Glock is a pretty big name in the game of handguns. That is a given. I personally am not the biggest fan of the platform from the outside-looking-in perspective. In short, I’m not much of a Glock guy. It has nothing to do with me trying to be different. They have just never been my speed. That does not mean I do not have the utmost admiration and appreciation for the design. The handful of people who know me know there is only one Glock I have said that I would be tempted to purchase. The Glock 34. Well, Glock was kind enough to send along the latest and greatest Gen 5 Glock 34 MOS for me to try out. Did it make me a Glock guy? Let’s dive into the review!

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about shooting from retention and looked at the pros and cons of retention shooting. If you happened to miss that article, click the link here to check out that article. Lately, I have gotten a fairly decent amount of questions about what a semi-new shooter needs to build their skills from practice. Let’s take a closer look at some key factors to consider when trying to learn the best skills to build for carrying concealed.

The Battle of Mogadishu, also known as the Black Hawk Down incident, is a pivotal event in modern military history that took place in Somalia on October 3-4, 1993.  This battle, part of Operation Gothic Serpent, was a mission aimed at capturing key lieutenants of Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. As U.S. and coalition forces found themselves in an unexpected and intense firefight, they relied on a range of firearms and equipment to navigate the urban warfare environment.

Girsan and EAA Corp continue to expand their High Power range with the new MCP35 PI LW. The pistols are available in two-tone tungsten or all-black finishes and with or without a frame rail. They are 1/2lb lighter than the full-size steel framed Girsan High Powers and also have an optics cut slide that accommodates RMS and RMSc footprints. Depending on the configuration, the pistols are available at $749 or $772 MSRP.

Let’s explore the diversity of the 57 modern revolver cartridges.

Welcome everyone to the 209th 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.

Taurus is entering its own new pistol into the high-capacity micro-compact category of pistols – the GX4 Carry. Unlike the GX4 and GX4 XL before it, the new GX4 Carry features a new 15-round standard capacity magazine, new Teflon-coated operation control parts, and a new dust cover 1913 rail for mounting lights and laser.

James Reeves is at TriggrCon 2023 at the MCM Firearms booth to talk about the Delta S DS9 Integrally Suppressed Upper. The DS9 takes design language from other highly successful integrally suppressed designs to give their customers a unique combination of magazine options, ammunition performance, and ease of maintenance.

Caldwell Shooting Supplies recently introduced their new Caldwell Flash Bang hit indicator that combines with steel targets to provide a visual aid when the target is struck. The Caldwell Flash Bang attaches via hook and loop fasteners to the back of steel targets larger than five inches. The Flash Bang is attached with the LED light strip hanging off the edge of the target, and once the target is hit by a bullet, the LEDs light up to provide the shooter instant visual feedback as to the hit.

James Reeves is at the Nighthawk Custom Booth at TriggrCon 2023 checking out their latest addition to the Boardroom series of handguns – the BDS9. The Nighthawk Custom BDS9 (Boardroom Double Stack 9mm) is a high-performance pistol designed for competitive shooters. It features a tri-cut angle top slide with lightening ports for faster cycling and comes with an Interchangeable Optics System (IOS) for iron sights or a red dot optic, a tough anodized black billet aluminum grip, and of course, the love and care that goes into every Nighthawk Custom pistol.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about the best carry positions based on your daily tasks. If you missed last week’s episode, be sure to click the link here to check out the article. This week, I wanted to talk about a training I did with some local trainers about handgun manipulation in tight spaces. They went through how to properly draw a firearm from retention as well as how to clear rooms with less-than-ideal entryways. Let’s take a closer look at the answer to the question “Is retention shooting a good idea?”.

XS Sights has announced new offerings for SIG, FN, and Springfield pistols needing a new set of standard or suppressor height night sights. XS Sights’ second generation R3D 2.0 night sights, as well as their new Minimalist tritium sights, are now available for the FN 509, Springfield Hellcat, and XD series, as well as the entire lineup of SIG Sauer pistols including some of the older DA/SA models.

In this episode of TFBTV Show Time, James Reeves is at TriggrCon 2023 with Rob Curtis to talk about the Lionheart Vulcan 9, a modernized version of the South Korean military’s pistol, the proven Daewoo K5 or DP51. The neatest part about this pistol is its “double action plus” half-cocked trigger which serves as a sort of 2-stage trigger for carrying safety and with the hammer down, but with a light 4.5 pounds trigger pull. Check out all of the features of this handgun, and make sure to subscribe to TFBTV Show Time and check the TriggrCon 2023 playlist.

Mission First Tactical (MFT), a manufacturer of high-quality rifle/carbine accessories and holsters made in the USA, has introduced the High Ride Adjustable holster belt loop attachment. This new addition is ideal for those looking to carry their firearms for everyday use. There are no current images of this product, just filler graphics.

In this episode of TFBTV Show Time, James Reeves is at Watchtower Firearms speaking with them about their new double stack 1911/2011 style pistol. This model is a collaboration with @PewView and is (almost) literally guaranteed to be the smoothest 2011 at the show.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at TriggrCon 2023 talking to the guys from SDS Imports about their new range of Tisas 1911s. From budget reproduction USGI 1911s to tricked-out and Wicked-out 9mm 1911s, Tisas is bringing a handful of new models to the USA.

Angled Spade Technologies (AST) is excited to announce what they think will solve one of the industry’s most hot-button issues surrounding the SIG Sauer P320 platform. The new AST Fire Control Upgrade Kit is an aftermarket solution that allows for direct mechanical control of the sear without altering the look or feel of the P320 platform. The intent with this product, according to one of their engineers is to increase the overall safety of the P320 platform.

TFBTV Show Time coverage is BACK: We’re reporting from TriggrCon 2023 on TFBTV Show Time this week. Remember, that’s a separate channel from the TFBTV Main channel, so don’t forget to subscribe as we’ll be dropping 15-20 videos from TriggrCon 2023 on Show Time this week. We’ll also have a playlist for TriggrCon 2023 videos. To start with, an allegedly perfectly legal buttstock for most handguns – the One Shot. One Shot is a manufacturer of an allegedly legal non-brace stock that works for pistols and is, according to the company reps, in use with special forces units and the United States Secret Service. Sound off about this device in the comments.

While being almost 25 years old, The Boondock Saints, a violent tale of two brothers cleansing their hometown streets of Boston is certainly a cult classic as it spawned too many sequels that did not live up to the quality of the first entry. Throughout the film, there are some great action sequences and a ton of pistols displayed on screen. Does anyone else think that the director of this movie always used the Akimbo perk in Modern Warfare 2?

I’ve had the opportunity to test out, shoot, and own pretty much every single iteration of the 9mm micro-compact category of pistols. Since the introduction of the SIG Sauer P365, every company has strived to match the groundbreaking and quite honestly “game-changing” features set that the P365 offered concealed carriers and shooters. While FN pistols haven’t been my favorite, there have been some notable releases like the FN Five-seveN as well as the 509 Tactical that have impressed me quite a bit with the Five-seveN being the dream gun of pretty much anyone who has watched Battle Star Galactica or played Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell. FN’s newest offering, however, doesn’t have the backup of the silver screen or the video game industry this time, but what does it have to offer? I’ve had my hands on an FN Reflex for a while now and today I’ll share with you my initial thoughts on it, and where I think it falls within the highly competitive market of micro-compact 9mm pistols.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week I talked about some of the rules people choose to break when they concealed carry for one reason or another. If you happened to miss that, be sure to check out the link here to give it a read. This week, I wanted to go over some of the questions I get from people about the best way to carry in certain situations. It can be hard to know exactly what the best route is for various situations, so I decided to make a list of the most common questions to go over. Let’s take a look at the best carry spots for daily tasks.

Faxon Firearms is proud to announce the newest addition to its growing lineup of FX-19 pistol options. The new FX-19 LT series includes non-threaded match series flame-fluted barrels, two different slide profiles to choose from, and an RMR/507C optics cut complete with a lower 1/3 co-witness front sight. These entries into Faxon’s own “Gucci Glock” series will run you about $800 which is slightly less than some of the other similar pistols out there.

Accuracy X, Inc., a company known for handcrafted 1911s that typically cost more than most teenagers’ first and maybe even second cars has some new items coming to market. For those unaware, Accuracy X makes some incredibly high-end firearms. They started out with 1911s, then moved on to other firearms like Glocks and even bolt action rifles. Now they are making 2011 pistols as are many of the other custom 1911 manufacturers like Nighthawk Customs and Chambers Customs.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we compared the YHM Turbo lineup with the YHM Fat Cat on 5.56 semiautomatic hosts. This week’s host is TFB senior staff writer Austin R. who has a very application-specific suppressor – the B&T MK23 suppressor. Let’s take a look.

Welcome back to another TFB Review. Today, we will be looking at the extended review of my TYPE-A EG11 pistol from TYPE-A Rifle Company. In the last couple of years, several companies have come out with their version of the high-end 2011-style firearm. Everyone from Dan Wesson, Fowler Industries, Nighthawk, and Wilson Combat has come out with variations of the 1911 double-stack pistol. Back at SHOT Show 2023, BG Defense announced their EG 11, their own variation of the 1911 double stack style firearm. After roughly 8 months and well over 6,000 rounds through this pistol, let’s take a look at the Type-A EG11 pistol.

The infamous Taurus Judge is making a return, this time with a much longer barrel to guarantee accuracy, and an integrated picatinny rail for the adoption of today’s modern reflex sights and scopes. Taurus is proud to finally introduce the new Judge Home Defender. Like previous versions of the Judge, the revolver still makes use of the 45 Colt / 410 Bore 3-inch cylinder but adds a bunch of new modern design elements and features that mark the next chapter in the Judge’s evolution.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we took a look at some of the best to worst carry positions when concealing a firearm. If you happened to miss that article, click the link here to check it out. This week, I want to go over a few different topics I have recently thought about. In general, it is good to have rules when carrying a concealed firearm. Certain situations challenge these rules and in certain situations, it makes sense to even break these rules we set for ourselves. I’ll give you examples of situations where it made sense to go against conventional thinking and go against my own rules. Let’s take a look at what carry rules to break in certain situations.

Welcome to TFB’s Wheelgun Wednesday, where we delve into all things revolvers. This week, we’ll take a look at the rare Smith & Wesson 629 Master Hunter, which was designed as an optics-only model from the factory in 1997 to 1999. Our friend, Cédric Armurier happened across a nice example of the 629 Master Hunter when a customer requested some work done on one. Cédric provided the photos you see here, and Smith & Wesson assisted with some background details about the Master Hunter model.

Today’s Photo Of The Day is a picture shared by North American Arms (NAA) on their social media pages. It depicts the following models of the company’s rimfire mini revolvers (top to bottom):  The Hogleg,  The Sheriff,  Sidewinder and  22 Long Rifle. The chambering of the latter is of course .22LR and the rest of these wheelguns are chambered in .22 Magnum. All four revolvers have five-round cylinders. The barrel lengths are 6″, 2.5″, 1.5″ and 1.13″.
