KRISS USA has released this video of their booth at SHOT Show 2014, exhibiting the latest in the Vector SMG, SPHINX pistol, and DEFIANCE suppressor lines. KRISS also held a private range event at Machine Gun Vegas, where participants were able to try out the Vector and SPHINX in the indoor range. Additionally, NRA commentator Natalie Foster and Gary Quesenberry of Top Shot were on hand to give their impressions of the Vector and SPHINX.
For manufacturers and retailers alike, Point of Sale Displays are extremely important. For the manufacturer it is the best way to represents themselves on a retail sales floor. For the retailer, the display should help showcase the product. I think Blue Force Gear has done a great job with this new launch, unveiled at SHOT Show.
The displays at the top can be changed and according to BFG they plan to support this capability with regular updates that will catch the customer’s eye as well as inform.
In addition to a very neat layout, there’s something else special about this display that won’t dawn on many right off the bat.
These blue guns are the best part of this new display. It can be difficult to visualize how many slings work. Generally, the customer will wonder if it’s long enough, how it will connect to the rifle, etc. With embedded QD points and Picatinny rail sections, these blue guns are an inexpensive way to provide some hands on time and show a customer how to configure the sling on the rifle.
Each display comes with one blue gun. Contact www.BlueForceGear.com for details about this new program.

Tactical-Life.com and Panteao Productions got some excellent video coverage during SHOT Show and we thought it would be great to share it with our readers here at SSD. This video introduces the Lewis Machine & Tool (LMT) DMR Stock and SLK8 Receiver.
The new LMT DMR AR buttstock released during SHOT Show is designed for use with a mil-spec carbine extension tube, offering three separate position adjustments. In addition, the cheek weld height and the length of pull can both be adjusted to 45 different positions. Intended for 3-gun competitions, the slick side SLK8 receiver (think LM8 with no rails) offers a stainless steel 5R cut-rifled barrel (available in 16″ and 20″) with a 1-in-7.5-inch twist rate, an ambidextrous magazine release, a two-stage match trigger and Ergo grip.
