WATCHTOWER Defense is proud to announce it will be showcasing its products at IWA OutdoorClassics 2026, marking the company's debut at one of the world's premier international trade shows for hunting, shooting sports, and self-defense equipment.

Attendees can expect an impressive and expanded lineup of double-stack 1911 pistols, headlined by the new lightweight, aluminum-frame Tactical Commander and the flagship APACHE MKII – an all-stainless double-stack 1911 renowned for exceptional recoil control, durability, and performance. The display will also feature APACHE Commanders and the RAIDER15 rifle platform, reinforcing WATCHTOWER Defense's commitment to innovation, quality craftsmanship, and reliability.

WATCHTOWER Defense will be in Hall 5, booth #272.

In addition to new product debuts, exclusive IWA Show-only specials will be available throughout the event, providing unique opportunities for dealers and distributors to connect directly with a WATCHTOWER representative, discuss upcoming product launches, and take advantage of limited-time offers.

"IWA is a key global event for the firearms and outdoor industry, and we're excited to bring WATCHTOWER Defense to this international stage," said Garrett Lusk, director of sales. "This show allows us to engage directly with industry leaders, retailers, and distributors from around the world while showcasing the performance and innovation that define our brand."

IWA OutdoorClassics is where specialist retailers, manufacturers, suppliers, decision-makers, and key industry influencers from across the globe come together. Over four days, exhibitors present the latest products for hunting and shooting sports, along with a wide range of outdoor and self-defense equipment. Since its first show in 1974 with fewer than 100 exhibitors, IWA has grown into a global success story, welcoming nearly one million visitors over its 50-year history.
