Believe it or not, but we have been doing the Reader’s Choice Awards for an entire year with input from all of you! If it were not for our vocal readers like you reading this, this segment would not be the success it has been for the past 12 months! So for that, [Read More…]
For the month of May, we challenged our readers with the difficult to define category of the “BEST Compact Striker Fired Pistol” for the Reader’s Choice. We understand some of you disagreed with our definition of where the line should be drawn for a [Read More…]
With summer approaching that brings us warmer weather and new options to carry firearms! We might be rockin’ cargo shorts versus parkas, and we may be looking for smaller guns to be rockin’ as well. So as we begin May we have made it into our 7th edition of [Read More…]
We have journeyed all the way through winter, and made it into our 6th edition of the Reader’s Choice Awards! Normally we have a pretty specific topic we want you all to dive into, but for this month we are going to give you more liberty in your suggestions and [Read More…]
It is March, and we all know what that means… you need to grab a green beer, pretend to be Irish (if you already are not), turn on some March Madness college basketball, and get those taxes filed. To most of us, if you actually get money back from your taxes it is [Read More…]
Happy New Year’s to all of our readers! We are officially in 2019 and that means we are inching closer to SHOT Show everyday. While it is awesome to hear about all of the new firearms coming out every winter, it can be equally fun to posture what are the best ones [Read More…]

This month’s Reader’s Choice was a conducted a little differently. For our first attempt at this feature, you all suggested that we missed some. This time we allowed you to add choices in the comments and if there were enough upvotes, we added the firearm to [Read More…]
Right now its fall across the US where the leaves are changing colors, hunting seasons are beginning, and people are mongering over all foods infused with pumpkin spice. As many of us head out into the woods for the various hunting seasons, we at TFB wanted to propose a [Read More…]
Many of you called the winner in the comments… But what is interesting is that the Winchester SX4 Models far outsold the M4 Tactical, as did the Beretta A300 line. Not that we are remotely considering this process scientific. And I would wager that our readership [Read More…]
Most of the time we choose content based on a complex algorithm that involves consulting the stars, throwing chicken bones, and getting the editorial staff really inebriated. Rarely do we give you the ability to tell us what YOU think are good products. To [Read More…]
Last month, TFB published the “March Gatness” tournament – a readers’ choice bracket tournament to determine which rifle, revolver, and handgun is the best of the best (or at least the readers’ favorite). The winners will be featured in a TFBTV video. To vote, [Read More…]
For the month of October and our Reader’s Choice voting, we voted on the BEST Pump-Action Shotgun you could potentially have. For some of us, that open-ended statement might need to fill the need of hunting, home defense, competitive shooting, recreation or oddly [Read More…]
Can you smell that in the air? The crisp leaves of fall from turning a new season… people running around with their pumpkin spice drinks clutching them like it contains water from the Fountain of Youth… and soon we will be experiencing self-induced sugar [Read More…]
For the month of September and our Reader’s Choice voting, we voted on the BEST Aftermarket Trigger you could add to one of your firearms. This could have been anything from your handguns to your rifles to your shotguns. The most frequently upgraded firearm, in [Read More…]
We have made it all the way into the month of September for 2019! This officially marks our 11th edition of the Reader’s Choice Awards where we choose firearm and related accessory categories, and let you vote on the BEST ones in the industry. For September, our [Read More…]
For the month of August, we asked our readers the colossal question of what are some of the BEST Suppressors on the market today! Since that is such a blanket question when there are so many niche silencers out there, we divided the voting into 4 unique categories: [Read More…]
Welcome back to the Reader’s Choice, where we ask for your input on what are the BEST products in various categories surrounding the firearms industry, let you Vote, and then watch as chaos unfolds in the Comments section! With the beginning of a new month, we [Read More…]
For the month of July, we challenged our readers with the category of the “BEST PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine)” for the Reader’s Choice. The PCC market continues to grow exponentially and if you saw our recent coverage of TriggrCon 2019 that was more apparent than [Read More…]
We are in the heat of summer and most of our guns are equally hot, too! Hopefully, everyone is hitting the gun range and sending some lead down range. With the beginning of a new month, we have a new category for our Reader’s Choice Awards! For July, we are asking [Read More…]

There’s a lot you can tell about a person by their firearm choices. For example, if a guy carries an Interarms import Walther PPK or an H&K P7, he’s probably a well-heeled shooter and maybe a little of a Bond or Hans Gruber fan. If he carries a revolver, [Read More…]
We apologize for our tardiness in getting you the results for January’s poll. SHOT Show had us all run a little ragged and overwhelmed. This was a pretty fun one to debate though because the options and possibilities seem nearly endless! We also all have our own [Read More…]
When you think of the suppressor market, there are some manufacturer names that immediately come to mind. There usually aren’t too many surprises or obscure brands on “best of” or “reader’s choice” lists. The New Mexico-based CGS [Read More…]

Marlin has introduced a NEW version of their staple Model 336 lever-action rifle with a B-Grade Curly Maple stock and Fiddle Back figuring. This new rifle is not surprisingly chambered in the stalwart .30-30 Winchester cartridge. This rifle was announced back at the [Read More…]
