In this episode of TFBTV’s #NRAAM2019 coverage, James meets with H&K to talk about the newest addition to Heckler & Koch’s striker fired polymer wondernine, the VP9. In particular, the VP9L as it is called is a long slide version of the venerable VP9 and VP9-B, and it will give additional controllability and better accuracy to tournament shooters and concealed carriers alike.

In this episode of TFBTV’s #NRAAM2019 coverage, James meets with Beretta reps to talk about the new additions to Beretta’s tactical/practical competition shooting guns. This clip looks at Beretta’s new gas-operated semi-auto shotgun built specifically for competition, the Beretta 1301 Competition Pro shotgun. This high-speed low-drag scattergun has a LOT of features geared towards competition with input from Beretta’s pro competitors and engineers. From Beretta: “After achieving several podium finishes at the last World Shotgun Championships with its unrivaled cycling speed, the 1301 Comp has evolved into the Pro version following the implementation of suggestions made by Beretta’s multiple medal-winning shooters.”

In this episode of TFBTV’s #NRAAM2019 coverage, James Speaks with the gang from POF about their new POF Revolution, a .308 AR-15 (NOT an AR-10) that WEIGHS LESS THAN A 9MM MP5! How do they achieve this? Check the video and find out.

In this episode of TFBTV’s #NRAAM2019 coverage, James visits with his close friends, Taran Butler and Jade Struck, to talk about the SIGs used in John Wick 3. The SIG MPX is a favorite of Taran’s, so it only makes sense that Taran, as the trainer for the John Wick actors like Keanu Reeves and Halle Berry, worked with the MPX for John Wick 3. Also, Halle Berry’s SIG P365 is discussed.

In this episode of TFBTV’s NRAAM 2019 coverage, James Reeves visits with Desantis to talk about new holster designs from the company, which has been in business for nearly 40 years, hand making holsters in leather and synthetic materials for Glocks, 1911s, and many, many other pistols.

In this episode of TFBTV’s #NRAAM2019 coverage, James visits Naroh Arms for the ‘skinny’ (LOL pun) on Naroh’s new Naroh N1 single stack 9mm pistol. Naroh has already been in the gun business, manufacturing AR-15 parts and accessories, but they’ve decided to try their hand at manufacturing pistols, now, and they are starting with the ever-popular single stack 9mm category. They are no making an inexpensive 7+1 9mm pistol for the civilian market.

In this episode of TFBTV’s #NRAAM2019 coverage, James meets with representatives from boutique uber-manufacturer, Nighthawk, to looks at the newest member of the Nighthawk 1911 lineup – the Nighthawk Firehawk 1911.

In this episode of TFBTV’s #NRAAM2019 coverage, James meets with Beretta reps to talk about the new additions to Beretta’s tactical/practical competition shooting guns. This episode looks at the Beretta 92X competition, which was built from the ground up to be a competition/tactical pistol. It comes standard with a lot of match quality features, however, most impressive is the new trigger used by the 92X Competition.

At the 2019 NRA National Meeting, Brannon LeBouef meets with the guys from Keystone Sporting Arms, most famous for their Cricket and Chipmonk line of youth model single shot .22LR rifles, about some new offers. The highlight was the new “Mini-Mosin.” This is a .22LR replica of a Mosin Nagant that uses their cricket action. They also has some new precision rifle trainers, youth .22LR hunting style rifles, as well as some proto-type chassis for Ruger 10-22. Lastly, they showed their youth model shotguns in their “My First Shotgun” line.

In this episode of TFBTV’s #NRAAM2019 coverage, James gets his hands on the glorious resurrection of the SIG Sauer P210 pistol. The P210 is a Swiss legend, renowned for its accuracy and top-shelf trigger. And although SIG is bringing back the P210, this model isn’t a carbon copy: It includes a number of meaningful and well-thought-out upgrades while maintaining the same excellent trigger.

At the NRA Annual Meetings this past weekend, Full Conceal addressed a lot of comments from their customers by creating a lighter and more affordable version of their folding Glock, and unveiling the Full Conceal Aluminum frame. This is something that they alluded to accomplishing when we met with them at SHOT Show 2019 this past winter. Now at the NRA Show they finally had it for us to see in person.

As if Keystone Sporting Arms ( KSA) bringing their Mini Mosin Nagant youth rimfire rifle to the NRA Show would not draw enough attention, if you journeyed further into their booth you found more surprises that are not listed on their website. They will soon be unveiling a Warthog pistol chassis for people to drop 10/22 actions into. They also have been working on a single-shot shotgun that folds into a backpack. Both niche items are incredibly cool in their own right, and we will take a look at each of them.

For those who may not be up to speed with the progression of Springfield Armory’s quality within their SAINT series of AR-15s, the newest SAINT Victor iteration should provide you with a rifle that has familiar handling with many intangibles you may not notice. Springfield is not a company to rest on their laurels so while the original SAINT was received well within the firearms community the SAINT Victor ups the ante. The newest AR that was proudly on display at the NRA Annual Meetings in Indianapolis this past weekend was the SAINT Victor 308! The first .308 Winchester chambered AR produced by Springfield Armory.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at the NRA Annual Meeting to talk to Chris from Magpul about their new MP5 and MP5k compatible parts and accessories, including new hand guards and grip modules for the MP5 series and clones. Also, we get a little hint about the potential for Magpul MP5 mags…

I had some time to stop by and check out Gray Guns booth this weekend at NRA. Gray Guns has been making aftermarket upgrades for different handguns and recently they started making upgrades for the SIG P320 and P365 pistols. This has been increasingly popular with the John Wick movies showcasing their upgraded P365 ran by Halle Berry. I got to check out the P365 that was used in the film. It was an upgraded version with a straight trigger and Gray Guns signature laser stippling.

In this episode of TFBTV’s NRAAM 2019 coverage, James Reeves visits B&T to check out their new B&T APC-9K submachinegun/SMG/PCC, which recently won a contract with the U.S. Army. The APC-9K is a PDW-sized 9mm submachinegun that accepts B&T’s proprietary mags and packs a punch in a very small, easy to use package – BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! Yes, it also can accept Glock magazines with the purchase of a Glock-mag compatible lower. Special thanks to Tim of Military Arms Channel for allowing us to crash his range to shoot the B&T!

Trijicon released their brand new SRO optic last week. They came out with the SRO as a response to their RMR having a small field of view and limiting the shooter’s sight picture. This was one of the bigger items that people were talking about over the weekend in the industry.

If you want to stay alive, relevant, and make desirable products in the firearm industry, you need to have a pulse for what the shooter wants. EO Tech’s brand of optics, Vudu, has been punching out a lot of favorites lately in the riflescope space and they continued to add to that list with the unveiling of the EO Tech Vudu 1-8x24mm SFP (2nd Focal plane).

At the NRA Annual Meetings 2019 held in Indianapolis, Indiana this past weekend Blackhawk! introduced a new holster that will benefit civilians and law enforcement alike by requiring less finger and hand manipulations to release it with the T-Series Holster. One thing that slows everyone down in their ability to draw a firearm in self-defense is the number of steps it takes to present your weapon; thus, the longer it takes to get rounds on target. The Blackhawk! T-Series looks to improve that by utilizing the “Master Grip Principle” to the fullest.

Bushnell has launched a NEW little red dot that looks to be small, intuitive, and easy-to-use for rifles or pistols. This new offering was on proud display at the NRA Annual Meetings 2019 in Indianapolis, Indiana this past weekend. This NEW red dot has been dubbed the Advance Micro Reflex Sight. This small red dot fits on handguns that accept optic plates and could potentially be placed on a rifle or shotgun with a rail as well.

Blackwater is back and stronger than ever with them bringing some awesome products to market. Now don’t think this is just a company using the Blackwater logo trying to be an imitator. This is the original company with Erik Prince at the wheel trying to make some pretty interesting and innovating products.

Action Target is well known in the military and law enforcement worlds for manufacturing and supplying some of the best and most technologically advanced target range training systems on the planet.  Action Target builds ranges for our nation’s special forces and also for military units from allied nations. They have a pretty impressive clientele.  That being said, they also make static and reactive targets for the person looking to do backyard plinking with their kids.

Keystone Sporting Arms ( KSA) debuted a rifle that has the industry buzzing at the NRA Annual Meetings 2019 with the release of the 9130 Mini Mosin Nagant .22 Long Rifle! You read that correctly. They have taken the historic design of the 9130 Mosin Nagant, and shrunk it down into a youth .22 Long Rifle chambered firearm. Some purists for military surplus firearms might be triggered by this while many of us are delighted by the fact that we can train younger shooters with a mosin nagant minus the the recoil.

At the Beretta booth, there were a few different examples of new guns from Beretta. The booth was often busy with people waiting in line to look at both new pistols but they were well worth the wait to check out the newest examples Beretta has to offer.

Unity Tactical continues to innovate and brought many of their new offerings to NRA 2019. Talking to Chip, he said people often ask for a Unity version of products already made well by other companies. Instead of making more of the same, Unity’s goal is to provide new, innovative solutions that are not currently available elsewhere.

Tactical Night Vision Company came to NRA in full form, offering nearly anything the green-eyed shooter could dream of. From Enhanced Clip-On Thermal Imager (E-COTI) to a PVS-31A, many high end goggles were available for attendees to see. However there are also some new options available  with a Powered Bridge Mount and a Non-Powered Bridge Mount to help provide an easier transition for those wanting to get a monocular or move up from a monocular to a dual tube setup.
