KDG Heads to Reno for Worldwide Fall Show Following Strong NBS Product Debut

KDG is heading west to Reno, Nevada, next week for the Worldwide Fall Show, where the company will showcase its latest product innovations and officially connect with Worldwide dealers as one of the newest vendors in the Worldwide Buying Group.

KDG arrives in Reno fresh off a successful showing at the NBS Fall Market in Oklahoma City, where the company debuted four new products and gave dealers their first opportunity to get hands-on with the newest additions to the KDG lineup.

Leading the response at NBS was the new KDG BOM Series Optic Mount, which quickly became one of the most talked-about products at the booth. Designed as a versatile, purpose-built mounting solution, the BOM Series launches with an ACRO-footprint configuration and a dual-height design straight out of the box.

Most notably, the BOM Series is currently the only rifle optic mount option for the Aimpoint COA, giving dealers and consumers a mounting solution for one of the newest optics in the Aimpoint lineup.

"The response to the BOM Series at NBS was incredible," said Chris Bardugone, Director of Sales & Marketing at KDG. "We knew there was a need in the market, particularly with the Aimpoint COA, but hearing directly from dealers and seeing the reaction to the mount confirmed that we have something special. There are dealers sitting on COAs looking for a rifle mounting solution, and we want them to know KDG has the answer."

Dealers with Aimpoint COA inventory are encouraged to contact their Evans Group sales representative or KDG directly for information on the BOM Series, availability and dealer ordering.

Another major highlight heading to Reno is KDG's new rail extension for the Springfield Armory Kuna. The new product brings KDG's established approach to firearm rail extensions to one of the newest platforms on the market.

KDG has built a strong reputation for developing rail systems and extensions that add usable mounting space while complementing the design and functionality of the firearm. The new Kuna rail continues that tradition, providing Springfield Kuna owners with a KDG-engineered option designed around the platform.

"The Kuna is an exciting platform, and it was a natural fit for what KDG does," Bardugone added. "Rail extensions have been an important part of our history, and this gives us the opportunity to take that experience and apply it to another firearm that is generating a lot of interest. We're excited for Worldwide dealers to see it in person."

The four-product debut at NBS represents the latest phase of an aggressive product expansion for KDG. Throughout 2026, the company has continued to invest in new products while expanding the categories and firearm platforms supported by the KDG brand.

Worldwide dealers attending the Reno show will have the opportunity to see the new products firsthand, speak directly with the KDG team and learn more about upcoming additions to the product lineup.

The show also marks an important milestone for KDG as the company begins its relationship with the Worldwide Buying Group.

"We are extremely excited to be joining the Worldwide family," Bardugone said. "For us, this show is about much more than displaying products. It's an opportunity to meet Worldwide dealers, build relationships and show them what KDG can bring to their stores and their customers. We're looking forward to getting to Reno, meeting everyone and starting what we believe will be a very strong relationship with the group."

KDG encourages Worldwide dealers attending the show to stop by Booth 759 to meet the team, get hands-on with the new products and learn more about KDG's dealer programs and show opportunities.

Dealers who would like additional information before or after the show can contact KDG directly or their local Evans Group representative.
