soldier of Fortune convention. Since I am living in NY ,this stuff has zero interest to me unless the SAFE ACT is overturned. Even then the ARs have little interest to me. You would think the only firearms in the US were ARs ,and of course everyone has access to full auto and suppressors. So far a big zero,and no word on anything from Colt

I checked that link, front page has a list of the sponsors, I was surprised to see S&W was the only gun manufacturer listed. If this is the bigger than life "Show & Tell", I would expect everyone that is trying to wine and dine the gun owners, to have a presence.

Those are only the NSSF sponsors .
Almost every gun/ammo/holster/reloading /etc/etc/etc manufacturer is set up there .

That 73 was pretty.

Nothing that leapt out at Colt.
Good chat with Brent, good news on the CS expansion, at least.

And NO new DAs.

Thanks for the info.

Did you happen to ask what is happening with the Florida property?

DPris

· #20 · Jan 18, 2014

Yup.

I'd asked my two main Colt people before going, and I asked again there.

Two said "Dunno", one said "We're exploring options".
Best I can get.
