Shot Show

I think Ruger is going to slap a pair if CT grips on the new 357LCR. Taurus has a polymer framed Public Defender out now. S&W is not planning anything really new this year to my knowledge. The New Bodyguard got kind of a lukewarm reception by most people and IMHO won't last more than a couple years. This is probably going to be a dull year for shot show with the known exception of the KelTec bullpup shotgun.

However, they COULD easily steal the show by simply showing up with the alot of current product line "sans ILS."

It would be awesome and leave all the ILS guns in the same category as "New Coke." Bring back the original formula before everyone switches to Pepsi... I mean Ruger! Think about S&W.
 
My engineer friend at S&W says that there will be some new items but apparently nothing revolutionary.

He wouldn't go into details, management does NOT appreciate employees leaking info. Don
 
X-frame

Anyone know why there has been so little done with this frame. I liked the 500 but was not all that into the 460. Still you would think that they would do more with this.
 
I'm going to the SHOT Show again this year and I'm looking forward to it.

I agree that the S & W Bodyguard 38 is nothing to write home about but I do like the Bodyguard .380 Auto they brought out. I thought S & W did a nice job on it and it is selling very well in my area.

As always I hope to see more non-IL revolver models from S & W... :)

Ruger has their new small LC-9 9mm L. handgun that I want to look at.

Colt is supposed to be bringing back the Colt New Frontier Single Action Revolvers which I am interest in but Colt is also supposed to be introducing the Colt SAA revolver in Stainless Steel which I have no interest in....

Winchester for 2011 has the Model 1892 Lever Action Carbine in .357 mag, .44 mag, 44/40 and .45 Colt for around $1000 MSRP (much better than the $1,500+ models that Winchester has been bringing out lately). I want to take a look at it as I think I may have a .44 Magnum and .45 Colt 1892 carbine in my future.... :)

I'll also be interested in seeing the new Browning 1911 .22 LR handgun that they are bringing out and as this is 2011, I expect to see numerous "100 year specials" of 1911 items at the Show.

I have my walking shoes ready to go...... :) :) :)

I've long thought that a 9 or 10 shot .357 on this frame size would be a LOT of fun! It'd be heavy enough to negate a lot of recoil, and if a guy wanted to lug it around, it might be cool for IDPA!
 
I wouldn't be surprised to see a 6 shot Bodyguard 327 Magnum, or a Bodyguard 38 without the laser. I personally love mine and it has been a really good carry gun.
 
I want a 5 shot L-frame 44 special with 3" or 4" barrel lengths to choose from. With NO DAMN LOCK.
 
If S&W decided to release a bunch of models without the ILS, it would almost outshine the 100yr anniversary of the 1911!
 
Just heard a rumor that Taurus is going to possibly be introducing a 28ga Judge model.
