Beyond the firearms and ammunition, SHOT Show 2026 delivered a strong crop of range essentials. For starters, Garmin showed up with new products including a chronograph, a rangefinder and a luxury smartwatch collaboration, while other companies turned heads with everything from a magnetic eyewear system to a pop-up brass catcher tent. Here are 10 of our top picks from the show floor in Las Vegas.
Garmin Xero C2 Chronograph
Garmin made waves after introducing the Xero C1 in 2023, quickly becoming a top choice for data-hungry shooters who want a compact, feature-rich chronograph. Sporting a 100 fps to 5,000 fps measurement range, the second-generation Xero C2 chrono improves on the original with faster processing capabilities and new features like rapid-fire tracking support (up to 10 shots per second), Applied Ballistics connectivity and Garmin smartwatch integration. Pair the Xero C2 with the ShotView app and compare velocity for every shot fired, view live session data and track deviation, plus manage projectile and load data for firearms and bows. MSRP: $699.99, garmin.com
Mantis TitanX Smart Laser Training Pistol
A solid option for dry-fire training, the TitanX is an inert laser training pistol with built-in MantisX sensor technology, giving shooters real-time feedback on technique without firing a single round. Its auto-resetting trigger eliminates the need to rack the slide between shots, and an adjustable red laser marks point of impact with each pull. The training pistol pairs with the proven MantisX app for shot-by-shot analytics, coaching and drill tracking.
Modeled after Glock G17, G19 and G45 handgun models, it fits corresponding holsters and ships with two weighted magazines for reload practice. The optic-ready slide accepts RMR and Shield RMS/RMSc footprint sights. Currently sold out due to demand, new orders should be shipping soon. MSRP: $199, mantisx.com
Caldwell Claymore Connect Target Launcher
Caldwell’s Claymore Connect is a Bluetooth-enabled clay-target launcher that pairs with the free Caldwell Clays app for iOS and Android, replacing tangled cords and heavy car batteries with a pocket-sized 12-volt lithium-ion battery good for 350-plus throws per charge. The app can control up to 10 launchers simultaneously from 100 yards out, with features like voice-activated launch, preset pairs and customizable flurries. The unit holds 50 clays, adjusts up to 35 degrees of angle and throws targets out to 55 yards. Folding legs and a 35-pound total weight keep it portable. MSRP: $549.99, caldwellshooting.com
Magna Lens ML Pro Shooting Glasses
Anyone who wears glasses and earmuffs together knows the problem: temple stems create pressure points and break the earmuff seal, reducing hearing protection by as much as 25 decibels. ML Pro shooting glasses from Magna Lens sidesteps this with a magnetic attachment system. Adjustable temple pieces end in magnetized balls that connect directly to adapters on your earmuffs, keeping the cups sealed against your head. The frameless shield design accepts seven interchangeable lens colors and meets ANSI Z87.1 high-impact standards. A snap-in prescription insert is available separately. Magna Lens also sells its own electronic earmuffs with the magnetic system built in. Starting at $150, magnalens.com
Tactical Formulary MagTray
Sometimes the simplest products get the most attention. The MagTray from Tactical Formulary was one of the most-scanned items at the SHOT Show 2026 New Product Center, and it’s easy to see why. This 5x5-inch magnetic parts tray holds screws, pins, springs and small components in place during firearm builds, cleanings and repairs. Nothing revolutionary—just a practical solution for keeping your firearm workspace organized. Available in gray and green. MSRP: $24.99, tacticalformulary.com
The Shooter’s Tent
Also among the most-scanned items at the SHOT Show 2026 New Product Center, the Shooter’s Tent is a patented pop-up brass catcher tent designed by Texas ranchers tired of picking up spent casings after every range session. Shoot from inside the mesh-walled tent and brass lands on a removable, waterproof zip-out floor: raise the corners, gather the casings and you’re done. It also blocks sun, light rain and hot brass from neighboring shooters. Multiple units interlock to create side-by-side shooting lanes for group sessions. It pops up in seconds and easily packs into a carry bag. MSRP: $69.99, theshooterstent.com
Garmin MARQ Commander Beretta 500 Limited-Edition Smartwatch
Another Garmin entry in this roundup, this limited-edition smartwatch pairs Garmin’s flagship MARQ Commander platform with design cues honoring Beretta’s 500th anniversary. The 46 mm case is machined from 130 layers of fused carbon fiber—each watch with a unique pattern—topped by an AMOLED touchscreen with a domed sapphire lens. Beretta-specific touches include blue laser-etched accents, a custom-engraved titanium rear case and preloaded Beretta-inspired watch faces. On the functional side, it packs the Applied Ballistics Ultralight calculator, jumpmaster and stealth modes, multi-band GPS with SatIQ technology and up to 16 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. Only 500 units will be made. MSRP: $3,750, beretta.com
Kinetic Blossom Magpie Handheld Electronic Magazine Loader
Loading double-stack 9 mm pistol magazines by hand gets old fast, especially during high-round-count range sessions or instructor-led classes. The Magpie from Kinetic Blossom is a wireless, handheld electric loader that fills mags at the push of a button—slide rounds into the feeder rail, insert the magazine and let the device do the work. It detects a full magazine and stops automatically, runs on a rechargeable battery good for 100-plus magazine loads and fits most 9 mm double-stack magazines. Both 15- and 20-round feeder rails are included. The Kinetic Blossom website says that the Magpie automatic magazine loader will begin shipping in November 2026. Preorder price: $299.95, kineticblossom.com
Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount VIR Pro and Wedge SL
Out of the many great products Streamlight displayed at SHOT Show 2026, these two are highlights. The ProTac Rail Mount VIR Pro is a long gun light that toggles between white light (up to 1,100 lumens) and a 940 nm infrared LED via a head-mounted switch, with a built-in cutoff that prevents accidental white light activation while in IR mode. It runs on two CR123A batteries or a single rechargeable SL-B26 pack, mounts to MIL-STD-1913 and M-LOK rails and features Streamlight’s TEN-TAP programmable switch with three user-selectable programs. The machined aluminum body is IPX7 waterproof and extensively live-fire tested.
As for the Wedge SL, this ultra-thin inspection light is a solid option to keep in your pocket or range bag. Svelte at just 0.55 inches wide and weighing 1.14 ounces, this light is a compact powerhouse that pumps out 500 lumens of brightness with an 80-meter beam distance in THRO mode (Temporarily Heightened Regulated Output). In addition, the Wedge SL conveniently recharges its internal lithium-polymer battery via USB-C. Available in black, coyote and silver. MSRP: $400 and up for the ProTac VIR Pro, $110 for the Wedge SL, streamlight.com
Garmin Xero L60i Laser Rangefinder
The third and final Garmin product in this roundup may be the most ambitious. The Xero L60i is the first laser rangefinder with onboard GPS mapping and a full-color, high-resolution display overlaid directly into the optic. Look through the 7X glass and you see not just distance but topographic maps, waypoints, navigation cues and ballistic data—all rendered in augmented reality. Range animals out to 2,775 meters and trees to 3,600 meters, or use the Sensor Locate feature to project waypoints beyond laser range using the built-in GPS, compass and inclinometer. You can also sync waypoints to the Garmin Explore app and compatible Garmin wearables and handhelds.
The Laser Locate function drops a waypoint on anything you range, and Visual Recall guides you back to it if you shift positions. Applied Ballistics Ultralight is onboard for long-range rifle solutions, while a dedicated archery solver handles arrow trajectory and clearance. In addition, the Xero L60i’s fully multicoated, low-dispersion 32 mm objective lens delivers a flat, edge-to-edge image with strong low-light performance. Plus, it’s IPX7 waterproof and runs on two AAA lithium batteries. MSRP: $2,499.99, garmin.com
