Shot Show 2008

Shot Show 2008 was a lot of fun and a lot of work.  Very excited about the new products our manufactures have come out with for this year.

To start, the talk of the show was Amsec coming out with a new Two-Tone paint job on their BF and RF series Gun Safes that looks very good.  The safe has a matte black body and a gloss black door.  They also introduced a new light kit that goes behind the center divider in the gun rack.  The big news out of Amsec though, is that they are no longer going to carry the BF-6040 size, instead came out with a new size BF-6636 (65.25”h x 36”w x 26”d 1249lbs.)

Cannon has news of its own; they have come out with a new light kit that goes in the door.  It is going to be standard on the cannon series and traditional series gun safes.  A projected date for the light kit to be available is around May of 2008.  They also came out with two new gloss colors, charcoal grey and champagne.

Fort Knox didn’t come out with any new sizes, but surprised everyone with their new colors.  Back by popular demand is Mercedes silver very good look with silver detail.  The new premium colors are; Desert Rose, Champagne, Fusion Orange, Sage Green, Viper Yellow, and Flame Red.  They also introduced new graphics, the new Elite trim and Performance trim.

Gun Vault has come out with a new bio GV-1000b to go with the bio GV-2000b.  The new size is going to be available May 2008.  They also have a new size for their Gun Safes, GV-5926 (59”h x 26”w x 23”d).  This new size comes in a bio version or key pad.

All in all it was a very good show, lots of new products and new innovation that has all of us at Dean Security Safe Co. very excited for 2008.
