More Info on SHOT Show

The SHOT Show (Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show) is an annual trade show for the shooting sports, hunting, outdoor recreations and firearm manufacturing industries. The show is owned and sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), and is the biggest event of the type in the world. The SHOT Show is restricted to formal members of the shooting, hunting, military and outdoor trade industries, including commercial buyers and sellers of military, law enforcement and tactical products.

The first ever SHOT Show was held in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1979. It used to rotate between Las Vegas, Nevada; Orlando, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana, and several other U.S. cities, although since 2010 it has taken place only in Las Vegas at the Sands Expo and is contracted to remain there through 2027. It attracted over 60,000 attendees to its 630,000 square feet of exhibition space in Las Vegas. It is among the top 25 trade shows in the US.

Boot Review: Rocky S2Vs

Lt. Frank Borelli (ret), Editorial Director

May 8, 2012

I know it's never a smart idea to select a pair of boots based on how they look, but the Rocky S2Vs just looked tough. Even more years ago there was a time when the only boots I'd wear on duty were my Rocky 911s, so I was a big Rocky Boots fan back in the day.

As I used it there was more than enough room for my laptop, camera, business cards, extra pens, notepad, SHOT Show floor map, and all of the CDs, media kits and other miscellaneous items I received.

Top group, shot with Federal 125 grain Nyclad, was high and left at 7 yards using open sights. The bottom group, also with the Nyclad, was shot at 5 yards using the laser.

The Other New S&W Bodyguard

Overall, I think the Bodyguard 38 has a great deal of potential, but it needs more work. For now, I'll stick with my trusty J-frames for backup carry.

The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380

Steve Denney

Oct. 14, 2010

All in all, the Bodyguard 380 is certainly worth serious consideration, for those who are looking for this type of pistol. I think it will live up to its Bodyguard heritage.
