Highly doubt it - would require completely different lines.  My guess is they do something else new like a Shotgun.

Last year was the new Bolt Action rifle which although looked pretty cool, just finally started becoming available.

Seems like most manufacturers release things at NRA now.

Shot Show is kind of boring the last few years. Not much cool stuff comes out of it anymore.

I want
A Walther P99c Final Edition
A DA/SA S&W CSX
A Walther PPS M3

A super S&W PC 4006 and 5906 with melted slide frame, fiber optic sights, and Melonite finish.

I'm hoping to finally see production versions of the KSA 1903, I want to get one for the kid. Already have a first production run Mini-Mosin in the crate he's yet to get lol, he'll be 4 in a few months and isn't really mature enough for shooting yet. I'm hoping I can give him one for his 5th but we'll see.

They were supposed to be shipping in the 4th quarter.

This

What I'd like to see announced at SHOT 2024:

-Optic ready DWX, it should have launched with this feature.

-Colt MRR brought to the US. No indication that it would be-this is a pipe dream. I'll settle for them actually producing CCU railguns though.

-Franklin finally reintroduces the ACR, which also won't happen.

-Springfield SA-35 Detective.

-Quality, new production FAL magazines.

-AAC 5.45x39 ammo.

Start loading up on vitamin C/D/A/XYZ now

CZ P10 in 10MM.  They did a .45 a few years ago so the frame size is there.

Any company willing to make a sub compact 10mm, like a S&W Shield size.  There are plenty of options in .45, so why not 10mm.

A Ruger American Rifle with Irons.

CZ or Glock coming out with a Micro Compact 9mm that takes 12 plus rounds.

CZ to release made in the US BREN Rifles in 5.56 and 7.62x39.

Glock 43/43x in .357 Sig. or a Sig P365 in .357 Sig.

But I’m weird like that.

A lot of disappointment covered by the member who was allowed to change his name and does those annoying videos.

It'd have to be based on the 97B, which they discontinued IIRC last year, to have the right frame size.



I'd be happy just to see CZ establishing US production at all, since the whole deal in Arkansas fell through.

They make a few guns here IIRC.  I know the P10 and the new Scorpion 3+ are made here, at least in some aspects.  I always wondered if the Arkansas deal fell through because they bought Colt and just decided to use Colt's facilities for any additional US manufacturing.

Ha, I was hoping they'd expand Colt production when they did that because Colt never seems to be able to meet demand for their own products.

I just want some swag.

That's about how we all picture Ohio. Fitting name too.

Oof.

They still do SHOT?

More thermal clip ons.

TommyBuilt MP7 clones and M&P Shield-5.7

Shield 7.62x39 would be even cooler.

Which would essentially be a HK33K......

I am sure there is no interest of course but thinking along the same lines a MP5 PDW with larger magwell for 4.6mm, 5.7mm, or KAC 6x35mm would be a hoot. Never happen though.

ETA: Kind of similar concept to the .30 Carbine Thompson but using better ammo

PS90 in 9mm would be cool too.

would LOVE a flux for the 365. I have one for the glock and it's literally the only reason I own a glock. Nothing smaller is so shootable at bad breath to 100 yards and still fits in the glove box. to drop the top/FCU of my EDC into a chassis at night and turn my carry gun into a HD/Travel mini carbine? I would pay an unholy amount for that. . Where's Flux/Snakestaff crew, get on that!



also more micro 2011s. Cause I want to buy a CS next year and pay under 2k.

I think someone else in the thread mentioned it, but if not - I'd like to see the MKE HK91 and HK33 clones.

FB Radom GROT
Confirmation that Century will bring in MKE HK33 and G33, and tangible progress towards that
HK USA bringing in the G36 pistol that the German BKA approved for civilian sale

Primary Arms micro prism 3x with non chevron reticle options.

Perhaps even Glx glass.

Glock Performance trigger for all generations/guns.
HK45 in 10mm.

Just buy some 45 super ammo.

10mm fanbois just can't handle it.

Fuck if I wouldn't be excited for the Polish ACR

In my broke brain,  I was thinking that SHOT was really late this year

Any of those would be nice.

I expect nothing.

I would like a release date for the Holosun thermal sight.

I'd burn a hole in my credit card for another Scorpion but in 10mm

The 365 raider comes out this summer. They just released their gen 1.5 Raider X. They said the 365 is next. It’s supposedly billet with a folding stock of some kind.

@Jerad
Wait what? Can you link it? I follow their IG and stuff and didn’t see it.

I’ve always wanted to go to shot show.

Like it’s a bucket list item for me

You and me both.

I would like to see S&W come up with the “610/8”

I have some 8 shot .357 revolvers.
Some 610s, and some 45 Colt and 44 mag six shooters.

44/45 may be a stretch-
But I do think a few mms of increased cylinder diameter would allow for a safe 8 shot 10mm 610.

More factory threaded lever actions that don't have tacticool crap on them would be nice.

I'd like to see HK introduce optics ready versions of the P30 or USP.

I'd like to see more AR manufacturers get on board with factory PNW options with common suppressor mounts.

It'll be a winter of cold and death.  Wait, what?  Shot Show?  Meh, same thing.  

I think it's largely irrelevant as a trade show with social media now.  Why bother drowning your announcement with everyone else's when you can just slap some shit up on Facebook or Instagram and have all of your interested customers know about it immediately?

More big picture, "what I would like to see in 2024":

IWI
- Get rid of the guy that's turning everything into Costa-esque 3-gun bullshit.  He's fucked up too much at this point and I don't want any more IWI rifles with his "signature" design touch on them anymore
- Arad uppers/guns
- Tavor 5 that takes the Tavor 7 design improvements and applies them to 5.56
- Gen 3 Galil ACE that is more like the Gen 1 but with some of the "less plastic" from Gen 2.  I guess that's basically the Gen 1 with the KNS plastic delete kit.  Whatever.  That.  I want that.
- Unfuck the Carmel though it's too late for me as a customer
- Semi-auto Negev beltfeds, why not at this point

CZ/Colt
- Updated CZ-97B in .45/10mm with the SP-01 design improvements
- Bren 2 carbines magically become available again
- 6940P carbines become a regular production item

FN
- Fiveseven MRD Tactical, there's really no excuse at this point, though I bet we get a "High Power Tactical" first
- I kinda want a product-improved FS2000 though without a military counterpart they won't do it.  Probably fuck up the pricing as well

Springfield
- Honestly, keep up the good work.  2023 was a good year for them.  I even sorta want an Echelon now
- Spare parts for the VHS-2/Hellion would be rad
- Apply the new colors to the 18" and 20" barrel versions of the VHS-2/Hellion
- Call your bros up at Imbel and import FAL magazines in bulk if they still have the tooling

Cugir Romania
- Setup an exclusive US-importer like Zastava did and break the fuck up with the dildos at Century
- Import 5.45 rifles, both the pa md. 86/AIMS-74 rifle and the big boy md. 93 RPK
- Import 5.45 ammo and lots of it

Zastava USA
- Good year for them too, they're my favorite import AK and have been doing good at listening to what the market wants
- Looking forward to the M70 underfolder, I think they should do an M90 underfolder
- I would like to see the M21 imported

PSA
- Just keep doing what you're doing, so many things I want to buy as it stands now
- Get that steel case ammo plant running!
- Please send out an unambiguous message to the world that the MP5 is dead and everyone should go buy MKE or PTR guns and SHUT THE FUCK UP ASKING ALREADY

It’s on their FB. Ben has openly talked about it several times.

 As a new FFL, I found it tremendously beneficial to go to SHOT in 2023.  I had 4 distributors going in; I came home w/ 3 new distributors, PSA, and Blue Ridge knives.

Also came across the Turkish folding pumps, which one of my new distributors stocks, and I've been able to sell several of those easily.

I'm not going in 2024, but I expect to go again in the future.

Will this be the year of the Plasma rifle in 40 watt ranger debut

I want this so much. Will purchase.
