This is no ordinary PVS-4. TNVC has taken the old units and replaced everything so you have all new seas and rubber. They have also upgraded the internals to Gen 3 tubes. These old-new PVS-4 units will cost around $3000.

Finally, I got my hands on the new KMR from BCM! There are a lot of good options on the market right now, but this may be the best, it's also ver light.

Leica Geovid binoculars. These things are very cool, they do a lot more than just ranging. It allows you to customize ballistics curve for your load via micro-SD card, and displays atmospheric conditions (temp, pressure, incline) for input into an external ballistics app.

Unity Tactical had some ATOM slide equipped Glocks on display to the TNVC booth. We all know the slides are nice, but what had my attention was their trigger. It's intended as an upgrade for duty pistols with a 5lb pull, but it breaks so nicely I though it was a sub-3lb trigger. I might run one in my target Glock as is, bit I really hope they decide to do a lighter version eventually. They didn't say when it will be available...

And that concludes my coverage of SHOT 2014.  There would be more, but again, the hard drive...

The Tac-Con trigger.

Tac-Con Trigger 1

The Tac-Con trigger does let you shoot fast, but I'm still undecided if that's because of the sear, or if it's just a really good single stage trigger. Two magazines doesn't really give you a good feel for what it's all about.

I couldn't get this thing to run as fast as some of the other folks I saw at the line but I'm sure I did better than I would have last year in the 0 Kelvin temperatures.  I bet with practice, one could get it going pretty quick. 

It was a nice trigger, to be sure, but I think they might be over-hyping it a bit.  The "Man, this thing is fast.  It even comes with an ATF letter saying it isn't an NFA item"  line just felt like a solid marketing ploy - it's not shocking that the ATF FTB found that the Tac-Con trigger doesn't turn a semi-auto AR into a machine gun. 

The third mode provides "positive reset" of the trigger so that by the time the bolt is finished cycling, the trigger is reset for another short 4.5# match grade semi-auto shot, letting you rattle off shots as quickly as you can move your trigger and as accurately as your rifle and your abilities will allow.  The guy their range day shooting bay described it as "instead of increasing the cycle time of the action, they reduce the cycle time of the trigger."

Moro Vision has become one of my favoriate booths at SHOT. They always seem to have the most interesting and useful night vision accessories. Last year it was a Gen 3 tube you could mount directly on a DSLR that used standard lenses to produce full frame images at the focal range of your choosing. This year they have a system that allows you mount your PVS-14 in front of a day optic. Anything that makes your PVS 14 more versatile is a good thing in my book. Especially considering the cost of a PVS-22 unit...

They consistently bring good stuff to show off.
