Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about the various important factors of carrying a concealed handgun. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I wanted to look at a struggle many of us face when enjoying the warm summer months but also enjoy being active. Carrying when wearing athletic shorts is tricky and requires some preplanning before just giving it a shot and leaving the house. There are a few different solutions but it’s important to think of it before just trying to carry for the first time with loose-fit clothing. Let’s take a closer look at how to carry no matter what.

Since their debut about 25 years ago, hunting-oriented laser rangefinders have become almost an essential tool for any long-range shooter or hunter. In those 25 years, laser rangefinders have adapted to meet more demanding requirements for durability, protection against inclement weather, increased ranging distance, and other useful feature sets. The new Leupold RX-5000 TBR/W is a rangefinder “for the modern hunter” and uses the popular onX Hunt app along with onboard GPS technology to help hunters navigate and track their kills precisely.

SIG Sauer has announced that they have new ROMEO-MSR Gen II optics in both red and green dot options as well as new MCX-RATTLER LT 300 BLK upper assemblies. With the 300 BLK upper assemblies, you can now effectively craft your own Rattler from scratch and the new micro optics provide an enhanced yet familiar red dot and/or green dot for the SIG Sauer faithful.

The new Masterbilt Series from Galco is quickly growing in size with the announcement of the also new Stow-N-Go Elite IWB (Inside-the-Waistband) Holster. This appears to be a simplistic yet refined holster for those who are on the move and want a fast, no-frills option for concealed carry of their micro-compact semi-autos.

Today we are back again with TFB’s Vladimir Onokoy to talk with him about his wild adventures with guns in the Russian film industry. While most of you will no doubt know Vladimir from his extensive body of work right here on TFB, he’s done a lot of other stuff too including some stints as a security contractor, armorer, sales rep, and as you’ll hear about today – a set armorer, movie firearms consultant, and actor within the Russian film industry. Everything from live ammo on set to hundreds of working tanks in a single prop house inventory, Vlad has seen a lot of unique angles in the Russian film industry so today’s podcast is a real treat if you’re both a firearms nerd and a movie buff. Please welcome TFB’s Vladimir Onokoy back to the show!

It is hard to find a product made in North Korea (NK) that is used all around the world. But there is one thing from NK you can easily find in Africa, the Middle East, and even South America – North Korean AKs.

Photo Of The Day and we’re having a peek at Watchtower Firearms and their Type HSP-H rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. For the old-fashioned, it’s also available in .308 Win. You’re looking at Nina Roger’s Limited Edition, mostly used for wild boar. The Cerakote is a matte finish to blend with different landscapes and environments.

In this week’s edition of Wheelgun Wednesday, we turn our eyes to Europe for a revolver that has been out for over a decade but is only recently making its way into the United States. Taylor’s & Company has begun importing the 963 MF Defense .357 Magnum (and more importantly, they are arriving), and this revolver was “tactically cool” long before us, Americans, began asking for Picatinny rails and Cerakote colors on our wheelguns. Today, we will take a closer look at the Taylor’s & Company 963 MF Defense .357 Magnum, that is made by Armi Olmi in Italy, to see what it is all about. Let’s dive in!

Thompson/Center Arms is back in business, although we’ll have to wait a while to see the first firearms produced. And, the brand is back with a familiar face in the driver’s seat.

Wilson Combat have introduced the second generation of their EDC X9 9mm pistols. The new Wilson Combat EDC X9 2.0 family of pistols consists of a 4″ barreled model, a 5″ one called EDC X9L 2.0 and the 3.25″ barreled EDC X9 2.0 Subcompact. The two main changes over the first-generation pistols are the new X-Frame aluminum frame and the 1911-style grip panels.

Meprolight recently introduced two red dot sights, the MPO-S and MPO-F, both of which are open emitter sights. While I haven’t seen any official word on the “S” and “F” designations, I correlate them to “small” and “full size” (RMR footprint).  Meprolight sent me both full-featured MPO sights to test out, but today we’ll focus on the Meprolight MPO-S, which features the RMSc footprint, side loading battery, three reticles, shake-awake, and an aluminum housing.

You’re watching and reading TFB’s Photo Of The Day, where more and more images of the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) are starting to surface. Here we have the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Screaming Eagles, stationed in Fort Campbell training on the system.

Welcome everyone to the 235th 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.

Windham Weaponry is back in business, with new, completed rifles now for sale as it reboots its production line in Maine.

When is old-school technology not old-school technology? You could debate this question about the new Traditions Pro Series, which mixes-and-matches muzzleloading mechanics with modern features that make the rifles easier to shoot well. Traditions will offer a Pro Series version of just about all its hunting firearms, the company says, including the NitroFire and Pursuit XT muzzleloaders and the centerfire Outfitter G3 series.

For you “Retro-Heads” out there looking to recreate the classic Vietnam-era XM177E2 carbine, Griffin Armament has recreated one of the most prominent features of said carbine – its iconic Moderator. Not so much a Suppressor or muzzle brake, the XM Moderator was designed to tame the massive bark of a short-barreled rifle. Usually, when you look for a reproduction they’re just a solid piece of steel with slots milled to recreate the look and nothing more. Griffin Armament has taken the design and converted it into a functional muzzle device with their XM177 Linear Comp Gen 2.
