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 got a general introduction to the Silencer Central Banish 46 multi-host suppressor. This week we screw on the piston system and put the Banish 46 though some subsonic pistol caliber ammo testing. Let’s see how quiet we can get these host combinations in both the short and long configurations.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we looked at various products that help carry concealed and some items to avoid entirely. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to check it out by clicking the link here. This week, I want to discuss a topic that not many consider in the overall concealed carry world which is magazine selection. With countless options and manufacturers of magazines, it can be tough to know exactly which one is best for you and your carry needs. Let’s take a closer look at what options are on the market and the importance of magazines.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its many different types of guns, gear, and shooting sports! Last week we took a look at Springfield’s new 2020 Rimfire rifles which are not only compatible with 10/22 pattern magazines but also come in a wide variety of options running from the budget-friendly target models to the more refined AAA Grade Turkish Walnut Classic editions. More match ammunition is on the way so we can do some more serious testing with those rifles to see if they can be honed in a bit in the accuracy department (we’ll also be using more suitable optics for making tight groups). Speaking of match-grade ammunition, it seems that just about every firearm I’ve had the opportunity to review in recent memory has either needed or would have benefitted from match-grade rimfire ammo – and that rings true for our subject this week: the Vudoo Gun works Möbius 1911-22 Conversion. Vudoo’s own offering to the competition and target grade 22LR pistol is an amalgamation of Vudoo Gun Works’ Möbius 1911 pistol and their 22LR conversion assembly that claims to be capable of producing a sub 1″ group at 50 yards with match-grade ammunition. I don’t have match-grade pistol ammunition just yet, but today we’re going to test out the Möbius 22LR pistol with some other common ammo we do have to get some initial impressions on it.

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 got a shot at the new  YHM Sidewinder M2 9mm suppressor. Today we take out the Silencer Central Banish 46, a universal pistol and rifle silencer that can handle anything from .22LR to .45-70 Gov’t. Will the Banish 46 change my mind on multi-caliber and multi-host suppressors being a primary solution? Let’s take a look.

Since the original Glock 17 was produced in 1982, there has been about nine different configurations of barrel lengths and grip sizes, but today, we’ll take a look at the curious “crossover” Glock 45 MOS. For those new to Glock pistols, the G45 is chambered in 9mm and features a full-size grip that accommodates the standard 17-round magazine, yet has a compact (4.02 inches) barrel. The “MOS” stands for Modular Optic System and MOS pistols come ready from the factory for a red dot sight of your choosing. Last year, I heard of police departments near me that had decided to issue the Glock 45 MOS as their standard-issue pistol, which made me pause to think “Why?”.

Back in the day… there used to be all kinds of break-action, single-shot firearms that people could shoot, hunt, and play with in abundant cartridge offerings. You had your Thompson Contenders, New England Firearms (NEF) Pardners, Harrington & Richardson (H&R) SB1 or SB2, and many others. Nowadays, your options are very limited, if not, non-existent. Now, Rossi USA is revitalizing that category by introducing the Rossi Brawler!

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about a concealed carry gun size guide. If you missed out on last week’s article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I’ve seen a ton of newer people carrying improper holsters and interesting ammo choices. There’s a plethora of fantastic holsters and ammo on the market but there’s a fair amount of poor options as well. Let’s take a closer look at what and what not to carry.

Just for the record, no, I haven’t started writing for the mainstream media, and if someone asked me “How pro-gun are you?”, I’d show them a photo of a battleship. We’ve all had a good laugh whenever the media announces that someone was found with “an arsenal” that included two pistols, a rifle, a scope and (gasp) 1000 rounds of ammo. However, the question still remains, how many guns can one person own? I suggest there are several limits – let’s explore.

In this video, James Reeves reviews the FN Reflex and compares it to the SIG P365, which is perhaps the most popular micro-compact pistol on the market. James discusses the features of this new micro-compact pistol from FN America. It is a slim, one-inch pistol that is easy to conceal and carry. The Reflex is chambered in 9mm and has a 3.3-inch barrel. It is striker fired and has a capacity of 11 or 15 rounds. The Reflex also has an optional factory-milled slide for mounting a micro red dot sight in the Holosun K-pattern. James also tests the reliability of the FN Reflex with 540 rounds of mixed ammunition, including personal defense hollow points.

Welcome everyone to the 200th 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.

Shield Arms makes more than just Glock magazines with additional capacity. The new Junk Sack is a fanny pack designed specifically for concealed carry.  It can hold pistols up to the size of a Glock 19.

Raven Concealment is throwing it back to the early 2000s with a re-release of their Phantom holster. It was discontinued in 2015, but Raven is reintroducing it for select pistols this summer. Let’s take a look at the lineup.

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 got a look at the new YHM Fat Cat 5.56mm compact rifle suppressor. This week we spend some time with the new YHM Sidewinder M2 pistol suppressor in 9mm. Is this your next pistol can? Let’s take a look.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we looked at the various cost levels of carry guns. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I wanted to talk about a similar topic that a commenter brought up to me last week. Determining the overall size of your carry gun can be a major factor in how comfortable you are carrying throughout the day. Finding that sweet spot where you have a firearm big enough for your hand yet be able to conceal it easily is the place everyone wants to eventually find to carry comfortably. Let’s take a closer look at my interpretation of a carry gun size guide.

Tyrant CNC has just just announced a new set of tritium night sights for GLOCK pistols. The Tyrant CNC GLOCK compatible night sights are available for a wide variety of GLOCK models. MSRP starts at $94.95 and additional details can be found below.

In recent years, we have witnessed a significant transformation in the handgun industry’s offerings, with a notable shift towards optics-ready models. Nowadays, it’s almost unusual to encounter a new pistol that doesn’t come equipped with optics. This emerging expectation has prompted companies to modify their older pistol designs to accommodate these advancements. The timeless Beretta 92 has proven itself adaptable to the changing times, exemplified by the exceptional 92X RDO. While the 92 is already an outstanding firearm, its conversion to an optics-ready configuration poses certain challenges. That’s where the Dlah Designs Beretta 92 RDO Flush Optics Plate comes into play, aiming to optimize the RDO variant to its fullest potential. So, without further ado, let’s dive right into the review!

Thanks for joining us on another edition of TFB’s Wheelgun Wednesday, in which we cover every topic known to the world of revolvers. We always want to hear reader feedback, but as the title suggests, I demand humbly request your participation to hear what your go-to barrel length is when it comes to revolvers. With the exception of homemade revolvers, we’re limited to barrel length options presented by wheelgun manufacturers, but when your go-to barrel length is available, which do you choose?

Welcome everyone to the 199th 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.

Walther’s PDP is the new duty handgun for the  Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). FDACS will use both the full-size and compact versions depending on the needs of the officer.

Back in October 2022, the Australian Defence Force selected the SIG Sauer P320 XCarry Pro as their next sidearm. The P320 XCarry Pro will replace the venerable Browning Hi-Power under Australia’s Lethality System Project LAND 159. The Australian Defence Department have just made their first order for the new pistols worth $20 million (AUD$30 million).

In the world of 1911s, tradition and quality are the topics most fans talk about when looking for a high-quality 1911. Last year, I reviewed the Dan Wesson Specialist stainless model chambered in 9mm. Recently Dan Wesson came out with a new optics-ready model for their Specialist with various plates for popular optics on the market. I ultimately decided to pick up an Optics Ready Specialist to see how it stacks up to other pistols currently available. Let’s take a closer look at the Dan Wesson Specialist Optics Ready 1911.

Beretta is adding a new compact model to the APX A1 family. With a 3.7-inch barrel and 15-round magazine, the APX A1 Compact fits in between the Full Size and Carry models. Let’s see what other features it brings to the table.

More 1911 @ TFB:

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we took a look at whether it’s better to be self-taught or start off by taking training. Both had their perks and it was a great conversation in the comments so thank you to everyone who left their thoughts in the comment section. If you happened to miss last week’s article, be sure to click the link here. Recently I’ve heard a number of people say they don’t want to carry a concealed firearm because it’s too expensive to get set up. I think it’s a common misconception to think it costs a huge amount of money to get set up as a concealed carrier. Let’s take a closer look at some levels of carry guns.

Wilson Combat unveiled the fifth pistol (Series 5) of their  Limited Ten series of custom 1911 handguns. As the name of the series implies, the pistols of this collection are produced in a quantity of ten units. The Limited Ten series pistols have unique features that can not be found in other Wilson Combat handguns. Let’s take a look at the specs and features of the Wilson Combat Limited Ten Series 5 pistol.

The SIG P320 and SIG P226 are two of the most popular pistols on the market and for good reason. Both pistols are well-made, reliable, and accurate. However, there are some key differences between the two pistols that may make one a better choice for you than the other. Further, we compare and contrast the top end of each model: The SIG P320 AXG Legion versus the SIG P226 X-Five. We will discuss the features of each pistol, their performance, and their overall value. We will also provide our recommendations for which pistol is the best choice for different types of shooters. Ultimately, the best way to decide which pistol is right for you is to try both of them out and see which one you prefer, but let us know what you think in the comments: P226 or P320?

Welcome everyone to the 198th 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 at SHOT Show 2023, during the SIG Sauer Range Day, we got to look at the new SIG Sauer Electro-Optics Red Dot, the ROMEO-M17. Much to the chagrin of TFBTV viewers and those who liked the features that the M17 offered, customers weren’t able to get it since it had a proprietary SIG-LOC mounting interface for the M17/M18 military-issue handgun. Today SIG Sauer Electro-Optics is excited to announce the new RMSc footprint ROMEO-X series of optics which will include the smaller ROMEO-X meant for the RMSc footprint, and the ROMEO-X PRO meant for all P320, and DeltaPoint PRO footprints.

Hello and welcome back to another Edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing weekly series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its many different types of guns, ammunition, and history! Recently we’ve been looking at a lot of modern releases like the Bergara BMR and B14R, even the Taurus PT22 and there is another brand new 22LR semi-auto pistol that will be hitting the market soon! So in light of all the new stuff coming out, I wanted to take a gander back at one of the neatest, and maybe most useless types of handguns on the market – pocket-sized 22LR pistols, and in particular the Taurus PT22. The Taurus PT22 is a pocket-sized semi-automatic pistol that offers a compact and lightweight design, making it an ideal choice for concealed carry and personal protection – if you believe that 22LR is suitable for your needs in that department. Today, we will delve into the specifications and features of the Taurus PT22, discuss the suitability of the .22 LR cartridge for self-defense, share insights from range experiences, and ultimately figure out where it stands compared to similar firearms in its class.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM Fat Cat rifle suppressor. Last week we got a preview of the Daniel Defense Daniel SoundGuard SG-30 suppressor. This week we start to look at a whole host of new YHM suppressors, starting with the YHM R45, a versatile option for shooters with multiple hosts. But how does it perform? Let’s take a look.
