#IWA2022

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves takes you on a personal tour of IWA 2022 and he brings you to the 5 best booths of the show from some of your favorite manufacturers at this massive German gun show.

It is the annual tradition of the Krieghoff company to produce one of their guns as a particularly
artistic masterpiece and to present it to the world as “ Gun of the Year“. “For us, it’s primarily about showing the skills and passion of our craftsmen and also what manual work is able to achieve.” Mr. Krieghoff himself explained the meaning behind this project. “It represents the opportunity to work without the normal limitations that artists usually have. The engraving alone takes months, but the stock and barrel also require great skill.”

As it is known, Anschütz completely scooped gold at the Olympics this year; all gold medals
in biathlon were won with weapons from the company. A performance that caused quite a stir
and led to a closer look at the guns used. Although with a market share of 97%, this result is
more expected than miraculous.

Chiappa Firearms from Italy showed at IWA 2022 a new line of Italian-made, full-size 1911 models. These will soon be available in 2 finishes and 3 levels, for a total of five different configurations.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is ranking the 5 best long guns, rifles, and shotguns displayed at the SHOT Show of Europe – IWA 2022. See what new long guns are coming to the market from European manufacturers this year.

Revo Arms, from Italy, is a new player in the firearm manufacturing world, and in IWA they debuted their first product: the IS-9 striker-fired pistol. The polymer-framed handgun offers a good deal of desirable features and it follows the European trend of targeting a low bore axis for improved muzzle rise control.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is visiting Nuremberg, Germany to attend IWA Outdoor Classics, a huge outdoor and firearms expo that’s basically the European SHOT Show. There were lots of cool handguns and rifles, many of which you can’t get in the United States (at least *yet*). In this video we are taking a look at the top 5 handguns from IWA Outdoor Classics.

The popular Grand Power Stribog is…popular. It’s had several updates over the years but perhaps none so significant as this: Glock magazine compatibility. James Reeves got to check out the Glock mag compatible version at IWA 2022, and he brings the info to you.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at IWA 2022 visiting with IWI to talk about the IWI Jericho II, IWI’s update to its legendary Israeli classic service pistol.

After almost no traveling for about two years, I was really looking forward to this year’s edition of Enforce Tac and IWA OutdoorClassics 2022 in Nürnberg, Germany. Enforce Tac is a two-day trade fair for security agencies, where only law enforcement and military personnel are allowed. It’s here where you’ll find fully automatic firearms and similar “items”. Compared to IWA, it is a much smaller exhibition, and much more specialized.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at IWA 2022 at the Spohr booth speaking with Thomas Spohr, the founder of Spohr revolvers.

These are top-of-the-line, premium German handguns, and Mr. Spohr tells us what makes them special in this edition of TFBTV’s IWA coverage.
