SHOT Show - Day 2

With only having 1.5 hours of sleep, I stopped by the Sig Sauer booth to take a look at what was new for 2012.  They had a few different 1911's, but they mostly had cosmetic changes.  Sig has added a slightly rounded butt which has the "Fastback" designation in the model name.  On Monday, Sig also release the P938, which is essentially a P238 chambered in 9mm.  Just by handling the P938, I would expect it to shoot similar to a P238.  The advantage of the P938 is the cost savings on ammo, since .380 ammo (around my area) is the same price as .45ACP ammo.

Passing the Kel-Tec booth, the smaller KSG Tactical caught my eye.  The representative was saying that the smaller size would be useful for a SWAT officer breaching a door, while I just think it's a coolness factor.

The Chiappa Rhino is an odd looking revolver that has been out for a while now, but I've stil haven't seen one at the range, or know of anyone that has one.  I liken the Chiappa Rhino to a English Bulldog or Pug, in which it's ugly, but cute.



Korth had a Damascus revolver that stopped me in my tracks.  

and a engraved Korth revolver



A quick pass past CZ-USA and I spot the Scorpion EVO 3 A1.  Yep, I want one.


Kimber had a few different guns that were "interesting".  Now it might just be me, but the Micro CDP looks a lot like a Sig P238 or vise-versa.  IMO, the Micro CDP is late to the game, as well as priced twice as high as it should. 


Sapphire Ultra II...No comment...



I stopped by Magpul to look at new Taticool stuff for a friend.  If you've an AR guy that doesn't have a shotgun yet because Magpul doesn't make stuff so that you can hang everything off of it, your prayers have been answered.  



If you are mechanically inept, you can buy a Magpul equipped 870 from Remington.

and don't for the the required door breacher

That's it for the guns, or at least from what I i remember seeing after looking through the the photo's on my camera's memory card, now I have to put some clothes on and got to SHOT for day 3.
