Shot Show and new California firearms

Anyone else kinda underwhelmed with the announcements thus far; polymer wonder 9mm pistols and new cartridges that'll fall off the market in 18 months.
Every year is like this. If you’ve ever read Jeff Cooper’s writings (The Gunsite Gossip books), he said the same thing. In fact, he felt in 20th century there were only 3 rifle innovations: Wild West take down lever actions, straight pull Blaser rifles, forget the third but it might have been the scout. I think it’s hard to innovate these days in general. Will have to wait for hand held lasers.

Honestly the most interesting thing I've seen come from this week was the collapsible MRAD rifle for the civilian market. 2011s are neat (and not particularly meaningful to CA) but it all just feels like a new shade of paint on the same car.
 
All these comped pistols being released must be driving you nuts 🤣
haha well as long as they also put out non-comped versions I don't really care, people can shoot what they like. But it is weird that Sig for instance put out a double stack 1911 with a comp before the non-comped ones because competition-wise the non comped ones are more popular so they could have had free advertising from competitors.

the biggest innovations for rifles is just bullet shape and cartridge. Making super slippery long heavy for caliber bullets with high BC changed everything including how much powder you need behind it.
 
For the roster or sse?
probably roster as they have already added a couple 1911s with all the stupid safety features to the roster
