Quick answer: Fusion Firearms brought its full pistol lineup to the 2026 NRA Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas, and the booth stayed packed from open to close. The strongest interest was in the XP Pro, the XF Pro, and the new XP COMP, along with a preview of compact 3-inch models on the way. Fusion also gave away two custom pistols at the show, including an engraved XP Pro built for the 250th anniversary of the United States.
What did Fusion show at NRAAM 2026?
Fusion's booth centered on the pistol platform: the XP Pro, the XF Pro, and the newest release, the XP COMP. The XP COMP drew the most attention of the show. Visitors also got a first look at compact 3-inch models that are coming soon. Across the lineup, the message was the same one Fusion builds around: these are platforms, not just boxed guns, so an owner can change grips, barrels, triggers, and controls to make the pistol theirs.
Highlights from the Fusion booth
- XP COMP was the hot product. The compensated pistol pulled steady crowds all weekend. The new compensator also fits the existing XP Pro.
- XP Pro and XF Pro stayed busy. Both are all-metal, no plastic. The XF Pro got strong feedback as an affordable all-metal option.
- Compact 3-inch models are coming. A smaller 3-inch version of the platform was previewed, with first units shipping in limited quantities soon.
- Two giveaway guns. A 250th-anniversary engraved XP Pro with the NRA and WeTheFree, and a custom XP Pro with the new compensator for the Drills with Dragons competition.
- New distributors came on board. Major distributors stopped by the booth and picked up the Fusion line during the show.
What was the best-selling story of the show, the XP COMP?
The XP COMP was the gun everyone wanted to see. It is the compensated evolution of the XP Pro, built to stay flat and fast on the timer. As Bob put it on camera, interest in the comps was "extreme." The new compensator is designed to fit the existing XP Pro as well, so current owners are part of the story, not left out of it.
Are new Fusion pistols coming after NRAAM 2026?
Yes. The biggest "coming soon" news from the show was a set of compact 3-inch models. Fusion previewed them at the booth and plans to ship the first units in limited quantities in the coming weeks, with a small group of testers and Fusion team members getting them first to gather feedback before a full release. The XF Pro also stood out at the show as an all-metal, no-plastic pistol at an accessible price.
What giveaways did Fusion do at the NRA show?
Fusion ran two giveaways at NRAAM 2026.
The first was a collaboration with the NRA and WeTheFree: a special XP Pro engraved for the 250th anniversary of the United States, with engraving that marks milestones in the country's history.
The second was tied to the Drills with Dragons competition on WeTheFree TV. Fusion's custom shop built a one-off XP Pro fitted with the new compensator, a custom Cerakote finish, and detailed laser work. The winner was a young shooter whose family trained and competed together. What made the competition stand out is that anyone could take part from their own range or property and post their times, so location was not a barrier to entering.
What was the vibe at NRAAM 2026?
Busy, and steady to the very end. In Bob's words, it was "probably the best Friday that we've ever encountered at the NRA Show," and the booth stayed packed through Sunday, which is usually the quiet day. People kept coming up to talk about the XP COMP, the compact 3-inch models, and other projects in the works. Beyond the booth, the show floor held its usual mix of firearms history and tradition alongside a noticeably younger crowd getting involved in the shooting sports.
How does NRAAM 2026 compare to last year?
If you followed our Inside the NRA 2025 Show recap, the throughline is the same: Fusion shows up, talks with real customers and partners, and uses the feedback to build better pistols. The difference in 2026 was momentum. The booth was busier, the XP COMP gave the lineup a clear headline product, and new distributors signed on during the show rather than waiting until later in the year.
