SHOT Show Keeps the Firearm Industry in Cox Mfg's Crosshairs

SHOT Show Keeps the Firearm Industry in Cox Mfg's Crosshairs

Cox Manufacturing was an attendee at the NSSF (National Shooting Sports Foundation) Las Vegas SHOT Show. See photos and read more here to learn more about the SHOT show.


Cox Manufacturing recently exhibited at the annual Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (“SHOT”) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show celebrated its 40th anniversary with 65,000 attendees over the course of four days, including the dedicated two-day “Supplier Showcase”. Cox was one of the 1,660 exhibiting companies, eager to reach out as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) supplier in the flourishing and robust market of firearm and ammunition manufacturing.

Cox became the manufacturer of choice for the reinvention of the rimfire firing-pin indent copper crusher, a critically important component for ammunition and weapons testing. Used by numerous major firearm OEM’s, this uniquely configured 22-caliber rimfire design assures consistent performance and safety of their products. When the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. (also known as “SAAMI”) needed to restart production on this crucial component, finding the reliable and capable supplier was paramount. SAAMI turned to Cox, known to and popular with many SAAMI-member companies, for the successful production of their “infamous RFPI [rimfire firing-pin indent] copper crusher”.
