Review: Comp-Tac International Holster
When I was searching for a holster to fit my Arsenal Firearms Strike One in I was left with one option, the Texas-based holster company Comp-Tac. Since the holster was going to be used to shoot in competitions, I decided that the Comp-Tac International was probably the right holster for my needs. After placing the order, […]

OPINION: Are Bright Colored Gun Parts A Problem?
Last month I wrote a quick article about dyeing PMAGs with fabric dye and some of our readers went a bit nuts. A couple of the comments were downright crotchety claiming that a brightly colored magazine could get me killed but also make kittens go blind. I can’t say that I agree with them, I […]

Making the Beretta 92 Trigger Better – Simple Upgrades
Those who have served and carried an M9 often pick up the weapon outside of the service. Like many of my brethren, I am one of those who did perhaps for the nostalgia or familiarity with the weapon. Frankly, I like the M9, slide mounted safety be danged. But, one is not limited to keeping […]

Exclusive: World Record 4380 yard shot
Beware, this is not your average TFB article. This post is over 3,000 words long, but it is well worth the read if you care the slightest about long range shooting and the gear being used. Please take your time. I’m not a long range shooter (yet), but I got very involved by this story […]

As listed on the auction site Artcurial, thousands of military items, including tanks, vehicles, equipment and accessories will be liquidated as the museum closes due to lack of attendance.

Michigan 2016 SMG Action Match
This looks like a lot of fun. I have seen videos of matches at Knob Creek and it seemed like a waste to use a machine gun. Shooting a semi auto would actually be more accurate and faster than using a machine gun. However some of the stage design in this video lend themselves to […]

Summertime Fun: Slingshots
Slingshots aren’t exactly firearms. However, I consider them as being a “back-to-basics” when it comes to launching small projectiles at targets down range: a reminder of why some of us like to shoot. Being back home for part of the summer, my dad was nice enough to refurbish some 30+ year old slingshots that I […]

The SilencerCo Maxim 9 Edges Closer To Consumers
As a shooter/collector/appreciator of unique National Firearms Act (NFA) items, I have been anxiously awaiting any additional details on the SilencerCo Maxim 9 integrally suppressed semiautomatic pistol. When the Maxim was first announced last year, it was using Smith and Wesson M&P magazines and featured a 3D printed grip. Nearly 12 months later, the pre-production […]

Type 94 Nambu Field Strip
The Japanese Type 94 is a pistol that we have talked a lot about over the course of TFBTV, mainly because of how dangerous they are. The guns served Imperial Japan and were never imported into the US in large numbers, but many were brought back by returning GIs. In this episode of TFBTV, we […]

Subsonic .375 Socom … Silent but Deadly
Jeff over at BigShooterist built a suppressed SBR and chambered it in .375 Socom. .375 Socom is the brainchild of Tony at Tromix. You may know Tony’s work on the Siamese AR-15. Well the .375 Socom is a large caliber akin to the .450 and .50 caliber big bores where the casing is so large […]

A New Concealed Shelf Storage Solution For Long Guns
A couple of months back I did an install of a Tactical Walls RFID shelf (along with a write up). I have been pretty pleased with it and have not had any problems with it–I operate it at least twice a day (staging in the morning, and withdrawing at night). Well, Tactical Walls has now […]
