Last day of SHOT Show 2017 (19 Photos)
SHOT Show, the world’s largest gathering of firearms industry professionals, is an exercise in walking, walking, walking, to find a booth, meet a contact, or grab more data. Tuesday through Thursday, the effect of companies’ larger-than-life and otherwise stunning displays at the Sands Expo is sometimes diminished by the presence of the omnipresent, thick crowds. But on Friday, more than half the attendees have gone home. Suddenly, it’s a different show. A person can browse instead of pressing into a sea of humanity. Huge displays take on an even greater looming presence. It’s not quiet, but the decibel level is much reduced. This gallery of Friday shots attempts to showcase the visual impressiveness of the 2017 show.
