USA -(Ammoland.com)- 2016 was quite the year, punctuated with what might be the most memorable Presidential race and result in history. In the shooting industry, all sorts of neat stuff went down, ranging from new products and trends to epic gatherings. Let’s take a walk down memory lane and review just a few of the hundreds of news-making products and events.

Pistols

Optics on pistols aren’t a new thing, but 2016 marked a big mainstream shift in that category.

Glock released its MOS (Modular Optic System) Model 17 and 19. The MOS guns feature factory-cut slides designed to accept one of four included optic mounting plates. The idea is that you fasten the right plate to the slide and that provides a compatible mount for a wide variety of pistol optics, such as Trijicon’s RMR, Leupold’s Deltapoint, C-More, Burris’ FastFire and others. Yes, in 2015 Glock launched the G40 MOS chambered in 10mm, but that was presented as a hunting pistol. The addition of MOS models in the popular 17 and 19 models brought optics into the defensive and carry market segments in a big way.
