The folks at Ruger are busy.

They have new guns, and they're going to be announcing them at Shod Show next week,

but you're going to hear about it right now on Gun Talk.

Welcome to Tom Gresham's Gun Talk, High Calibur Talk Radio.

All right, back with you here, Tom Gresham.

We're talking about guns, which probably doesn't surprise anybody if you've listened to the show at all, because that's what we do.

We talk about guns. The old guns, the new guns, the guns we want, the guns we have, just lots of fun across the board. If there's something on your mind by all means, feel free to give us a shout. 866 talk guns. It is that time of year. It is the time of year when, well, the shot show. You've probably heard me talk about the shot show a lot.

That's next week, not this coming week, but the following week in Las Vegas.

It is a four-day extravaganza of everything that's new in the firearms field and also in hunting stuff and self-defense and tactical and everything else.

It's 700,000, 700,000 square feet of exhibit space, and everybody who is anybody in the

firearms world is there.

I'll be there, of course.

We'll be finding out what's new, what's cool, what's going on.

But sometimes we get a little bit advanced notice. Sometimes we find out what's new beforehand. And, you know, of course, we're going to share that with you whenever we're able to. And we're going to do doing that right now. Let me bring in Mark Garnie from Ruger Firearms with all sorts of news on new guns. Hey, Mark, how are you, man? I am well, Tom. How are you? Well, I am good. It is, you know, I always ask people, are you ready for shots? Everybody says, no, of course not. Oh, it's a headlong sprint to the finish line. Yeah, it almost feels like it's a sprint into the wood chipper. That's correct.

You know, I mean, we all love the shot show.

We all hate the shot show.

It is an incredible grind, but it's also kind of like summer camp, isn't it?

You go see all your friends there each year.

You go see it and get all the fun stuff done all at once. Yep, exactly. All right. But getting ready for it is monumental for gun companies. Yes, it is. Well, okay, you guys have, you know, probably not released everything you're going to show new there, but you have released some new things, and you just sent out some releases, and I actually was able to get my hands

on the new SR9 compact.

So why don't we start with that?

What's that all about?
