TFB Review: Meprolight M22 Self-Illuminated Reflex Sight
The Meprolight M22 is a unique reflex sight, in part for what it lacks: a battery. Unlike more common red dot sights, which use a battery to power an LED, the M22 uses the sun and radiation to illuminate the reticle. So how well does that work? Let’s find out.
POTD: Tropic Daze – Daniel Defense Limited Edition
Photo Of The Day and we take a closer look at the Daniel Defense Limited Series for April 2024, the “DD4V7 TROPIC DAZE”. This beast, painted in Multicam Tropic Green Cerakote, will set you back $4,999. However, the rifle comes rather well equipped, with a Nightforce NX8 1-8x24mm F1 Riflescope on a Reptilia 30mm AUS Mount for instance. The sling is an Edgar Sherman Designs (ESD) Multicam Tropic Sling. The “suppressor” is no such thing, it’s a HuxWrx Blastphemy blast deflector.
The Rimfire Report: Which Way Rimfire Man? Ruger MK IV 22/45 vs. SIG P322
Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series, as always, is focused entirely on rimfire firearms and discussions around rimfire topics. Recently we took a look at one of SIG’s tricked-out P322 pistols. Most of you who keep close tabs on the blog will no doubt know that I absolutely loved my SIG Sauer P322 and wound up putting about 20,000 rounds through the pistol without issue in the first year of owning it. The previously mentioned P322 COMP version of the pistol brought the P322 platform back up on my radar specifically because it’s directly marketing itself as something that is more “competition-oriented.” While we’re going to settle out which one is the better competition pistol overall in a later article, this week, I figured we could take a closer look at what makes both the P322 and the Ruger MK IV 22/45 great first choices for a rimfire 22LR pistol.

Good afternoon 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.

TFB Review: Improving the Colt King Cobra's Performance with XS Sights
The Colt King Cobra is one of the more recent additions to the highly popular lineup of Colt Double Action revolvers. Like all of the other snakes on the plane, the Colt King Cobra features high-quality construction, impeccable mechanical reliability, and all of the sleek lines of the Python, just without the vent rib. While revolvers may not be my most frequently used handguns, I still have a lot of fun shooting them at the range because they’re just cool and very fun to reload and operate. XS Sights has been constantly adding new types of sights and sighting accessories for virtually every platform out there, including Colt’s entire line of revolvers. Today we’ll be discussing some of my recent experiences after getting a chance to test out a Colt King Cobra that featured XS Sights’ Standard Dot Tritium Revolver Night Sights.
