Each pistol comes equipped with a 17-round magazine, ensuring reliability and performance. For an in-depth look at these exceptional sport pistols, watch this video.

James Reeves is with Ziga of Polenar Tactical to talk about the Tinck Perun X-17. The Tinck Arms Perun X-17 is a versatile and innovative .308 caliber semi-automatic rifle that blends the reliability and ease of maintenance of a patented operating system with the robustness of the AR-10 platform. The Perun X-17 caters to a broad spectrum of shooting disciplines, from sports and hobby shooting to military and law enforcement applications.

James Reeves visits Ceonic to discuss the ACP 380, a caliber-changeable pistol that can swap from .380 ACP to .32 ACP by swapping a barrel and magazine only. It’s a super-small, micro-compact that’s good for concealed carry if you want something smaller than 9mm.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at IWA 2024 to talk to Tomas Spohr about his high-quality revolvers, in particular the NEW N-frame-sized .44 Magnum and .22 LR revolvers he is producing in 2024. Spohr makes incredibly high-quality revolvers with no MIM parts, and they are coming to the US this year.

At IWA 2024, James Reeves stops by the Grand Power booth to check out the new P24. This striker-fired pistol boasts a slim profile, ambidextrous controls, and is red-dot ready. With features like interchangeable backstraps and compatibility with Glock magazines, the P24 is designed for versatility and performance. Explore the innovation behind the P24 and its variant, the LP24, with their advanced safety and locking systems, in our latest video from the Grand Power showcase.

James Reeves is at IWA 2024 talking to Turkish manufacturer Akdas about their SAM carbine. The SAM is a Turkish short stroke piston operated carbine that is similar to the SIG MCX in that they use similar operating systems, AR-type magazines, similar stock options that interface to a 1913 receiver attachment point, hardened steel replaceable wear points in the receiver, and easy-to-change rail system that interfaces with the upper receiver. While it lacks the SIG MCX’s adjustable gas system, caliber support, and easy-to-swap barrels (not to mention the SIG prestige and the military contracts attached to the MCX at the highest levels of SOCOM), this is still an interesting take on a next-gen combat carbine from a country known to be capable of producing quality budget firearms.

Savage Arms is typically associated with high-quality but economically priced hunting rifles but at IWA 2024, they are unveiling a high-end collaborative ultra-lightweight rifle with participation from Proof Research and MDT. The rifle will use an MDT chassis with carbon fiber elements and a folding stock, a Proof Research carbon fiber-wrapped barrel, and Savage’s excellent trigger. It’s hard to believe that Savage is getting on board with high-end players like MDT and Proof, but it’s a welcome surprise, to be sure.

James Reeves is at Panzer Arms’ booth at IWA 2024 to look at the shortest mag-fed shotgun he’s seen in a while: The Panzer Arms Super Short SS12.

It’s also magazine-fed and has a few other tricks up its super short sleeves.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is with CZ Pro Shooter Eric Grauffel at the CZ booth in IWA. James was lucky enough to get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at CZ’s new top-tier carry gun, the CZ Shadow 2 Compact. The CZ Shadow 2 Compact is totally different and totally the same at once. It uses a shorter barrel and smaller, lighter, aluminum frame to make a smaller and concealable package while retaining all of the benefits of the CZ Shadow 2 itself, like an excellent trigger, optics readiness, great sights, and the performance and reliability CZ Shadow owners are used to. What do you think of this new pistol?
