SHOT Show Coverage Thread

[rugerglocker]

I'm still waiting for the Silencerco rifle can...where is it?!?

All I can guess is the name...I'm betting condor.

[GTFord1]

Looks like I made a good decision to put in an order with Major for a Stainless Sparrow instead of waiting to see if SHOT was going to offer anything magical in the rimfire world.

I'm still waiting for the Silencerco rifle can...where is it?!?

I saw twitter photos from Silencerco's booth. Only the 22sparrow was photographed. If they were there, we would know. They aren't coming for shot... puzzles the s--t out of me. I was waiting to see them before choosing to go AAC 762SDN... I guess I'll wait a bit, but if they planned on selling them sometime in 2011, they should have at least PREVIEWED them at SHOT.

Also, I'm going to bet that AAC tells current TiRant owners to bugger off on retrofitting. Seems like a pain in the ass to un-rockset/locktite/seal a bunch of customer cans. It's not good for anyone if they say that, it's just my guess based on their track record.

I asked about it on Facebook yesterday and they replied "Come by the booth and we will tell you".

Was this posted elsewhere? A new shotgun...

Interesting. Not sure of the level quality.

Wow man, welcome to two weeks ago

Everyone on the internet is excited for this. I've seen more "I'll buy one" comments than I would have ever expected. Likewise... I'll buy one. It's pump, how badly could they mess it up? It looks very similar to the Ithica 37 action, and I've never read a single bad thing about those. It would be better if the magazine tubes auto-switched when one was empty but I suppose if you're dumping 7 rounds into anything, another pump before 7 more should be the least of your problems.


Also, quick, someone go by Silencerco's booth and ask them WTF.

[este]

I would have liked to see an RFB bolt action. A single stack 9mm M&P. Innovative silencers. A non-gimped USC/UMP (instead, got a super gimped Taurus carbine). A Walther PPQ with the P99's AS trigger. Styer threaded M1A barrels.

Etc etc etc.

Agreed, but isn't that their shot show booth in the youtube video?

Anybody check this out? Now that somone has the chance to mess with it....is it what is expected or junk?

[este]

They released it pre-SHOT. Look on the shotgun forum here at ST.

If Keltec can manage to actually make these things, I expect it'll be fine. The RFB has had fewer issues than I would expect for such a radical/innovative product. They're good engineers... They're just pretty bad designers (aesthetics), getting better, but they're no HK in the looks dept.

[shocknawe]

Sir,

Our prices are WAAAAYYYYYYYYYY BELOW MSRP!

I'll PM you our price on the 762-SDN.

I'll try to get the measurements on the Ti Phantoms today and post 'em later!

I was hoping they would be, but you never know. I look forward to your PM and the phantom specs! Thanks for keeping industry outsiders such as myself in the loop.

Anyone got more info on Troy industries Integral 22/45 10/22: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd26DmPpUM4

Well, a Mini-AAC can is a no brainer looking at Ops and Surefire. If anything they are a little late to the party.

Kind of funny when you think about it. I was at Shot Show 2007 when AAC had thier Runt can on some Magpul Masada's. In reality everybody is catching up to AAC's idea from 4 years ago...


Yeah I drink the coolade but only cus it tase so good.

I likewise am pretty hesitant when it comes to brand new guns, but that Kel Tec shotty is a must have for me. That thing is sexy and brilliant. I was considering an 870 or a benelli but to hell with those now.

[jakjakman]

Looking at the Mini4 it's half an ounce lighter than the Surefire mini and adds only 0.05" more than the surefire. It's a good deal cheaper too. I think that's the one I want.

[Ctaylor]

hot DAMN the Mini4 is hearing safe on 14.5 barrels! Schweet!!

Yeah, who needs quality

[srt-4_uk]

The surefire is somewhat interesting, but it does not seem to have any new tricks that make it different, other than a pointy end.

You are thinking of the 5.56 suppressor. The 22lr suppressors are super light weight and take apart.

[TypeR632]

You guys think it would be worth it to have on a 12.5" setup? Or would it be a waste of money?

[renegade]

You know what would be cool?

If this thread actually had SHOT Show coverage in it.

at $895 MSRP (I'm sure major will have it for less) if length is a big concern for you, why not? I'd still shoot 5.56 with hearing protection with an M4-2k anyway, so no biggie for having to wear it for this.

Yeah, who needs speculative guesses on the quality of an unreleased product

You think new 870s are quality? Benelli is still at least 1/3 more for cost. Neither of those hold anywhere near 15 rounds. I'm sure Keltec won't have a problem selling these even without your recommendation.

I agree. Where the F--k is everyone? I know everyone has iPhones... so... wtf?

[MAJ MALFUNCTION]

Major,

Other than an official tool and probably the lack of adhesive on the endcap, is there any difference in 2010 Tirant and the new 2011 Tirant? A lot of us want to know if we will be able to send ours in for the authorized jailbrake and then be able to get it back with the tool? I would be happy to pay for their time and efforts.

We know how to do the unofficial jailbrake and if done properly, it works as well, but it would seem that this would be an easy way for AAC to show some loyalty to their customers and get some easy cash in the process.

Thanks in advance!

I talked to Mike @ AAC today (Mike in R&D, not Mike in sales). He showed me the new take apart Ti-Rants. The baffles are the same as the "old" can and the sound reduction is samey-same. I asked him about "old" Ti-Rant owners being able to send in their cans and get 'em "converted over" to a new "take-apart" can and he said he didn't see why it wouldn't be possible. But please understand, this is not a commitment from AAC to do so, it was just one of their guys telling me that it would SHOULD PROBABLY BE PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE. That doesn't mean they'll do it, just that it's PROBABLY POSSIBLE.

[wi75]

we need some db numbers on these Ti-Rant shorts! Like how they comapre to the longer versions.
