SAUER USA ‘Titanium Pro’ Silencer
Sauer USA is teasing the release of their ‘Titanium Pro’ silencer. Dubbed “The Quiet One” it features an aluminum outer tube that unscrews in the middle for cleaning and maintenance. The baffle stack, in reality a monocore design, is made out of titanium. If I’m reading the specifications correctly, there will be three caliber-dependent variations: […]

Gun Review: FN SLP Competition Shotgun
Since FN was already sending us a 3-Gun focused rifle, it seemed only natural they would send along their SLP Competition 12-Gauge shotgun. I would have liked to run the two guns together in a 3-Gun match, but weather and my schedule prohibited it. That said, we did manage a thorough test of the SLP […]

Since then the auction appears to have been completed, and the assets of the once mighty importer of interesting rifles have been distributed to several dealers. Searching through Gunbroker I have come across several […]

TFB Review: Tactical Solutions’ X-ring SB-X Barrel for 10/22
The Ruger 10/22, by dint of its modular construction, it quite easy to modify. Trigger packs, bolts, receivers, stocks and barrels are easy to change out for many purposes. Many people enjoy shooting them suppressed. Though eye and ear protection should be worn at all times on a public range, plinking in your back 40 or […]

POTD: PIXAR CARS 2 Hidden Gun Reference
I was re-watching Pixar’s Cars 2 the other night. I never noticed this before but there is a gun reference in that movie. The character Rod Torque Redline is an American Spy who infiltrated a secret organization. The bad guys have roughed him up a bit and like in a Bond film, submitted him to […]

Gun Review: Glock 19 Gen4
The Glock 17 and 19 has been the gold standard for combat handguns since shortly after its introduction to the US market in 1988. Some of you 1911 guys out there are going to dispute that, but the widespread adoption and high sales numbers of the compact 9mm tells a very clear story, the Glock […]

AR-15 Jammed By Bee
We have all been out at the range enjoying a nice afternoon with our AR-15 when BAM, your rifle jams. Most of the time these malfunctions are pretty standard, but Youtube user AregularGuy experienced a malfunction caused by an entirely unexpected source. A bee. While at a training class the shooter encountered a wandering bee that […]

Davinci Arms Bambino .22 Silencer
There is a reason that first-time suppressor buyers get advised to buy a rimfire model in front of other calibers. With the right ammo, a good .22LR silencer can make you feel like a silent shooter from the movies. It is also the first time that you will realize how much fun shooting can be when […]

Optic Review: Primary Arms Advanced Series Red-Dot Sight
Primary Arms, a popular online retailer of optics and gun accessories, introduced their own line of affordable optics a few years back. The Advanced Series is their full-size red-dot sight models. The OEM of the optic is actually Holosun and it’s made in China. Some the features that caught my attention about this Primary […]

REVIEW: LaserMax Spartan Light/Laser Combo
Think back to the first time you saw a weapon-mounted laser in a movie. For me, it was Terminator, when Arnold Schwarzenegger cut through a smokey room with a red beam of death. That massive device shined dimly even at short distances and probably had a sub 10 minute battery-life. Thrity years later we have […]

In a surprising move, Sig Sauer has quietly discontinued their formal shooting team. Disbanded about a week ago, the “Grey Shirts” team was notified privately and word got out through various social media outlets including a rather moving post by one Eric Wise: I just wanted to say how disappointed I was to hear tonight […]

PREVIEW: The New B&T APC308
The good people at G&R Tactical just released a few pictures and details on the yet-to-be-announced Brugger and Thommet (B&T) APC308 rifle. On initial inspection, the APC308 seems to be a mirror image of the APC556/APC223 rifle, except for the .308 chambering. For those unfamiliar with B&T, they produce some of the nicest pistol caliber carbines […]

USMC Tests 3-D Printed Projectiles
As I wait for a ATF Form 3 to clear on the Delta P Design Brevis 3-D printed suppressor that I will review here at TFB, I came across a story on Military.com that piqued my interest. “Additive Manufacturing” commonly referred to as 3-D printing, is the process of precisely adding material(s) using a computer controlled […]

Honor Defense Adds the “Long Slide” Pistol
I never understood why sub-compact handguns have been typically extreme short-barrels. In fact, its my major complaint on my Glock 43. To me, the point of a sub-compact is to reduce the size of the grip, not the slide. The slide is typically been the easiest part to conceal and a longer slide also provides […]

Magpul Shows D60 Magazine Pouch
For those looking to carry a D60 magazine pouch on their web gear, options have typically been limited. One can go over-sized and opt for a SAW Magazine pouch or try and fit it into a number of “general purpose” pouches which typically have a zipper top. Neither was ideal. Magpul has stepped up and […]
