This year’s SHOT Show seemed to have finally shaken off the cobwebs of COVID and returned to a resemblance of normal. The show extension at Caesars Palace, which we previously dubbed the “halls of woe” were bustling with life, too. Overall, this year seemed to be one of production, with companies finally being able to make what they dreamed up over the times of lockdown, but there still was plenty of new and shiny.
As we’ve done at previous SHOT Shows, we handed out awards for standout product releases in four categories:
Best of Show
Best Firearm
Best Accessory
… and our personal favorite, Best of the Basement
As usual, the discussion surrounding the winners was lengthy, and what you see here only covers what we got handsy with at SHOT Show. But just because we saw a product’s potential doesn’t mean it’ll live up to its maker’s claims — you’ll see full reviews of each in upcoming issues to get the real scoop.
As always, the awards themselves are provided
