SHOT Show 2025: Day 1 Roundup
SHARE

Check out a few of our highlights from the first day of SHOT Show 2025!

Spandau S2 

This is a sweet little package waterfowlers will appreciate—the Spandau S2. Delivering all the features and performance of a high-end inertia-driven shotgun, the S2 comes with a price tag anyone can afford. Dressed in Realtree Max-7 or APX, the 12-gauge comes at a forgiving $499. It has a few tricks up its sleeves making it all the more useful in the duck marshes. Fluting makes the bolt lighter, thus less punishing for those heavy flights with a lot of shots. An oversized charging handle eliminates fumbling around to get or keep the gun in action. And most nuanced, but maybe the best asset, an enlarged and chamfered loading gate eliminates any pinch when topping off the magazine—plus makes it very friendly to gloved hands. Overall, it is a solid and economical option for duck or goose season. 

Diamondback SDR 3” 

Oh yeah, size matters—particularly with the .357 Magnum. The legendary defensive round is fairly neutered coming out of a snubbie revolver, resulting in more muzzle blast and knuckle pain than velocity downrange. Diamondback Arms has cooked up a new addition to its concealable SDR line of revolvers, now offering a 3-inch barreled model. The wheelie remains highly concealable but gives the magnum enough bore to get the performance most look for out of the cartridge. To boot, it also has a bit more sight radius to improve its accuracy potential. What struck us at range day about the gun—and its predecessor 2-inch barreled model—is its silk and stageable trigger. It’s also a looker with a full integral lug. For $837, it’s a pretty tough little revolver to beat. 

KelTec PR57

In typical KelTec fashion, the company’s latest design has been turning heads and forming long queues at its SHOT Show debut. Not because it’s the “best gun” out here, but one could certainly make the argument that it’s the most different and interesting. The stats already looked impressive on paper, but it’s hard to convey just how light and slim the PR57 is without holding one yourself. It feels like a toy in hand, but putting some 5.7x28mm through it quickly reminds one that it’s anything but. Despite the gun’s light weight, it’s a smooth shooter too. We’re definitely keeping this little stripper clip-fed pistol on our radar and will hopefully conduct a full review in the future.

Biofire Smart Gun

Sure to be a divisive product, Biofire is a biometrically locked smart gun that uses fingerprints and/or facial recognition to allow access only to a limited number of users. We first looked at the pistol in 2023, but this year the company is ready to start shipping units to backers, media, and customers.  

Getting first shots with it at SHOT Show Range Day 2025, the pistol isn’t what you probably expect. Bulky and strange looking, it actually shot remarkably well for the 15 or so rounds we shot it for. We’ll withhold judgment until we can get one in for a full and detailed review. MSRP: $1,499
