Mon, 10/08/2018 - 12:00

Wyoming has been doing a tremendous job in recent years by bringing more and more firearm companies to their state.

TFB LONG TERM REVIEW: Gatorz Eyewear Magnum Z87+

Mon, 10/08/2018 - 08:00

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.

Sun, 10/07/2018 - 19:32

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 […]

Plastic fantastic by all means, but there’s something special with products made out of natural leather, by hand.

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 […]
