Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. As I reflect upon my 2020 SHOTCHO experience, I have noticed that there are a lot of trends taking place. And this is nothing new. Every year there are these new trends in the gun world. I remember in the past it was all about CERICAL COLORING. Every gun, CERICAL RED, green, sand, you name it. All these CERICAL COLORS. And I've noticed that that has cooled down a little bit. But these other trends are on the Uprising. And I want to share those with you right now. First, optic ready handguns. This is nothing new, but what I am seeing is that every company is making their version of an optic ready handgun. This is a SkyCPX2. It comes with a crimson trace optic. But every company is making it. It's a huge market right now. People like the idea of putting a dot on target and pulling the trigger and they feel accurate with that. And many people have eye problems and they say it really helps. That is here to stay and it's only going to increase with time. Another thing that I've noticed is that there is a huge upsurge with revolvers. Now we saw what Colt did. This is a King Cobra target model. We saw what they did with the Python. Kimber came out with a K6S with a 4-inch barrel. Smith and Wesson is always strong. Torres came out with a couple of new ones as well as many others. Revolvers, I don't know what's going on with that. But a lot of companies are making their version of these very nice revolvers. And they're reaching that market. I think that's something we're going to see a lot in 2020. Another thing that many people don't think much about unless you're actually into precision rifle shooting, it is a huge market. And people spend an incredible amount of money building the perfect rifle to reach out to 800 to 1200 yards and hit that target that is this big. And even the optics are $3 to $4,000. Because these people are paying in their training and they're getting involved in this competition that is huge. It's really big and it's growing like I've never imagined. So that area, if you're into it, you know what I'm talking about. If you're not, keep your eyes open because you're going to see some of these beautiful high-end rifles that are being built in and they just love it. Another thing that I noticed are short firearms, chambered in, shotgun loads. Now Mossberg came out with the shockwave a couple years ago, Remington followed up with the TAC-14. Here's a semi-auto TAC-13 that I love. It's got the Versa-Max system. It's a semi-auto. It's extremely reliable. But so many other companies are doing it. And that is attracted to people who want a home defense firearm, but they don't want the big shotgun. So they can have this. It's called the firearm. It's short, but the shotgun loads are very effective. Speaking of that, speaking of the shotgun loads, I am also seeing a real uprise with the 410 chat shell right here. All right. Here's the Winchester PDX-1. I recently showed the effects of this on some ice with my Henry Leather Action Axe in 410. The ammo is expensive, but maybe it won't be as expensive if you know you're seeing Marlon, Remington, the Henry's, and so many others making shotguns in 410. I don't know what's going on there. I know the turkey loads are very popular, but it's light recoil. And like I said before, everybody in the family can use it because it is a softer shooting shotgun load that people love. 5.7 by 28 millimeter is on its way back. Now people think that the Ruger 5.7 really caused this. They did to a degree, but it never really went away. Now we know the 5.7 by FN was a big seller. They were like the only firearm, but that's not true. CMMG had an upper in 5.7 by 28 millimeter diamond back to making their version. Now a lot of people like the Ruger 5.7. I think this is super cool. And the ammo once again is a bit more expensive, but we'll see what the future looks like as more of these companies are making it and more and more people are getting involved with the 5.7 by 28 millimeter. Multi-calibre uppers are a big thing now. People like it. Here's my CMMG, Banshee. This is a great upper height. I love it. It's chambered in 300 blackout, but simply ordering an upper, having it shipped to your house without an FFL transfer, pop it on the lower and shooting different calibers, like 10 millimeter. 45 ACP, 5.7 by 28 millimeter. They're all available and it's just so simple to do and you don't have to take four rifle bags to the range. So a lot of people are getting involved with that. Companies are taking notice and they are creating uppers and it's been extremely or will be extremely convenient. Another thing that I'm noticing is heavy steel frame competition guns. Now here is my Q5 match by Walter. Walter came out with a steel frame one. It's a big hit. Now they have one with a 4 inch barrel and so many other companies are doing it. Now the competition market is still very big. Most of them are chambered in 9 millimeter. You know with high cap mags, you know 20 rounds or so, but people like it. They like the soft recoil, the 9 millimeter, the heavy frame staying on target. It just helps so much with their competition shooting. Another thing that I noticed is 22 long rifle pistols. We saw what Glock did. We saw what Ruger did. Here's the Ruger. LCP2, light rack and Keltaq and Taurus and so many companies. Is it making a comeback? I'm never sure. It left the market, but we're seeing more manufacturers build guns in 22 long rifle. Another thing that I noticed and I'm going to show off one more gun here is laser engraving on 1911's. Here's my Magnum Research Desert Eagle 1911. If you had a close up on this, you'd see that it is very beautifully engraved. A lot of people are getting into this. A lot of companies are making laser engraved 1911's. They take a beautiful gun already and they make it a one of a kind. The next year they come out with a different model than a different model than you get yours. It's sort of a one of a kind that suits your personality. A show off gun, no doubt but you still get all the benefits of the 1911. Those are my thoughts, guys. The AK Market Estetty, the semi-auto market Estetty, the Shack-Unmarket Estetty, but these are some of the trends that I'm noticing and I think we'll see a lot more in 2020.
