With today being the last day of SHOT, what were the new guns you were hoping for but didn’t see?
For me, I was really hoping for CZ Scorpions in other calibers, primarily 10mm and 45.
A Glock 26X MOS. I carry appendix so a long grip and short slide 26x would be great. I love my M&P 2.0 3.6” gun and was hoping to see a Glock equivalent. The MOS would have just been icing on the cake.
Sig 365 that is 5” in height with a 4” barrel. Essentially what the G48 is but with higher capacity.
M&P 2.0 CORE guns, or at least standard 2.0’s with milled slides.
While that was my wish list, I kind of got the bigger 365 in the G48 and I knew the 26X was a long shot, but really thought we’d see CORE 2.0’s and Scorpions in new calibers. I’m shocked on those two.
So what we’re you hoping for but did get? Here’s to crossing our fingers for next year!
My wish list was a little smaller. I really wanted to see Surefire or Streamlight put out a one thousand (or higher) lumen flashlight sized like the E2D Defender or the 2L-X that uses 18650 batteries. Likewise, I had hopped that Beretta would present a 92 Centurion but I knew not to hold my breath given the current offerings from Wilson Combat.
I knew I wouldn’t see one this year because of their success with the MP5 clones but I am looking forward to a PTR rifle chambered in 5.56.
Now, there were a few things that did catch my eye like the new ATI Galil (I’ll wait until other people have put thousands of rounds through their's before I buy one) and the MarColMar CETME-L.
Laughing in the face of danger is all well and good until danger laughs back.

I was really hoping for more on the PSA AR5, their MP5 clone. Sounds like realease is further off still and will be in the $1100 range. I was hoping it would be sub 1k

I really would to have liked to see an adapter for the Ruger PC9 Take down Carbine to accept Sig P226, 228, 229 magazines, as I'm more of a Sig guy than a Glock guy.
