Chiappa Firearms Unveils the RHINO ELITE 60DS L-Frame: A 44-Piece Limited Masterwork Merging Mechanical Precision and Modern Art
Dayton, Ohio (Jan. 20, 2026) — Chiappa Firearms proudly announces the release of the RHINO ELITE 60DS – L FRAME, an exclusive artistic evolution of the legendary Rhino platform. Limited to just 44 individually numbered pieces, each Elite model represents a singular fusion of firearms engineering, Italian industrial design, and contemporary graphic artistry. This limited-edition revolver elevates the Rhino platform from a high-performance firearm into a collectible work of art, combining both functionality and visual sophistication in a way that will appeal to serious shooters and discerning collectors alike.
The RHINO 44 Elite project enhances the revolver’s mechanical architecture through an integrated visual design inspired by the low-poly aesthetic. The hand-applied graphics reinterpret the rhino’s textured skin and iconic Rhino symbol using polygonal shapes, softened to echo the patterning of the revolver’s distinctive barrel windows. The effect is a modern, sculptural take on a classic revolver platform that emphasizes both strength and elegance. Each Elite model features a one-of-a-kind color combination, making every revolver a truly unique collectible, impossible to replicate, and a testament to Chiappa’s dedication to craftsmanship.
The Elite series also represents a new benchmark in presentation. Each RHINO ELITE 60DS is housed in a bespoke display case meticulously machined from a solid block of aluminum, custom-painted to match the revolver’s color theme, and lined with premium Italian leather. The case provides not only secure storage but a striking display option suitable for galleries, collectors’ rooms, or premium gun collections. Accompanying each model is a hand-signed certificate of authenticity, a custom display base, and a Rhino 44 patch, ensuring that every Elite revolver arrives as both a fully realized art piece and a high-performance firearm.
From a technical standpoint, the RHINO ELITE 60DS retains all the performance features for which the Rhino platform is known. Chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, it features a 6-inch barrel, bottom-chamber firing geometry for reduced muzzle rise, a double/single-action trigger system, Hogue rubber-style Cerakoted aluminum grips, and fiber-optic front and rear sights. The cylinder block, cylinder rotation lock, and hammer block ensure secure and reliable operation.
A California-legal single-action variant, the RHINO Elite 60 SAR–L Frame, is also available under SKU CF340.348, expanding the Elite line for collectors in restricted states.
The RHINO ELITE 60DS – L FRAME is made in Italy and represents the peak of Chiappa’s dedication to craftsmanship, performance, and design innovation. With only 44 units produced worldwide, it is a rare opportunity to own a revolver that combines functional excellence with striking, modern artistry, making it ideal for collectors seeking a firearm that stands out as both a mechanical marvel and a work of art.

Bond Arms® Blends Classic Design and Modern Performance with the LVRB
Granbury, TX (January 21, 2024) – Bond Arms®, renowned for innovative craftsmanship, proudly announces the imminent release of the LVRB lever-action rifle. Evolving from a visionary concept into a production reality, the LVRB shatters convention by seamlessly merging classic lever-action aesthetics with modern modularity and performance. Select examples from the very first full production run will be on display at the 2026 SHOT Show, with anticipated customer deliveries beginning in the second quarter of 2026.
Engineered for the contemporary shooter, the LVRB is chambered in .223 Wylde (compatible with both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO), and features a robust platform designed for future caliber conversions, including .300 Blackout, .450 Bushmaster, and .350 Legend. Its defining feature is compatibility with ubiquitous standard AR-pattern magazines, offering unparalleled logistics and high-capacity versatility in a lever-action format.
The LVRB advances the platform with a refined short-throw lever system for rapid cycling and superior ergonomics. Safety is paramount, featuring both a cross-bolt safety and a grip safety. A full-length Picatinny rail atop the receiver and handguard provides expansive mounting options for optics and sights. By eliminating the traditional gas system, Bond Arms achieves a cleaner, more reliable action while bringing the sight axis closer to the bore for enhanced accuracy.
Key Specs & Features:
BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas, and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.

Dayton, OH (January 20, 2026) – Chiappa Firearms proudly announces the release of the Rhino 60DS L-Frame Special Edition, a striking new addition to the renowned Rhino lineup and the only model in the 2025 launch to receive a uniquely American-themed finish. Limited to 440 individually numbered pieces, this Special Edition brings Chiappa’s advanced revolver engineering together with a patriotic aesthetic designed for collectors and dedicated shooters alike.
The Rhino 60DS L-Frame Special Edition is chambered in .44 Remington Magnum and built around Chiappa’s trademark bottom-chamber firing geometry, which lowers the bore axis to reduce muzzle rise and improve recoil control dramatically. The L-Frame architecture enhances handling with greater surface area, improved leverage, and reinforced strength for managing powerful magnum loads.
What sets this model apart is its navy blue Cerakote finish, laser-etched with American Flag elements, which gives the revolver a bold, distinctive appearance while offering long-term durability. Each Special Edition ships in a polymer presentation case and includes a certificate of authenticity, owner’s manual, and a Special Edition Rhino 44 patch.
A single-action California-legal variant, the Rhino Special 60 SAR – L Frame, is also available under SKU CF340.349.
The Rhino 60DS L-Frame Special Edition stands as both a technical showcase and a patriotic collector’s piece. With only 440 units available worldwide, this revolver offers a rare opportunity to own a limited-production extension of one of the most distinctive revolver designs on the market.

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHED THE TLR-3®X RECHARGEABLE WEAPON LIGHT
Lightweight, Multi-Fuel Light Provides Broad Fitment for Compact and Sub-Compact Handguns
EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 20, 2026 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting equipment, launched the TLR-3®X / TLR-3®X USB, designed to combine powerful performance with multi-fuel capability. The new light brings extraordinary brightness and beam distance to compact and select sub-compact guns and provides a practical and reliable gun light option to shooting enthusiasts.
The new light operates on either one CR123A battery or one Streamlight SL-B9® rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. Weighing only 2.15 ounces with a disposable battery or 2.25 ounces with the SL-B9 battery, the TLR-3X is one of the narrowest offerings in the TLR product series, measuring at just 2.75 inches in length and 1.07 inches wide. Its high-power LED delivers 500 lumens and 6,500 candela over a beam distance of 161 meters. With an SL-B9 Li-Ion 850mAh USB-C rechargeable battery inserted, the run time is one hour; using a CR123A battery, the run time is 1.5 hours.
“The TLR-3X delivers everything in a sleek, compact design — a high-quality, multi-fuel light that produces 500 lumens. It combines rugged durability, and broad fitment for a wide range of handguns,” said Michael F. Dineen, President of Streamlight. “This new light is ideal for everyone, from beginners to seasoned shooting enthusiasts.”
Ready for use in seconds, the TLR-3X’s innovative, snap-on-and-tighten design ensures quick and safe installation and removal without placing hands in front of the gun muzzle. Rear switches to the left and right of the trigger guard provide ambidextrous operation. Offering both momentary and constant on operation, the light also features a user-activated strobe.
The TLR-3X is available in three models: 1913 model fits handguns equipped with standard 1913 rails (see Streamlight’s Fit Guide for current compatibility); 1913 Slim model to fit the Glock® 43X® MOS, 48 MOS, 43X® Rail, and 48 Rail, FN Reflex®, and FN Reflex® XL; and the P365 model, which fits the Sig Sauer® P365 and P365® XL (closed rail systems only – does not fit the P365® XMACRO). A reversible clamp system enables the 1913 model to fit short and standard railed handguns.
Manufactured from heat-resistant engineered polymer, the light also features a scratch-resistant BOROFLOAT® high-temperature glass lens. With live-fire tested, impact-resistant construction, the new light has an IPX7 rated design, making it waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The TLR-3X is also compliant with the Trade Agreements Act.
The TLR-3X comes with a single CR123A lithium disposable battery, while the TLR-3X USB model ships with a rechargeable lithium polymer battery pack; both models can accept either battery. The TLR-3X has an MSRP of $170.00 and the TLR-3X USB has an MSRP of $179.00. Both come with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Streamlight’s WEDGE SL Inspection Light
Enter the Streamlight Wedge SL.
Streamlight has “slimmed to perfection” their popular Wedge platform, creating a light that feels less like a weapon and more like a precision instrument. While it retains a 500-lumen burst mode for emergency situational awareness, its true strength lies in its “inspection-first” engineering. With a streamlined unibody design that slips into a scrub top or uniform pocket as easily as a carpenter’s pencil, and a beam profile optimized for uniform area lighting rather than long-range throw, the Wedge SL is uniquely qualified for close-up diagnostic work.
Whether you are an EMT assessing a patient’s airway in a dimly lit ambulance, a physician needing reliable color contrast for wound evaluation, or a technician inspecting a circuit board, the Wedge SL offers a compelling argument for being the only light you need to carry. It bridges the gap between the tactical necessity of durability and the medical necessity of restraint.

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES THE PROTAC® RAIL MOUNT 1L-X AND 1L-X PRO
Optimized for Rifles with Short Rails; Pro Model Features Flexible Jack Cap® Tail Switch
EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 22, 2026 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, introduced the ProTac® Rail Mount 1L-X and the ProTac® 1L-X Pro, multi-fuel tactical lights with a compact design to fit short-barreled rifles, submachine guns, and carbines with limited rail space for both light and pressure pad. The new high-output lights, which also are available in USB configurations, deliver up to 850 lumens for extreme brightness. They will debut at SHOT Show 2026 in Las Vegas, where attendees can see them in person at Streamlight Booth #11468.
Lightweight and low profile, both feature a rugged, integrated rail clamp designed to rapidly and securely attach to guns with a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny or M-LOK® rail system. The light-only models feature a standard push-button tail cap, providing ease of activation without a pressure pad. The Pro models also offer a Jack Cap® tail cap switch that provides dual operational redundancy, including push-button and remote pressure switch control, for the ultimate in flexibility.
The compact lights feature a smaller footprint profile for tight rail set ups (the light-only model is ideal for rifles where pressure pad space is extremely limited). Each light uses a lumen-focused beam optimized for short range clarity, delivering up to 850 lumens of blinding white light. The lights are powered by either one Streamlight SL-B9® protected lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack, or a single 3-volt CR123A lithium battery for use if the rechargeable cell is out of power.
“These multi-fuel weapon-mounted lights are the perfect solution for law enforcement, military and tactical users when using short-barreled lights in maneuvers under low-light conditions,” said Streamlight President Michael F. Dineen. “The Pro version features a Jack Cap tail switch that allows users to choose between using a push-button or remote pressure switch, depending on their preference. They are designed to deliver the ultimate in compact power for your rifle.”
Offering high, low and strobe settings, both lights feature a TEN-TAP® programmable switch that allows users to select one of three different programs: high/strobe (factory default); high only; or low/high.
On the high setting, the ProTac Rail Mount 1L-X USB and 1L-X Pro USB models deliver 850 lumens, 30,000 candela, and a run time of 30 minutes when using an SL-B9 battery; with a CR123A battery inserted, they provide 500 lumens, 18,000 candela and a 1.75-hour run time. On low, the lights offer up to 6.5 hours of run time,100 lumens and 3,400 candela depending on battery selection.
Both lights mount to a broad range of short-rail rifles and submachine guns, safely and securely by means of a one-handed snap on and tighten interface that permits users to keep their hands away from the gun muzzle.
The new models are fabricated from 6000 series machined aluminum with a black anodized finish and feature a high temperature, impact-resistant BOROFLOAT® glass lens. The ProTac Rail Mount 1L-X USB measures 4.64 inches long and weighs 5.12 ounces with a CR123A battery and 5.22 ounces with an SL-B9 rechargeable battery pack. The ProTac Rail Mount 1L-X Pro USB also is 4.64 inches in length, weighing 5.5 ounces with a CR123A battery and 5.6 ounces with the SL-B9 battery.
With the standard push-button switch installed, both lights are rated IP67 for waterproof operation to 1 meter for 30 minutes; when using the remote switch with the 1L-X Pro USB, the light is IP54 rated for water-resistant operation.
The ProTac Rail Mount 1L-X USB and the ProTac Rail Mount 1L-X have MSRPs of $190.00 and $181.00, respectively, while the ProTac Rail Mount 1L-X Pro USB and the ProTac Rail Mount 1L-X Pro have MSRPs of $221.00 and $212.00, respectively. All four models are backed by Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES THE PROTAC® RAIL MOUNT VIR PRO
Multi-Fuel Long Gun Light Provides Both White and IR Illumination
EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 23, 2026 – Streamlight®, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, introduced the ProTac® Rail Mount VIR PRO, a gun-mounted tactical light featuring up to 1,100 lumens of visible white light and an infrared (IR) LED. The new light is designed to securely fit all long guns with MIL-STD-1913 or M-LOK® and M-LOK compatible rails.
The ProTac Rail Mount VIR PRO enables users to easily toggle between bright white and IR light via the head-mounted switch, allowing first responders to illuminate a target for identification while remaining undetected. A built-in cutoff prevents accidental visible light activation while in IR mode, guaranteeing stealth and control.
The light’s Jack-Cap® tail cap switch provides switch redundancy, offering a choice between push-button or remote pressure switch operation. A TEN-TAP® programmable switch allows users to select one of three different programs: white light high only/IR high only (default); white light medium only/IR high-low; or white light low-high/IR low-high.
“The ProTac Rail Mount VIR PRO provides shooting enthusiasts, law enforcement personnel and tactical users alike with a flexible lighting tool that has both visible white light and IR illumination,” said Streamlight President Michael F. Dineen. “It’s an essential tool for both covert and overt operations.”
The new light is powered by two CR123A lithium batteries or a single Streamlight SL-B26 lithium ion USB rechargeable battery pack that recharges in five hours. Featuring high, medium and low settings, the white LED provides up to 1,100 lumens and 40,000 candela over a 400-meter beam distance on high and 120 lumens, 4,200 candela and a 130-meter beam distance on low. For IR lighting, the ProTac Rail Mount VIR Pro uses a 940nm IR LED, which emits 2,300mW on high and 600 mW on low.
Run times range from 1.5 hours (high) to 11 hours (low) when using CR123A batteries, and from 2 hours (high) to 14 hours (low) with the SL-B26 battery pack. The IR light runs up to 7.25 hours using CR123A batteries and up to 9 hours with the SL-B26 battery.
The ProTac Rail Mount VIR PRO has an ambidextrous momentary/steady on-off switch. Its rail clamp securely attaches to rifles, carbines, and submachine guns with a MIL-STD-1913 rail or with the included M-LOK mount, allowing for alternative mounting options to M-LOK and M-LOK compatible rail systems.
The light is constructed from 6000 Series machined aircraft aluminum, with a black anodized finish. It measures 5.65 inches in length and weighs 8.2 ounces with two CR123A batteries and 8.8 ounces with an SL-B26 rechargeable battery pack. The new light uses a high temperature, shock-mounted, impact-resistant BOROFLOAT® glass lens.
Featuring extensively live-fire tested construction, the ProTac Rail Mount VIR PRO is IPX7 rated for waterproof operation to 1 meter for 30 minutes with the standard push button switch installed. It is IPX4-rated for water-resistant operation when using the remote pressure switch. The ProTac RM VIR PRO has an MSRP of $400.00, while a USB version of the light has an MSRP of $418.00. Both come with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

AIMPOINT BROADENS COA® and A-CUT®
ADOPTION ACROSS LEADING PISTOL BRANDS
Las Vegas, NV, January 20, 2026 – During the NSSF SHOT Show, Aimpoint announces a significant expansion of its COA® pistol red dot sight through a growing network of OEM partners. The COA optic is offered as a factory-installed package, with pistols shipping directly from manufacturers equipped with the optic via Aimpoint’s integrated A-CUT® interface.
This expansion represents a major step forward in Aimpoint’s strategy to redefine the standard for pistol-mounted optics. By offering a direct-mount solution engineered specifically for duty-grade performance, the
A-CUT system delivers enhanced durability, consistency, and performance for professional and civilian end users alike.
Aimpoint has licensed the use of the A-CUT with major firearm and accessory manufacturers, including many of the most prominent handgun manufacturers in the market. Additional factory-installed pistol and COA combinations are planned throughout the year, reinforcing Aimpoint’s objective to establish A-CUT as the industry standard for optic mounting on pistols.
A-CUT is a slide-integrated mounting interface that mechanically locks the optic in place, stabilizing it in all directions and eliminating movement under recoil. This mechanically locked interface removes the shear
forces normally placed on screws in traditional optic mounts. By utilizing a front hook and rear locking wedge and enabling a low-profile installation, A-CUT ensures consistent alignment, durability, and co-witness capability.
In addition to factory-installed OEM packages, COA will also be available as a standalone pistol sight. This option is intended for users who wish to install COA on an existing pistol. As COA requires an A-CUT interface, installation is carried out by licensed gunsmiths authorized to mill A-CUT. Aimpoint is rolling out a licensing program for professional gunsmiths, with applications available via Aimpoint’s website.

Bond Arms: Snake Slayer is the Ultimate Outdoor Protection
Granbury, TX (January 22, 2026) — America’s public lands continue to draw millions of outdoor enthusiasts each year. Hunters, anglers, hikers, ranchers, and adventurers who value time spent far from the pavement. While the outdoors offer unmatched freedom and solitude, they also come with unpredictable risks. From venomous snakes and aggressive wildlife to unexpected human threats, personal protection remains a priority for many who travel off the beaten path.
Designed with these realities in mind, the Bond Arms® Snake Slayer™ has earned its reputation as one of the most trusted and versatile defensive firearms for outdoor use. Compact, powerful, and exceptionally reliable, the Snake Slayer remains Bond Arms’ most popular model chosen by outdoorsmen and women who demand confidence in the field.
The Snake Slayer is available chambered in .357 Magnum/.38 Special, as well as a dual-caliber option accommodating both .45 Colt and .410 shotshells. Built for adaptability, the platform allows users to easily swap barrels, with additional caliber options available from Bond Arms, including .22 caliber. Every Snake Slayer features Bond Arms’ renowned safety and durability standards, including a cross-bolt safety, retracting firing pins, a full trigger guard, and a spring-loaded cammed locking lever.
Constructed entirely of stainless steel, the Snake Slayer delivers rugged performance in harsh environments while maintaining a clean, classic aesthetic. A patented rebounding and locking hammer automatically returns to a safe position after firing, while the extended rosewood grip etched with the Snake Slayer emblem and finished with snakeskin-style checkering.
The 3.5-inch barrel is equipped with a front blade and fixed rear sights and accommodates 2.5- to 3-inch shells, depending on caliber. With an overall length of 5.5 inches and a weight of 22 ounces, the Snake Slayer balances portability with formidable stopping power.
Built for those who take self-reliance seriously, the Bond Arms Snake Slayer continues to set the standard for compact outdoor defense.

48th Show Closes With Big Crowds, Big Deals, Big Innovation
LAS VEGAS — The 48th annual SHOT Show®, owned and operated by NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, concluded today after an action-packed week that energized more than 53,000 industry professionals. Held across The Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum, this year’s SHOT Show saw attendees from all 50 states and 126 countries, reaffirming its role as the industry’s global epicenter for innovation and commerce.
With 2,744 exhibitors spanning 834,500-plus net square feet — including the full spectrum of target shooting, hunting, outdoor recreation, personal defense and law enforcement sectors — the 2026 SHOT Show demonstrated the strength of the firearm industry at every turn.
“This was a SHOT Show for the ages,” said Chris Dolnack, NSSF Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer. “It was a week of nonstop movement, meetings and momentum. Every aisle was packed, every booth was buzzing and every conversation felt important. This is where business gets done, where ideas launch and where the industry shows just how strong — and united — it really is.”
Beyond the show floor, the SHOT Show generates a lasting impact. As a trade-only event, it fuels NSSF’s purpose to advocate, educate and communicate on behalf of the industry. Revenue from the show helps fund NSSF’s hallmark initiatives — from Project ChildSafe® and Operation Secure Store® to its suicide prevention program “Have a Brave Conversation,” FixNICS® and Don’t Lie for the Other Guy™ — all parts of Real Solutions. Safer Communities.®
“Each person who attends or exhibits at the SHOT Show plays a vital role in shaping the future of our industry,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi. “Their presence here supports the critical work we do year-round to advocate on behalf of our industry, grow participation and make our communities safer. We thank everyone in attendance for helping to fuel our mission.”
Sentiments from the Show Floor
“The firearm industry is evolving now more than ever,” said Adam Ruonala, VP of Sales and Marketing at Canik. “The tides are shifting and there always needs to be a center point to help companies stay focused. The SHOT Show is that lighthouse and in 2026 it is shining bright.”
“SHOT Show is the heartbeat of the firearms industry. It’s where we get to connect face-to-face with the manufacturers and dealers who actually move this industry forward,” said Elliot Aquila, CMO of Silencer Shop. “We’re proud to be here building the relationships that make Silencer Shop what it is.”
“The quality of connections, customer interactions and collaborative opportunities we gain at SHOT Show surpass every other event we attend,” said Buck Holly Founder and CEO of C&H Precision. “If you are serious about operating in this industry, this is not an optional event. You need to be here.”
“The SHOT Show is the center of gravity for our strategy and helps guide how we execute it throughout the year. What we hear and learn here plays a direct role in how we move forward,” said Rick Elder, CEO of HUXWRX Safety Co.
“The SHOT Show is truly the highest concentration of resources in the industry, and it serves as an invaluable asset to our company,” said Jim West, Co-founder and CEO of Lake Erie Arms. “I look forward to taking the ideas and information back to the rest of my team to implement new strategies, helping us continue to grow our business and improve efficiency.”
“Being a first-time exhibitor here at the SHOT Show has been phenomenal for us. The new friendships and relationships we’ve made so far will accelerate our brand’s growth,” said Thunlwyn Garcia of Elos Thermal. “It’s been super informative and we’re definitely going to come back next year.”
Leadership, Education and Collaboration
This year’s SHOT Show again brought together state and national leaders for high-level discussions on policy and progress. The Fifth Annual Governors’ Forum hosted seven U.S. governors, who shared strategies to attract and retain firearm businesses in their states. The Third Annual Attorneys General Forum fostered legal dialogue around preserving Second Amendment rights.
In addition to state leadership, SHOT Show 2026 welcomed senior federal officials, underscoring the event’s importance as a forum for direct engagement between industry leaders and policymakers. Attendees included U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, White House Counsel David Warrington, and U.S. Assistant AG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, who met with industry stakeholders and observed firsthand the scale, professionalism and economic impact of the firearm, hunting and outdoor sectors.
Retailers, range operators and law enforcement professionals attended dozens of training sessions through SHOT University™, the Law Enforcement Education Program (LEEP) and export and compliance courses — gaining actionable knowledge to drive success and ensure compliance in a dynamic market.
A new highlight this year was the Suicide Prevention Town Hall, a powerful addition to NSSF’s ongoing efforts in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the suicide prevention community. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins delivered opening remarks at the event, which was followed by a panel of suicide prevention experts and firearm industry representatives who shared how the industry and the firearm-owning community can make a difference and save lives.
“Suicide is preventable. We have materials, we have resources. I want the industry to know, there is something we can do,” Bartozzi said. “No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.”
SHOT Week Highlights
Events held throughout SHOT Week® added even more momentum. The NSSF/HAVA Golf Classic raised funds for Honored American Veterans Afield, while Industry Day at the Range™ gave media and buyers hands-on access to the newest firearms and gear.
The Supplier Showcase returned stronger than ever, connecting more than 600 OEM third-party suppliers with manufacturers to streamline the supply chain and spark product development.
This year’s SHOT Show opened with a powerful nod to America’s 250th anniversary. An unforgettable “Celebration of Freedom” drone show lit up the Las Vegas sky on opening night, honoring America’s heritage and symbolizing the industry’s enduring commitment to preserving constitutional rights and outdoor traditions for future generations.
The New Product Center once again proved to be a magnet for attendees, offering a first look at hundreds of the latest innovations across every category. From cutting-edge optics to next-gen accessories, it served as a launchpad for what’s new and what’s next in the industry.
Kim Rhode, one of the most decorated U.S. Olympic athletes and a lifelong ambassador for the shooting sports was awarded the NSSF Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award.
Also returning was the Archery Business + Hunting Retailer Pavilion, featuring the latest crossbow and archery innovations for a fast-growing segment of the industry.
Thank You to Our Sponsors
NSSF extends its deepest appreciation to all this year’s sponsors. Their support enhances every aspect of the SHOT Show, from networking events to on-site resources, and plays a vital role in the show’s success.

Olympic Great Kim Rhode Receives the NSSF Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award
LAS VEGAS—Kim Rhode, one of the most decorated U.S. Olympic athletes and a lifelong ambassador for the shooting sports, today received the NSSF Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award—the highest honor presented by NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association.
Rhode was recognized as the recipient of the award at the NSSF Members Meeting during the firearm industry’s annual trade show, the SHOT Show®.
“Kim Rhode has made unparalleled achievements as a shooting athlete in the Olympic Games and other elite competitions, and she has used her standing to promote the enjoyment and benefits of recreational shooting to all,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi. “We are proud of her success in competition and of her sportsmanship and goodwill—all of which have made her an icon in and beyond the firearms community. We’re pleased to present Kim with the Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award here at industry’s biggest event—the SHOT Show.”
The NSSF Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes individuals who have distinguished themselves by their long-term commitment to the success of the industry and by their support of NSSF’s mission to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports.
“I’m honored to accept the Ken Sedlecky Lifetime Achievement Award from NSSF,” said Rhode. “This award represents so many of the ideals I try to uphold, such as celebrating the shooting sports, teaching youth and adults to enjoy our sports safely and responsibly and making the most of one’s abilities. In addition to my appreciation for this recognition, I want to thank NSSF for its many programs that help grow participation in the shooting sports and hunting. Some of these programs have helped develop new generations of Olympic medal winners for the United States.”
Rhode stepped onto the Olympic medal podium for the first time at age 17, winning the gold medal in double trap at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. That achievement sparked an extraordinary run of success. Over three decades, Rhode would compete in six consecutive Olympic Games, earning six medals—three gold, one silver and two bronze. Rhode became the first American athlete in any individual sport to medal across six Olympics, and she remains the only American athlete to have competed at the Olympic level in all three shotgun disciplines: international double trap, international skeet and bunker trap.
After the Olympics eliminated the double trap competition, Rhode, undeterred, transitioned to skeet shooting and won additional medals, including a gold at the 2012 London Games where her performance equaled the world record. On top of her Olympic shooting success, Rhode has captured 15 U.S. National Championships and more than 50 international medals earned across five continents, including World Cups, World Championships, World Cup Finals and Pan American Games.
Away from competition, Rhode’s contributions to recreational shooting, with emphasis on helping youth and women get started, are extensive. She serves as a Vice President of the International Shooting Sport Federation, is a board member of USA Shooting and sits on the Executive Board of the Kids & Clays Foundation, a shooting-based philanthropic organization that has raised millions of dollars to support families with seriously ill children. She has been a firearm safety advocate, notably in collaboration with NSSF’s Project ChildSafe® program.
To Rhode, these roles are not positions, but responsibilities. “They are an extension of my belief that the shooting sports should strengthen communities as much as they produce champions,” she said.
Rhode hasn’t given up her quest to add a seventh Olympic medal to her wall. She is pursuing qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. She also has a role in supporting cooperation between the International Shooting Sport Federation and the LA 2028 Olympic movement, working to ensure Olympic shooting sports are well represented, understood and positioned for the future.
The NSSF achievement award’s namesake, Ken Sedlecky, had a long career at Smith & Wesson, was inducted into the National Skeet Shooting Hall of Fame and was known for mentoring new youth and adult target shooters.
