The Airsoft Obsessed blog just flooded us with links to their SHOT Show 2013 reports, which means they're finally done with all the photos and text they had during the Show after almost two months. We decided to break these reports into four parts so you can take your time in reading them all. And if you're after some photos, you won't be disappointed. First part covers tactical gear from Eagle Industris, Crye Precision and Condor Outdoor.

Add to that a full kit of molle pouches and your looking at about a  $1000 worth of vest...

Crye Precision Booth Shot Show 2013

One of the first things I looked for when I got my media credential kit for Shot Show 2013 was where the Crye Precision Booth was located. I have been a huge fan of Crye Precision going way back to their gen 1 stuff. I still have my gen 1 Crye Battle Shirt and BDU's that I ordered straight from Crye. It also happens to be where I got my Dirka-Dirkanistan patch which was pretty rare...
