Summary

The T.Rex Team navigated 14 miles of aisles between 2,600 booths alongside 55,000 other SHOT Show attendees this past week, and we're talking about what we saw, who we talked to, and a bit about what we expect for the rest of the year.

For our 200th episode, we'll go over significant civilian-focused products from companies like PSA and Holosun, advancements in high-level drone and RF tech, and a massive trend towards thermal imaging. Brandon gives us his expertise in valuing product refinements and innovation, and Caleb explains the logistics behind-the-scenes.

It's impossible to ignore how your direct input and feedback into this industry is shaping the future of gun innovation, the industry's growing respect for civilian users, and the increasingly common idea that military-grade tech is not just for the armed forces but every responsible citizen.

The Citizen's Defense Industry is developing right in front of us.

0:59.1	just to see, like, all of this stuff, you know, not, you don't really expect people to build two
1:04.0	story buildings as a booth, you know? Oh, absolutely. So this year not being, amazing. Yeah, it is. I actually don't even know how
1:12.2	they do it to be honest, but this year got past all of that, you know, past the sensory overload and
1:17.9	get to focus a little bit more on work. So yeah, overalls, I would say it's a lot better. Yeah.
1:22.9	Oh, I'm glad to hear that. Well, yeah, Glock had a brand new booth, and I don't think they had any new guns.
1:29.3	Oh, oh, they had a Gen 5 version of, like, the Glock 29.
1:32.9	Oh, cool. Yeah.
