Hello everyone and welcome to the first installment of TFB’s Round Table sponsored by Ammunition To Go. In this multi-part series, TFB writers will discuss the characteristics of great ammunition for a particular application. Be it self defense, small game hunting, [Read More…]
Finally, summer has arrived, and we can start the long slide from the longest day of the year down to the shortest. In the meantime, let’s all enjoy a nice dose of humidity, a helping of mosquitoes and those noisy pool parties put on by your idiot neighbor. “I asked [Read More…]
For the last three years, I have been running the First Spear Strandhogg SAPI cut plate carrier. I have tried other plate carriers and there are always positive and negatives associated with each. I started with a few older style carriers but the main issue with them [Read More…]
Firearms instructor, police officer, Marine Corps veteran, private military contractor, and use of force expert Brannon LeBouef takes us through the what and why of his every day carry. A little more than a pocket dump, Brannon LeBouef of NOLATAC explains his gear selection for life in New Orleans, [Read More…]
Every December when the holiday season starts to unfold, I volunteer myself to write TFB’s 12 Days Of Christmas. Yes, it’s my favorite time of year and I enjoy giving you all gift ideas for friends and family, but a I also have a secretly selfish motive factored [Read More…]
I have shot a few rifles with Proof Research Carbon Fiber barrels, and they are really good. The 6.5 Creedmoor I tried at 300 meters I only had to shoot 5 rounds with. As they were all dead center I thought more rounds downrange is just a waste, obviously, it has the [Read More…]
As spring approaches I look forward to more trips to the range and some more long distance shooting. In my preparation, I knew I needed to upgrade some of my equipment. At SHOT Show this year I visited Lyman and saw their Bag Jack and Match Bag combo. My old bag rest [Read More…]
Ok, so there are more than just five items on my list; I couldn’t decide which of the SIG Sauer ammunition should take the top five slots. But since SIG has been nice enough to supply me with ammo for decibel testing for TFB’s Silencer Saturday, I thought it would [Read More…]
We are getting near the end of the voting phase for the Best Factory AR15, so if you haven’t had the time to weigh in, now’s your chance. We’ve updated the list to include your suggestions as well as a few that we neglected to add from the beginning. Review the [Read More…]
There are many traditions associated with Saint Patrick’s Day: wearing green, window-mounted shamrocks, disgusting green beer and now TFB’s Skilled Shooter, Lucky Shot posts. I’d like to think that we have included a little something for everyone (who doesn’t [Read More…]
Not all product or press releases get the attention they deserve, not initially anyway. Try launching a product at, for instance SHOT Show, and it will easily drown in the constant flow of wonderful – and not so – products. The B&T GLOCK Chassis is such [Read More…]
Almost two years ago TFB mentioned the Portable shooting and training barricades by GTGConsult. GTGConsult is a Danish firearms training and consulting company, and it’s time again for a mentioning, as they have joined forces with RE Factor Tactical to bring [Read More…]
This is Snigel Design‘s first appearance here at TFB (well almost). Where does the strange name come from? The company is located in Sweden and in Swedish a snail is called “snigel”. “The snail is the creature that lives in the forest and always [Read More…]
It’s remarkable, but TFB has not covered Fix It Sticks until now. To the best of my knowledge, back in 2013, they started as a popular Kickstarter campaign and successfully came to market with a clever modular tool system. A lot of cyclists use them, but their [Read More…]
TFB has never covered the CKYE-POD but it looks like a really nice bipod for Long Range and Practical Shooting. For instance, it features 3 positions from front to back being stowed, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees. It can also change 5 positions horizontally, I don’t [Read More…]
As one of our readers kindly reminded us, we had forgotten that SB Tactical released a PDW-styled brace for the CZ EVO S1 Scorpion Pistol. Priced at $279.99 it offers 3 different positions for the stock and is ATF compliant., Made in the USA. The CZPDW Brace Includes: [Read More…]
At the First World Shoot Rifle in Russia there were some interesting firearms, some more unique than others. All these pictures are from the shooting ranges at the Patriot Park, near Moscow. In 2015, at the European Rifle Championship in Hungary, Peter Starley finished [Read More…]
With the entry of Optics in a lot of Divisions in both USPSA and IPSC (Production, Production Light and Open) more and more shooters are following the red light. The urge to try something new, aging eye sight…there are many reasons people chose to change from [Read More…]
I’m happy to say this is the first TFB Review in 2019 – I am sure there will be many more during the year. I wanted an upgrade for my Ruger Precision Rifle – perhaps you know that urge to improve something which is already perfect? Well that urge was [Read More…]
‘Twas the night before Christmas… something, something subsonic 300 Blackout. That’s the way the poem goes, right? One of the best parts about Christmas is thinking about how the generations before us celebrated the season in years past. Candles instead of LED [Read More…]
Merry Christmas you filthy animals and thanks for putting up with more of our 12 Days Of TFB Christmas. If you can bear with me for a few more days I promise to leave you alone on December 25th (maybe). Picking perfect pistols is a personal and polarizing topic of [Read More…]
Welcome back, TFB holiday goers, my apologies for the brief hiatus in the 12 Days Of Christmas series here on the blog. With all the bump stock news and events this week, our Saint Nick programming was preempted by the DOJ/ATF announcements and analysis. On top of that, [Read More…]
The Finns have some of the best competition shooters around. Strange, as there are only around 5.5 million Finns around, and it’s dark most of the year. In some way they still manage to become World Champions in many of the practical shooting divisions. TFB has [Read More…]
The death of the shotgun as being a viable defensive tool has been greatly exaggerated. Sure, ammunition capacity is not exactly in the 30 round magazine territory, but the short range power that comes from some of today’s modern shot shells will protect Saint Nick [Read More…]
My apologies for the delay in posting the Rimfire For Rudolph edition of TFB’s 12 Days Of Christmas. A little eggnog, the Grinch playing on TV, a roaring fire and visions of sugarplums were soon dancing in my head. Besides, I thought that our intelligent but dedicated [Read More…]
Hopefully, everyone has made it through Thanksgiving, had a delightful self-induced food coma, and re-emerged with renewed vigor for firearms and Christmas wish lists at the ready! If you fancy yourself an affectionate lover of the 1911, what would be your dream custom [Read More…]
In the decades that I have spent in the shooting world, I have yet to find the one perfect optic that I would consider to be “universal” across a variety of disciplines. Like all gear choices, glass is a series of compromises that include size, weight, clarity, [Read More…]
Often overlooked as potential Christmas gifts, quality ammunition can make all the difference in the world when it comes to the enjoyment of the shooting sports. A world-class firearm is nothing without proven ammo. From the obvious attributes like accuracy and [Read More…]
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Season’s Greetings dear TFB readers, and welcome back to our third annual holiday gift giving guide. Honestly, I’m the last person who would insist our articles be politically correct, but I absolutely believe in being [Read More…]
If the Rezvani Tank isn’t extreme enough for you, there’s now the Military Edition. As a kid the founder of Rezvani, Ferris Rezvani, aspired to become a fighter pilot just like his father. This is represented in the Rezvani emblem, with wings representing [Read More…]
