POTD: German Combat Rescuers
Photo Of The Day and we take a closer look at the German Combat Rescuers. Take special note of the Heckler & Koch G36 that’s pointing out from the vehicle. If you’re wounded or need help, I’m pretty sure these guys are the most welcome sight.
Concealed Carry Corner: Generational Carry Differences
Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about how to avoid potentially risky situations and how to de-escalate if you are ever confronted. If you happened to miss last week’s article, I highly encourage you to click the link here to check it out. This week I wanted to take a look at the differences between how my dad carries a concealed pistol and how I will typically carry a gun. We were similar in styles when I first started carrying about 15 years ago but now we have both changed and carry drastically different. Let’s take a closer look at some of the generational carry differences.

TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #128: Backpack Gun Talk with Kirk from Aero
Today we’ve brought back Kirk from Aero Precision to talk a bit about “backpack guns.” What that term means exactly is largely up to the user but we thought we’d try to tackle the discussion from a more modern perspective. What you bring into the field with you is often going to be dictated by what you’re out there for in the first place. My assumption growing up and from reading various survival novels and fiction was that the trusty 22LR was always going to be the gun for the job but today Kirk and I are going to tackle the subject from a more learned, and modern perspective. How does the 22LR backpack gun concept hold up today, and what are some reasons why you might still want to have one in your collection?

TFB Review: Fiber Optic XS Sights for Glocks - Worth $60 to Upgrade?
Why a design that is over 40 years old has so deeply and indelibly penetrated the firearms market is a bit perplexing. Everywhere you turn at the gun range, it is Glocks as far as the eye can see. Gaston Glock obviously was onto something because here we are 42 years later deploying them for military, law enforcement, competition, self-defense, and general tomfoolery at the range purposes. One of the hallmark downsides to a factory Glock pistol though are their sights. They are plastic… a dull white color… and prone to breaking if you’re doing one of those YouTube brutality tests for some internet clout.

Russian BRT Dronoboy Anti-UAV Muzzle Attachment
FPV kamikaze drones have really changed the battlefield. They are small, fast, cheap and devastating against infantry and vehicles alike. The Russo-Ukrainian war is probably the conflict where these machines have been used most extensively and ever since the sides started deploying them, they have also been trying to come up with solutions for defense against FPV drones. Arguably the most effective, readily available and affordable counter-FPV tool at the moment is the good old scattergun. However, one major disadvantage of using shotguns is that you need to carry a separate shoulder-fired weapon. Attempts to make more compact and lightweight devices for anti-FPV warfare have resulted in the creation of things like the Ukrainian MSD-5 pepperbox or the 12 gauge barrel inserts for underbarrel grenade launchers. In this article, we’ll take a look at one of the latest anti-drone devices, a rifle attachment called Dronoboy developed by Russian company BRT (one of the leading suppressor manufacturers in Russia).

POTD: Beretta 92XI Combat Series - Vietnam Tiger Stripe
Photo Of The Day and it’s time again for a pistol. Quite unexpectedly (at least for me) Beretta USA have released a Viternam Tiger Striped limited edition of their 92XI pistol. It looks great, so it would be a mistake not to share these images and ask what you think about it?
Spuhr AR15 - The AR15 Made In Sweden
