Field-Tested Reviews. Pro-2A Perspective.
Straightforward coverage of firearms, optics, and tactical gear built on real range time. You get practical takeaways, clear disclosures, and no paid opinions presented as facts.
SHOT Show 2026 in Las Vegas (Jan 20–23 at the Venetian Expo + Caesars Forum) was the usual chaos: bright lights, packed aisles, and enough “game-changing” claims to fill a dump truck. So I did what I always do — I walked the floor looking for products that still make sense once the booth lighting stops flattering everything.
Sharps Bros was one of those stops.
If you’ve been around the builder world for any length of time, you already know their lane: distinctive design, aggressive styling, and parts that are meant to be used — not just posted. And SHOT 2026 felt like them continuing to do what they do best: making gear that turns heads and actually brings something functional to the table.
I’m not interested in reading a catalog out loud. On the show floor I’m looking at:
Fit and finish: clean machining, clean edges where it matters, and whether the part looks like it’ll hold up to real use.
Ergonomics and control: texture placement, index points, undercuts, and whether it helps you drive the gun harder instead of just looking cool.
Design intent: does the design add function, or is it “extra” for the sake of being extra?
Practical compatibility: how easy it is to integrate into common setups without turning into a proprietary scavenger hunt.
Sharps Bros doesn’t play in the “generic” category. Their stuff is instantly recognizable, and the styling is unapologetic. But what matters to me is whether that styling is paired with usable texture and functional shaping—because a lot of products look aggressive until your hands are sweaty and you’re trying to run fast strings.
From a show-floor perspective, their 2026 direction still feels centered on builder-friendly parts with personality, without losing sight of the basics: control, comfort, and durability.
The big takeaway at SHOT was simple: Sharps Bros is continuing to lean into:
More refined machining and finishing — the kind of small details that separate “cool idea” from “quality product.”
Grip and control features that actually matter — texture where you need it, and shaping that supports a consistent purchase.
A builder mindset — they’re clearly still targeting the people who want to customize and personalize their setups without sacrificing reliability or usability.
I’ll always give credit where it’s due: Sharps Bros has a look that’s hard to confuse with anyone else.
But I’m also not interested in “cool for the camera” parts that don’t help you shoot better. The reason their stuff keeps my attention is because the best of it feels like it’s built for shooters who actually run their gear — not just collectors chasing aesthetics.
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. If you handle firearms, follow all safety rules and manufacturer guidance — always.
SHOT Show is step one. The real story is always time and reps: how it holds up, how it feels after real use, and whether the “cool factor” still matters once you’re focused on performance.
So here’s what I’m doing next:
Keeping an eye on Sharps Bros’ 2026 releases and what actually hits steady availability after SHOT week.
If I get hands-on time with specific products, I’ll break them down the way I always do — what works, what doesn’t, and what matters after the honeymoon phase.
If you want me to prioritize a specific Sharps Bros product for a deeper dive, tell me which one. “Because it looks sick” is still a valid answer. We’re allowed to enjoy things.
