New Guns for 2013
(9 Photos)
The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW) holds a trade show each year in November. A variety of gun manufacturers provide a sneak peek into what guns might make their way onto the market in 2013. While having a gun on display at this show is not always a sure bet it will become available, it's always interesting to see what gunmakers have in mind.

Colt CQB 1911 .45 ACP Pistol
Colt’s Manufacturing LLC has a contract to provide the U.S. Marine Corps with an ultra-reliable, accurate 1911 pistol. Every shipment of the Close-Quarters Battle (CQB) 1911 sent to the military has to pass the same rigorous testing process used to qualify the pistol to win the contract. The exact same pistol our service personnel receive will be made available in 2013 (in limited numbers) to the civilian market through Colt's custom shop. It won't be as easy to get as some 1911s, but it will certainly be worth the wait.
