Media Gallery: SHOT Show 2026
LAS VEGAS — The 2026 SHOT Show, the annual trade event for the shooting, hunting, outdoor, law enforcement, and armed forces industries, will take place Jan. 20–23 at The Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, Nevada. Organized by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF®), the show brings together manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and law enforcement professionals to explore products, technology, and industry developments.
This year marks the 48th annual SHOT Show and the 27th in Las Vegas, with total exhibit space spanning more than 830,000 net square feet across both venues. The show floor will host more than 2,800 exhibitors, including the fast-growing Law Enforcement section, which now occupies over 170,000 square feet.
SHOT Week events begin Jan. 18 and include the NSSF/HAVA Golf Classic, Industry Day at the Range, the Suppliers Showcase, and SHOT University™. Industry Day at the Range for media and invited buyers will be held Jan. 19 at the Boulder City Rifle & Pistol Club.
The exhibition features a broad range of law enforcement-focused equipment and services designed to enhance officer safety, operational efficiency, and departmental readiness. Past shows have drawn more than 54,000 industry professionals, including over 2,500 members of the outdoor and law enforcement media.
In addition to showcasing products, the SHOT Show supports NSSF programs that promote firearms safety, conservation, and responsible industry practices. Initiatives such as Project ChildSafe®, Operation Secure Store®, and Don’t Lie for the Other Guy® aim to prevent firearm theft and misuse, while government relations and educational programs advocate for lawful firearms use and public safety.
The SHOT Show exhibition floor opens daily at 8:30 a.m., closing at 5:30 p.m. (4 p.m. on the final day), and the Press Room is located in the Venetian’s Lando Ballroom, Level 4. Full schedules, exhibitor listings, and updates are available at SHOTShow.org.
