This year, we decided to put our collective heads together and create what we call our OWDN Editors' Choices for 2011 SHOT Show. As we look back on what a consensus of industry leaders feel was a great show that sets the tone for a good business year, we're also looking forward to seeing some of these products hitting retailer shelves soon.

Hadassah is a conceal carry purse that combines functionality with style. Made in a variety of fabrics and colors, your firearm will be well concealed in its own separate pocket and holster, yet swiftly retrieved by you if needed. Hadassah includes a secure zip pocket for important items such as a check book and wallet while the outside pocket allows easy access to other essentials with a magnetic closure and buckle. For even more ease, two drop pockets are located between the main zipper compartment and outside pocket for quick access to your phone and keys. All of this is secured with a durable, comfortable, adjustable, heavy duty, hands free strap. This bag is ideal for travel and everyday use.http://esthergear.com/

There were plenty of great products across the entire 627,000 square feet of exposition space this year, so we're going to be telling you about many of them in the weeks and months ahead as we have the opportunity to get them into the field for testing and evaluation.

Again, congratulations to all our selections.
