Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is about the rimfire firearm world and its many different types of firearms, ammunition, shooting sports, and history. We’re taking a break this week from our ongoing series of ammunition tests to take a look at a new revolver I’ve recently had the pleasure of picking up from the FFL - The new North American Arms Sentinel (NAA-SNT) 22WMR pocket revolver.

Back in 2022, Walther introduced the .22 WMR chambered Walther Magnum Pistol - the WMP. With a 15-round capacity it made a handy plinking and training pistol with the added bonus of some extra umph from the .22 WMR chambering. Now Walther have introduced a variant of the pistol with a factory threaded barrel - making it a prime candidate for your .22 suppressor.

You can get holsters that fit specific pistols, or you can get generic holsters that fit a wide variety of pistols. But when you add in a weapon-mounted light? That’s when things get even more complicated. Crucial Concealment says they can change that though, with the new Universal Light Holster.

MDT Sporting Goods is announcing the expansion of its Field Stock Chassis System line to include the CZ 455, Savage MKII, and Tikka T1X rimfire rifles. These additions aim to enhance the performance and ergonomics of these popular rifles, providing shooters with a tailored and customizable shooting experience.

The appalling assassination attempt on former president and current candidate Donald Trump has been dominating the news cycle. By now you have probably seen pictures and videos of that event. One of our own, Pete, wrote a very good article covering the security situation and looking at this event from the perspective of a former Secret Service agent. This article is not going to opine on those matters, but we will look at the guns and gear of the United States Secret Service (USSS) from the events of July 13th.

On the afternoon of Saturday, July 13, 2024, former President Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump, only days away from becoming the official Republican nominee for President in the November 2024 election, was rushed to a nearby medical center for evaluation and later released with only minor injuries.

Welcome everyone to the TFB Armorer’s Bench! As mentioned in the little blurb below, this series will focus on a lot of home armorer and gunsmith activities. I had a friend ask me about how to shoot a cheap black powder revolver he picked up. It’s an old ASM Colt 1851 Army reproduction. While I was showing him the basics I noticed that things were not quite right. He mentioned he was going to try to clean up the rust but when it was in my hands I could tell that we were dealing with a broken gun. Could it function? Yes. BUT not correctly. When at full cock the cylinder was free to rotate forward as it pleased. I knew the issue and told him what part to order up. Let’s dive into doing Maintenance on a Colt 1851!

Good evening everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Last week we discussed my upcoming departure as the editor of TFB and my hiatus as the host of TFB’s Silencer Saturday. Apparently I spoke to soon; We still have a few more weeks together before I hand off the series to someone who is smarter and more capable than yours truly. While I have been out of town, a package arrived from HUXWRX that I can only assume is the new FLOW 556 Ti rifle suppressor. As it is noon on Saturday and I am still somewhere over the Atlantic, you are going to have to settle for a preview of its features and capabilities and I will finish up next week with some range time next week. Let’s get into it.

Retro is all the rage these days. Though flat top uppers remain the standard and are much easier to use with optics, the nostalgia factor of the classic carry handle still has a certain allure. Springfield Armory is one of the first major manufacturers to embrace that trend with the SA-16A2.

Welcome to another edition of TFB’s   Photo Of The Day! A friend posted this image and it’s too good not to be shared. We have a Ruger M77 416 Rigby, and it’s a thing of beauty. The rifle is probably from around the early 1990s and has the great, almighty rifle scope Z6i from Swarovski.

Smith & Wesson has just announced a new series within the M&P line of pistols, the M&P Carry Comp series. For anyone not in the know as to what a Carry Comp is, it involves compensating the muzzle rise during recoil by venting gas upward against the impulse through a compensator cut into the pistol’s slide and barrel near the muzzle. Compensators have been rising in popularity with the handgun market for some time and S&W has included them as add-on features for their M&P 2023 Spec series. However, the new S&W M&P Carry Comp series comes with the compensator cut directly from the slide and barrel.

2024 marks the 135th anniversary of the founding of the FN factory in Herstal, Belgium. No Herstal Group, FN’s parent company, will be changing its name to FN Browning Group. This encapsulates the company’s two major brands - both of which have a lot of history behind them.

Vang Comp Systems, a noted customizer of scatterguns, has a new model that’s not a shotgun. The new TAC-14 Deluxe is an “other firearm” according to the ATF instead of a “shotgun” even though it fires 12-gauge shotgun shells. Let’s take a look at why that matters.

2024 marks Ruger’s 75th anniversary as an American firearms manufacturer.

Now to celebrate their 75th anniversary Ruger have announced a limited run of 75 special edition engraved Ruger No.1s, the company’s classic falling block single shot rifle which was first introduced back in 1967.
