SHOT Show 2024: Best New Gear Coming This Year
The crew from Vedder Holsters spent SHOT Show 2024 checking out all the new products in the world of firearms. And there were a TON of exciting new pistols, rifles, and shotguns that we’re excited to get our hands on.
But SHOT Show isn’t just about guns. It’s also about the latest and greatest gear, accessories, ammunition, knives, and even food – they’ve got it all! So, without further ado, here are some of the standout products we saw at SHOT Show 2024 that you may want to check out.
1. Longshot Target Camera: The Ranger
One of the top scanned items at SHOT Show this year was the Longshot Ranger – a compact camera designed to let you see your shots in real-time during training so you never have to leave your shooting position.
This easily transportable camera has a range of up to 100 yards and is equipped with 5G WiFi capabilities, so you can connect it directly to your phone and see a live feed of your shots and adjust as necessary. This is a pretty cool training tool and retails at only $199. We’d say that’s a win!
2. Holosun SCS Carry
If you’re like us and can’t get enough of Holosun optics, then get ready. After the company’s great success with its solar charging rifle light (SCRS), it decided to release a version for compact pistols: the SCS Carry.
Not only is this pistol-mounted optic solar charged, but it also features an impressive 20,000-hour battery life. It is designed with a multi-sensor auto brightness system to make sure you can see in a variety of lighting situations while also allowing you to manually adjust if desired. Keep an eye on Holosun’s website for updates on when this will be available to the public.
3. Huxwrx Flow Ti 22 Suppressor
It wouldn’t be a complete list without a new suppressor, and the Huxwrx Flow Ti 22 truly deserves a shout-out. This isn’t your typical rimfire silencer, either. Compact and lightweight, this fully titanium suppressor measures 5.5 inches long and can suppress everything from 22LR up to 5.7x28.
The Flow Ti 22 weighs 3.9 ounces, has a full-auto rating, and no barrel restrictions. It also has zero backpressure, reducing the amount of toxic gas that blows back toward you. It’s already available for pre-order, so check it out!
4. Winchester E-Tech Shotshells
It’s always great when you can enjoy your hobbies without negatively impacting the environment. And Winchester has made serious progress in that area with the release of its new E-Tech shotshells.
These 12-gauge shells are loaded with wads made from bio-polymers that look and perform like traditional plastic without harming the environment. With consistent muzzle velocity, expanding gasses are tightly sealed by the wad, and are engineered to withstand extreme pressures upon firing. Definitely a win!
5. Benchmade Adira Water Series Knife
There’s no doubt about it. Knives are a HUGE part of SHOT Show. And while there are a ton of great new knives hitting the market in 2024, one of the biggest standouts was Benchmade’snew water series, including the Adira.
This new folding knife is specifically designed to be carried in and around water and is made with MagnaCut steel which is highly rust-resistant. The full-size Adira has a 3.88-inch drop point blade and a nice blue handle, which is not only functional but aesthetically pleasing.
Summary
There was an endless amount of new gear on display at SHOT Show 2024, but the above items really stood among the rest as especially unique, innovative, or just plain cool products. If you like any of the above items, keep an eye on the manufacturer’s website or wait for them to hit the shelves of your local gun store later this year.
