TFB Review: FN 545 Tactical vs FNX-45 Tactical - Who is the 45 ACP Suppressor Host King?

Long-distance shooting has always amazed me. Accounting for every single variable that could affect the bullet makes my head hurt, so I have ultimate respect for the longest confirmed sniper kills. Shooting a paper or steel target is one thing; shooting a living being is an entirely different scenario; just ask Viacheslav Kovalskyi of Ukraine, who currently holds the longest sniper kill record.

Carrying a lot of heavy gear around the forest is a pain, so those who have “been there” try to lessen the burden. One way to do this is of course to lighten the most important tool - the hunting rifle. Here’s a Savage Ultralite 100, where they teamed up with PROOF Research to make a lightweight rifle. To decrease the weight even more, a carbon fiber chassis from MDT was added.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is about the rimfire firearm world and its different types of guns, ammo, shooting sports and history! A couple of weeks ago we discussed one of my favorite firearms - the American 180. Some of you had mentioned in the comments that the AM-180 might have been even cooler if it was chambered in something like 22 Magnum. 22 Magnum has seen a bit more attention from ammunition companies and firearm companies alike with Federal Punch 22WMR being an entirely defensive-oriented rimfire load, and the new North American Arms Sentinel being a much more convenient version of their already pocket-friendly Sidewinder 22 Magnum revolver. Since these two items seem like they’d make a great match, I thought It’d be great to take both to the range and get some real-world shooting data, as well as some velocity data to see how these two fairly unique rimfire offerings pair together in the real world.

The H&K P7, born in West Germany in 1979, is a highly recognizable design with unique features that earned it a large fanbase. With the model discontinued in 2008, the only option to get it has been the used market, with increasing prices and minimal access to spare parts. P7Pro is changing this by setting up production of American-made P7 pistols.

The FN 502 MRD and 502T are the rimfire cousins of the FN 509 family of centerfire pistols. These rimfire pistols have a lot in common with the 509 series but differ in a few interesting ways. After putting a few thousand rounds through them, it’s time to share my thoughts.

The lever action rifle market has seen a significant shift with Ruger's acquisition of Marlin. Building upon Marlin's previous Dark series, which introduced tactical elements to traditional lever guns, the new Marlin 1895 Dark 45-70 takes modernization to the next level. This review explores how this reimagined classic meets the demands of today's shooters.

TFB have partnered with Silencer Shop to highlight some of the most affordable cans around.

In this video, James Reeves is joined by Austrian gun expert Wolfgang of Black Trident as we explore the evolution of Austrian military autoloading pistols.

Wolfgang shares historical insights and fascinating details about each pistol's design and role in military history.

Welcome back to another edition of Silencer Saturday. This week we are looking at how to suppress the Uzi submachine gun. The Uzi is a legend, in part for its longevity. It entered service in 1954 and continues to soldier on around the globe. But with that age come some idiosyncrasies for suppressor use.

Welcome back to another TFB review. In my last review, I took a look at the SIG Sauer MCX Spear LT and if you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. There've been a number of large framed AR10s to hit the market. Knights Armament made the absolute iconic M110 but never really offered something similar to the civilian market. There are a number of companies that make models similar to the original M110 with modern upgrades. I decided to purchase a TYPE A M110 Restomod to see what it's all about. After a year of ownership, I decided it was the right time to give my thoughts on my experiences.

The pursuit of speed is unrelenting. It has captured the hearts and minds of mankind worldwide. I imagine the day after the firearm was invented, someone tried to shoot it a tad bit faster. Throughout the years, there have been many upgrades and iterations to the primitive tool that we call the firearm. What may have started as the Hand Cannon in China in the 13th century has long evolved into a tool that's so distant from its roots, that it's almost unrecognizable.

The first online photograph is said to have been published by Tim Berners-Lee in 1992. It’s uncertain how many were able to see the image at that time, but probably only a very limited number. TFB’s Photo Of The Day is hopefully a lot more popular. Here we do our best find interesting high-quality images with a focus on firearms of all sorts.

In my opinion, the MP5 A3 has to be one of the most iconic and aesthetically pleasing firearm designs of all time. The A3 configuration is the configuration with the sliding stock. It was prolific in many action movies of the 80s and 90s, and many video games as well. Chances are you’ve seen the MP5 A3 configuration on the big screen. Unfortunately, Heckler & Koch stopped production of the MP5 A3 stock and transitioned to the new style A3F stock. This left individual buyers with a finite amount of true HK A3 stocks available for purchase. MKE of Turkey took it upon themselves to manufacture the classic A3 style sliding buttstock, to give consumers more options. I have one, and here’s my review.
