Mesa Tactical Celebrates 20th Year Anniversary at SHOT Show 2024

Reno, NV — Mesa Tactical is 20 years old and in 2024 will also be celebrating its 20th SHOT show anniversary, marking two decades of equipping law enforcement, military and professional operators with trusted, American-made tactical shotgun accessories and professional grade accessories for carbines and rifles.

Mesa Tactical, one of the industry's most respected names, will be exhibiting at the upcoming SHOT Show 2024 in Las Vegas at the Venetian Expo Level 2, Booth #20565. SHOT Show will take place at the Sands Convention Center starting January 23rd through January 26th, 2024. Mesa Tactical representatives will be on hand to showcase the new Truckee® forend for Remington 870, Mossberg 930 and 940 shotguns. The company will also be unveiling the popular reflex sight mount system for Beretta 1301 tactical shotguns as well as a diverse range of new products designed specifically for military, law enforcement agencies, and shooting enthusiasts. Mesa Tactical extends a warm invitation to all attendees to visit the leading designer and manufacturer of innovative line of aftermarket shotgun accessories and explore more about their line of performance upgrades.

“Mesa Tactical and the firearms business have changed enormously since we first set up in our tiny booth in a small corner of the Las Vegas Convention Center, the only part of the show where any company with the word ‘tactical’ in its name was allowed to exhibit in 2004. Since then, the black rifle and shotgun crowd have dominated the show and much of the industry itself, and Mesa Tactical is proud to have played a role in that success,” said Mitch Barrie, President at Mesa Tactical. “We also feel privileged to have emerged as prominent position as a supplier of high quality and dependable tactical shotgun accessories for American’s law enforcement professionals.”

The Mesa Tactical story began in 2004 in our extremely humble 700 square foot office overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Costa Mesa, CA, to our position as one of the leading suppliers of tactical accessories for America’s law enforcement professionals. Many professional operators have been with us for the ride, but this is a fine moment to run through some of the highlights.

2004: Mesa Tactical is established in Costa Mesa, CA and first exhibits at SHOT Show in Las Vegas, finally shipping the aluminum High-tube® stock adapters for pump shotguns later in the year.

2015: Branching out from shotgun for the first time, Mesa Tactical introduces the Faro® stock adapter for the FN SCAR carbine.

2016: Mesa Tactical moves to Reno, NV. We also began shipping the lower cost polymer version of our SureShell carrier.
