[SHOT 2018] Range Day – Hands On With The Mossberg 590M
How many times can the 100+ year old pump action shotgun design be refined to keep shooters interested? Who knows, but it is pretty clear that we have yet to see any signs of hitting a wall. On its surface, the Mossberg 590M simply looks like a modified tube fed shotgun that accepts magazines, much […]

Beretta brought out their 1301 Tactical but this time it comes in FDE and they have made some small changes to it. Check out Nathan S. review of the original 1301 Tactical to familiarize yourself.

[SHOT 2018] Angel Armor Two Piece Body Armor
After reviewing the DFNDR UHMWPE body armor, I have a new found interest in similar polyethylene based armor. Angel Armor was at Range Day in the section off to the side of the main entrance. Their armor design caught my eye. The feature that stood out was the two pieces held together by magnets. I […]

[SHOT 2018] It Does Exist! The CMMG MK4 DTR2 .224 Valkyrie
For a while, so much hype had been built around the arrival of the .224 Valkyrie that I was beginning to think that I’d be forced to lump it in with unicorns and the Tooth Fairy. …Until I stopped by the CMMG booth today during SHOT’s Industry Day at the Range and my new friend […]

In this episode of TFBTV, James discusses the top 5 guns that 2017 brought us. 2017 was a generally flat year for new product introductions.

I have so many questions, so few answers, about this product. -“I have a really expensive metal 3D Printer, […]

It’s almost industry protocol nowadays to leak, if not publicly announce, your new wares before letting the media and public fondle them at SHOT. In a very non-theatrical manner, Taurus announced today that they will have […]
