WaGuns goes to SHOT - 2018

[Massivedesign]

Ok, here is the official SHOT SHOW Thread from your servants here on WaGuns.

5 of us will be attending again this year; Myself, benja455, MadPick, cdoniguian, and PMB. Are any other members headed there?

We will be updating this thread with photos and summaries from what we saw, did, got etc.
We will also be using our social media:
- Instagram
- Facebook
- YouTube
- Twitter
- WaGuns.org Blog
We will also be dumping photos into an iCloud photo album: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0s5oqs3qG0PM12

Here is what you can expect:
Sunday - We all arrive in Vegas. Expect food pics, drink pics and general debauchery.
Monday - This is Range Day where we get to shoot and fondle all the new shit. Cell range out there is spotty, so don't expect anything from us until late afternoon. After that, it'll be more food, drinks, maybe some light nudity.
Tuesday - Day #1 of the Show. 630,000sf to cover, so little time. Photos on the fly, recaps at night. Side missions of procuring free schwag for PIF's. Evening events.. NSFW.
Wednesday - Day #2 of the Show. Similar to Day #1, but with more nudity. Wednesday evening, 3 of us part ways and head home.
Thursday - Day #3 of the Show. Only Steve and Mike remain. Mike doesn't take well to mobile tech, so it'll be up to Steve to cary the torch.
Friday - Final Day of the Show. Fevered running to catch all the stuff that may have been missed. Mike will be trying to buy stuff, Steve will be flirting with the booth babes.

The main reason why we go is BECAUSE WE CAN. This means that we will be your eyes and ears. Is there something special you want us to seek out? Some vendor you need to convey a message to? Let us know and we will do our best to help facilitate.

Most booths have to pay exorbitant handling/shipping for schwag left at show close. Much schwag can be had for the ask on that day...

Yup, even though selling direct at SHOT is a no-no, quite a few vendors offload tables of items on the final day. I think this alone is what is motivating Mike and Steve to stick around. Steve will have the PayPal account at the ready if something site-PIF-raffle worthy is offered up at a good price.

I can almost see why the first two get a free ride, but the last three? Loungers!!

I'm starting my suppressor collection this year. Very interested in who is offering the best suppressors for the best price.

Main interests:

1/2x28 for 5.56/.22wmr/.22lr
5/8x24 for 6.5 creedmoor/.308win
5/8x24 for .45acp/9mm

[MadPick]

5/8x24 for .45acp/9mm

Is that for an AR? It's an odd thread pitch for a .45, and the only 9mm I've seen with that thread pitch are my AR-9s with a shoulderless thread adapter.

Might be that I'm just a moron and I don't know common pistol thread rates for larger caliber pistol barrels.

That sounds more plausible.

What kind of .45 and 9mm are you talking about suppressing? Pistols, rifles, what?
