Las Vegas, NV —I’ve been to every SHOT Show since its inception decades ago.   This is the largest Gun Show in the world and here every serious firearm or accessory maker exhibits their wares. The show is not open to the public and media credentials are only handed out after careful vetting.   Licensed firearm dealers, manufacturers, or other industry related professionals are invited to look over miles of exhibits.   Products are not sold at the show but qualified licensed dealers   make their orders stocking their stores for the next year at this show. CRIMEFILE NEWS sponsored by Eagle Grips with the assistance of guest hostess, Ariel Vitalia interviewed some select exhibitors.   Those interviews are below. Let me apologize in advance for the 20 second Eagle Grips commercial before each interview.   I think you get the message only seeing that ad once!   I must however after my 40 year association say that Eagle Grips are the industry’...

Phoenix, AZ --In this state where concealed carrying if firearms by law-abiding citizens requires no license or permits the choices of guns are unlimited.  However I teach and preach that conflict avoidance is the best policy.  Walk softly but carry a big stick is the right way. Here is a lovely pair of somewhat effective hideout guns.  One is the Smith & Wesson Model 340PD .357 Magnum.  The other is a vintage High Standard .22 Magnum derringer. Both of these guns are outfitted with elegant Kirinite grips from www.eaglegrips.com .  The color of this set is called LAVA and you'll never find a more durable or stronger material for gun grips than this incredible Kirinite. The color or pattern choices are nearly limitless.  This is all about personalizing your firearms.  

Las Vegas, NV —Firearms, and accessory manufacturers, along with law enforcement and hunting related exhibitors filled the Sands Convention Center last week. Some 67,000 people attended and Sin City got a needed financial boost.   Local businesses benefit along with the tax coffers. What’s so amazing is that cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC will never get that financial benefit of this or the NRA Annual Meeting, Convention and Exhibit.   If we ever came to these cites we’d all wind up wearing handcuffs and watch our property confiscated.   With all the guns and gun toting attendees there are never accidents or any kind of violence in the cities we visit.   The crime rate goes down because the local thugs all know they are in for a serious challenge if they try and victimize these convention visitors.  More guns never brings more crime.  The SHOT Show is huge.   Covering the show as a full time multimedia journ...

Carol Stream, IL —In the Western suburb of The Windy City stands a business called Eagle Grips .  I have had a personal association with this firm since it began in 1971.  Back then I was a young cop just out of the Army.  I always liked guns so when I could get off on weekends I’d hit local gun shows.  Back then there were fewer gun bans and the gun shows were larger however the selection of available guns and accessories were limited by today’s standards.   Aftermarket gun grips were the made by a few companies and the pickings were slim.  That changed for me when I saw a Sikh Indian man at a table exhibiting grips at the then popular Waukegan Gun Show . At the time gun grip materials were usually either made from walnut wood or rubber.  The choices were limited.  There are problems with rubber grabbing your clothes and printing out through your clothing with telltale signs that you’re packing heat.   Walnut wood is to...

Carol Stream, IL —In this western Chicago suburb is a business I’ve been associated with for over four decades, Eagle Grips.   It’s a high end gun grip maker that has graced hundreds of gun magazine cover throughout the world.  They offer genuine ivory, Sambar Stag, Mother of Pearl and American Elk Grips along with Rosewood and Ebony wood.   Now they developed a new process creating a material called Kirinite .  I can’t describe this material anything short of elegant and wonderful.  The material is impervious to dulling or scratching and the grips stick to the hands and fingers of the shooters.  Every possible property you’d ever want.
