Back from the shot show and boy are my arms tired

ajamesp51 · Feb 1, 2005

Well Actually I am sitting in the Airport. I can now say I hate Vegas, my feet are all tore up and the free porn they give out on the side of the street...really in not porn, just advertisments. Sorry about not being able to update the shot show information but the internet was a hassle here. To give you guys some info of what I will put up tonight once I get back to Alabama.

I met Whyane Novak and am the first person that is going to get to release the information on a new project that he just finished. Dont get to excited its 1911 related.

I met with Irv from barsto precision..and he has some new xd stuff comming out. Some more of the same info that was circulating around and some new.

Met R Lee Ermy, he was a cool guy.

The laser max stuff, I actually got to play with several and have some info on them.

The insight people

I got to play with the X2 and XD laser and have some good info on them as well.

The ISHOT people I got to see some new stuff, some I can tell you about others not. But some cool stuff none the less.

Springfield...whew there is a lot of information there. I am also going to need some one that can write a simple contract for me. If you want to be involved in a cool project and you can make a simple contract let me know.

Glock I got to play with I think it was the 38 a subcompact 45gap. It was a nice pistol.

Blue wonder, they have some new stuff comming out, I have some pictures and info for every one. Bob Price was a nice person to talk to and it was good meeting the blue wonder staff.

I found some new holsters for the XD lots of info to come.

I got to finally meet the people at Pearce grips, and maybe they will beging a grip plug. If you call them and let them know you really want them it would help with the release date.

The truglo people did not kick me out of the booth and I got to see and play with the TFO for the xd`s They are available and are shipping out now.

Ooooh... cool project.

Are the tfo for the xd better than the last available model?

ajamesp51 · Feb 1, 2005

there are no changes on the tfo except that there is no gap between the slide and the sight. other than that they are the same.

I would help with the contract, and look it over, but I am not at the stage where I can write one up for you... Maybe by May.

Here we go again......what is a TFO? :x

Hey James, did you get to do any Vegas stuff? Shoot any full autos or visit some gunshops? What did you see and eat?

Has Truglo got any plans of ever releasing a sight for Colt 1911s?

Hello AJames, it was great meeting you at SHOT Show. We appreciate your coming by and it was super to meet your lovely lady as well!

That show will wear you out! I thought being in the Armor Accessories booth, that we would be able to spend some more time walking the show, but that didn't happen. We were busier than we have ever been at SHOT. We got to meet Lee as well and you are right, he is a great guy! Very friendly. Our warehouse manager was the only guy from our company that didn't get to go to the show, so I asked Lee to call him and leave a DI message on Roy's voice mail. He did and it was great! He really gave him one of those first day of training messages he is so famous for! And now Roy has it on his voice mail to share with friends. Much better than an autograph he said! 8)

Springfield, as usual, has a lot of great things going on. More info to follow on that.

I ran into Ron Jung again as well. It is always great to see him!

All in all it was a great show. I hope to meet more of you guys at various events around the country this year!

Thats all for now!

Per the head engineer at TRUGLO, they are currently working on sights for 10 new guns, many 1911 style. They have the Kimber sights now.

Not sure if this helps or not.
