Adopted by the Russian military in 2018, the AK-12 rifle has since gone through several revisions that resulted in some design changes such as the replacement of the AR15-style stock and the introduction of the one-piece polymer pistol grip/trigger guard. Kalashnikov Concern recently published information about the latest 2023 upgrades of the AK-12 rifle that were requested by the Russian military based on the feedback from the Russo-Ukrainian War. These design changes are apparently not significant enough to give the rifle a new model name, so it’s referred to as the AK-12 model of 2023.

Franklin Armory has partnered up with the famous rimfire trick shooter 22plinkster to release a new edition of the BFS III 22-C1 binary trigger system.

Those who compete with shotguns know that every load is just a little bit different when it comes to 12 gauge. While there is a litany of options out there for those looking to defend their home, hunt deer, or even shoot birds out to extreme distances, there are very few competition shotshell loads on the market which has led a few shooters to develop their own loads to work with their competition shotguns. Federal Action Shotgun aims to eliminate that need for shotgun athletes with a new 12-gauge load that balances shootability, control, and power and also comes in a convenient 200-round case.

I’ve you’ve ever been itching to open-carry your personally owned M320 Grenade Launcher, there is now a safe, functional, and comfortable way to do so – the new Hercules Tactical Products G-Tech M320 Holster. This new holster offers multiple mounting solutions for already existing holster setups so that the M320 Holster can be swapped out quickly. In addition, the rig features a trigger guard and barrel plug to provide the user with a very secure fastening system to prevent the launcher from getting knocked loose or from accidentally discharging. Unfortunately for us, it looks like this particular holster is for LEO/MIL purchase only at this time, that being said, Hercules Tactical Products has received great feedback on the M320 Holster already and their ultimate goal is to have this holster adopted as standard issue with the M320 Grenade Launcher across all branches of service within the US Military.

The worst part about any range trip for me is setting up and taking down everything. When TFBTV’s Hop and I go to shoot, it usually involves several steel targets and several paper targets. Over time, we’ve learned to streamline our gear down to be more efficient but bulk and weight are still always an issue and that’s why Re-Nine Safety’s new Compact Target Stands piqued my interest. Their new 1×2 Compact Target Stands are made to work with common 18″ wide cardboard targets and fold down into a compact package for transport and quick setup.

Short guns are all the rage these days. Small firearms are great in some specific applications but generally speaking, there are some sacrifices that need to be made. One of these issues is that with a shorter barrel, there’s less real estate for your support hand. This, paired with sometimes productive muzzle devices, and muzzle blast can become an issue. There aren’t many smaller PDW-style guns than the Strike Industries Strike Modular Chassis. If you want to give your SMC more capability and cut down on blast, this is the Blast Shield for Strike Modular Chassis – Alpha.

On a recent trip out to the legendary Gunsite Academy to check out some of Stoeger’s handguns (yes, Stoeger makes handguns), I had the fortunate opportunity to make a lot of new friends including some of today’s guests from the National African American Gun Association. Like other great firearms advocacy organizations nationwide, NAAGA seeks to promote firearms ownership for all Americans regardless of their religious, political, social, and racial backgrounds. While NAAGA does engage in some political activity centered specifically around pro-2nd Amendment rights, what NAAGAs main goal is, is to empower and educate the African American community in the matters of gun ownership, safety, and self-defense through a combination of training, community support, strict safety standards for its members and instructors, as well as a healthy dose of cultural inspiration from the rich legacy of gun ownership that African Americans have. So today we’ll be able to hear from my new friends Myloreal, Shanea, Akeithea, and Jaron to talk about what exactly their organization does, what its ultimate goals are, and what they as a team have been up to to provide their members with a valuable organization they can make new friends in.
