When do most firearms manufacturers come out with their new catalog?

I am always too leery of buying a Taurus but I like looking at their catalog.

For companies that create a catalog, do they usually wait until SHOT to publish it?
 
Good question. I think most use online catalogues instead of hard copies, supplemented by glossy brochures hand outs of a particular model.
 
Right, and here is Remington's 2014 Catalog:

But there isn't anything for 2015, and its already 2015 !

Same thing with Taurus, they still have their 2014 catalog in PDF but they don't have their 2015 catalog published anywhere yet.

Here is Colt's 2014 catalog (warning it opens a PDF)

Colt 2014 Catalog

The catalogs are usually more than just a website showing what is available for a given year, they are chock full o glossy photos which a fun to look at.
 
Catalog? Taking it old school huh?

Honestly alot of gun companies and accessory type stores seem to have gone to online only. I cannot remember who it was, but I was placing an order with them and they asked if I wanted a catalog, I was about to click yes when it said it would add $3 to my order.

Save a tree and look online. Between the manufacturer's website and some of the huge sellers like buds and bass pro, even youtube, etc you are likely to learn more about it then the manufacturer would have put in the catalog. Also you would likely get to see reviews and maybe even videos of it. Some probably will only hurt your head but others will be useful.

Plus the online catalog can be updated instantly.
 
I just saw CZ's 2015 catalog yesterday - in print.

Yes a lot of manufacturers are online only but even those are not out yet for 2015.

I can see though that publishing your 2015 catalog can be a spoiler going into SHOT show.
 
Most manufacturers have theirs ready for the Shot Show in January and then move right on to the NRA Show in April and there is another I can't remember the name of between them.

The one in between is Europes equivalent of SHOT. I don't recall the name but Tom Gresham on Guntalk has gonnethere and talked about it. I think he even broadcasted from the floor of it. Was interesting.
