Competition oriented stuff, SHOT 2016

I really didn't see anything new or exciting. There was the Sig 320, the Colt Competition (.45), STI 3-gun (9x19), endless variations of AR handguards, etc., etc. Yawn! Lots of companies I would have liked to see weren't even there. SVI, Phoenix Trinity, JEM, etc. About the only items I left with an itch to buy were long rifle- related.

What was so special with the STI 3Gun pistol as opposed to the DVC Limited? Pictures i seen was just the finish.

Nothing, really. That was my point. It's essentially the same gun with black finish (nitride?) instead of hard chrome and TiN barrel.

CK Arms was there with frames, grips, small parts, etc. But most here are already familiar with those. I did see a couple of new AK-type shotguns that were pretty cool But they are only avail w/5 and 10 round magazines.

Grand Power Pistols, SIG 320 Target, SIG Kilo, Burris XTRII 1-8, ATI polymer framed .45

I just picked up a Sig Kilo 2000 and like it so far. The auto brightness works great and the glass is clear. Havent gotten a chance to really put it through some work though.

Magpul released some Glock mags that are legal for limited and open without base pads.

Im curious to hear more about this if you may have pics or more details

Be careful getting too excited about the Magpul Glock mags. Some of the people who have been using them have had reliability issues.

Pretty sure that was only with the initial run of magazines (and the only one I own was from the first run, and for the record I had no isses.) Everything I've heard from recent/current owners is that they are working great.

I have a few of the mags for the 17. Only complsint is no witness holes to check rounds in the mag. Either all or nothing. I actually feel the mag is made better as far as durability goes than a Glock factory mag. I plan on picking up a few for the 19 when i find them in stock

I just started testing some of the Magpul mags. The no 10 round witness hole is really annoying when shooting production. I just drilled a 10 round witness hole in a few of the mags, it was really easy to do. It looks like the new 140mm and 170mm mags have multiple witness holes; I wonder if they'll add more witness holes to the 15 and 17 round mags.

Besides the initial run which had some issues, I haven't seen any bad reviews of the Magpul mags, but would be interested to hear of any issues others have had.

I haven't seen anyone talking about it, but I think the new Springfield XD Mod 2 5" could make a pretty sweet production! Comes with a front fiber sight, front cocking serrations, and the cool new full size Mod 2 grip, I've handled one of the smaller ones and the grip was really nice.

I like the XD's, but the "grip zone" written all over it looks cheezy as hell.
