Everyone knows AK-47. It is everywhere: movies, books, crime statistics. Interestingly enough, those who spend some time in the warzone often have stronger feelings towards another Kalashnikov creation - the PK/PKM belt-fed machine gun.
Wheelgun Wednesday: Top 3 Griz Guns That Could SAVE Your Life
I recently returned from black bear hunting in the northern woods of Minnesota (sadly, unsuccessfully). A recurring question I get from non-bear hunters who are scared of those fur-balls is, “what do I carry as a sidearm for protection?” It is an Echelon with 9mm +P+ ammo in it (insert your favorite XYZ full-size 9mm handgun of choice). Black bears simply don’t have the same fiery temperament as their brown bear brethren. I am more scared of a pack of timberwolves picking me off in the dark or a moose curb-stomping my butt into the forest floor. If you live in griz country, you have entirely different concerns than I. You need authentic, red-blooded American, STOPPING POW-AH! So, if you are hunting, hiking, camping, or bird-watching where grizzly bears are present, here are 3 wheelguns that could save your life.

TFB has been running our very special Photo Of The Day for years, sharing great photos from around the world and the world of firearms.

Canada's Gun Grab Price Tag Continues To Grow
Remember back in March, when we told you about the rapidly rising costs of the Canadian federal government’s planned gun grab? As it turns out, the feds were just getting started on running up the bill. Now, less than six months later, they’ve added more than 50 percent more to their tab—and they still haven’t seized a single gun.
New Angstadt Arms Vanquish 22 Zero Baffle Integral 10/22 Barrel
We’ve come a long way since Dad’s old 10/22, with chassis, binary triggers, and all manner of accessories and attachments available for the iconic platform. I am not nearly the tinkerer today that I once was, and need a good reason to swap out OEM parts, but Angstadt Arms might do just that with the company’s new Vanquish 22 Integrally Suppressed Barrel. Promising incredible sound suppression, simplified maintenance, and seamless integration with the Ruger 10/22, well, I’m all ears… See what I did there? I’m a dad now and therefore cleared to make dad jokes.
Cabot Announces and Sells Out - The Voltage
“Limited Edition” can be a term loosely thrown around in the firearms world these days, but one company takes the concept pretty seriously, Cabot Guns. The company’s recent High Voltage 1911 is a series of only two guns. That’s it. Serial Numbers VOLTAGE45-1 and VOLTAGE45-2, and as of writing this, they are both sold. Let’s face it, most of us will never own a Cabot, and it’s not like we had the money burning a hole in our pockets on this one and now feel the way we do when we get outbid on Gunbroker. But we can still look and appreciate.

TFB Review: EAA Girsan MC14BDA .380
EAA has a reputation for making affordable versions of pistols made by other manufacturers. When Beretta discontinued the classic Beretta 80-series pistols, Girsan stepped up to make clones. The recent MC14BDA is a “clone” of a close 80-series cousin, the Browning BDA. I spent the last several months with one, and it is time to share my findings.
