A lot of internet knowledge has solidified both .30 carbine and .32 ACP as “inferior” loadings, an assertion that I have vigorously disagreed with but thus far have relied on anecdotal points such as “many Nazis were slain with the .30 Carbine”, [Read More…]

There are so many ways to carry a handgun. Many people like carrying behind the back as it is very comfortable. Some carry outside the waistband and some carry inside. As we all know there are a plethora of holsters to fit any and all requirements one needs. However [Read More…]
What is your ultimate shooting range pistol? “This pistol is really accurate,” we hear stated. “A tack driver for sure,” someone will say. Or, perhaps, we’ll hear that a pistol has poor accuracy. Despite these subjective claims, we rarely see actual numerical [Read More…]

One of the more interesting plans to provide weapons to the irregulars and resistance fighters during World War II involved airdropping around a million crudely made single shot pistols over occupied territory. Most shooters and history buffs are rather familiar with [Read More…]
Rifle plates – especially NIJ 0101.06 certified Level IV ones – can be heavy and cumbersome. It makes sense considering a Level IV plate is supposed to stop a .30-06 M2AP round with less than 44 mm of back face deformation. Making a plate that provides this [Read More…]
“It’s Over. Glock Won.” Hognose writes. What did Glock win? Total domination in the US Special Operations world, and (my speculation) possibly the Modular Handgun System contract as well, by extension. Hognose doesn’t explicitly say that the [Read More…]
Savage Arms will be making their A-Series rifle in .22 WMR. The first gun in the series was their popular A17 which is chambered in 17 HMR. Their newest model is being called the A22 Magnum and, according to the company, has the same delayed blowback, semi-automatic [Read More…]
Glock attended the Big 3 East event last week just two days prior to Hurricane Matthew’s arrival and land fall. They brought an assortment of Glocks with them. I was surprised to see the differences between the Glock 41 and Glock 40. .45acp long slide vs 10mm long [Read More…]
As my quest for a custom Thompson Center Encore pistol continues, let’s take a look at Match Grade Machine (MGM), another Utah-based company with a reputation for class and precision. Similar to other makers in the Encore realm, MGM offers a plethora of chamber [Read More…]
A custom Thompson Center Encore break action pistol is on my short list of must-have unique guns. The one thing that has kept the Encore on my wish list and not a reality (besides the cash reserves) is caliber choice. For a pistol this special, it needs the right round [Read More…]
It feels like déjà vu: India has once again issued a Request For Information (RFI) for a new rifle, this time in 7.62x51mm NATO caliber. The RFI was reportedly issued on the 27th of September, making it two and a half months between the nation’s government [Read More…]
In this episode of TFBTV, James discusses what he believes are the Top 5 Most Overrated CCW guns on the market today. While all of these guns are good choices for defensive carriers, these five stand out as being overrated for one reason or the other. James tells you the what and the why in [Read More…]
Early August we posted about the new KRX Tactical shotgun, the new box fed 12-gauge by TriStar. The KRX Tactical blends familiar features and controls with a more traditional semi-auto shotgun while remaining at a reasonable price point. Shortly after the press release [Read More…]
This post is brought to you by TFB field correspondents on the hunt for interesting firearms news and history around the world. And by correspondents, I mean my Mom and Dad traveling through Dayton, Ohio where they stopped at the U.S. Air Force National Museum at [Read More…]
Ian S. experienced quite a shock when his FNP tactical exploded. FN Tactical blew up on me today. Appears to have not been completely in battery so either really dirty or a high primer. Hands are burnt and really bruised but not bad considering. Also, +1 for eye pro. [Read More…]
Reddit user Mr_U_N_Owen posted the very first “Glock” 1911 that was offered for sale, the Alchemy Arms Spectre. It appears the .45 ACP pistol is more Glock than 1911 with what looks like a Glock 21 barrel and recoil spring, Glock slide lock, and XS Sights [Read More…]
What, no cross section of the cleaning kit? Fail. I’m kidding of course – this bisection of an AK47 is completely awesome. I especially like the split 7.62×39 round seated in the chamber. Any guesses on the variant based on this “angle”? [Read More…]
Sauer USA is teasing the release of their ‘Titanium Pro’ silencer. Dubbed “The Quiet One” it features an aluminum outer tube that unscrews in the middle for cleaning and maintenance. The baffle stack, in reality a monocore design, is made out [Read More…]
Since FN was already sending us a 3-Gun focused rifle, it seemed only natural they would send along their SLP Competition 12-Gauge shotgun. I would have liked to run the two guns together in a 3-Gun match, but weather and my schedule prohibited it. That said, we did [Read More…]
When it comes to shooting firearms we can all be a little boastful at times. Whether its in our shooting prowess, rifle’s superb craftsmanship, or our vivid imaginations. Being a gun store manager, I come across all types of individuals and skill levels. Some [Read More…]
When you are looking for turnkey 3-Gun ready rifles, there are a ton of choices on the market. FN has put together a rather impressive rifle with the FN 15 Competition to give competitors an edge without needing to change a whole ton of parts. I want to preface this [Read More…]
Most of us likely remember the original Savage Arms 10/110 BA which was discontinued. Monstrous in size. Monstrous in price. It was notably accurate, but the sheer weight, size, and price tag definitely hindered the popularity of the model. Savage Arms did not give up [Read More…]
Last month the bronze crest that normally resides on the Samuel Colt monument was pried off and stolen by vandals. Since then James L. Griffin, director of the Sam and Elizabeth Colt Industrial and Frontier Heritage Center in Hartford, has located the missing tribute [Read More…]
You might remember earlier this year Miles V. blogged that SAMCO, a firearms importer, and distributor, was being auctioned off to the highest bidder. Since then the auction appears to have been completed, and the assets of the once mighty importer of interesting [Read More…]
The Ruger 10/22, by dint of its modular construction, it quite easy to modify. Trigger packs, bolts, receivers, stocks and barrels are easy to change out for many purposes. Many people enjoy shooting them suppressed. Though eye and ear protection should be worn at [Read More…]
When the AK-Alfa rifle was announced at Kalashnikov USA’s booth at the 2016 SHOT Show early in the year, it created an enormous buzz. The rifle’s Kalashnikov heritage, sleek looks, and surprise appearance in association with Kalashnikov’s [Read More…]
The Glock 17 and 19 has been the gold standard for combat handguns since shortly after its introduction to the US market in 1988. Some of you 1911 guys out there are going to dispute that, but the widespread adoption and high sales numbers of the compact 9mm tells a [Read More…]
