New Airgun Products from SHOT Show 2019

If you’ve never been to SHOT Show before, it’s a whirlwind of new and exciting products, great people, and sore feet! Rossi Morreale spent some time there and caught up with several brands that have some awesome fresh products for this year. If you didn’t get a chance to view them live, here’s a SHOT Show 2019 product roundup so you can catch up on all the action.
Hatsan Airguns 
At the Hatsan Airguns booth, Rossi got to check out the new airgun models. Most of the Hatsan line of airguns come in .177, .22, and .25 caliber and will be available in stores within the next couple of months. Check out the video and airgun highlights below.

  • 1844 QES – this airgun from the Quiet Energy Series now has open sights, so you won’t have to have a scope if you don’t want it. 
  • Glacian – this is a semiautomatic airgun, which has a very tactical look to it. It is a great option for small game and medium range targets. 
  • Vectus – this is a brand new airgun with a smooth lever action. It has a quiet energy synthetic shroud on the muzzle and flip up open sights. It also has a combination picatinny/dovetail rail. 
  • Nova Star – this is an upgraded gun from the Nova series, which is about a pound lighter than previous models. It also has a hidden in-stock magazine holder with a Turkish walnut stock. 
  • SpeedFire – this is a break-barrel repeater (automatic loading) airgun, which has open sights or a scope. 
  • AirMax – the AirMax is a bottle-fed airgun instead of cylinder-fed with a forward cocking mechanism. It too has a Turkish walnut stock and many more shots (up to 100 shots). 
  • Flash Wood – this airgun has a unique tactical look while still having a walnut stock. It has a chrome-plated and smooth operating cocking bolt. 
  • Airtact – this is an entry-level break-barrel airgun with a lighter synthetic barrel.

Predator International Airgun Pellets 
While at the show, Rossi also had to check out some new pellet options. He caught up with Dick Dickson from Predator International. In 2019, there’s a strong focus on improving the quality control that JSB and Predator International have for their pellets. Every pellet is hand-viewed under a microscope, with a rejection rate of 2%. Check out the video below.

  • .20 caliber Heavy – the new .20 caliber pellet, which is heavier (almost 16 grains), is making a comeback for 2019. 
  • Hades – this hollow-head pellet splits apart on impact, which is very lethal for small game, available in .22 caliber right now. 
  • GTO Pellet – this tin-based pellet is slightly lighter than lead but performs similarly. This provides a great lead-free option. 
  • Monster – to better match different guns, the Monster pellet is available in re-designed and original pellets (in .177 and .22 caliber options). 

Umarex Airguns 
Rossi caught up with Richard Turner from Umarex Airguns, including some of the big game animals that have been taken with these products.

  • Ruger 10/22 – following the look and feel of the original (and widely popular) Ruger .22 model, this airgun is a great replica to allow backyard shooting. 
  • Hammer – this new for 2019 .50 caliber air rifle allows three full powered shots, which is powerful enough to take down big game animals, including Cape buffalo!
