In this episode of TFBTV, Hop takes a look at the top-tier variant of the PSAK-47. The GF5 is the fifth generation of Palmetto State Armory’s PSAK rifle and adds more features on top of the GF3 and GF4, including a cold hammer forged barrel made specially for PSA by FN. Can an American company make an AK that competes with Combloc imports? Can the AK platform survive the cost increase of x39 ammo? Can we justify the existence of boutique AKs? Who knows!

In this episode of TFBTV, Luke C () dives into the Springfield Model 2020 Rimfire Target Rifle, chambered in 22LR.

Is this Glock’s best pistol ever? James thinks so. In this episode of TFBTV, James​⁠ is at Glock USA HQ in Smyrna for the reveal and review of the new Glock 49. The Glock 49 Gen 5 MOS 9mm is the newest addition to the Glock lineup. Officially released to the commercial market, the Glock 49 Gen 5 MOS combines the compact and concealable design of the Glock 19 with a full-sized Glock 17 slide and barrel, offering enhanced performance and a longer sight radius. This new model has been eagerly anticipated since leaks of the “19L” began to circulate. The G49 MOS, boasting a 15+1 round capacity, a 4.49-inch Glock Marksman Barrel, and the MOS system for optics, merges compact frame convenience with full-size functionality.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews the SIG Sauer P365 AXG Legion. In the world of micro-compact pistols, the SIG P365 has been a game-changer. Its thin, lightweight design and impressive capacity have made it a favorite among concealed carriers and everyday pistoleros alike. But what happens when you take the P365 to the top? Enter the SIG P365 AXG Legion.

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop visits CMMG to shoot the newest variant of the Dissent, and the newest variant of the Mk47. But it’s the same gun. The Mk47 “Mutant” is a beefed up AR chambered in 7.62x39mm that takes AK mags, and the Dissent is CMMG’s compact action recoil system that allows for the use of folding stocks. Put them together and you get an AR that shoots 7.62x39mm, takes AK mags, and has a folding stock. So does the AK even still need to exist?

Lone Wolf used to be the first name in the Glock pistol aftermarket, but they’ve been forced to shift focus after the ATF’s attempt to put an end to 80 percent lowers. In this episode of TFBTV, Hop checks out the new Dusk 19, a complete optics-ready, upgraded Glock clone from Lone Wolf.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves absolutely destroys a CZ-75 pistol. James has always considered the CZ-75 to be an overrated design, but after spending time with CZ-75 clones over the years, we at TFBTV have developed a respect for the design. But is it all it’s cracked up to be? We’ll see today on TFBTV.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the Surefire RC3. The Surefire RC/SOCOM series of suppressors is well known as being a favorite among special forces operators for excellent flash suppression, minimal point-of-aim/point-of-impact shift, and durability. Surefire is bringing this battle-proven line of silencers to the next level by introducing a redesigned successor, the RC3, which reduces backpressure by a whopping 60%. Check this video for all of the details.

TFBTV Show Time stopped by the Rock River Arms booth to check out this absolute monster of an AR from Rock River Arms, the LAR-BT6 chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum. Intended for those looking for bolt-action precision in a semi-auto package, the LAR-BT6 is supposed to be the perfect combination of both. This rifle is expected to start rolling out towards the end of Q4 2023 and should retail for about $5,500 according to the Rock River Arms website.

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop visited the SIG optics factory to watch the Romeo X red dot being assembled by a dystopian machine that hopefully won’t turn on us someday (but it probably will). These optics are the successor to the Romeo Elite and Elite Zero, which had polymer bodies and really annoying buttons. The Romeo X is a step in the right direction, but is it too late to catch up with Holosun?

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop checks out Anderson’s new retro A4 style Dissipator rifle. The word Dissipator means different things to different people, but the Anderson take has a “proper” rifle-length gas system on a carbine-length barrel, mated to an M16 style lower. The end result is something unlike you’ve probably ever shot before.

In this cope-filled episode of TFBTV, James Reeves tells you why the H&K G36K is perhaps his favorite – and the most underrated – German rifle. The H&K G36K in this video is a 5.56x45mm NATO rifle that was first introduced in 1995. It is a more compact and lighter-weight version of the H&K G36, and it is currently in use by the armed forces of Germany, Spain, and several other countries. Despite its widespread use, the H&K G36K is often overlooked and underrated. This is due in part to its relatively short service history, cost, as well as some perceived accuracy issues. However, the G36K is a very capable weapon system that offers a number of advantages over its competitors. We talk about the G36K – and how to find one if you really – really – want it.

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?

James Reeves asks: Is the Mini-14 obsolete? The Ruger Mini-14 was introduced FIFTY years ago by Ruger. Developed by Bill Ruger and Jim Sullivan, two of the engineering greats, the Ruger Mini-14 was a so-so rifle when it was invented, and most people believe that it lagged behind as the AR-15 caught on with civilian shooters. But many of you don’t know that there have been multiple changes to the Mini-14 – BIG changes – that have increased its effectiveness. But in this day and age dominated by AR, is the Mini-14 still practical to own? We look at reliability, durability, accuracy, and more in today’s video.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves visits Twista to talk about what a high-profile rapper carries every day in Chicago. Twista’s not your typical hip-hop artist, though: He’s a licensed concealed handgun instructor and competition shooter in addition to being one of the best to ever do it in the rap game. So what does the OG EDC? Check today’s video to find out.
