We’ve all seen the folding Glocks, but a folding revolver? Well, it’s available from Standard Manufacturing. With a barrel length of .88″ and a capacity of five rounds of .22 Magnum, I think the design is extraordinary and makes much more sense than a collapsible piece of polymer. The Standard Manufacturing Switch Gun is machined from stainless steel and there is also a blued version. It comes with a polymer grip and the trigger is single action.

No Photo Of The Day is the same. Today we have the Heckler & Koch SP5K. Did you know that the P in SP5K stands for “Pug?” It’s true, I read it on the Internet!

One of the purposes of TFB’s Photo Of The Day is to broaden the audience for the excellent work done by professionals from combat photography to still and action photography of firearms. A perfect picture may take everything from a split second to months of planning, and it would be sad to see that kind of work go unnoticed. Considering that these images were taken onboard the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) in the Atlantic Ocean it makes the challenge to produce high-quality images even harder. Above you can see a really good image of the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle with the Trijicon VCOG 1-8×28 rifle scope. The U.S. Marine is Lance Cpl. Camron Edwards, a rifleman with Golf Company, Battalion Landing Team 2/6, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit.

Photo Of The Day: We’ve rounded up a few of our favorites for your viewing pleasure today. Grab a coffee or a glass of water, sit down, and relax for a while. Above you see a British soldier firing his SA80 during the Vigilant Fox exercise in Finland, with an interesting mix of firearms from around the world.

Photo Of The Day: We have U.S. soldiers on training in Finland. The U.S. unit got to shoot with the Finnish unit’s RK62 rifles and PKM machine guns. The Finnish troops also provided a mobility demonstration with engineers clearing an opening with a Bangalore in an adversary’s imaginary mine obstacle.

Every now and then you see an image of something and it immediately makes you want it. Guess what, the image above is such an example, for me at least. It’s also a clear picture for TFB’s Photo Of The Day. The Wild Hog Field and Range Holster is ambidextrous and can be worn cross draw or with a forward cant. It’s made of top grain and center cut steer hide, and it has an adjustable tension device.
It is available for a large number of SAA revolvers, large frame DA revolvers, and numerous large autoloaders. It can fit belts up to 1 ¾” wide.

We’ve been running our Photo Of The Day article series for almost 10 years, and the archives keep growing every day. Today it’s time for the 7.62 RK 62, made in Finland. This is the second in a series of articles TFB is doing on some of the firearms used by the Finnish Army.

In today’s Photo Of The Day, we have an image called “For the sniper lovers” from the highly talented Hille James Combat Photographer. The soldiers are from the Dutch Korps Commandotroepen. Can you identify the rifle without looking at the tag?

The Slovenian National Police Force’s tactical police unit is known as Specialna Enota Policije (SEP), which translates as “Special Police Unit.” The SEP is used to carry out counterterrorism operations and other risky jobs that are too dangerous or challenging for the ordinary police force. They’re known as the “Red Panthers” and can be seen here using the Heckler & Koch HK416A5, G28 and G28 Patrol. Further down you will also see the rather peculiar FN F2000S.

A sunny trip to Cyprus is what’s on offer in today’s Photo Of The Day. We have soldiers from the RAF Regiment conducting Ground Extraction Force (GEF) exercises as part of an ongoing Joint Personnel Recovery which will continue as they return to the U.K. Whilst deployed, 1 Squadron Force Protection have continued to uphold their regular training, including maintaining their annual competency on the L129A1 Sharpshooter Rifle. The L129A1 is a semi-automatic high-precision designated marksmanship rifle.

Every day we run an article called Photo Of The Day with some of the coolest pictures from the world of firearms. Today we have images from Fuerzas Comando 2022 on offer, with Brazilian snipers.

You don’t see often the Kriss Vector these days, but this Photo Of The Day makes a change. The images are from a Finnish company called Silent Steel, and this is their flowthrough Compact Streamer suppressor.

Photo Of The Day and we go back to 1982 and the Falklands Conflict with some images from the Imperial War Museums. Above you see Royal Marines with FN FALs patrolling the Argentine submarine Santa Fe. This submarine was in fact built by the USA during the Second World War and transferred to Argentina in the early 70s. For more about the history of Santa Fe check here.

Do you love photography? Without it, TFB and TFBTV, would not be the same. We have been running our very special Photo Of The Day for years, sharing great photos from around the world and the world of firearms onto the doorstep of the screen you’re looking at right now. It may be difficult to spot in these images, but the location is the Marine Corps Base in Hawaii. Above you see a scout sniper with Weapons Company, Battalion Land Team, 3d Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, Marine Air-Ground Task Force 7 (MAGFT-7), as he sights in on a target during a live-fire sniper range in support of Rim Of The Pacific (RIMPAC) 2022 exercise.

Each day a different image from the World of firearms. We call this POTD, short for Photo Of The Day, and it is our daily article series where we go to great lengths trying to find the most interesting pictures for you out there.

The Royal Marines have deployed to Norway for their annual winter deployment in the Arctic Circle. This year, Royal Navy ships joined the Royal Marines for a large-scale NATO exercise Cold Response 22. The Commandos refreshed their skills in surviving, moving, and fighting across the ice. Above you see a Commando emerge from the freezing depths of an Arctic fjord during final preparations for the largest winter exercise in Norway for 30 years. Below you can see them fighting in a cloud of gunsmoke.

Photo Of The Day: What a “just in time” picture of a Green Beret with the 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), as he fires an AT-4 anti-tank weapon during a heavy weapons rehearsal. The location was the Yakima Training Center, Wash., on Jun 24, 2022. This rehearsal provided an opportunity to fire both direct and indirect fire weapons which increases the team’s lethality.

Photo Of The Day: During a Joint Combined Exchange Training (JCET) in Isiolo, Kenya on July 1, 2022, U.S. Marines assigned to Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) undertake a specialized training exercise alongside Kenyan Army personnel. Above you can see several soldiers using FN SCARs with iron sights and a variety of optics.

Photo Of The Day: Above you see (well, kind of) an Australian Army soldier from the 2nd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment. He patrols through bushland during a simulated reconnaissance operation during the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise. From June 29 to August 4, 26 countries, 38 ships, four submarines, more than 170 aircraft, and 25,000 people will take part in RIMPAC in and near the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. His rifle looks like an F88 AUSteyr, or do you think it’s something else?

Photo Of The Day: U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Julian Larsen, a scout sniper with 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, engages a target with an M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System while aboard a UH-1Y Huey during Expeditionary Operations Training Group Sniper Course 22-2 on Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan, June 14, 2022.

Do we show too few shotguns in our Photo Of The Days? Well, here’s one in the hands of Private First Class Ariana Rittenhouse, a combat engineer with the United States Marine Corps using an M1014 shotgun to breach a fabricated door on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, on July 23, 2022. This was a part of the ballistics breaching range.

In today’s Photo Of The Day, we have a picture shared by  IWI (Israel Weapon Industries) on their social media pages depicting a trio of  Uzi Pro submachine guns. With the shortest barrel option and no stock attached, the bottom Uzi Pro in the picture is the most compact configuration of this submachine gun. The middle one is fitted with an adjustable folding stock, a trigger guard/front grip, a longer barrel and micro red dot sight. And the top Uzi Pro in the picture is equipped with a suppressor and larger reflex sight in addition to the stock and grip.

TFB’s  Photo Of The Day and you’re looking at the Palmetto State Armory AK-V, which is a US-made clone of the Russian Vityaz, chambered in 9mm. I would like to shoot a competition in Pistol Caliber Carbine with it, to see how it goes – just let me mount a red dot on it first.

You may be cool, but not riding on the side of a light helicopter in downtown Tampa cool. Luckily they’re only firing blanks, but you wouldn’t know without the facts behind each and every Photo Of The Day here at The Firearm Blog. As if that wasn’t enough, the U.S. Special Operations Command soldiers arrived by boat as well.

Did you ever think that a suppressor could be a collectible? I didn’t really until now. In this Photo Of The Day, we’ll take a look at a suppressor made by Maxim Silent Firearms Co. around 1910, over 110 years ago.

One of the purposes of TFB’s  Photo Of The Day is to broaden the audience for the excellent work done by photographers of firearms. In this case  Cinematic Arms and his photos of the FNC. FNC stands for Fabrique Nationale Carabine.

Norway’s Armed Forces have been using the FN Minimi Light Machine Gun (in 5,56×45 NATO) since the late 80s. Recently they awarded FN Herstal another contract to supply up to 4,000 FN Minimi 7.62 Mk3 Light Machine Guns, a movement up in caliber as you can see. In this Photo Of The Day, we see the Telemark Battalion conducting a live-fire exercise with various firearms of the Norwegian Army.

Today is the National Moon Day! 53 years ago, on July 20, 1969, the Lunar Module Eagle of Apollo 11 spaceflight landed on the surface of Earth’s only natural satellite. A little over six hours after the landing (which was already July 21st UTC),  Neil Armstrong, the commander of Apollo 11, stepped on the surface of the Moon. Indeed, it was one small step for a man but one giant leap for mankind. In today’s Photo Of The Day, we are taking a look at the Cabot Moonshot 1911, a custom pistol dedicated to this important event in the history of the human race.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day has become an impressive gallery, with an ever-growing number of images of firearms in all sorts of environments. Today we’re going to add a few more from the NZ Defence Force and their Army Combat Corps soldiers as they’re in an exercise on the West Coast. Their soldiers mainly use the LMT MARS-L, with a Trijicon ACOG scope and an RMR red dot.

Photojournalism is the process of telling stories using the medium of photography as your main storytelling device. While a journalist will use their pen and paper to tell stories, a photojournalist will use their camera to capture the visual representation of a story. The photographer Torbjørn Kjosvold from the Norwegian Defence does a great job at this. In this Photo Of The Day, we have snipers from the Norwegian Telemark Battalion during an exercise in Oslo. There isn’t much information about what’s going on, but I think the photos are quite telling anyway?
