Hopefully, you survived Thanksgiving and Black Friday… This week’s “Deal of the Week” feature is a curated list continuing on from Black Friday deals, and extending into Cyber Monday/Week deals from across the internet for firearms related [Read More…]
Recently I found myself in a predicament. I am fortunate enough to shoot a lot of varying platforms of firearms from tactical shotguns, AR-15s, and other railed toys. What I did not have though was a good, versatile red dot that I could float between these platforms to [Read More…]

Welcome back my quiet-time friends and thanks for reading TFB’s Silencer Saturday. My name is Pete and I’ll be your host for today’s show. Before we start talking metering and decibels, I’d like to start by asking for some help from you, our readers and fellow [Read More…]
Here is an interesting device but it is shrouded in mystery. Colin Despins of Max Venom Product Group has a crowdfunding campaign to sell the Fast Fire Device (FFD). At the surface level, it looks like a Glock burst firing. Here is the video they have on their Indiegogo [Read More…]
Having compensators on pistols is not exactly new. Competitors have been porting pistols for a very long time. Go look at any open division pistol in USPSA or IPSC. However, since the Roland Special came out, we have seen an increasing trend in compensators for Glocks. [Read More…]
As we roll into that giant sunset in the SHOT Show sky, let’s take a second to review some of the most significant handguns announced a few weeks ago. As a sign of the times, the top requested pistol is basically an MP5 without a stock. Both long rumored and long [Read More…]
In this episode of TFBTV’s Floor Day Coverage (Day 1), James talks to DSA’s sales manager, Marc, about DSA’s newest project: Glock slides. DSA is entering a not-too-crowded-but-growing market of manufacturers offering Glock slides. Ironically, with Glock frames from companies like [Read More…]
It seems that the red dot on handgun debate is raging as hard as the caliber debate. Proponents argue that the red dot is more “accurate” or at least allows for more precise shots. Opponents would state that it is slower to get shots on target due to the time [Read More…]
Saber 5 Systems CLUB (Configurable Locking Utility Baseplate) system is a Glock magazine floor plate replacement with multiple attachment options. The mounting system simply replaces the factory floor plate and allows attaching a finger extension, finger loop, glass [Read More…]
Rock Island Armory posted some pictures to it’s Facebook page at the beginning of this month that appear to show a brand new gun from the Philippines-based firearms manufacturer. These pictures reveal a striker fired, polymer frame 9mm pistol called the RIA SF9. [Read More…]
A very talented builder over at AR15.com is constructing his very own Magpul Folding Machine Gun (FMG9). Using an airsoft platform, a Glock slide, a nine inch barrel and a mill, “RDTCU” was able to build a fully functional PDW. I’ll let his details and [Read More…]
Did you know that you can convert your Glock from 40 to 9mm quickly and safely? Converting your Glock from .40 or .357 Sig to 9mm can be a super easy affair or a rather complicated one depending on what method you use to complete the conversion. In this episode of TFB TV, Patrick shows […] [Read More…]
I’ve waxed nostalgic and written many words on the rise of Glock as the predominant user-customizable handgun platform. Despite not having the backing of the US Military, the Glock’s design, popularity and seriously low parts count, and expired patents [Read More…]
That’s why. After the passage of a set of draconian gun laws, manufacturing of semiautomatic handguns by individuals was banned outright. Meaning, if you want to build a pistol from an 80% kit, you are out of luck. That’s when Nate B., owner of Inlander [Read More…]
Agency Arms is very well known for the custom Glock jobs that the company offers, both as a product in and of itself and as a service for customers sending their handguns in. At SHOT 2017 Agency Arms displayed some of their work on M&P full size handguns at the [Read More…]
The following photographs are from a conversion of a .40 S&W Glock 22 Gen 3, to a 9x19mm. Although most parts are OEM, bare in mind this is in no way representative of what a stock Glock is, and is an indication to be mindful when converting a .40 S&W Glock to [Read More…]
Screws and firearms tend to not work well together. The constant vibrations in a EDC firearm and recoil are likely to cause threads to back-out, breaking the bond between the two mated objects. In the case of a trigger (like Lone Wolf’s UAT), having that screw [Read More…]
The Glock 19 is a pretty great pistol right out of the box. It is simple, relatively accurate, reliable, and reasonably priced. That being said, some improvements can be made. The triggers aren’t fantastic, the sights are pretty basic, and the barrels [Read More…]
Discharging a firearm underwater is loud – very loud. So when a group of divers and spear fisherman took to the waters off the west coast of Florida to do some “fishing”, they quickly decided that they were going to need some suppression to protect [Read More…]
The guys at Lone Wolf have come out with a conversion barrel that will allow you to shoot 9×18 Makarov out of a Glock 42! I had dismissed the Glock 42 since it shoots .380 but now that it can shoot 9×18 Makarov I am intrigued. The photo above a little [Read More…]
As most readers know, my chosen shooting platform is the Glock, Generation 4. Despite its continued commercial success, I swear that it still remains the step-child of the aftermarket, as nearly everyone only offers various components for the Generation 3 editions [Read More…]
For years, the firearms market was omitted from innovation in the multi-tool market. Leatherman and other companies pushed out huge varieties of consolidated pacakages which could be pressed into service for firearms owners, they were not ideal, lacking many of the [Read More…]
I got my hands on a Cosmic X Liberty suppressor from Silencer Shop to try out on my Glock 41 and Glock 21. I am using a Lone Wolf threaded barrel for my Glock 41 and Glock 21. As you can see from the photo above, the Cosmic is rather long. It is longer than […] [Read More…]
So, you have always wanted a suppressor but figured that they were too expensive or the paperwork wasn’t worth your time. Or, you never considered owning a silencer until your idiot brother-in-law spun that monster brake/compensator on his AR at the range last week. [Read More…]
After swapping out the horrible factory Glock sights the next mod most Glock owners usually do is a replacement trigger of some sort, that’s the route I did with my Glock 17. When you think of aftermarket Glock triggers on the market you usually think of Lone Wolf [Read More…]
I got a chance to play with the relatively new Griffin Armament Optimus silencer. It is modular so it can suppress .300 win mag all the way down to .22lr. Here is a list of acceptable calibers you can suppress with the Optimus .300 Win Mag .308 Win .300 BLK [Read More…]
Just three weeks after my interview the IOI, my FFL arrived! Its sending was completely unceremonious, using the FFL itself as the address for the envelope. I wasn’t expecting major fan-fare, but I would think the Government would at least include a cover letter [Read More…]
Another Glock trigger? Excellent. Variety is the spice of life. A Glock trigger designed by an Olympian and manufactured by only military vets? Now, I am keenly interested. Send one to me for review? Awww shucks… I am honored. Truly. Where Does this All Come From? [Read More…]
