If you had TOLD me you'd be in Palm Springs, I would have come over there and bought the cold ones and/or bottle! Next time, don't be so shy. I will do the same if I make it to your neck of the woods.

Veni, Vidi, Veci.
Good to meet MM, Eggroll, APLP, Sinister Dave, and a bunch of guys from some other boards.
Seriously, as MM will tell you, it was too much to recap in total here. I took my wife's pedometer, and by it, I walked 45 miles in 4 days at the show. There were thousands of booths, including several dedicated to airsofters, Kalifornia and other places where real guns are frowned on.
Will try to answer specific questions, if there are any.
TR

My opinion is just that and reflects my personal prejudices toward the weapons I choose to use.
I thought that the H&K M-4 uppers, the Sage International M-14s, the SIG 1911 pistols, the new Remington 870 LE package, the latest M-249 and M-240 variants, the new Leupold 3-9x MRT and Nightforce 2.5-10x NXS optics, the new Surefire LED lights (L1, L2, L-4, U-2), the LeMas ammo show (with X-Rays and documented post mortems) and some Eagle nylon were all interesting and worth taking a look at.
I was on a budget and bought a few Surefire LED lights, a new ARMS #40 L BUIS, a set of Badger Ordnance rings, an Otis cleaning kit, a couple of sets of Trijicon night sights, several pieces of Eagle nylon, a couple of new model Ergo grips, a couple of new Photon Microlights, a Photon Fusion headlamp, and some ammo.
HTH.

IT was good to link up with everyone there - Wish I could have stuck around on Sunday... buying binge and all
The Scorpion Camo display at Eagle was interesting.
TR - Will keep you advised on the progress of that mag carrier design.
Impressions? The SOCOM 16 M1A was interesting, although the tactical FAL from DSA will be my next purchase on the 762 list.
The PCA (Polymer Cased Ammunition) from NATEC was an interesting concept.
I'd have to concur with most of TR's bullet points on notable items of interest.
Looking forward to future collaborations

sorry but Eagle had a case of the crunchies when I started talking pix, especially after being intro'd as a gear builder.
I'll shoot over what I have though.

I have to admit, I took no photos, as it made some people nervous. Well, even more nervous than they normally are.
Egg did get some decent ones.
I would also add that the new Leatherman Wave and Charge Ti looked great, and should be out soon. Better sheaths, better blade configs, LOCKING, non-bunching blades, built in accessory driver and the New Wave is $6 LESS than the old.
The Charge is super nice, with extra blades, very trick carrying options, and Titanium scales, but is a bit more $ than the wave.
Can scan pics from the 50 lbs. of catalogs I brought home, though, if desired.

I'm curious - Did anyone get a look at the new and improved trijicon tri-power? I hear that it was fixed/improved somehow.
