The biggest firearms industry event in the world, the NSSF’s annual Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show, is going to be missing some of the larger names.
With a surge in COVID cases nationwide, Sig Sauer, Springfield Armory, and Beretta have all pulled out of the upcoming Las Vegas event, set for Jan. 18-21.
The latter company includes a ton of European-based subsidiaries such as Benelli, Tikka, and Sako.
Odds are that other large companies will drop out– after all, SHOT 2021 was canceled as a whole– but you can bet there will be no shortage of smaller companies showing up, hungry to pick up the slack.
