Innovation, Civilian Impact, and the Future of SHOT Show

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.
