Shot Show 2026 The Latest & Greatest from G-Code Tactical

G-Code Tactical at SHOT Show 2026: what caught my attention on the show floor

SHOT Show 2026 in Las Vegas (Jan 20–23 at the Venetian Expo + Caesars Forum) was packed with the usual chaos: bright lights, overloaded backpacks, and enough “mission-ready” buzzwords to make a grown man roll his eyes into next week. So I did what I always do — walked the floor looking for gear that solves real problems, not just “Instagram problems.”

G-Code Tactical was one of those stops.

Holsters and carry gear are one of those categories where you find out real quick who actually uses their own stuff. Anybody can make something that looks cool on a wall. The question is whether it holds up when you’re moving, sweating, sitting in a car, training hard, and doing normal life without constantly adjusting your setup like it’s a loose tie.

What I focused on at the booth

I’m not here to read a catalog out loud. On the show floor, I’m looking at:

Fit and retention: how positive the lockup feels, how consistent the draw is, and whether the retention feels secure without being obnoxious.

Carry comfort: ride height, cant options, and whether the rig feels like it was designed for humans who sit down.

Modularity: how quickly you can change setups, mounts, or configurations without needing a parts bin and a prayer.

Build quality: materials, edge finishing, hardware choices, and whether it looks like it’ll stay tight after real use.

The G-Code lane: modular, duty-capable, and built for real carry

G-Code’s whole ecosystem has always leaned into modularity — and that’s the part that still matters. People’s needs change. Sometimes you’re carrying IWB. Sometimes OWB. Sometimes you’re training. Sometimes you need to swap lights or change belts or change the whole mission set.

The impression at SHOT 2026 was that G-Code is still doing what they do best: building carry gear that’s meant to be configured to the shooter instead of forcing the shooter to adapt to the gear.

The details that matter more than marketing

Here’s what I like about brands that do holsters and gear right: they sweat the boring stuff.

• Hardware that stays tight
• Edges that don’t chew you up
• Retention that’s positive and repeatable
• Systems that don’t require you to “figure it out” every morning

That’s the difference between gear you trust and gear you tolerate.

No “how-to,” no hype — just an overview

Quick housekeeping: this was a show-floor overview. Everything I’m sharing is observational and educational. I’m not providing instructions on building, modifying, or manufacturing anything. Follow all safety rules and always use gear as intended.

What’s next

SHOT Show is step one. The real story is always time and use: does it stay comfortable, does it stay secure, and does it keep working when the new-gear excitement wears off.

So here’s what I’m doing next:

Keeping an eye on G-Code’s 2026 product updates and what actually hits steady availability after SHOT week.

If you want me to prioritize a specific G-Code holster or setup for a deeper dive, tell me which one and what you’re carrying it with. “Because I’m tired of my current holster” is a perfectly valid answer.
