47th SHOT Show: Global Gun Industry's Premier Event Draws 55,000 Attendees
The 47th SHOT Show, the premier trade event for the global gun industry, is currently underway in Las Vegas. With over 55,000 attendees from all 50 U.S. states and 119 countries, the show is a testament to the industry's international reach and influence.
Spanning over 830,000 square feet at The Venetian Expo and the nearby Caesars Forum, the SHOT Show hosts more than 2,800 exhibitors, creating over 14 miles of aisles for attendees to explore. This year's event features companies from multiple nations, with over 7,000 participants representing 32 countries.
The SHOT Show is not a consumer event but a trade gathering for those in the gun business. Almost all major U.S. gun retailers send representatives to the show to discover new products, place orders, and gauge customer demand. The show represents the $8.9 billion gun industry, serving as a hub for innovation and product introductions.
The SHOT Show, now in its 47th year, continues to grow and adapt, reflecting the evolution of the gun industry. Despite past political rhetoric, such as former President Joe Biden's reference to the industry as 'the enemy', the show remains a vital platform for industry professionals to network, showcase products, and drive the industry forward.
