New Gun & Shooting Expo to be held on March 3–6, 2026

A new trade show on the Polish event map – from March 3 to 6, 2026, the Gun & Shooting Expo will take place at Ptak Warsaw Expo, under the patronage of Magazyn Militarny MILMAG. Enthusiasts of shooting sports, military equipment, hunting, and outdoor activities will be able to explore the offerings of nearly 100 expected exhibitors.

Gun & Shooting Expo at Ptak Warsaw Expo

The dynamic growth of shooting sports in Poland creates a need for events dedicated to this field. Responding to this need is Ptak Warsaw Expo, the largest trade and congress center in Poland and Central Europe, located in Nadarzyn near Warsaw.

Photos and Images: Ptak Warsaw Expo

Gun & Shooting Expo is a trade show dedicated to firearms, shooting sports, and safety. The event aims to bring together manufacturers, distributors, experts, and enthusiasts – everyone for whom firearms are a sport, a collecting passion, a work tool, or an element of protection.

This unique event connects manufacturers, distributors, experts, and enthusiasts – those for whom firearms represent a sport, a collector’s passion, a professional tool, or a component of personal protection. Ptak Warsaw Expo seeks to create a platform for sharing knowledge and experience within the framework of legal and responsible firearm ownership.

What can visitors expect at the Gun & Shooting Expo?

Trade show topics

The Gun & Shooting Expo will cover the following thematic areas:

  • sporting, hunting, collectible, historical, personal-protection, black-powder, replica, and air guns
  • personal-defense tools
  • ammunition and its components
  • optics
  • shooting accessories
  • apparel
  • safes and security systems
  • shooting-range infrastructure
  • training systems and VR simulators
  • law and compliance

Which exhibitors will showcase their offerings at the Gun & Shooting Expo?

  • Manufacturers of civilian short and long firearms
  • Distributors and importers of firearms, ammunition, and accessories
  • Licensed brick-and-mortar and e-commerce stores selling firearms and ammunition
  • Manufacturers of ammunition and legally compliant reloading components
  • Producers of optics and shooting electronics
  • Makers of safes, cabinets, locks, seals, and security systems meeting S1 and higher standards
  • Suppliers of shooting-range infrastructure, including designers, contractors, and service providers
  • Manufacturers of shooting accessories such as holsters, belts, pouches, mounts, stocks, and chassis
  • Commercial shooting ranges and shooting clubs offering training and courses
  • Law firms, insurers, consulting companies, and software providers for inventory and reservation systems
  • Suppliers of training technologies, including VR and laser simulators and shot-analysis systems
  • Industry media, publishers, collector organizations, associations, and unions

Who are the trade shows organized for?

The Gun & Shooting Expo is an opportunity to bring together the entire shooting industry and to help shops and distributors connect more closely with the end customer. Exhibitors will be able to present their full range of products and assess the demand for specific solutions. Visitors, in turn, will have an excellent opportunity to examine their dream firearm, accessory, clothing, or many other products in person – as well as directly compare competing offerings.

Those who are just beginning their shooting journey will be able to seek advice from numerous specialists and thoroughly learn the path to obtaining a firearms license. Handling firearms from many manufacturers will only fuel their desire to own a gun and develop their hobby in a focused way.

Members of uniformed services will familiarize themselves with the latest innovations and trends, gaining insight into the newest tools developed for their profession.

Gun & Shooting Expo is a trade show for everyone who wants to explore the broad field of shooting sports, military equipment, and outdoor activities.

One date, three events

Running parallel to the Gun & Shooting Expo, two additional events will take place as part of the European Safety & Defence Week:

  • DroneTech Expo Poland, dedicated to unmanned systems technology and applications
  • Safety & Rescue Expo Poland, focused on technologies for rescue services, civil defense, and crisis prevention

Take part in industry events within the International Security & Firearms Forum

During the premiere edition of GUN & SHOOTING EXPO 2026, the event will host distinguished figures from the worlds of security and strategy. Dr. Jacek Bartosiak, a geopolitics expert and founder of Strategy & Future, will present his vision of Poland’s role in the new global balance of power. Thomas “Drago” Dzieran, the first Pole to serve in the elite U.S. Navy SEALs, will speak about his combat mission experiences and the ethos of service. Paweł “Naval” Mateńczuk, a legend of the GROM Military Unit, will deliver an inspiring lecture on personal security and preparedness for extraordinary situations. The expo will be complemented by a program of meetings, demonstrations, and discussions dedicated to the culture of responsible firearm ownership and modern security technologies.
