If you can make it to this show, you are really in for a treat. All the newest equipment and weapons are introduced at this show, and it is a massive event. Look for reviews of gear at a few of the forums on youtube, and especially at a few of the top equipment bloggers like Soldier Systems. The SHOT Show website has a lot of cool highlights as well.
So far, I am liking the new and old stuff from Lewis Machine and Tool. Here is a tour brought to you by Defensetech. –Matt
Edit: The Gear Scout at Military Times has a great review of new products at SHOT 09.
