C&H Precision Completes Acquisition of Paragon Weapon Light Cleaner
C&H Precision has cemented a reputation for themselves as the premier slide-milling and “optic fitting” company in the firearm industry for a number of years now. In the past year though, they have looked to expand upon that considerably with optics of their own and supplementary products like those from Paragon, and their Weapon Light Cleaner, which they now own, too.

TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #129: TFB's Minimalist 3 Gun Setup
Have you ever wondered what you’d do if you could only ever own three guns? Let’s suppose you’ve got an unlimited budget, but for some reason, you can only get 3 more guns and you’ll never be able to get new ones again - what would you pick in this scenario? While this is unlikely to ever happen in real life, this simple question often exposes what most of us find important in our daily lives when it comes to guns. For this first round of answers from our TFB writers, I’ve brought on Adam S and Paul B to give their own bids into this fun little discussion. Today I hope you’ll also join us in the discussion (before or after listening to the podcast!) to share with us your three guns and why you picked them! We’ll be revisiting this topic over the next couple of episodes and maybe even beyond that, we’d love for you to join the discussion with us as it adapts with new guests.
TFB Review: SIG MCX Spear LT
The world of tactical rifles is a sea of new products both in the AR15 market and the AR alternatives group. One of the major products to come onto the market in recent years is the MCX line of rifles from SIG. The latest generation is a lighter and updated system. I was browsing the interwebs and decided to snag one of the new 11.5” Spear LTs and after some time with this new variant, I can give you my fair shakedown of the updated MCX. Let’s take a closer look at the new SIG MCX Spear LT.

Wheelgun Wednesday: The World's Smallest Revolver is Swiss
I have noticed on Wheelgun Wednesday we like to talk about the extremes. What’s the biggest revolver ever made, what’s the oldest, what’s the most powerful. While these are certainly interesting topics and of course I want to know what is firing the biggest bullet, what about the inverse? While larger things are often more visually interesting the smaller you make something the more difficult it can be to even create. With this, I give you the Swiss Mini Gun, currently the world's smallest revolver.

5 Guns to Have When AI Becomes Sentient
AI is all the rage today. It’s one of the top buzzwords in the Boardroom and on Linkedin. It seems like a lot of the work that has gone into AI over the years is starting to bubble to the top. I have personally seen everything from customer service, fast food ordering and even image generation being handled by AI. I don’t think we’re going to see a slow down in AI deployment anytime soon, in fact this is probably just the beginning. I even saw someone propose to implement AI into a vending machine yesterday. One thing my caveman brain wonders is, what happens when one too many Karens give the Chat Bot a hard time about their triple third pounder with cheese, and AI starts to despise us?

Benelli M4 Recoil No More: Austrian Gunsmith's Recoil-Reducing Stock
Sebastian Unger is a good friend of mine and one I’ve had the rare opportunity to meet in person to talk about some of his designs - most notably the OpenTop 11/22. Sebastian recently came to me with yet another project he’s recently started working on. In a move that would make even the most seasoned gunsmiths shake their heads in bewilderment, our favorite Austrian man, tired of receiving his shotgun's punishing recoil, has decided enough is enough. Rather than suffer one more bruised shoulder, Sebastian has taken matters into his own hands and engineered a recoil-reducing stock that promises to tame even the most brutal of slug loads. Because when life gives you recoil, you build a better stock right?

Let’s take a closer look at the new Hi Powers in our Hi-Power face-off.
