Hola from relatively sunny and warm Las Vegas where me 'n' Schmit and, yeah, Fernando are doing the floors of SHOT Show 2004, visiting vendors, collecting information, and sayin' "Hi!" to old friends in the Industry and the gunzine game.
Lotsa new products from H&K where I spent a good amount of time Thursday afternoon, the main feature of which is a gas-piston operated AR-15. Pretty trick! My buddy Chuck Karwan observed, as we were walking around the "consolidated" law enforcement section, "how is it that everyone can make money with the AR15… except Colt's?!?" Just so! (But then as Charlie Petty's late boss, George von Rosen, said to me a dozen years back, "Now that the cowboy craze is taking hold, why is it that everyone seems to have a Colt's SAA… except Colt's?!?")
The four of us (including BOFH) found the most trick "pocket light" in the history of hand-held illumination yesterday afternoon, and unless some unforseen disaster strikes… always a forseeable possibility in any matter in which Fernando is involved… it'll be an AmBack product within the next 45 days.
More later…
