Looking around and it looks like the STG 556 comes in a Hardcase and it looks beautiful.

I know one thing we will see in the year 2011 at shot show...a shit load of 1911s...from every company you can think of. 100 years baby!

Yeah lots of Ar-15s and 1911s.

I head microtec is having pistol caliber AR clones and a 9mm the size of a naa guardian, and that GSG (the people who have the mp5 clone) will have something new, i hope its a 22 ak.

Yep, that's what I'm expecting to be the main event. Except that there are going to be so many commemorative 1911s by so many different manufacturers that it's going to be overwhelming (gun rags will probably have to do entire issues dedicated to the "centennial" 1911s of next year).

Trijicon is making 6x acogs with wider objective lenses.

I've heard nothing but bad things about the AUG, why would anyone want a civilian version?

The problem is its a bullpup, awkward reloads and crappy trigger. The aug has a rep as solidly built though, and the microtec is supposed to have a better trigger and accuracy on par with steyr.

The p210 looks awesome, its supposed to match accuracy of old models, but has a grip mag release, smoother more deliberate safety lever, and a beavertail rehape.

It'll be pricy but made to be a competition gun.
