Photo Of The Day and today we have the pleasure of sharing more of the work of Holt Works Photography. It’s pretty clear, we have a Zenith Firearms ZF5 with a Yankee Hill Machine suppressor. The sight is an Aimpoint ACRO P-2 mounted on a Reptilia Corp. Pretty much a dream gun for a lot of people, including myself.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we looked at some of the obstacles of carrying in tricky situations. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I wanted to take a deeper look at the best way to size up a carry gun for yourself and some of the factors you should consider when looking at various carry guns. For new people, it can be overwhelming to look through the endless options and choose what's right for them. Let's take a closer look at how to choose a carry gun.

The rimfireologists at Volquartsen have just unveiled a smaller version of one of their rimfire pistol platforms. The new Mini Scorpion-X follows a familiar design, but comes with a scaled-down form factor, thanks to an all-new upper.

The laws for Canadian shooters just keep getting tighter and tighter. This summer, the RCMP is sending out a memo to licensed firearms owners and letting them know that as of September 1, a Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) is required to buy firearms barrels and handgun slides.

On Monday, July 22, lawyers for the city of Chicago filed paperwork to end their high-profile lawsuit against Glock. Does this mean a big legal win for the Austrian gunmaker, and for American shooters? No. Instead of giving up in their aggressive legal battle, Chicago’s leaders are doubling down, and expanding their lawsuit.

Silencers are a great firearm accessory to add to your collection - there simply aren’t any real negatives to purchasing and using a suppressor. Our guest today, Silencer Shop CEO Dave Matheny agrees.

Please welcome back Dave Matheny of Silencer Shop to the show!

Everyone loves a good large windowed enclosed optic with quick brightness adjustments and a crisp reticle. C&H has entered the game with their ERD-1 which was announced at SHOT2024. I had a chance to talk with the very kind folks there and they gave me the low down. I feel embarrassed to say I do not remember much of what was said but it was because I was so interested in the ERD-1. It had my attention and I knew I had to review it down the road. They were nice enough to send a T&E sample my way when production got rolling so here we are. How does it stand up in today’s market? Let’s dive right into my review of the C&H Precision ERD-1 Red Dot Sight!

Charter Arms, in my mind, is one of the most surprising and subtle companies in the world of revolvers. Every time they bring something new to the market, they do so in hushed tones and I accidentally stumble upon them like a diamond in the rough. Like, “Where the heck did this come from?” So, I submit to you example #7,892 of their awfully quiet marketing strategy - the unveiling of the Coyote Series and Combo Series.

The US Secret Service has released a Request For Proposals (RFP) hinting at a search for a new ‘Precision Bolt Action Rifle System’. The search for new rifles comes just 10 days after the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

It turns out that the Czechoslovak Group (CSG) really really really wants to buy Vista Outdoors’ ammunition business. They want it so bad that they’ve actually upped their bid again, ahead of a crucial shareholder vote that will see whether or not a huge chunk of American domestic ammo manufacturing ends up with foreign ownership.

Dead Air's latest silencer is now shipping. The Nomax 33 is a titanium silencer that accommodates calibers up to .338 Laupa Magnum. And though it can handle large calibers, it utilizes titanium construction to keep the weight down.

Photo Of The Day and now is the time to get up-close with the Next Generation Squad Weapon. There are a lot of new angles and circles in the design of this firearm and its optics. Above you see U.S. Army Sgt. Victor Don-Martinez, a forward observer with Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 113th Field Artillery Regiment, North Carolina Army National Guard, engaging targets with the XM7 rifle and XM157 scope, part of the Next Generation Squad Weapon system, during testing of the system at Fort Liberty, North Carolina.

Welcome everyone to the 242nd Edition of 'Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?', one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question - is this Gat a sweet deal or only have Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

The seemingly endless expansion of the Czech Republic’s arms and ammo manufacturing continues, with news of the country expanding production inside the borders of Ukraine.
