The 5 Worst First Pistols to Buy: A quick, blunt, and useful guide for new shooters who want to avoid the common first-gun mistakes. I break down the five categories of handguns you should skip as a beginner, explain why they wreck fundamentals and confidence, and show better alternatives like a quality 9mm, a dedicated .45 Colt revolver if you insist, or a fun .22LR. Whether you are buying your first handgun for the range, home defense, or concealed carry this video will save you time and money and point you to sensible first-gun choices.

KelTec’s PR-5.7 is one of the strangest and most practical new pistols to hit the market this year. It is a clip-fed, top-loading 5.7x28 that skips interchangeable magazines entirely, which lets it stay thin, light, and high capacity. On paper, it reads like a carry cheat code. In hand, it feels even weirder, and that is a compliment.

Thinking about picking up an AK, but not sure which caliber to choose? In this video, we’re at the WBP factory in Poland to get real answers from the people building these rifles. From 7.62x39 to 5.45x39 and even 5.56/.223, we dig into the pros and cons of each option with WBP CEO Stefan—covering everything from accuracy, reliability, barrel length, suppression, and of course, ammo availability.

What’s the best self-defense handgun for beginners? If you’re a first-time gun buyer in 2025, there’s a lot of advice out there, but not a lot of thorough explanation. Do you really need a safety? Is striker-fired always better than hammer-fired? What about grip size, trigger weight, or all those acronyms people throw around like you’re supposed to understand them? In our latest video, we take an honest look at the best handguns for beginners—not just the “top five” guns on the market, but the actual characteristics that make a pistol beginner-friendly (or not). More importantly, we talk about the mistakes a lot of new shooters make when choosing their first gun.

If you spend enough time shopping for a civilian AK, you’ll keep running into one name: WBP. The Polish manufacturer has built a reputation over the last decade for making rifles that look and feel like the military classics, but with the fit, finish, and reliability that modern shooters expect. If you had walked into WBP’s shop in Rogów, Poland, a couple of decades ago, you wouldn’t have seen rifles. You’d have seen ironing boards and parade sabers. That’s where the company started. But over time, WBP shifted gears—first into defense manufacturing, then into building some of the most respected civilian AK-pattern rifles on the market.

James Reeves screwed up. After releasing the list of the Top 10 Guns of the Last 10 Years on TFBTV, he couldn’t stop thinking about the ones left out—guns that maybe should have been on the list in the first place. Call it post-cut clarity. From the Steyr AUG (how the hell did he miss that?) to the Beretta 84 BB and even the Zastava AKs, this video is a sad apology tour. These are the runners-up, the honorable mentions, and in some cases, the guns James loves more than the ones that actually made the cut. Let’s set the record straight.

In Part 2 of our Top 10 Guns of All Time on TFBTV, we're diving into the deep cuts — the weird, underrated, and wildly impactful firearms that shaped this channel over the last decade. These aren’t your average "Top 5" guns. These are the ones that helped build TFBTV's identity.

After 10 years and hundreds of gun reviews, we’re finally doing it — a definitive list of the top 10 guns we’ve ever reviewed on TFBTV. In Part 1 of this three-part series, James covers the five guns that aren’t just fan favorites — they’re legends. These are the firearms that changed the game and left a lasting mark on both TFBTV and the gun world.

Photo Of The Day from EnforceTac 2025, where we get a closer look at James Reeves and the TFBTV crew as they examine the H&K MR308A6 model. The G210 is a short-range sniper rifle chambered in the well-known and proven 7.62×51mm caliber. Up to 500 units are scheduled for delivery to the German Army’s special forces in 2025. It’s not often we get a behind-the-scenes of the TFBTV crew, but I was there and snapped a few photos.

It’s 1911 vs. Glock (again) on TFBTV, but this one is EXTREME. In this episode, James Reeves  is with Martin of ​⁠  @austriaarms2501  and the two gents run over a Glock 17 and a Springfield 1911 with a Ford Raptor, chuck them down the Halevi Partners shooting range in a frisbee test, and then drag them behind a Polaris MRZR before throwing them off of a 20-story building in Episode II. Place your bets, who wins? Or does everyone lose?

Shotguns vs. AR-15s? The debate rages on, and James Reeves will dive right into it with a balanced look at both firearms. While the AR-15 has edged out the shotgun in most cases, there are still a few things a shotgun can do that an AR just can’t. From recoil, capacity, and range to modularity, tactical reloads, and *anime-themed* add-ons, I break down why many have shifted to ARs—and where shotguns still hold their ground. No sticker-on-the-truck loyalty here, just a practical view for anyone who’s ever wondered if one platform could truly replace the other. Let’s dig into the pros and cons with a healthy dose of humor and some real talk about shooting hardware.

In this video, James Reeves teams up with Print Shoot Repeat  @PrintShootRepeat  to dive into the world of 3DP. We count down his top 5 picks, and I give my take on just how practical and functional these guns are. From durability to ease of use, we break down the pros and cons of each design. Let us know which one surprised you the most!

In this video, James Reeves interviews Karl with CZ about the new CZ Shadow 2 Target. The Shadow 2 Target is a derivative of the CZ Shadow 2 that is specifically designed for bullseye shooting. It features a number of changes over the standard Shadow 2, including modifications to the slide, barrel, and a tunable trigger.

In this detailed review, we take a closer look at the IWI Masada Slim, a concealed carry gun that’s flying under the radar in 2024. How does it stack up against the popular Glock 43X and Sig P365 XL? We break down its performance on the range, reliability, and unique features like the compatibility with aftermarket upgrades such as the Mischief Machine frame and Holosun 407k optics. Find out if the Masada Slim is the best concealed carry option for you.

Two cameramen. One epic showdown. In this video, TFBTV’s Ryan goes head-to-head in a shooting competition against Classic Firearms’ cameraman, also named Ryan. The stakes couldn’t be higher—the loser’s YouTube channel has to post an ad for the winner’s channel. Who will emerge victorious, and who will be left promoting their rival? Tune in to see the ultimate cameraman clash, with plenty of laughs, competition, and some surprising results!
