What did you like from Shot show 2012?

[Warbirds]

I tried putting this in the Shot show forum and didn't have permission.

OK, here are the things that i saw or read about that I find most interesting.

First, the GSG STG 44 rifle, it may just be a replica chambered in .22, but that us one beautiful gun. It is probably the closest I will ever get to a real STG 44. You probably won't know there is a difference until you pull the trigger.

Second, it may just be a prototype but the quick takedown AK shown US Palm. The potential ability to swap barrels/calibers with minimal effort is awesome. If the real gun works like the prototype does, OMG that is going to be a must buy.

Third was the Thompson Center Dimension rifle, being able to change the rifle to other calibers in under 5 minutes is pretty cool for a hunting rifle.

The one thing that came out of one of the reports by thetruthaboutguns.com is that the firearms industry has a 40% return rate on firearms for defects. That is aweful if true.

So what did you see that was cool?

How about the civilian IWI Tavor that was featured? Supposedly, it will be available sometime this coming fall, but the manufacturer hasn't decided whether to stick with STANAG magazines or go proprietary...

I can't believe the Canadians got this before us!

I think that the SA XDS .45 will be in my holster, if it works.

I understand what is interesting with the XDS, but what is it about the Tavor that peaks your interest?
