SHOT Show 2014 Pictures (From SMGLee)

I'm curious at the near ubiquity of FDE. Is anyone actually buying it aside from US civilians at this point?

It is called RAL8000. Bundeswehr uses it on G28 for example.

Any word on the HK293? I know I'm saving aside a good sized chunk of change to pick one up.

1-2 years with price target under $2000 ($1700 were mentioned) - look for Wayne Weber interview.

Any SR-47 sightings?

I really like the coupler type suppressor attachment.

It seems like carbon fouling could bind up that ball bearing coupling system. I wonder what they did to prevent this from occurring.

The smaller 308 was smaller than I expected. The keymod scout mount was also pretty slick.

You know, with all the awesomeness that KAC puts out, it still surprises me they haven't gone to a different pistol grip than the A2.

Figured they would have come up with something unique for the platform.

And then they would be picked apart on the internet by sycophants and bottom feeders who whine about a grip they've never touched or seen in person....kind of like our Daniel Defense thread.

An A2 grip is just smart business. The people who like them will keep them and the people who don't were almost certainly going to change the grip to whatever they like anyways.

I had customers start asking for RAL8000 about 2 years ago....has turned out to be a very popular color...and very neutral in our environment as well.

This is around time, when HK came out with G28 in RAL8000. As a curio, RAL8000 is same colour that Rommel's Afrika Korps used back in WW2.

This was my first time handling a Geissele SMR and I was surprised how small it felt compared to what I expected. It looks a little bulky in some pics, but even handling it immediately after the KMR, it felt great.

I'm looking forward to that MK5.

So what's the deal with the KAC wrist watch? A one of for the show? A promo?

There are so many options on the market that we don't want to be wedded to any single one, so we put on a simple, inexpensive, readily replaced option. The A2 grip is kinda like sights on a Glock.
Imagine it as a sign that says "grip goes here".
