Welcome to TFB Podcast Roundup 41. By now, some of you will have already heard our recent podcast conducted with TFB Writer Vladimir Onokoy. Once again I’d like to thank Vlad for sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience with all of us and also encourage all of you firearms nerds out there to give it a listen as I think it demonstrates a very unique evolution of a foreign firearms industry that normally doesn’t get a lot of attention. In addition to that podcast featured further down in this article, we’ve also got a few CCW-oriented podcasts surrounding some decisions you have to make for yourself when it comes to carrying concealed. I’d really like to hear your thoughts on those down in the comments with regards to how you carry (modified, not modified, big handgun or small handgun, etc). Finally, we’ve got some very good information on the differences between the M16, M4, and AR-15 from the Vortex Nation Podcast and another short episode from them about the use of binoculars with eyeglasses. I don’t wear eyeglasses myself but I’ve got lots of friends who do and this was a pretty eye-opening episode for me (pun definitely intended). Enjoy this week’s episodes everybody!

TFB Podcast Roundup 41: Talking with TFB’s Vlad, and CCW Gun Choices

Vortex Nation Podcast #10MinuteTalk – Using Binoculars with Eyeglasses

Length: 20 Minutes

Eyeglass wearers use binoculars. That’s no secret, and a big reason our binoculars feature high-quality twist-up eyecups. But are there other things a person may need to consider? In this listener request, we grab Mr. Mike McDowell to take this topic on through his lens (pun intended).

As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you’d like covered on the Vortex Nation™ podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast

Like I said before, I don’t wear eyeglasses but I’ve always wondered if the effect that an additional pair of lenses of any type would be when looking through a magnified optic (binoculars or otherwise). If you wear eyeglasses let us know what your experiences have been and what optics you’ve found that have the most forgiving design to accommodate your glasses.

Handgun World Podcast Episode 591 – Keep Your Carry Guns Mostly Stock

Length: 32 Minutes

In this episode, the guys talk about pretty much what you’d expect from the title. This is a subject that I’ve actually gone back and forth on many times over the years and I’ve gradually settled somewhere in the middle when it comes to a vast majority of my concealed carry guns. I do carry with an optic most of the time now but I generally don’t mess with the trigger or any of the other controls. The only modifications I tend to make now are flush-fit increased capacity magazines and aftermarket night sights. What about you?

Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk 04.03.22 Hour 1

I’ll be headed off to Gunsite for a training course here in the next couple of weeks and this will be my first trip there. I’m extremely excited and hearing Tom talk about the place is just making me look forward to it more! In regards to the subject of the podcast, I’m still in the camp of training with the gun you carry as I think it gives you the best type of training on a one-to-one scale.
