Nuremberg / Las Vegas, January 15, 2026: The IWA Pavilion at SHOT Show in Las Vegas has long been more than just a joint stand – it is a well-established format that combines international visibility, service orientation, and industry expertise. In 2026, the Pavilion will showcase a record lineup of 23 exhibitors, including 12 German companies and 11 international participants from seven countries.

Its central location ensures maximum visibility and emphasizes the powerful appearance of IWA exhibitors as a united entity. In addition to Germany, companies from Italy, Spain, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Estonia, the Netherlands, Turkey, and Austria will be present next year. “The IWA Pavilion is a prime example of international trade fair cooperation. It shows how we, as organizers, support our exhibitors worldwide—with quality, service, and a strong network. The response from the industry confirms: the need for reliable platforms for international trade is greater than ever,” says Stefanie Leege, Exhibition Director of IWA OutdoorClassics. “For us, the IWA Pavilion at SHOT Show is a good opportunity to bring the anticipation for IWA in Nuremberg to its peak. SHOT Show is an exciting start to the trade fair year—but IWA OutdoorClassics remains the central industry meeting point for the international trade community. With the IWA Pavilion, we create a bridge between markets and strengthen the visibility of our exhibitors worldwide. The anticipation for Nuremberg is already tangible for many—and that is exactly what we want to convey with the Pavilion,” Leege continues.

EOTECH Introduces the EFLX-CE Closed Emitter Mini Reflex Sight

January 16th, 2026

Plymouth, MI (January 2026) – EOTECH is committed to delivering high-performing, dependable pistol optics that shooters can trust with their life. This commitment continues with the introduction of the EFLX Closed Emitter (EFLX-CE). Dedicated to meet the needs of our customer base, the EFLX-CE provides a fully enclosed housing to protect the LED emitter from damage or debris.

The EFLX-CE offers a durable, heavy-duty 7075 aluminum housing that provides a square viewing window. Large, recessed, rubberized buttons are positioned on the top of the housing making adjustments easy for both left and right-handed shooters. These buttons control eight daytime brightness settings, including an ultra-bright level and night vision setting. And in case of catastrophic situations, a built-in rear iron sight is integrated into the housing to get you through it.

The EFLX-CE’s improved electronics offer selectable reticle options that include either a 3MOA aiming dot, 42MOA circle, or the circle/dot combination. Slots on the windage and elevation screws have been enlarged to accommodate a tool, coin, or even spent brass. These adjustments offer precise 1MOA clicks with the subtle audible sound and solid detent.

The EFLX-CE’s customized electronics offer a programmable sleep mode function. Through simple button manipulation, users can choose between a 10-minute, 1-hour, or 12-hour sleep mode or disable this function entirely. While enabled, and with even the slightest movement, the EFLX-CE can power up through its Shake-Awake technology. A single 2032 battery provides approximately 25,000 hours of run time with the single dot and when it’s time to change the battery, an easy access, side-load battery compartment makes the process quick and straightforward.

The mounting configuration is compatible with both Leupold®Delta Point Pro™ or Shield® RMS-c™ footprints. Two torx flathead fasteners and a tool are included for mounting the EFLX-CE to the slide.

The hardened EFLX-CE removes the fear of LED damage or obscurity due to dirt, water, or other debris. This lightweight, compact, and cost-effective optical solution was engineered with the professional pistol shooter in mind. Consisting of both foreign and domestic parts, the EFLX-CE is proudly assembled in the USA.

Dead Air Silencers Expands RXD Suppressor Series

January 16th, 2026

January 2026 – Dead Air Silencers, manufacturer of the next evolution in quiet, purpose-built suppressors, expands its popular RXD-series suppressor line for 2026 with the introduction of the RXD910Ti.

The RXD910Ti is the third advanced suppressor designed and manufactured by Dead Air Silencers under license from Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. to compliment Ruger’s innovative firearm designs. Dead Air developed this suppressor specifically to optimize performance for 9mm applications while also delivering enhanced sound suppression in 10mm pistol applications.

Caliber ratings for the RXD910Ti include 5.7x28mm, 9x19mm, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, 10mm Auto, .300 BLK, and .400 Legend, with full-auto compatibility in 9mm, 10mm Auto, 5.7x28mm, and .300 BLK subsonic. This makes the RXD910Ti ideal for use in a broad range of caliber-compatible Ruger firearms, such as:

Ruger-5.7®

RXM®

LC Carbine™

PC Carbine™

Ruger American® Gen II

Marlin® Model 1894™

The RXD910Ti credits its unparalleled acoustic performance to Dead Air’s innovative Triskelion® baffle system, which comes via an additive manufacturing process using 6AL4V titanium. The result is a lightweight (11.4 oz. with piston assembly), exceptionally strong suppressor crafted into a solid, continuous piece of titanium. The integral baffle design delivers class-leading sound reduction while minimizing backpressure for a cleaner, more pleasant shooting experience.

Additionally, the RXD910Ti features forward porting that shears and redirects gas away from the suppressor’s central axis and toward the muzzle. From the shooter’s perspective, this means softer felt recoil and faster sight picture reacquisition for follow-up shots.

Included with the RXD910Ti is a 1/2-28 piston made of nitride-finished 17-4 PH stainless steel for use on tilt-barrel pistol applications. An RXD 7075 aluminum front cap boasting a Level III hard coat black anodized finish ensures ease of maintenance and R-series cross-compatibility. Finally, the RXD910Ti comes with an installation tool and Quick-Start Guide.

The RXD910Ti is available in black and FDE finish. MSRP is $999.

Tomahawk Performance Introduces CW / Combat Top for Cold Weather Operations

January 16th, 2026

Nashville, TN — January 14, 2026 — Technical apparel brand Tomahawk Performance has released the CW / Combat Top, a cold-weather combat layer engineered for military and law enforcement personnel operating in harsh environments. Designed specifically to be integrated with load-bearing equipment, the CW / Combat Top addresses the persistent challenge of maintaining warmth without restricting mobility or compromising breathability.

The CW / Combat Top is built as a midweight, under-armor solution that performs across both dynamic movement and static positions. The garment balances insulation, durability, and breathability to support extended wear during training and operational use in cold, windy, and wet conditions.

Thermal performance is achieved through Primaloft® Gold 40GSM insulation in high-exposure areas, paired with a DWR-treated MMI SAM1® face fabric across the shoulders and arms to provide durability and weather resistance under armor contact. The torso utilizes Polartec® WindPro™, offering breathable wind protection and effective moisture management where heat buildup is most common beneath plate carriers.

The CW / Combat Top is designed to integrate cleanly into existing cold-weather and armor systems. Key construction features include articulated elbows and gusseted underarms for unrestricted movement, an extended back to maintain coverage during dynamic activity, and adjustable cuffs and a tapered quarter-zip crew neck to help seal out wind, snow, and debris. Zippered bicep pockets with integrated stash pockets and reinforced 4” x 4.5” hook-and-loop fields provide identification and limited storage without interfering with equipment.

According to Tomahawk Performance, the goal was to create a new evolution of a challenging piece – one that can transition seamlessly between mission profiles and offer comfort in coldweather environments.

“Operations always took us in various locations and climates. Cold weather operations require the right equipment,” says Keith Walawender, CEO of Tomahawk Strategic Solutions. “The cold-weather combat top fits clean under your plate carrier. It solves the problem of staying warm without overheating under your armor in dynamic environments. The fit, function, and performance feel like it is built for the fight.”

The CW / Combat Top is available now through the Tomahawk Performance website and authorized dealer partners.

New Ghost Badger Tactical EV Advances Power, Stealth, Speed for Military and Law Enforcement Users

January 16th, 2026

NASA tech enhances battery safety, performanceSee it in booth Venetian Booth #44051 at SHOt ShowVIRGINIA BEACH, VA — StewTech Inc. announces the launch of its Ghost Badger compact tactical electric vehicle, engineered to provide military users and law enforcement officers greater tactical advantage and multi-mission versatility at a lower lifetime cost.

NASA tech offers peerless battery performance, safety

Licensed from NASA, the Ghost Badger’s battery management innovation enables active cell balancing, bad cell detection and the ability to isolate bad cells, mitigating the chance of thermal runaway.

Uniquely, the system enables flexible energy sharing across multiple units, allowing streamlined charging setups that reduce the need for extra cables. It can also interface with multiple units to deliver power when and where it’s needed, functioning as a mobile energy source and versatile storage solution for both transportation and equipment.

Battery yields low heat signature, boosted power, quiet use

The powerful battery provides the negligible heat signature required by Special Operations for low probability of detection during covert missions. It also enables speeds of up to 113 KMH (70 MPH), contributing to quicker infil and exfil.

The vehicle’s battery-powered engine operates at just 48 dB(A) during acceleration, allowing users to move nearly silently during ISR and other operations.

AI-enhanced stability and instant torque conquer difficult terrains

The Ghost Badger’s deep engineering taps AI to provide advanced stability and instant torque, allowing users to maneuver confidently in hilly and uneven terrains.

Compact design, modest curb weight allow easy transport to DZ

Just 150 cm x 65 cm x 40 cm (59″ x 26″ x 16″) when folded and 150 cm x 130 cm x 40 cm (59″ x 51″ x 16″) when unfolded, the Ghost Badger’s compact designand 43 kg (95 lb.) weight make it easier to transport, conceal and retrieve than other micro-mobility options. The vehicle is airdrop capable.

Quick-swap payload rails enable use for cargo, CASEVAC

Modular payload rails let users rapidly transform the Ghost Badger from being a personal transport vehicle to a carrier for cargo such as compact drones, light anti-armor weapons, additional energy storage systems, and communications equipment.

Operators can use a different payload rail for quick casualty evacuation (CASEVAC).

Fleet managers enjoy lower maintenance and lifetime costs

Because the Ghost Badger has fewer moving parts and a lower fuel burden and requires only simple field maintenance, it offers a lower lifetime cost and greater sustainability than legacy options.

Made in the USA

The Ghost Badger CTEV-02 compact tactical electric vehicle is proudly made in the USA and carefully engineered to meet military standards.

“We engineered the Ghost Badger with the mission success and safety of our military members and law enforcement officers at its core,” said founder and CEO Johnnie Stewart IV. “They give us their best, and they deserve our best.”
