POTD: The CZ600 Trail

You’ve heard of Night Stand Duty guns, but what about Christmas Tree Protection Duty guns? Of course, I was just being facetious in regards to this sweet, festive photo I found from Instagrammer, @aviatorsarmory, but I did a search just for kicks and found that Christmas tree theft is actually a thing.

The 7th Day of TFB’s 12 Days of Christmas: Ho Ho Holsters!
Holsters are somewhat of a confusing topic for me. Not because I don’t know what I like or what to buy but because it seems like holsters tend not to follow the same rigid rules of quality and function that other guns and gear do in the firearms industry. I find that holsters are often […]
