A few pics from day 3. I also finally met FN in MT and he was a really cool guy. I'm glad I got to meet him.
The annealing made perfect AMP with Dillon case feeder...
The 1911 on the right is estimated at $50,000. Some of the small parts are made from a meteorite. The pair of 1911's that are entirely made from the same meteorite cost a few million. The leftovers were used on this one.
Didn't James River Armory move to NC? I thought I read that somewhere.

The only thing I personally heard about that interested me this year was the black DLC Colt Cobra with bobbed hammer and front night sight. Probably would never replace my 2.5" 686-4, but it looked interesting.
Unfortunately I highly doubt Colt will ever get them out in quantity. I still haven't seen a regular stainless new Cobra in person.
The DLC Cobra felt good in hand. Trigger pull was smooth all the way through with no stacking. Better than a new performance center revolver I tried.

Camo rifles at ATN are airsoft replicas. Look like Steyr Tactical rifles

I got an exclusive interview with Bruce Gray. I’ll post the video in the next day or 2.
Thanks for all the questions and requests. Show floor closes in 20 mins and it’s been a great show.
See you all around. Been a pleasure helping out.

I literally ran into Bruce at the Springfield Armory booth and spilled coffee all over my shoe. He must have felt bad for me because he told me to meet him at the Sig booth for an exclusive interview. Enjoy!
18K of 10mm? No wonder why there's been earthquakes again in the west.
Great interview! Thanks to Tony and Mr Bruce.
They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

Thanks very much and for the quick reply. I'm glad to hear them say "for now". At least there's a chance.
I'll apologize for my ignorance and the thread drift, but what is a paddle mag release? I'm unfamiliar with the term.
God bless America.

A lever to push down for magazine release, vice a button you press.

Thank you so much gentlemen! Such great information you've shared and the Bruce Gray video was just awesome!
Going to have to get my hands on a P365 to see how they handle and give one of those P320s Bruce was talking about a try too. The P320s and I haven't really seen eye to eye so far so maybe this will be the one to sway me.
I have to admit the Colt Cobra you looked into for mbinky sounds really interesting too. I've been looking for any Colt Cobra to handle locally and haven't as of yet come across one to see or hold.

Colt rep said they were shipping cobras so hopefully you can get your hands on one soon. I liked them a lot.
