TFB SHOT Show 2025: Industry Day At The Range

It's the week of the SHOT Show 2025 and before the doors open to the exhibition floors, the media and the firearms industry gathered for the Industry Range Day where they get to shoot the various new offerings from those attending the trade fair. Here is a compilation of reports that firearms enthusiasts and airsoft players can go over and determine what interests them.

This year, Guns of America got a closer look at Biofire's revolutionary "Smart Gun" introduced at SHOT Show 2025. This innovative product is designed for safety and security.

Guns of America also checked out the Savage REVEL DLX, a modern take on the classic lever-action rimfire rifle. With its satin-finished walnut stock, threaded barrel for suppressors, and smooth-as-butter lever action, this .22 looks to be a good blend of tradition and innovation. Whether you're looking for plinking, hunting, or looking for a reliable backpack rifle, the REVEL DLX may just be what you need.

The Firearm Blog also had a busy day at the range. They tried out the Kel-Tec PR57 Compact 5.7x28mm EDC Pistol, a groundbreaking lightweight pistol designed for everyday carry. Chambered in 5.7x28mm, it boasts an innovative top-loading design with a 20+1 round capacity, eliminating the need for traditional magazines.

Another gun The Firearm Blog checked out was the Smith & Wesson Model 10 Classic which makes its triumphant return at SHOT Show 2025, and this time it’s got a major update enthusiasts have been waiting for—no internal lock!

The Firearm Blog also got to see the Tikka T3x & T1x Ace Rifles, unveiled at SHOT Show 2025, designed to set a new standard in precision shooting. Whether you're a long-range competitor, a rimfire enthusiast, or a dedicated hunter, the Tikka Ace series has a rifle tailored for your needs.

At the range, the Mud Gunner got to shoot a variety of new guns, and suppressors on the market as well as see new products coming out!

The Silencer Syndicate also showed off New Suppressors from B&T, PTR Industries, Huxwrx, and Aero Precision.

At the exhibition floor, we see our friends from Retro Motif of Taiwan at booth #43728 where they showcased the Bolt Action Style Ballpoint Pen as their primary product highlight. This pen, inspired by the action of a gun's bolt, extends its refill with a cool, mechanical motion. This unique design not only enhances the writing experience but also adds a playful element to daily use. The pen immediately captured the attention of buyers, establishing itself as a key attraction at the exhibition. Other products on display, likely already familiar to many going to MOA Exhibition in Taipei, further complemented the booth's offerings.
