At the NRA Annual Meeting, Beretta is showing off its latest APX handgun, but just to the side is a corner of Beretta 92s that look like a lot of fun. Beretta has a line of .22LR conversion kits for your Beretta 92. They also have accessories you can add to your [Read More…]

In 2015 Ruger turned the shooting world on its head with the introduction of the Ruger Precision Rifle. Since then they have introduced it in some really great calibers like 6.5 Creedmoor. In this episode of TFB TV, Patrick takes the Ruger Precision Rifle out to the range and really stretches its [Read More…]

This is something I saw while walking down the aisles of the NRA Annual Meeting. MegaBoom target by Do All Outdoors. The booth rep’s hat is what caught my attention. No he does not recommend using the MegaBoom in this manner. The MegaBoom is a simple target [Read More…]
God bless competent gunsmiths. Not only do they have to deal with a broad spectrum of weapons in for upgrade and repair, but a wide range of owners as well. Today, on the back end of the curve, we have a negligent KRISS Vector owner who has not once, but twice, [Read More…]
Radian Weapons has one of their rifles on display at the Brownell’s Booth. Luckily Nick Booras of Radian was there to explain and share some info about Radian Weapons. Some of you may or may not have heard of AXTS. But I am sure many of you know of the Rainier [Read More…]
Brownell’s booth has a different approach this year at the NRA Annual Meeting. The theme is “Dream Guns”. Everything on display can be bought or built using parts bought from Brownell’s. Yes even the suppressors although they only sell those to [Read More…]
Glock unveiled two new Glocks here at the NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Ga. Sadly it is not the 17M but the 17FS and 19FS. The FS models have front slide serrations, steel sights, and extended slide release. I like the front slide serrations. I just wish this was a [Read More…]

We all know that Magpul PMAGs are one of the best options for AR-15 mags, but sadly it took literally forever for the US Military to figure out just that. Not terribly long ago the United States Marine Corps selected the new Medium Coyote Tan PMAGs in the Gen 3 flavor [Read More…]
A very talented builder over at AR15.com is constructing his very own Magpul Folding Machine Gun (FMG9). Using an airsoft platform, a Glock slide, a nine inch barrel and a mill, “RDTCU” was able to build a fully functional PDW. I’ll let his details and [Read More…]
Working on a principle similar to sight radius, BipodeXt is releasing a series of products designed to place a bipod farther forward on a rifle to maximize accuracy. The device operates on a telescopic system that attaches to a rail on the rifle’s stock or [Read More…]
I will make no apologies for my love of polymer, striker-fired sub compact carry pistols. For the most part they are inexpensive, reliable, lightweight and accurate. Plastic pistols also can lack soul, character and style. Accepting to review the Kimber Micro 9 Crimson [Read More…]
At the American Suppressor Association Media Day, SilencerCo had an assortment of suppressed weapons. I was drawn to the Maxim 9 pistols. I got a chance to check them out at Shot Show last January but those had 3D printed frames. Click here to see the pics and article. [Read More…]
Alongside the 22QDA, Gemtech had their Integra out for us to test drive. No, I’m not talking about the Japanese Import from Honda/Acura. The Integra is their integrally suppressed .300blk AR. While integrally suppressed ARs is nothing new and certainly .300blk is [Read More…]

The Franklin Armory Binary Trigger has been a favorite of people looking to make a whole lot of noise and brass without spending the ludicrous amount of money for a transferable machine gun or live in an area where transferable guns are not legal. The new HK Binary [Read More…]

The spring of a magazine is pretty much the hear and soul of the mag. It is what makes it work. Without it, it is just an empty box. Atlas Gunworks showed a picture testing some .40s&w 2011 magazines. Just look at how twisted the mag spring is! To help show this [Read More…]
