pmcimagazine.com Once a year, thousands of firearms manufacturers, federal firearms licensed dealers, Law Enforcement agency representatives and private military contracting companies descend upon a thriving oasis in the Nevada desert nicknamed “Sin City” or otherwise known as Las Vegas. The event, which draws all the attention from the firearms community, is the largest “Industry Only” trade show known worldwide as SHOT SHOW and once again Trampas and the US-based team were there to bring their report on all that’s “new and improved”! A t SHOT (for Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show) Show just about every firearms, ammunition and gear company on the market displays their wares over five days of festivities and excitement. The week includes an exclusive range day held at the Boulder City Rifle and Pistol Club on Monday followed by four days of multiple level indoor exhibition inside the massive Sands Convention Centre. This event offers miles of great industry people with thousands of new products to discover. As always, the PMCI team was there to cover the week’s action and bring our readers the highlights. BOOTS ON THE GROUND, VEGAS! The Swanson Media Group team, which most of our readers knows makes up a strong portion of the PMCI USA staff, rolled into Las Vegas on Sunday around noon to get settled into hotels and unpack. That night, everyone gathered for an evening of preplanning our attack on the week over a massive carnivorous dinner. At this point, everyone was given their assignments and had a chance to enjoy the close-knit brotherhood we share. 4
