Iver Johnson had some very unique pieces on display at SHOT Show 2017.
HP18: Semi-Auto Pistol Grip Shotgun
The HP18 features a detachable buttstock. With the push of a button, you can remove the buttstock and have just a pistol grip scatter gun.
To start the party, and what caught our attention in the first place, was the new HP18, a 12-gauge, pistol-grip semiautomatic shotgun. You don’t often see pistol-grip, semiauto-scatter guns because the recoil spring is typically located in the buttstock.
Iver Johnson has solved this problem, and they’ve done so without breaking the bank.
The best part is, with just the push of a button, the pistol grip version converts back to a fully stocked version. This is pretty cool. It goes from a pantry, home-invader stopper to a field gun in seconds.

While Clay likes the 1911s, it’s evident that the Pocket Ace was his favorite

Pocket Ace 4 Derringer .22LR
Probably my favorite new offering this year is the Pocket Ace, a 4-barrel derringer chambered in .22LR.
The Pocket Ace. Made in the USA.
This is a neat innovation, as it features a 4-barrel pepperbox-style setup. The firing pin rotates, giving you 4 shots. This thing is tiny, something you have to hold in your hand to believe. This is a great little backup gun.
