If you're interested in guns and survival gear, there's no better time of year than January. That's because this month marks the arrival of SHOT Show 2019, also known as the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show. SHOT is the world's biggest show of its kind, and as a result it serves as the perfect venue for companies to unveil their newest products. It's no coincidence that you'll see a sudden flurry of articles and social media posts about exciting new guns (and some weird ones) across the internet this week.
For those of us on the RECOIL OFFGRID staff, SHOT Show means spending a full week in Las Vegas checking out guns and gear, conversing with PR people, and taking as many photos as we can. We usually end up tracking more than 5 miles walked each day on the show floor bouncing from booth to booth, but we're certainly not complaining. It's an awesome show, and since it's not open to the public, we have a rare opportunity to cover it.
Tomorrow (Tuesday, January 22nd) is the first day of SHOT Show 2019, and it continues through Friday the 25th. We'll be there from open to close every day, and will be posting photos and video clips to our various social media channels. This live coverage from #SHOTShow2019 will be compiled into the gallery below as we post it, and updated automatically every few minutes. So, be sure to check back throughout the week to see the latest. You can also follow us directly on social media for future event coverage: @recoiloffgridmagazine on Instagram or Facebook.com/OFFGRIDmag.
PRE-ORDER NOW link in our bio today. OffGrid’s Bug Out Book. The Bug Out Book—Bags, Tools, And Survival Skills To Save your Ass In An Emergency. Inside You’ll Learn: At SHOT Show, we were able to handle and dry fire the new @BondArms_ Lever Action AR-15 prototype, and found it to be smooth and easy to use. Compared to a traditional lever gun, this rifle has a noticeably shorter throw that lends itself to rapid fire. This modern lever gun accepts standard AR uppers, AR mags, and Remington shotgun stocks. Read the full article on Offgrid Web, link in @recoiloffgridmagazine bio today! Stopped by @eotech to check out the new On Gun Laser (OGL). The compact form factor feels great, and we’re interested to try the adjustable-focus VCSEL laser illuminator. Every unit comes with a @modlitesystems ModButton Lite remote switch. #shotshow #shotshow2023 #recoiloffgrid #recoilmagazine #nightvision Why have night vision or thermal when you can have both? The @pulsar.vision Thermion Duo DXP50 includes both full-color 4K HD digital night vision and a 640x480 thermal sensor in a single rifle scope. Switching between the two modes is as simple as pushing one button, and the output from the other mode is shown as a picture-in-picture image at the top of the screen. #recoiloffgrid #recoilmagazine #thermal #nightvision #shotshow #shotshow2023 Faraday bags are useful for shielding electronics and maintaining privacy, but most of us don’t carry them around in our pockets every day — that may change. @offgrid_bags showed us their latest product, the Offgrid Switch Wallet. It features RFID protection for your IDs and credit cards, as well as an integrated Faraday sleeve for your phone. Just fold it open and slide in your device when you need to go off the grid. #shotshow #shotshow2023 #recoilmagazine #recoiloffgrid #faraday @ignikoutdoors showed us the latest version of their FireCan portable fire pit, which will be available starting in February. In addition to functioning as a portable fire pit for camping or overlanding, this version also has a removable grill insert for cooking burgers, hot dogs, and more. Last year at SHOT Show, we checked out early prototypes of the @valhalla.tactical ODA flashlight tailcap. This year, we tried the finished version, which includes sensitivity adjustment inserts to fine-tune the activation. There’s even an ODA tail cap made for the @clouddefensive REIN, shown here along with the Valhalla Tactical Baldr Hybrid XL body. This body accepts a Cloud Defensive REIN head and 21700 rechargeable battery for a claimed 50% increase in run time. #shotshow #shotshow2023 #recoiloffgrid #recoilmagazine As featured in @recoilmagazine Issue 64 and on OFFGRIDweb, @dillonaeroinc brought their 2021 Ranger technical to SHOT Show. Only this time, the M134D minigun has been replaced with a heavy 503D Gatling gun. This bad boy can fire up to 25 rounds of .50 cal per second. #shotshow #shotshow2023 #recoilmagazine #recoiloffgrid #fordranger Waste not, want not. @bubbagoosedesign is a Seattle-based startup making outdoor gear from material scraps that are discarded by bigger gear brands, like this duffel bag made from lightweight milspec Kevlar-reinforced nylon laminate. #madeintheusa🇺🇸 #recoiloffgrid #recoilmagazine #shotshow #shotshow2023 Here’s an unexpected find from the @bondarms_ booth at SHOT. This unnamed lever gun prototype is compatible with standard AR-15 uppers and mags, as well as Remington 870 shotgun stocks. @crkt_knives partnered with @hogueknives to create two new American-made CRKT folders, the Definitive and LCBK. Both feature 154CM steel and a sliding Crossbar lock mechanism that feels very familiar. #madeinusa🇺🇸 #shotshow #shotshow2023 #recoiloffgridmagazine #recoilmagazine We’re not just seeing the new @vertx_official Gamut Gen 3 pack at SHOT Show — we’re wearing one all week. It’s loaded with our usual EDC tools, med kit, snacks, and other work gear. #shotshow #shotshow2023 #recoilmagazine #recoiloffgrid Stopped by the @pofusa booth to see the new Tombstone 9mm lever-action PCC. #shotshow #shotshow2023 #recoilmagazine #recoiloffgridmagazine You asked for a view through the new @holosunoptics DMS, so here it is. The first two slides show the DMS-TH thermal with and without opaque front lens cover. The next two slides show the DMS-NV digital night vision. Today we got our first look at two very interesting hybrid optic prototypes from @holosunoptics — the DMS-TH and DMS-NV. At @shotshowrangeday today, we stopped by the @b_t_usa booth to shoot the B&T KH9 Covert. This 9mm PCC features a folding mag well and pistol grip that make it extremely compact — ideal for storage in an aircraft for use by a downed pilot, or for concealment inside a small backpack. Stay tuned for more guns and gear from SHOT Show this week! #shotshow2023 #shotshow #recoiloffgridmagazine Magpul recently announced a new modular rifle case organization system for Pelican, Plano, and other hard cases known as the Magpul DAKA Grid organizer. New: POF Tombstone 9mm Lever-Action Rifle. This modern lever-action PCC features a 20-round detachable magazine, M-LOK forend, Magpul stock, and Ghost Ring sites. Full article on Recoil Offgrid, link in the @recoiloffgridmagazine bio. The @ignikoutdoors Ignik FireCan is a collapsible, packable unit that allows you to bring 38,000 BTU of heat output wherever you need it, without the prep time or increased wildfire risk of an open campfire. Read the full scoop on the new Ignik FireCan Portable Fire Pit here on OFFGRIDweb, link in our bio @recoiloffgridmagazine. New: Juggernaut Case Plate Carrier Phone Mount 2.0. For many years, Juggernaut Case has offered a PALS Mount that attaches a smartphone to MOLLE-compatible webbing, but this week, the company unveiled Version 2.0 of the Juggernaut Case plate carrier phone mount with some cool new features.

Many mistakenly believe they are prepared to evacuate to survive a disaster. Unfortunately, they are not. It’s more than a matter of skill and a set place to shelter. The failure occurs even before they leave their home. How? Because they never amassed the proper supplies and gear to see them through.
The Bug Out Book smashes vague notions of the equipment required to evacuate, arming you with concrete strategies and proven gear to help you thrive during a disaster. Broken down into five essential categories of gear across 288 pages, you’ll learn the fundamentals of how to assemble bug-out equipment and utilize it to maximum effect. Furthermore, you get grounded in the equipment you need to have on your person at all times to see you through unexpected perils. Don’t let the world catch you off guard and flat-footed. Unleash your full abilities in the worst of times with the gear that will see you through.

The grill is designed to funnel grease down into a removable grease trap at the base of the FireCan. After a trip, you can put the grill and grease trap in your dishwasher for easy cleaning.
As with previous FireCan models, it’s designed with a quick-detach hose fitting for use with Ignik’s Gas Growler refillable propane tank.

The mechanism includes a unique asymmetric cam that generates variable leverage on the bolt to smooth out moments of higher resistance (i.e. feeding from the mag).
The lever also has dovetails that allow the loop to be swapped out to match various stock profiles, such as the Magpul SGA and Hogue stocks shown here. It also allows the user to switch from a small loop to a large loop without gunsmithing.
Bond Arms has been testing it with everything from .223 uppers to a .50 Beowulf upper over the course of the last year. They tell us they hope to release the finished version by this time next year.

Each optic can be used like a standard red dot with the secondary optic overlay turned off.
#shotshow2023 #shotshow #recoiloffgrid #recoilmagazine
These optics are based on the Holosun AEMS red dot architecture, and with the front cover flipped open, they work exactly like a traditional red dot. But when you flip the opaque front lens cover closed, output from a secondary optical sensor is projected onto the black window behind the red dot.
The DMS-TH (slides 1 and 2) features a thermal camera, and the DMS-NV (slides 3 and 4) has a digital night vision camera with onboard IR illuminator.
Check out our article on OFFGRIDweb.com for more details on the new Holosun DMS hybrid optics. #shotshow2023 #shotshow #recoiloffgridmagazine #recoilmagazine
The Magpul DAKA Grid case organizer consists of three pieces. It starts with a thin layer of bottom foam to provide cushioning, and tops this with a middle layer containing a grid of equidistant holes. Included sets of 10 double and 10 triple blocks can be inserted into these holes like pegs to create any layout you need. Best of all, they can be reconfigured in seconds if you want to change the layout.
