The French Union Pistol With Forgotten Weapons
Ian of Forgotten Weapons has certainly come up with some unique firearms, but this is the first time I’ve seen a magazine I simply could not pass by. In this review he goes over a French-made Union pistol, which was apparently a full-auto gun – with a horseshoe-shaped magazine. Yes, really. There’s not much to […]

Run. Hide. Fight. PSA on Surviving Active Shooter Scenario by City of Houston
Mass shootings are incredibly rare, if caught in one, they are an incredibly dangerous scenario. While many TFB users may be tempted to use their concealed firearm, the most obvious course of action to survive is NOT to engage the active shooter (they can shoot back). Surprisingly, the City of Houston (go Texas!) put together […]

POTD: Takedown H&K PSG-1

CZ P-09 and Discovery Channel
This video is intriguing. It is like a roller coaster. It has interesting sections where it shows some of the manufacturing processes that Česká zbrojovka does to make the P-09 pistol. But then it plummets with silly segments and information. I question the people who made this video. There are assertions made and a segue […]

Beretta M9A3 now shipping
Beretta has finally released the product details and has started shipping M9A3s for the commercial market. I can’t find anything yet on whether or not the commercial M9A3 is different from the upgrade package that was submitted to the Armed Forces, but I’m sure there are a few differences, possibly in the materials used. The […]

Cerakote Tungsten Desert Eagle
Quick… name the coolest gun of the 70’s and the detective who carried it. Dirty Harry and his S&W Model 29 .44 Magnum. Hands down. But what if Magnum Force was written in 2015? What is the biggest, baddest handgun of modern lore? Possibly the Desert Eagle .50AE – perhaps a tungsten colored Desert Eagle […]

Top 6 Special Forces Guns that are NOT AR-15s
A little over eight years ago I published a map of the world showing countries which had adopted the AR-15 either as a primary service rifle, or as a niche special forces weapon. Back then about half the world was using the AR-15. (Ironically this map was made just after Georgia adopted the M4 Carbines and M16 rifles […]

POTD:1911 Stock (On Ebay)
I stumbled across this eBay auction for a 1911 stock when I was looking for a LWRC folding grip. Below is a screenshot of the auction. Notice anything lacking in the description? The seller only says it will fit a 45 cal pistol. Well that is rather vague. From the photo of the item, […]

Debunking – or Proving – Urban Home-Defense Legends With Hickok45

That’s a discussion for another day, though. Today we’re taking a look at the ins and outs of a household […]

The Return of .22LR
It’s been a few years since the Great Ammo Shortage began, but it hasn’t been so long we’ve forgotten the difficulty of locating .22LR. Some states were worse than others, for example, back in Washington State .22LR was quite literally nonexistent. There wasn’t a single gun store on the western side of the state with […]
