TFB LONG TERM REVIEW: Gatorz Eyewear Magnum Z87+
If there is one firearms safety aspect I am fanatical about (outside of the four golden rules) it has to be the use of proper eye protection. Watching Instagram or YouTube videos of hard-chargers banging steel with no eye coverage is a heading-shaking personal choice, I guess. But watching kids learning to shoot with no […]

Concealed Carry Corner: Why I Carry a Revolver. Sometimes.
Frankly, I don’t know. It doesn’t even make sense, but I find myself carrying a 5-shot Ruger LCRx revolver more often than I thought I would (my review on the LCRx is below). The best part about it is that Ruger didn’t even send me this gun – I bought it from an online gun […]

A very nice holster for the CZ Shadow 2
Plastic fantastic by all means, but there’s something special with products made out of natural leather, by hand. I noticed this fantastic holster in a Facebook group and asked the owner for permission to use the pictures as well as ask him for a few details. I can honestly say I am stunned by the […]

POTD: Savage Arms’ M1907 Pistol that Almost DEFEATED the 1911
It might be quite a surprise to many of you that Savage Arms used to make pistols. This dates back to 1910, but it is true. What also may surprise you is their short stint in producing pistols almost dethroned John Moses Browning’s now legendary Model 1911! The first pistol Savage Arms ever made was […]

BREAKING: US Army to REBOOT Next Generation Squad Weapons Program?
The NGSAR is dead, long live the NGSW.

Bridging the Gap: NEW Samson Manufacturing AK Thread Adapter
A gripe a lot of AK owners have is not being able to easily suppress their boomsticks. With unique left-hand thread pitches, most of us in the US are short on resources to change out muzzle devices. It makes sense that many AK platforms have muzzles like this since they do hail from Europe though. […]
