The India division of Webley & Scott introduced the new Royal chambered in .32 ACP pistol. This new metal-frame, polymer-gripped, DA/SA pistol is intended primarily to serve as a CCW-friendly complement to the steadily growing Webley semi-auto pistol lineup, which already includes their .45 ACP Bull and Hawk models, as well as the .32 ACP Fox model that the new Royal will join.

If Colorado’s so-called “sin tax” on ammunition and firearms has got you irritated, there’s good news: The NRA is finally stepping up with a lawsuit against the state’s government, trying to force them to drop the additional fees that are being charged on all ammo sold in the Centennial State.

The French Special Forces unit GIGN and Swiss ammunition manufacturer SwissP Defence have signed an agreement to jointly develop new 6.5 Grendel cartridges. The rounds are intended to meet GIGN’s operational needs and will be offered in three variants: FMJ, Styx Action, and Target. As you may notice, the Beretta NARP is shown above, chambered in 6.5 Grendel.

The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 is by all metrics a reimagined pistol from the ground up, but to get to the final product that we have before us today, there was quite a journey that occurred. The original Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380 came out around 2010. Simple, tiny, and functional, it was the embodiment of pocket carry. These original models lacked frills and upgrades because they were meant to be basic, affordable, and reliable. Clamor from shooters wanting more brought us the M&P Bodyguard 380. This, in a sense, was a “2.0 variant” without the moniker. It was ever-so-slightly larger, more ergonomic, but the same capacity.

Thanks to Beach Ballistics we have a pretty fancy Photo Of The Day to share. In my opinion the AKS-74U is the coolest AK ever, but I admit I’ve never fired one and probably never will. A friend of mine owns a Swiss SIG SG552, so I’m more familiar with that. All I could wish for was a better trigger and a free-floating barrel, but I guess it works for grunts and the special forces alike so who am I to complain?

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! In this ongoing series, we cover anything and everything rimfire, including ammo, history, and, of course, new guns. While it may be “new” for the reorienting USA division of Heckler & Koch, today’s rifle has garnered a lot of recent interest from the wider community, so I secured a T&E copy for a full review here on TFB. Today, we’ll start at the beginning and take a closer look at this “new” rifle, its brief history so far, and what the rifle has to offer just on the surface. In subsequent articles, we’ll also test it for reliability, accuracy, and all that other good stuff. For now, let's take a look at the HK G36 22LR rifle’s humble beginnings - from the German airgun company Umarex.

In this video, Martin from Austria Arms and I put three of the most talked-about 7.62 battle rifles head-to-head in a real-world accuracy test. We’re talking the FN SCAR 17 Heavy, the SIG MCX-SPEAR, and the brand-new Steyr DMR. All three are piston-driven, modular rifles from top-tier manufacturers—but how do they actually perform on paper? We shot them side-by-side with the same ammo, from the same distance, and the results might surprise you. One of these rifles is supposed to be 1 MOA accurate. Did it deliver? Did any of them? Watch and find out.

If you’ve got one of the new-and-improved .32 pistols that have come out over the past few years, then you need to feed it. And to help you with that, Federal has brought out new 32 H&R Magnum loads in its American Eagle lineup.

Adams Arms is reportedly going to make another comeback under new ownership. According to a pop-up on the Adams Arms website, they’ve been bought by Alexandria Pro-Fab, offering Adams Arms products through the Alexandria website while they prep the defunct company’s re-launch in the second quarter of 2025.

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 132! We’re back with more deals on guns, gear, ammunition, and accessories from some of our most frequented online retailers like Primary Arms, Natchez Shooters Supply, Palmetto State Armory, Brownells, and more.

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. This week, we are seeing if we can get a Glock 19 to run without a booster in the silencer. There is no real practical reason to test this, but I was curious and decided to try it out.

Social media and GunTube blew up a few months ago with news and announcements about the new ECC FR gloves. I have been wearing them for the last year and a half for various tasks, both on and off the range. But these are not cheap, with a retail price of $120. Is that price justified, or not?

Nighthawk Custom and Cooper Rifles of Arkansas have collaborated to create the Nighthawk Custom Cooper Classic, a limited-edition 1911 chambered in .45 ACP. Only 100 will be produced, and it is perfect for our Photo Of The Day. The slide is engraved with Colt patent dates, recognizing the history of the 1911. It’s nice to see a handgun that isn’t “optics ready” every now and then.

Welcome back to another edition of Fudd Friday! Last time, we took a look at the .303 British cartridge. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. My latest purchase that was worthy of a Fudd Friday article is an almost perfect Smith & Wesson Model 29-2 revolver. Let’s take a closer look.

Carbon fiber is an innovative material. It’s composed of a web of filaments woven in a specific pattern and mated with resin. On its own, carbon fiber is flexible and soft to the touch. When the proper amount of epoxy resin is added to the carbon fiber weave, a strong and lightweight bond is made.

Looking to get a shotgun that’s made to fit a young hunter or some other small-framed shooter? Escort has a new option for your hard-earned cash. The new Escort WS Youth has just hit the market, built for kids on a pattern we’re already familiar with.

Galco has a new shoulder holster option in their premium Masterbilt line. The Master Agent is a slimmed-down underarm holster designed for small revolvers. Let’s take a look at all it has to offer.

Check-Mate has unveiled its new 1911 Double Stack Ultra-Hi Capacity 126mm Magazine with a flush fit base, and while two more rounds doesn’t sound like a lot, 19+1 capacity without extended base pads is groundbreaking, especially for concealed carry. As a recognized industry leader and manufacturer of many OEM and aftermarket magazines, Check-Mate promises its new Ultra-Hi Capacity Double Stack 1911 Magazine is cutting-edge and standard redefining for the firearms industry, demonstrating unparalleled capacity and reliability in a compact form factor for Double Stack 1911 enthusiasts.

The .338 Norma Magnum has been a prominent topic for bridging capability gaps in military applications for over a decade. Domestic and international defense contractors actively seek to enhance overmatch and increase lethality while reducing the weight to get a larger caliber in the fight. One notable company in this arena is FK BRNO, a Czech defense firm specializing in designing and manufacturing firearms. FK BRNO recently developed the BKS .338 medium machine gun, unveiled at the Eurosatory 2024 defense exhibition. It was an unexpected development since this was the company's first machine gun design.

Freezing cold in TFB’s Photo Of The Day, as we take a closer look at the KS-1, designated L403A1, and known as the Alternative Individual Weapon (AIW) system. The AIW system includes a Vortex 1–10x low power variable optic paired with an Aimpoint ACRO P-2 red dot sight, enhancing target acquisition capabilities across various engagement ranges. Additionally, the rifle is equipped with the KAC QDC/MCQ-PRT suppressor, designed to reduce muzzle flash and sound signature while mitigating the adverse effects commonly associated with suppressor use, such as increased gas blowback and fouling.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about how less on your carry gun allows you to do more in everyday life. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I wanted to take a look at some of the options that you guys bring up when it comes to carrying less-than-lethal options. I plan on breaking this down into a two-part series where we look at some of the benefits of carrying less-than-lethal and why, legally, it may be better to have a less-than-lethal option rather than just solely relying on your gun. Some of the readers have talked about what they carry when it comes to less lethal options, and recently, I hopped on ASP to order some of the less lethal options on the market. Let’s take a look at the idea of carrying less-than-lethal options.

XS Sights just announced its XS Lever Handguard (LVR-HG) for Henry lever-action rifles. The LVR-HG was designed for the modern lever-action shooter, meticulously crafted based on real-world usage for those looking to update their Henry rifle with a customizable handguard solution that is rugged, lightweight, and will accommodate lights, lasers, or any other M-LOK compatible device.

SK Guns is back at it again with a new fresh and sexy permutation of a 1911 for us, but this time it’s not meant to simply be a collection piece; rather, these are meant to be shot! SK Guns is spending 2025 by venturing into the world of shootable pistols. Similar to some of their launches earlier in the year, the Agent Eclipse was produced in partnership with Stan Chen Customs, Agency Arms, and the color-case hardening was completed by the Famous "DOUG."

Every gun enthusiast likely has their own vision of the perfect "gun room."

The 2011 platform has long been a favorite among competition shooters—fast, accurate, and smooth in a way that makes your average off-the-shelf gun feel clunky in comparison. But let’s be honest: these pistols have historically been big, heavy, and not exactly carry-friendly. Staccato not only noticed this gap in their product lineup but due to the more widespread adoption of Staccato 2011 pistols for not just competition, but duty as well meant that the new Staccato C was an inevitability. Staccato announced its launch earlier in 2024, with the first few pieces shipping out in mid-2024 - mine included. This updated model replaced the earlier single-stack Staccato C, introducing enhancements like a beefier frame and new magazine geometry tailored for versatility in concealed carry, duty, and home defense as opposed to pure competition performance.

Today we have some sweet photos of the M110 SDMR Sniper System, which is a semi-automatic precision rifle that is chambered for the 7.62×51mm NATO round. The optic is a SIG Sauer TANGO6 1–6x24 low-power variable optic, which blends in perfectly among the other strange shades of FDE. The bipod is a 6-9 Harris with a LaRue mount to fit the M-LOK handguard.

Welcome back to Wheelgun Wednesday, TFB’s weekly article series where we discuss all kinds of firearms with cylinders, including unusual ones like the modern multi-caliber pepperbox that we took a look at a couple of weeks ago or what we have for today's edition - the ROTO 12 revolver shotgun line by American Gun Craft. ROTO 12 shotguns are basically black powder percussion revolvers; each chamber of their cylinders must be primed and loaded with FFG powder and projectile. Well, thanks to that feature, purchasing them does not require an FFL transfer; the company can deliver these wheelguns directly to your doorstep (with a few exceptions).

I've been on a bit of an optics kick lately, adding various sighting solutions to my firearms. When the opportunity came to test out Meprolight's Tru-Vision SR MIL-STD Red Dot Optic, I jumped at the chance to see how this would perform on an equally unique looking firearm. After spending a full day at the range in Minnesota's wonderful 30-degree windy weather, I can say with confidence that this red dot delivers on its promises. Let's dive into the details.

Anyone who has built their own AR-15 will have inevitably come across the all-important task of choosing what barrel twist rate they’ll be using. When I built my first AR-15, I relied entirely on a diagram I found on 4chan’s weapons board, /k/, which mapped twist rates to bullet weights. The extremely rudimentary chart clearly identified what common barrel twist rates worked best with what bullet weights, but beyond that, it offered no scientific explanation or reasoning behind it.

Strike Industries has just dropped a practical new accessory for anyone still running a standard A2 birdcage flash hider—the A2 Blast Shield. Designed as a drop-in solution to reduce side concussion and redirect muzzle blast forward, this blast shield is geared toward both professional and civilian shooters looking to enhance comfort without replacing legacy muzzle devices. This product is clearly in high demand: Strike Industries has sold out of the first batch, and a second is on its way now.
