The R7 Mako Carbon Compact is the latest edition to Kimber’s R7 series, a feature-rich striker-fired handgun built 100% in the USA with a completely redesigned carbon fiber-infused matrix frame. Packed with ergonomic attention to detail, ambidextrous controls, durability, and compatibility with optics and suppressors, let’s take a closer look at all the new Kimber R7 Mako Carbon Compact has to offer.

Strike Industries has a new muzzle device for 9mm handguns with 1/2x28 threaded barrels. The new Strike Pistol Linear Compensator is advertised to redirect the concussive force and muzzle flash forward and keep the lens of the weapon-mounted lights clean. The Strike Pstol Linear Compensator is not a suppressor although it may look like one and Strike Industries say it can be a great prop alternative to suppressors.

This is an in-depth interview with Kyle Litzie, the brand new World Champion in IPSC Rifle. We touch on a wide range of topics, from how he trains to how he tunes his IWI for the ultimate performance, what parts you need and how you can copy his concept.

For the first time, we have Ríkislögreglan or the National Icelandic Police in our Photo Of The Day. They’re using the SIG Sauer MCX in these images, with Aimpoint red dots and magnifiers. Icelandic police officers typically carry only extendable batons and pepper spray while on duty. Most patrol vehicles are however equipped with firearms, and the officers are trained on how to use them.

Welcome everyone to the 246th edition of 'Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?', one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question - is this Gat a sweet deal or only have Fudd appeal? Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Back in 2021, we reported about a long-range anti-materiel/sniper rifle and cartridge (12.7x114HL) developed by a Ukrainian company called Horizon’s Lord. The 12.7x114HL cartridge was created by necking down the 14.5x114mm case to .50 caliber. In this article, we’ll take a look at a new rifle and cartridge system designed by this company which is kind of the opposite of the 12.7x114HL concept. The new MCR .57 HL rifle is a shorter-range integrally suppressed bolt-action rifle and the cartridge it is chambered in, the .57 HL, is a 14.5mm caliber cartridge based on the .50 BMG case.

Recently TFB reviewed the Pulsar Axion XQ30 Pro and found it to be a thermal pocket rocket. This product line now gets an even higher thermal performance, with the two new additions called Axion XG35 and Axion XG30 Compact. These additions both have 640x480 @ 12µm European thermal imaging sensors that are said to guarantee a quality image, even in the most dreadful weather conditions.

Colt has brought back the Viper, this time in .357 Magnum, based on what is perhaps the rarest Colt D-frame double-action revolver ever made. This wheelgun was only produced for one year, which may be why you’re scratching your head wondering where it came from in the first place. Let’s take a short trip down memory lane and look at the origins of the Colt Viper.

Welcome to another Photo Of The Day! Here’s Johan Hansen from the Swedish National Team, shooting one of the stages at the Rifle World Shoot in Finland. After some rough days on some of the long-range stages, he fought back and ended up on the podium after Todd Jarret and Jerry Miculek in Super Senior.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and all of the different types of guns, ammo, history, and shooting sports that this niche corner of the industry entails. A couple of years back I had the extremely rare opportunity to shoot one of my “grail guns” the American-180 .22LR submachine gun. This is a firearm I’ve been fascinated with for a long time, and it’s also one that’s always generated a lot of discussion in the firearm world for its extremely narrow focus on marketing directly to police agencies. Wouldn’t this relatively inexpensive, lightweight, small-caliber, machine gun, make the perfect weapon for the American soldier? Today we’re going to go through a bit of that discussion and take a look at both sides of the argument to see why perhaps the American-180 and other rimfire submachine guns like it just might not ever make practical sense on the battlefield.

Ruger has been celebrating its birthday with the release of nine 75th Anniversary firearms since the beginning of this year, each representative of the company’s storied past and inspired by iconic Ruger products from each of its three major manufacturing facilities. Two of these commemorative firearms include the already popular and timeless 10/22 Sporters finished in satin stainless with attractive hardwood stock options. In their latest announcement, the company’s Newport, New Hampshire manufacturing facility has released two new 75th Anniversary 10/22 Sporters in black satin, which will ship through the remainder of 2024.

The Galco Triton 3.0 IWB Holster is a slim and stealthy way to carry your concealed firearm, but until recently, its high level of compatibility with a healthy lineup of EDC guns on the market had one gaping… Well, it was missing a popular concealed carry option, the Sig P365. With the P365 being one of the most carried sub-compacts on the market, this was merely a matter of time. Let’s look at some features that make the Galco Triton 3.0 IWB a solid option to conceal your everyday carry.

You know I’m going to ask you about your favorite barrel length when all is said and done, so start thinking about it now.

In this video, I, James Reeves, give you my honest and unfiltered review of the Olympus Arms Vulcan AR with its innovative reciprocating barrel system. After two years of covering this gun at the SHOT Show, where it generated tons of excitement, it was finally time to put the Vulcan to the test. Spoiler alert: I was let down—big time. While the design is groundbreaking and promises reduced recoil, things went south quickly during my testing. At $6,800, this is a huge disappointment, and I’m here to give you the full story. This is simultaneously one of the most innovative and underwhelming rifles I’ve ever reviewed. Watch and decide for yourself if the Vulcan is worth the price.
