View Full Version : Lots of new products dropping, is anyone excited or care?
With Shot cancelled is anyone excited about all the new products that seem to be releasing or is everyone to busy with the post election blues and just focusing on what hawaiian shirt they are going to wear during the pending boog? I am really digging the new Magpul Stock the PRS Lite, but I really think about how much I shouldn't look at this and optics and instead just focus on getting all the ammo I can and laying low. Thought it would be interesting to get everyone's thoughts on this.
Outside of ammo and primers/components I don’t care. What good are all the new toys if you don’t have the rounds to run then. Much like a new car with no gas.
I’m not very interested in some new stock, but this seems like a perfect time to update or catch up with optics and lights. Trying to find even steel cased in stock at under a $1 a round seems pretty pointless right now.
Honestly if you have a few mags of the good stuff for your primary pistol and rifle and a case of M193 you are highly unlikely to loose a gunfight from running out of ammo.
If you don’t have any ammo stocked up you need to try to find enough to keep some practice going. But also start a dry fire routine, spend more time with less ammo on a precision rifle, focus on another hobby for a bit, etc.

Any one have a good place for a listing of new stuff from the Not Show?
Never cared about accessories and could never spend hundreds on something I can't physically touch, hold, use..... So yea most of my stuff is circa 1998

I've been a voluntary tactical luddite for too long now - the MOE-K2-Thicc grip seems nice, but something that could have just as easily debuted in 2015 when I cared. There is some cooler stuff if I wanted to upgrade any bolt guns.
The SOG TacticalPopSocket actually seems cool... but it's bad when that's the most exciting thing I've seen.

I agree with you. I have been stocking up on magazines and ammo here and there. I just got 600rds of 55 grain for .59/per that I paid for a few months ago on back order and should get 500 rds of 75grain soon. I have enough to get me through the gunfight for sure, with all my rifles, but as a person who often shoots at least once every 2 weeks, it hasn't been that easy. At the same time, I think about upgrading my BCM and with a geissele trigger, or replacing the old scout light with the new dual fuel. My one DD still has an older Primary arms red dot that I keep telling myself I'll replace with an Aimpoint. I know these are relatively trivial things, but I feel as though if I can't or wont be able to train, or shoot as much, that I could pay attention to these needs...or should I say wants.

I really haven't see a list of any sort, outside of TFB posting videos.
Lol, Hawaiian shirts are so 2019, we're wearing Hawaiian masks and viking horns now. ;)
I mean, I usually spend some time here and there browsing Soldier Systems, since they seem to have news on most/all of the new product drops.
I'm not seeing anything that's like WHOA, must have!
The PRS slimmy looks like an interesting upgrade, but I've got no need. Also the new Leupold deltapoint micro is interesting, if it works. I think there was one or two other things beyond that, which I have apparently already forgotten about.
I don't know, I mean, I kinda got over the whole SHOT show hype-fest after realizing that 30% of it is Military stuff I'll never use, 30% is so hilariously expensive and/or overpriced I don't care, and 30% is just "stuff" that you know you'll never see again after SHOT because it's either a rehash of existing/better/previously established product, or just plain pointless and stupid/useless. 8% is 'future tech' that is cool sci-fi stuff, fun to look at and think about how it may change/improve things 'someday' but currently vaporware and also kidney-expensive.
The final 2% are the very f***ing few items that fit either the "holy shit that's brilliant, why didn't I think of that" or the genuine improvement or new non-rehash product that actually fits a need no current product does, that you gotta have.
I got nothing against innovation, but, ugh already.
I feel like a lot of things are 'innovation'.

Agreed, and there is a Savage 10 I have that could use some love
TFB TV has some good videos going with e new stuff. I’m really liking the new Magpul drums but they are out of stock everywhere I’ve looked. And the redesigned B&T VP9.
I’m looking forward to picking up one of the new Streamlight TLR-7 sub lights for my G43x MOS.

This is probably more accurate of the shot show stuff for sure. I appreciate the things that come out lighter, or more quality for less price, but I have taken enough classes to know that it is the Indian and not the Arrow.
No.

Not coming until 2022 but magpuls new 9mm foldable pistol/carbine looks neat. Prob going to be pricey, but good option in a discreet bag etc. Project with ZEV

I have also been buying more 22 cal guns just so i can shoot more. Bought a Tippmann M4-22 a while back and have a Taurus TX22. I wont buy a Taurus for anything more than a fun gun, but their new TX22 Competition looks really good. has RDS mount, match barrel and wont be too expensive. I was very surprised by my TX22 it feeds everything i give it, trigger is good, and allows me to get a lot of reps in when i otherwise couldn't due to ammo availability/prices. I have a ton of 22lr
Is anyone introducing quality ammo for less than $1 per round? That's all I'm really interested in.
I like the looks of the new Magpul MBUS 3 but other than that, no.
Been lurking a lot the past few years, so this is a little out of the blue. Other than ammo, not really interested in anything. Also, might be a better idea (to me at least) to start saving some money to go towards the groups that might/will be fighting upcoming legislation.

"Vapor-Ware" is something we are all familiar with. Government-induced vapor-ware is quite possible in our near future. So, not only do I view stuff from SHOT as "I'll believe it when I see it for sale and available" it is now even less likely.

YouTube.
Most of the manufacturers are rolling out videos for their new product launches.

Yeah I’m not getting too excited about a lot of this stuff for that reason.
None of this shit is going to be in stock anywhere anytime soon, so I'm firmly in the "don't care" camp

I'm interested in trying out the thick Magpul grip to compare it to the Luth-AR I'm using now. Seems to possibly benefit my style of longer-range shooting. The PRS Lite is intriguing- I have Colt 901 with a 3-9 scope that's pretty accurate and I've thought about using it with a UBR2 for more stability. The Aimpoint Comp5b looks awesome, but with the adjustable caps for the Micros available from FCD I'll save my money.

"Here is this cool new product that you wont be able to get for at least a year."
Yeah, that makes me real excited.

Nothing new specific to 2021 but I am getting into NV thanks to Robert from JRH. Looking forward to getting into the world of darkness :cool:

I'd prefer $.28/rd ammo dropping, for what I ALREADY have, personally...

Is this any different than the Ranger 64gr?

I incorrectly thought the Ranger came in .223 only.

Well they will both be unobtainable, so they have that in common.
But to directly answer your question: No, it doesn't look like there is much difference.
The cost of new firearms has risen to the point where I mostly don't care. Plus anything shown today may not be in shops for another 6 months at least.
