Spartan Tactical and the DS Arms Law Enforcement Training Division once again had a vendor booth on display at the 33rd Annual SHOT SHOW Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The DS Arms booth was visited by thousands of attendees inquiring about DS Arms latest products and Spartan Tactical training courses.
Overall show attendance was 57,390, about 1050 attendee's less than last year's event.
There were 1,600 exhibitors displaying thousands of firearms industry products this year over 630,000 square feet of exhibition space at the Sands Expo & Convention Center. The show attracted an all time high of 31,769 buyers and 2,074 media professionals, setting new records for both.
This year's convention was very exciting for DS Arms as we unveiled the newest models of the Spartan Operator Series ZM-4 5.56 rifles and SA58 .308 rifles, including our new FAL SA58 .308 handgun!
Show attendees also had a chance to take a first hand look at other new firearms and products released by various companies at this year's convention.
Mark your calendar for next year's SHOT SHOW Convention to be held at the Sands Expo & Convention Center again in Las Vegas January 17th - 20th, 2012. See you there!
