SHOT Show 1925: Imagining a Roaring 20s Firearms Expo

In this episode of No Lowballers, Logan Medish and Alan Forkner travel back to 1925 to imagine what SHOT Show might have looked like in the Roaring 20s. They discuss the innovations and products that would have defined the firearms industry during that time. Key Topics: • 270 Winchester Cartridge: A look at its introduction and its lasting impact as a popular hunting cartridge. • Winchester Model 54 Rifle: How it marked the beginning of Winchester's iconic bolt-action rifles. • Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR): The civilian version and how it transitioned to the Colt Monitor in the mid-20s. • Smith & Wesson’s Single-Shot Target Pistol: A failed design that didn’t catch on with shooters of the time. • Italian MBT 1925 Prototype: A unique, never-produced rifle that was displayed at the show. • The Interwar Period: How innovations like smokeless powder and new calibers shaped the firearms industry. • Military Influence: The development of tactical firearms and their presence in the civilian market. • SHOT Show Media Evolution: How media and marketing at the show would have looked in 1925 compared to today’s digital era.
