Many people cringe when they hear the term “universal holster”. I understand why, and frankly, for years I had exactly the same opinion. I thought that the holster is either good or universal, but never both. And turns out I was completely wrong. As with [Read More…]
In a bit of a break from my usual writing (covering ongoing court cases and weekly deals posts for the most part) today I’m tackling something a little different. I’m going to explain my choice of a first handgun, a VP9SK. Why not a Glock? Let’s start [Read More…]
Early last year we came across Chromatra’s ColorTac CVA-14 at SHOT Show. The technology was intriguing. Color analog night vision seems like a myth. But The ColorTac CVA-14 can add color to regular analog night vision. Let’s take a closer look to see what [Read More…]
So, I’ve had a fair bit of questions about what firearm I would carry if given the chance between the regular P365 and the P365 XL. Don’t worry you’ll get a definitive answer on that question later on, but I had to include the X-Compact as a twist [Read More…]

One company I was not expecting to be at TriggrCon 2019 was LIT Laser. LIT Laser is not a firearm company but many people use their fiber lasers for firearm marking. For those not familiar with the different laser engravers out there, there are two common types. CO2 or [Read More…]
As TriggrCon 2019 was winding down on its last day, I came across Night Fision. For those who are unaware, Night Fision comes from… Night Vision + Nuclear Fission = Night Fision. They bring over 25 years of manufacturing experience with Tritium to the firearms [Read More…]

At a SilencerCo media event, SilencerCo unveiled some new products. One of them is a non-NFA Maxim 9. It was developed a while ago but kept under wraps until now. I got a chance to check it out so let us take a closer look. As you can see in the photo above, the slide [Read More…]
The Inforce pistol lights have caught a bad reputation in the last few years from people running and having them quit working either due to the activation switches failing or electrical issues. The first generations of lights were known to have issues but now the APL [Read More…]
If there is one sure thing you could say about the firearms community it is that we love our guns and we equally love to customize them with accessories. One new accessory is a laser to hit the market from LaserMax, the Lightning, that can fit most any handgun. The [Read More…]
Great, a Best Revolver article written by a guy who believes a defensive handgun should be a semiautomatic and be made of polymer. You can go ahead and stop reading now. All kidding aside, my advice to everyone looking for a defensive weapon is buy something that works [Read More…]
When I started concealed carrying I thought most people carry in their home as well as in public. After working in the industry and talking to a ton of everyday people who carry, I’m honestly shocked at how many people decide not to carry in the home. The most [Read More…]

Many of you may not know it, but I love to saltwater fish in Florida. I try to go 4-5 times a year with my dad fishing around Tampa Bay or the Gulf of Mexico. There’s nothing more relaxing than dropping the boat off the lift and heading out for a day of sunshine [Read More…]
Shooting for the peak A term we often bandy about here at TFB is “peak handgun”, also known as the Glock 19. It is the ubiquitous, somewhat unavoidable baseline of a compact, striker fired pistol. Other handguns in this category, especially new ones, [Read More…]
In the early 90s, the gun world was about as stable as dating a dancer named Tiffany you met at the gentleman’s club on a Tuesday night. In short, it was a roller coaster time for the industry and times were slowly changing. Colt was trying to keep up with the [Read More…]
When picking magazines, it doesn’t always seem like an important piece of the puzzle and most people just buy a few to have back up magazines for their gun either at the range or at home. Now I know this isn’t everyone but some people think of magazines as [Read More…]

Did you ever read about “Boaty McBoatface”? Facially, it’s a true news story. The gist; in 2016, the Brits polled the internet for assistance in naming a new research ship. Certainly, this seemed like a good idea at the time – using democracy to come up with a [Read More…]
When I was younger, I heard a ton of different negative arguments about carrying a handgun inside your pocket. I decided to start pocket carrying about eight years ago and I’ve definitely have learned things along the way. Pocket carrying is like anything else and [Read More…]
