Flathead firearms industry saw mixed results in 2019

Flathead Valley firearms manufacturers were out in force at the annual Shot Show in Las Vegas from Jan. 21 to 24. The firearms industry’s signature event introduces the latest technology in guns and accessories, and this year’s gathering presented an opportunity for some local manufacturers to capitalize on new developments to rebound from a slow year in 2019. For others, the Shot Show served as a way to continue strong sales into the uncertainty of the election year.
