SHOT Show 2019 History
The 41st SHOT Show ran January 22 to 25, 2019 at the Sands Expo. NSSF reported more than 58,000 attendees from 111 countries and a record of more than 2,400 exhibiting companies on over 692,000 net square feet, with about 2,400 credentialed media. The Supplier Showcase grew to 540 OEMs, and a new one-day Pop-Up Preview brought in more than 230 new exhibitors, mostly clothing, footwear and outdoor gear.
The show had outgrown the Sands, and NSSF announced expansion into more space for 2020 as the waiting list of companies kept growing.
Our Take on SHOT Show 2019
By 2019 the show was as much about gear, medical and training products as guns. Emergency lights for first responders, AMP-3 first aid kits paired with HAM radio gear, Simunition inert training rounds and purpose-built holsters showed how many small companies were building around carry, training and preparedness.
The fun stuff was still there too, from mini Mosin rifles to glowing ammunition. The 2019 crew also leaned hard into the community side of SHOT, trading Gun Channels patches and gathering supporters for meetups.
Our SHOT Show 2019 Adventures
The 2019 Gun Channels crew included Armintha of Gun Gals, Sarge of C4 Defense, Mike of MW Tactical, Clover Tac, Ghost Tactical, Pink Panther and Gun Websites, with Angelina from Daily Gun Show and Joe along for the week.
The hotel room tour video introduced a white husky who made the room feel like home, and a Gun Channels meetup with food and drinks gave members a chance to meet in person. At the end of the trip the hotel bed was buried in swag set aside for Patreon supporters.
