Shooting the JP CTR-02 was an eye opener as to just how nice a finely tuned and gas fed AR-15 can shoot. The trigger was amazing. The muzzle break did its job really well as there was virtually no recoil. You could easily keep sight picture and watch the bullet impact. The action working felt unbelievably smooth. This was the nicest shooting AR type rifle I’ve ever shot. The rifle has a Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gun sight with the JP custom reticle mounted on it. While we didn’t get a chance to really put the reticle through it’s paces we liked what we saw while shooting the gun. Check out the JP website.

Check out this video of the Bighorn Armory 500 S&W Mag on Media Day. The recoil is surprisingly mild. Bighorn Armory website.

Although the Magpul backup folding sights weren’t new for the 2010 SHOT Show they are still a fairly new product and if you haven’t seen them they are worth looking at. We were impressed. The best part about them is the price point. They are relatively inexpensive compared to other brands. The AFG-1 Angled Fore Grip is new and we liked it. It was completely designed with shooter ergonomics in mind.

This was one of the most innovative new items we saw at the SHOT show. After you see how cool it is you wonder why no one had thought of it before. The transparent magazine allows you to see how many rounds you have left in the gun. This product has great potential for 3 gun matches, home defense, and law enforcement. The only downside we could see is that it’s currently only available for the Mossberg 590 Shotguns. It comes in 6+1 and 8+1 configurations. Check out their site

American Tactical California King
This is a California legal AR-15. Although we don’t live in California we can see why this would be a great product for someone who does. The California King allows for fast reloads while still keeping you legal. The rifle comes with a Adams Arms Piston system. This rifle is priced right! Heres a link to ATI’s Site.
