TFBTV: Farewell Alex, We Wish You the Best
It is with incredible sadness we have to say farewell to Alex C. Alex is a man of many passions, one of which is automobiles, which he wants to pursue in a much greater way than his involvement with TFB has allowed. We wish him the best of luck and thank him for all his […]

New Wilson Combat X-TAC Elite Carry Comp
Looking back over posts we have made about Wilson Combat introducing new products it sure seems that they are bringing new things out faster than they can sell them! Truth of the matter is that they are probably selling everything they make and hardly able to keep up with demand. After all, that is the […]

CAA New Micro RONI
CAA brought out 3D printed prototypes of the Micro RONI at last Big 3 East. Just recently, CAA posted up this commercial for their Micro Roni. From the video it looks like it is much easier to install a Glock pistol. Instead of opening an entire side of the Roni, you just lower a trap […]

POTD: CZ Shadow 2 in action
TFB has reported about the brand new CZ Shadow 2 both once and twice before. The first time when it was released to the press and later when it was released at IWA in Germany 2016. Here it can be seen in action at a recent IPSC Handgun match in Sweden, ONYX 2016. I managed […]

Upgraded NYPD In Times Square
Whenever I travel somewhere, I have a tendency to notice armed police/security. Especially when they are carrying rifles. Just one week after the Chelsea bombing in NYC, my wife and I took our 4 month old to visit NYC. It was a bit of a risk since I could not legally carry in NYC, but […]

Bullpup 2016: News from Faxon Firearms
Faxon Firearms had several new items and a number of older ones to showcase at Bullpup 2016 this year. Most people probably know of Faxon for their ARAK rifle, a combination of AR15 and Kalashnikov platform designs but Faxon probably does more business with making barrels and AR15 parts than experimenting with new weapon systems. […]

POTD: Magpul DAKA Suppressor Pouches
My friend at MAGPUL posted this picture up. It is a new style of DAKA pouch specifically for suppressors. No word on when they will be available but I suspect they will be soon since it is a simple affair to cut them and weld them.

XS Sights Takes Us On A Factory Tour
We have covered XS Sights‘ products here on TFB several times, never failing to be impressed with the level of attention, quality, and thought that goes into each sight. Not long ago I reviewed the Big Dot sights on the Sig P320 as well as on the Glock 43; you can read my review of […]

Review: CAA Roni Civilian Pistol Carbine Conversion | Non-NFA
CAA has recently expanded their RONI line with a new non-NFA option for those that want a proper stock but refuse to file a stamp. Recently I reviewed the Lock, Stock, and Barrel carbine conversion and found it lacking in a few areas, based on a cursory look at the RONI chassis I feel like […]

Interview with Tamir Porat: Designer Behind the Tavor
This interview is a great example of why I both love and hate Shot Show. You get to meet people from the firearms industry who travel across the globe to be there. But it’s also a crowded, noisy event without much for sit down and chat space. So please accept my apologies for the sound […]

USPTO: FN Silencers, QD Pistol System And More
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) contains a searchable database of both patents and patent applications. While strolling through the system doing researching for a future TFB piece, I came across some interesting suppressor-related finds. Some of the applications are recent and others are a few years old, but either way, it is an […]

POTD: 7,5″ AR-15 300 Blackout
Today’s photo is a 7.5″ 300 Blackout. AR-15 format, but Low Visibility Gear and a lot of fun to shoot. AAC’s “Honey Badger” did play a part as a role model for this rifle (it’s not a “pistol”), and there’s a B&T suppressor somewhere hidden outside the picture (not using the Surefire, but normal threading). […]

Bullpup 2016: Circle 10 AK Developments
Circle 10 AK is a small company based in northern Illinois that designs and manufactures niche products for the Kalashnikov platform in the United States. They have been relatively successful as a reliable company that commits to selling AK accessories at a good price, and coming up with a few innovative ideas of their own. […]

Bullpup 2016: Vadum Electronic eBP-22 Bullpup
We covered the Vadum electronic .22 LR several months ago with a comprehensive review on TFB (very solid review by Tom R). Since then, the Vadum team has been working away at the design, and had it not only on display at Bullpup 2016 but also available for live fire down at the demo ranges. So […]

H&K VP9 Tactical Video
Jim of Burst Review got his hands on the new H&K VP9 Tactical. The VP9 Tactical now comes with a threaded barrel. Unfortunately it is only available in black. I would like to see their FDE version come with a threaded barrel.

85% Sized 1911-380 Expands SKU Line-Up
I was and am still a fan of the Browning 1911-380, the “Right Size” handgun. In my review previously of their “Black Label” version, I found it to indeed by right-sized. The smaller sized, coupled with the .380 caliber made it a great option for 1911 fans the world over to actually concealed carry the […]

NEW Authentic Molot Factory AKs From K-VAR
Admitidlty, I am just now returning from a five-year hiatus away from the AK world, but I still think this is awesome news. K-Var is now selling AK-47 patterned rifles built at the Molot factory in Russia. Obviously due to legal issues, these rifles can’t be imported as pictured – they most likely came in […]
