was a lot for the 73,740 attendees to see and do! It was the biggest
“NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits” on record in terms of both exhibit
space and attendance. If all of the booths on the exhibit floor were
arranged in a single row, the guns and gear would have stretched more
than 3 miles!
Among the highlights of the exhibit floor were
several firearms. Some of which were the Ruger 22/45 Lite and the Smith
& Wesson M&P; Shield which were introduced to consumers that
Friday morning, April 13th. Springfield Armory Marketing Manager Chad

XDS pistol.
