Are Single Stack Handguns Obsolete?
In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves asks: “Are single stack handguns now obsolete?” It’s a fair question in view of the so-called “one and a half stack” micro compacts like the S&W Shield Plus, SIG P365, Springfield Hellcat, and Ruger MAX-9.

Interview with SIG 550 Series Importer Dave Wagner
The SIG 550 series is, at least for Americans, an uncommon but desirable carbine, and shrouded in mystery. These guns are hard to find, expensive when you do find them, and because most of the ownership and the history relative to the SIG 550-series originates in Europe, even knowledgeable shooters and collectors in the United […]

If you have ever shot a shotgun competitively, they most certainly need […]
