POTD: Cutaway Osprey45 & Glock 20
A friend of mine shared this photo he found on Reddit. It is a SilencerCo Osprey 45 on a 10mm Glock 20. Both have had sections removed to expose the details underneath. I have seen cutaway Glocks but not a 10mm Glock 20 version before. After a little research, this Glock 20 Cutaway and Osprey45 […]

Kelbly’s Rifles – World Class Precision | SHOT 2017
One of my goals for the 2017 SHOT Show was to meet up with some of the most innovative and forward thinking individuals in the firearms industry. Being the silencer nut that I am, at the top of my list was Delta P Design, known mostly for their Brevis line of 3-D printed suppressors. Luckily […]

The LAPA FA Modelo 3 bullpup rifle: Guns of Nelmo Suzano
Late in 1978, Nelmo Suzano started work in the development of a 5.56x45mm assault rifle in the bullpup configuration, a long-time idea that had flashed on-and-off in his mind. Sure, the British EM1 and EM2 of the 1950s may have sparked the fire, more so in the mid-1970s when the so-called E.W.S. (Enfield Weapon System), […]

Galloway Precision – Red Dot All The Things | SHOT 2017
I came across Eric’s work when I discovered he melts a red dot onto a Sig P938 slide. So I caught up with Eric at Shot Show 2017. Eric’s favorite micro red dot sight is the JPoint. I have one on my S&W M&P9 but never saw its potential until I saw what Eric does […]

Excel Arms 5.7x28mm Rifle | SHOT 2017
Another interesting find down in the depths of the lower floor of Shot Show 2017 is Excel Arms. They make a line of firearms chambered in .22LR, .22WMR and now 5.7x28mm. It uses the Five Seven pistol magazine to feed the blow back system. As you can see below the system is somewhat modular and […]

Raytheon PIKE: Miniaturized Laser Guided Weapon
I am not sure what is more surreal – the fact that we now have a laser guided missile that can can be fired from a standard 40mm grenade launcher, or the fact that Raytheon used clean 20-somethings in polo shirts and safety glasses to demo a guided explosive device. Either way, this was a […]

REBUTTAL: Washington Post On Suppressors
Robert J. Spitzer, author of Guns Across America, penned an opinion piece about silencers in the Washington Post this week. Like much of what we are accustomed to reading about firearms in today’s media, Spitzer is disingenuous in his arguments against the Hearing Protection Act (HPA) – a bill that proposes suppressors be removed from […]

HK MP7 in Pagani Zonda at F1 Bahrain
These pictures (below) are almost 10 years old, but I hope the readers of this blog can help me figure out if the Heckler & Koch MP7 was real or fake. The background is, I was in Bahrain to see the new Ruf Automobile (Porsche tuner) factory and their new model CTR 3. The Bahrain […]

POTD: History Lesson
Thanks to Adam S. for sharing this. A customer stopped into my store and said he had a gun that he was having some problems. I told him to bring it on in. He returns from his vehicle and opens a dirty, unassuming case and this was inside. My eyes immediately got huge! He said […]

GSG’s 9mm MP40 Lookalike, Optics-Ready GSG-16 | SHOT 17
If you are a fan of the World War II German MP40 submachine gun and want to have one of your very own, you are pretty much out of luck unless you are willing to shell out tens of thousands of dollars for a transferable original. However, it has been possible to buy “trainer” replicas in .22 […]

Awesome 360 Photo Of Springfield Armory At Industry Day At The Range | SHOT 2017
My friend James the XD Man sent me this photo of the Springfield Armory lane at Industry Day at the Range taken with his Theta 360 camera. I thought the photo was far too cool to not share with all of you in a post, I hope we see more of these 360 cameras in […]

TANDEMKROSS .22LR Upgrades | SHOT 2017
A few months back, I had the opportunity to dig into the backstory of TANDEMKROSS – an unassuming New Hampshire based company that focuses on squeezing performance out of rimfire pistols. And with the recent edition of the Ruger MKIV, the S&W Victory and others, business at TK has been swift. In fact, the company […]

America Grip Rail Mounted Tool Kit | SHOT 2017
At the Breakthrough Clean Technologies booth, they had a AR on display with some odd looking rail covers. The rail covers are made by America Grip. The rail covers have 1/4 hex bit holes to store hex bit tools. The cover panels are simply snapped onto the rails for storage. You remove them and sandwich […]

SERBU Firearms | SHOT 2017
Patrick and the TFBTV team covered the Serbu gang at SHOT, but I wanted to stop by and see the GB-22 for myself. As previously explained, the “GB” in GB-22 stands for Gun Buyback – this is Serbu’s attempt to flood useless gun turn-in programs that some cities and towns have spun up in an […]
