The images in our Photo Of The Day can be chosen for a variety of reasons. It may be because of its aesthetic qualities, its newsworthiness, its emotional impact, or its technical excellence. These were chosen because I feel jealous of not being a part of this competition. What’s better than shooting inside and off vehicles, running and gunning trying to get the best score and time? Above you see U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Toby Schindler, a close-quarters battle instructor with Marine Corps Security Forces Training Company, a Utah native, as he participates in a shooting drill during the Marine Corps Marksmanship Competition Matches at Weapons Training Battalion on Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, April 6, 2024.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about the different levels of carry gun maintenance and the best procedure for regular maintenance.  If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I want to look at some of the most important aspects and skills when it comes to carrying a concealed firearm. I was recently out to dinner with a friend and started talking about the most important aspects of carrying concealed for the regular everyday person. Let’s take a closer look at some important skills for carrying concealed.

As they face one of the most potentially damaging lawsuits in the history of American firearms manufacturing, the country’s gunmakers are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the challenge from the Mexican government—presumably so it can be thrown out.

The Troy PAR is getting a minor update for 2024, with a new forend that makes it easier to add attachments.

We’re back again this week with a familiar face and a familiar topic with Paul B and Moons Out Goons Out 2024! Paul B is a seasoned writer with our sister sites OutdoorHub and AllOutdoor.com. This year he was fortunate to gain a slot in the main match at Moons Out Goons Out 2024 and it also just so happened to be his first real test of using night vision with firearms. I wanted to bring Paul on today to demonstrate to the audience just how easy it is to be able to attend the match. In stark opposition to any of our previous guests who attended the match, Paul didn’t bring a lot of expensive equipment save for his single night vision monocular. So join us today as we talk about how his match went, what he enjoyed about it, and what he plans to do differently next year at Moons Out Goons Out 2024.

When it comes to AR15s, the market is absolutely flooded with options and variations that are so overwhelming, it can sometimes make your head spin. One of the models that has always been of interest to me is the MRE style handguard from Knights Armament as well as the Daniel Defense DDM4V1 with a quad rail that goes around the fixed front sight post. By today’s standard, it may be an older way of doing things but it still has a place in the market. Let’s take a closer look at the Daniel Defense M4A1 FSB Upper.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day is more than a bunch of photos, it’s also the crazy story that the rifle shown here went to the highest bidder at $47,049. The rifle is a Novekse 14.5″ Afghan in 6mm ARC. I recently fired my first rounds with 6mm ARC, and yes I wouldn’t mind one for shooting DMR or even hunting. The suppressor is a CGS Hunter V1, and the scope is a Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x.

This week on  Wheelgun Wednesday we’re showcasing the renowned Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver. While some may argue it’s overhyped, few iconic firearms command as much respect. The Model 29 isn’t just a technical achievement; it’s a symbol of American ingenuity that pushed boundaries. Though potentially overrated by some, this doesn’t diminish the fact that it’s a work of art that will forever be enshrined as a legend. The Model 29’s place in history is undeniable.

Once again, a lawsuit against a rule made by the ATF is headed to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Garland v. VanDerStok challenges the ATF’s administrative rule that declared firearm kits and partially-manufactured receivers were firearms. This follows hot on the heels of oral arguments in Cargill, the case fighting the bump stock ban. 

In a landmark move for the gun industry, RSBC Investment Group has strategically acquired STEYR ARMS, the prestigious Austrian firearm manufacturer known for its rich history and robust product line – but of course, we’re all thinking about the Steyr AUG. This acquisition, completed on April 23, 2024, signifies a major consolidation in the European defense sector, with RSBC Group now owning both STEYR ARMS and AREX under one unified corporate framework.

Welcome to our Photo Of The Day! Each day, we feature a stunning photograph that captures the beauty and diversity of our world. Photos like these are quite rare, as they show German Special Police (SEK Berlin) with what looks like a SIG Sauer MCX, and potentially with a lightweight barrel and the KeyMod handguard – correct me in the comments if I’m wrong. The Spezialeinsatzkommando from Berlin likes to avoid the media and photographers.
