SHOT Show?

[tslex]

OT, but wondering if anyone else will be attending SHOT in LV in January.
My practice includes several clients in the firearms, related gear and security realms, so I'm headed out to see some of them and -- one hopes -- make some new contacts.
Anyone here going to attend? Always interesting to meet forum pals in the real world.

I'm planning to be there.

I can't go. Keep an eye out for any interesting air rifles for me!

Haunted, can an air rifle get powerful enough for home. Defense? I always figured a barrage of .22 copper pellets could get pretty gnarly at about 1500fps.

no. for home defense you want a shotgun, or a handgun of .380 or better caliber. and lots of training. and possibly frangible ammo, especially if you plan on having something like 9mm, which can easily go through your wall, out the house and through a wall or 2 of the neighbor's house too. unless you're an awesome shot you have to imagine what a perpetrator might potentially do during the 15 to 45 minutes he's bleeding and really pissed at getting shot with a .22 before blood loss does him in.
