It is now Day Two of SHOT Show 2026 in Las Vegas. There are huge crowds visiting the thousands of display booths in the “miles of aisles” (19 acres to be precise). Over 52,000 people have registered for the event. This year’s SHOT Show encompasses two facilities — the Venetian Expo AND the new Caesars Forum. Combined, these facilities provide over 830,000 net square feet of exhibit space. The two trade show halls are connected by an elevated walking bridge.

Interesting New Products at SHOT Show 2026

Century Arms ATA ALR — Affordable Precision Rifle

At SHOT Show, Century Arms showcased the new ATA ALR Tactical Rifle. Chambered in .308 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor, this modular rifle comes complete with adjustable aluminum chassis and muzzle brake. This could be a good starter rifle for PRS/NRL competition that does double duty as a hunting rig. And the ATA ALR is just $1099.99. That’s a great deal — you can pay that much just for an aftermarket chassis system.

Smith & Wesson New Metal-Frame Handguns

Smith & Wesson has many new products coming out in 2026. Many impressive new handguns have been seen at this year’s SHOT Show. This video covers some very impressive S&W handguns that feature aluminum and steel frames. The first pistol is the S&W SPEC VI with aluminum frame, ported barrel, and pre-installed Aimport optic. Next the reviewer covers the impressive steel-framed HD series pistols — both standard and competitor models. With good ergonomics and triggers, these are great for action pistol games.

MDT New Ultra-Light Chassis — Just 3.2 Pounds

In this video MDT Product engineer Josh Botha reviews the new MDT DRT lightweight chassis. This was designed for lighter weight for easier carry in the field by hunters. DRT stands for “Dead Right There” and this models was designed for “precision night hunting”. The chassis bare weight is just 3.2 pounds a significant reduction compared to previous MDT ACC chassis systems.

Ryan Cleckner — New Seekins SIC Multi-Caliber Sniper Rifle

Ryan Cleckner is a respected gun journalist and former Army Sniper marksman and Sniper Instructor. In this video, at the 1:00-minute mark, Ryan spotlights the innovative Seekins SIC rifle crafted specifically for U.S. Special Operations. This rifle is designed to allow quick and easy barrel/bolt/magazine swaps so you can shoot multiple cartridge types with the same rifle. The Seekins SIC rifle is built to withstand extreme environments while letting the operator rapidly select and swap calibers to meet mission criteria. The $8900.00 Seekins SIC is a “purpose-driven, modular system” — not a chassis retrofitted to accept a barreled action.

New Hunting Rifles — Many Rifles Reviewed

This employs manufacture-supplied video clips, but it’s a good starting point if you’re shopping for a new hunting and/or varmint rifle. The video covers the pros and cons of these hunting rigs. Note, there is considerable annoying commentary in this video, but it does have good footage of the rifles and shows the bolts working and the rifles cycling. In order, the featured rifles are:
