SHOT Show (the industry’s largest Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show) is always quite a whirlwind of activity, people, products, information, events and meetings. The 2020 show, Jan. 21-24 in Las Vegas, was no different. And, as always, it’s very difficult to try to capture the SHOT Show experience in a few hundred words. It’s also quite a challenge to try to narrow down some of what I learned and discovered at the show. But here’s an attempt at a recap and a small glimpse into a very full week of industry awesomeness!
Dawn, are you aware of the last round stovepiping issue with the S&W Shield EZ 380? Was very interested in obtaining one for my EDC, but now i’m not sure it would be a good EDC weapon. Any thoughts?
I hadn’t heard about the stove-piping, @Stephen_W. I know a few people who carry it and love it. Is it a certain batch or is it looking like they are all doing that? We have one at the range where I work and I’ve never seen or heard of it stove-piping. And that weapon gets a LOT of use.
I wonder if it’s from needing to be cleaned or maintained?
First saw the issue on utube on hickock45’s page. He is a well respected shooter and very unbiased on any and all firearms. After seeing this I saw quite a few utubers experiencing the same issues. It seemed it only happens on the last round, even though that is still a troubling issue. I have a Beretta Cheetah 380 and was interested in the Shield but maybe I will just stick with the Cheetah. Thanks for your response.
