Today Luke C.​⁠ is with Matt from Warbird Protection to talk about their line of safety equipment, specifically their soft body armor which Matt has tested himself. Soft body armor is typically capable of stopping most handgun rounds up to and including the .44 Magnum. As you’ll see in today’s video, just like his dad, Matt is dedicated to proving that his body armor is not only NIJ-certified but capable of stopping bullets in real life through a live demonstration.

In this video, Hop is at NRAAM to check out the new Taurus TX22 TORO. This is a combination of all the best elements of the TX22 lineup, pairing the slide-mounted optic of the TX22 Compact with the heavier barrel of the TX22 Comp. And just for good measure, it comes with a new 22-round extended magazine.

As red dot sights and optics-ready slides continue to take over the mainstream, we have seen more and more job-specific red dot optics at increasingly competitive prices. The C&H Precision COMP enters the fold as an affordable large windowed competition-geared optic. Looks and prices are all good and fine but how does she do at the range? Let’s dive into the review!

The Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS you see above was my last issued pistol, which I had to give up once I resigned after 15 years with my police department. Of my 21-year career in law enforcement, this was the fourth pistol I was issued, not including my personal Glock 22 I carried on duty for years. Of all the Glocks I’ve carried on duty, this Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS has been my favorite!

Springfield Armory has been the military arms maker for decades for the United States.

The Walther PDP Pro-ACRO used to be a pistol that was relegated to law enforcement only, but now it has been released to the public for consumer sales so we all can enjoy this duty-proven pistol. People like to throw around the buzzword “Glock killer” within the firearms industry, and if there ever was such a pistol, this could be it.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we looked at an accessory guide for summer carry guns. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to give it a read. This caused a couple of good questions from readers about optimal carrying guns and how to figure out what kind of handgun you should carry daily. These questions made me start thinking about some of the drastic differences an optimal carry gun is compared to something realistic to carry daily. Let’s take a closer look at optimal versus realistic carry guns.

If you are one those bros who wants more powder, more case length, more velocity, more bullet, more everything, than you will be tickled to hear about some more news coming out of Springfield Armory. They have announced that they are now producing new long-action cartridges in their Model 2020 Waypoint bolt-action rifle series.

Today I’ve brought on Eric and Jordan from Meprolight to talk a little bit about their company’s history not just here in the US, but where they started back in Israel. Like the US, Israel has a lot of domestically produced firearms, optics, and ordnance which they sometimes export to other countries. Meprolight along with IWI are just some of these companies and they’ve both recently put a lot more effort into producing products for regular consumers instead of just for military outfits. Today we’ll get a bit of that story in the form of a short history lesson from Eric and Jordan. Please give them both a warm welcome to the show!
