Lanes of new and interesting guns and ammo were on display at the 2022 SHOT Show Industry Day at the Range in Nevada on Monday.
Billed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation as the “largest, most influential one-day event in the hunting and shooting sports,” over 1,700 members of the media and firearm buyers swarmed the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club the day before SHOT Show got underway to check out the latest wares from over 200 manufacturers across the firearms industry.
The day is always a great chance to see all the cool new guns that have been released in the past year, and, as SHOT was cancelled in 2021, there was some catching up to do. (Photo: Chris Eger/Guns.com)

Speaking of stretching, Maxim Defense is growing from the short game this year with the MD:11 series rifle. (Photo: Chris Eger/Guns.com)
Maxim is also increasingly moving into the ammo field, and was showing off its new frangible 5.56, which we understand is safe on indoor ranges, with users running it off steel at just a few feet away. (Photo: Chris Eger/Guns.com)
Lots of ammo to be had, hopefully a trend that will continue in 2022.
