2014 SHOT Show

With over 67,000 attendees, the 2014 SHOT Show was bigger and arguably better than ever before. Vault Pro joined 1600 of the firearm industries elite manufacturers, distributors and industry leaders as an exhibitor at SHOT Show this year. After meeting with hundreds of industry professionals and hearing their plans for the future, believe me when I tell you…”The Firearms Industry is alive and well!”

Vault Pro exhibited three fantastic new custom safes, two with 2” Step Doors, Automatic L.E.D. Lighting & Electrical, Custom Convertible Interiors, Custom Paint by One Way George, One of a kind hand pin-striping & branding by the Legendary Mr. Tom Kelly. We also showed off our new 4-way bolt locking system, our new satin nickel and black chrome handles and previewed our Hand Gun Pro Box.

Vault Pro’s new “Hand Gun Pro Box” (patent pending) was very well received and will be in production for the 2014 model year. For those of you waiting, I am going as fast as our patent attorney can go.  

In the New Products Division we also displayed a glowing Bright Blue Metallic Huntsman Safe with Silver Double Pinstripe & Digital Lock. This safe has been dubbed the ‘Secret Squirrel’ and conceals two hidden floor compartments that are undetectable even with the door wide open.

The ladies were well represented this year. Vault Pro was located right across from Flashbang Holsters who had a nonstop flow of lovely and likely lethal ladies checking out their latest Bra Holsters. Shady Lady Shooting “Gun Cases For Girls” had pink everything on display. Tonya McCoy & Courtney from “Sergeant Molly’s” stopped by and will be setting up a woman’s shooting and apparel shop in Greensboro, North Carolina this year…Good Luck Ladies. Vanessa “TacticalGirl” Swainston was sleek and stunning in all black and ear to ear smile. I saw pink grips, guns, carry cases and pink accessories just about everywhere I looked. 2014 looks like a great year for women in the shooting industry.

Steve Sermersheim from Fort Knox and too many Browning guys to name came by to check out our safes as well as Curt Price from C.E. Safes who came all the way from Florida; Mike harper from California Safe Co.; Gary Kennedy from Kennedy’s Korner Gun Safes in Texas; Joe Greene from US Safe Room in Wilkesboro, North Carolina; Cliff from Cliff’s Guns, Safes & Reloading in Boise Idaho; Ron Godwin at El Cajon Gun Exchange in Southern California, Allen Loree from Defcon Shelters in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Ben Tomb from Protector XT in Pocopson, PA, and too many other like minded individuals trying to keep our loved ones safe and our weapons secure.  I enjoyed meeting with you all and am looking forward to either working with you or competing with you this year.  

I had a blast meeting with Outside Connections, Jim Braaten and his wife at the V-Bar tweet up Monday before the show.  Jim, thanks for everything.

There will be many shows and events during the 2014 year but SHOT Show leads off the year with a very hard to follow act.  Even though I thought my feet would fall off and my voice was lost for a couple of days I am looking forward to a much larger presence at the 2015 SHOT Show.  It too will be “TOO GOOD TO MISS”.
