The S<\/strong>hooting H<\/strong>unting and O<\/strong>utdoor T<\/strong>rade show is the premier gathering of the firearms industry to display new products for the year. Official opening day of the show is Tuesday the 23rd<\/sup>, but today is when the firearms and outdoor writer press actually get to shoot the new guns.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t be there this year due to scheduling conflict, so Backwoods Home\u2019<\/em>s eyes and ears for 2018 belong to my good friend Jim Fitzpatrick, who is representing the magazine there.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Jim\u2019s report from today:<\/p>\n

From \u201cSIG Day\u201d:<\/p>\n

M17 with a new to market RMR, very sweet shooting pistol.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MPX chambered in 9mm was awesome.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 300 Blackout suppressed was my favorite of the day, I was able to hit a hostage rescue target @50meters standing over and over. Very impressed indeed.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Most accurate was the P210 Target, great trigger, dead on sights.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The highly anticipated P365, everyone was ready to get their hands on this pistol. Fortunately for me, I got first crack at it.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My thoughts are as follows.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The P365 is just a touch smaller than a Glock 43 in slide length and height, what impressed me the most is the trigger. The trigger is nice and smooth with a crisp break. Grip is what you would expect of a pistol this size. This is a very shootable pistol with great concealability and capacity.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Overall impressions, this is going to be a very hot item for 2018. I think it will be a game changer for concealed carry.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The motif on these two SIGs get a thumbs-up from Our Man At SHOT, Jim Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n
