My buddy is going to shot and promised to send pics of the new stuff. Any rumors as to what is coming out?

Don't let you take pictures.

I've been there the past two shows and that is the general rule, however, like most rules, a few violate it.

I will go again in Jan as a flunkie, my son is LE with a private, off-duty business teaching snipers and I can follow along!

Lots of fun seeing all the new stuff and occasionally a well known shooter or shooting industry individual. Don

Can you purchase firearms at the shot show?

I have it from a good source at Glock that they have three brand new guns coming out in 2013, but source could not share any of the details.

The Glock carbine? Bad timing if they finally do it.

No. No way at all to do that. First of all, none of the guns are functional, the firing pins have to be removed from everything for safety. Most things are arranged for the big buyers who see the new merchandise and place orders with the manufacturers. If you see a gun from a smaller company, you can probably make arrangements for purchase and delivery at a later date.

While being in the firearms business can get you into the show, some meetings are strictly limited attendance wise.

You can buy some smaller merchandise usually on the last day because they don't want to have to pack it all up and take it home. Don
