A lawsuit spearheaded by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has secured a preliminary injunction against the ATF arm brace ban. What exactly does that mean? And who does that apply to? This is all still a little unclear, but let’s take a look at this case and what might be on the horizon.

The AR-15 is undoubtedly the most popular gun in America. Virtually all gun owners have at least used, if not built, multiple of them. Every once in a while, there is one that is a stumper. This is the story of the strangest front sight base I have ever dealt with.

Welcome everyone to the 191st edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Hello and welcome to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its many types of guns, ammunition, and shooting sports! This week we’re diving back into another firearm chambered just in 22LR – the KelTec P17, but this time we’re talking about a new addition to the lineup for the P17 that many people have been waiting for – an optics-ready slide. KelTec is known for producing innovative and affordable firearms, and the KelTec P17 is no exception. The P17 is a reliable and fairly accurate pistol chambered in .22 LR that has gained a lot of popularity among shooters mostly for its price of just $199. However, many users wanted to improve the P17’s performance by adding a red dot sight. In response to this demand, KelTec recently released a new P17 replacement slide that includes a factory-installed red dot sight. In this edition of The Rimfire Report, we’ll take a closer look at the evolution of the P17 platform and how well the new slide provides customers with a turnkey solution for those who want to run the P17 with a red dot.

Social media is the face of the modern corporation. Businesses use it to connect with their target audience, build brand awareness, drive customer engagement, and ultimately generate revenue. In an effort to set themselves apart and resonate with their target audiences, companies have been hiring clever, quick-witted, and modish social media managers, often marketers hired as independent contractors. The absolutely brutal and anonymous Wendy’s social media persona stands out as a great example:

Hello and welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 52! One of the more underrated national holidays observed here in the United States is entirely dedicated to merchant mariners – essentially the men and women who operate ships that cross the gigantic oceans across the globe bringing things like food, industrial equipment, and consumer goods in and out of the country during peacetime. However, merchant mariners can also be called upon by the United States government during times of war to deliver military equipment and vehicles to support US military operations abroad. While maybe not quite as glamorous as other military operations, both government-employed and private civilian merchant mariners are a core part of the Nation’s industry and commerce and today is simply a day to acknowledge those men and women who keep the gears turning. Enjoy this week’s selection of deals for TFB weekly web deals 52.

Welcome everyone to the  TFB Armorer’s Bench! As mentioned in the little blurb below, this series will focus on a lot of home armorer and gunsmith activities. In this article, I decided to take a break from the sawdust and woodwork on the Remington Model 10 Trench Gun project and do some quick new old gun maintenance. I recently picked up a 1916 World War One Luger P08 with many matching numbers. Let’s dive right into replacing a Luger P08’s small parts!

Good evening everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM Turbo T3 5.56 rifle suppressor. Last week we brought you the second installment in the Spotlight series with a look at Dead Air Silencers. This week we dive back into the reviews with a look at the AAC Ranger 7 rifle suppressor. Does it live up to the famed Advanced Armament name? Let’s take a look.

Recently, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives published a major report entitled the National Firearms Commerce And Trafficking Assessment (NFCTA). This report looked at the state of the firearm industry in the United States. It contains information on many interesting trends in America’s gun trade and is worth a detailed study.

Both of of my professions revolve around life in the digital world – a place we can communicate, transact, and express ourselves at face-melting speeds. And just like the real world, our virtual lives are both blessed or cursed depending on the prevailing winds. When it comes to firearms, gun owners have pulled together using social media while simultaneously being ostracized by social media companies for representing one side of a polarizing social/political debate. One of the most satisfying aspects of TFB is being able to rise above unproductive partisan discourse in favor of fact-based news, editorials, and reviews that don’t rely on emotional triggers for gaining readers and viewers. However, we are unable to avoid social media altogether because, obviously, we are social media.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about convenient carry methods other than IWB carry. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to check the link here for more info on carry methods. This week, I wanted to look at some of the more popular options on the market and explain why they have a place on the table regarding concealed carry. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it highlights a number of great options on the market for carrying concealed so this may be part one of a larger series. Let’s take a look at some top options for summer carry.

This week on Wheelgun Wednesday, we will be taking a look at some of the best choices for revolver hunting ammo for 2023. Note that this is not necessarily caliber specific.  We are simply looking for factory ammo that has consistent velocities, good quality control, and advanced bullet construction to provide the appropriate penetration, expansion and weight retention required for hunting.

Welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its guns, history, ammunition, and shooting sports! Last week we talked about the key differences between 22WMR and 22LR and where each one shines and falls short. As an overall cartridge, 22LR leaves a lot to be desired in the accuracy and power departments but absolutely kills it in comparison to 22WMR when it comes to cost and versatility. Speaking of versatility, I like to be able to train on a budget with the ammunition that I have on hand – which a majority of is often 22LR. The world of rimfire firearms can be an expensive one, but rimfire handguns can also offer an affordable option for those on a budget. Rimfire cartridges are smaller and less powerful than centerfire cartridges, making them less expensive to produce and shoot and the guns are also often similarly less expensive but sometimes just as capable if your goal is training or just a fun afternoon at the range. So today, I’ll be lining up five of my favorite and most affordable rimfire pistols that are actually worth buying.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM Turbo T3 5.56 rifle suppressor. Last week we got some time behind Silencer Central’s Banish 45 pistol caliber suppressor. Today we drop back into our Spotlight Series with a look at Dead Air Silencers. Almost every suppressor owner I know owns at least one of their cans and I have yet to find a Dead Air model that is not worth owning. Yes, I see you Sandman K owners back there, we’ll get to you shortly.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week we talked about Items to consider carrying. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I get asked all the time what some other ways you can carry other than Inside The Waistband. IWB carrying is one of the most popular today and although it’s important to talk about those options, it’s not the only option available to people. Certain individuals say it’s uncomfortable or they just don’t enjoy carrying a firearm like that. Let’s take a look at some convenient summer carry methods.

Do you have a Colt Python but want something to modernize and tame some of its recoil and muzzle climb? Well, Empire has made a KAGE for the Colt Python. It is a rail system and compensator for the infamous revolver.

Last year Diemaco/Colt Canada C7A1 rifles began to appear in Ukraine. Initially, these were thought to have originated from Canada. However, after speaking with numerous sources the rifles have been confirmed to have come from the Netherlands. I’ve spoken with Dutch colleagues and members of the Netherlands Armed Forces about the rifles and have been able to interview a source familiar with the Dutch operation to supply the rifles.

Welcome to TFB Podcast Roundup 86! If you’re a firearms enthusiast or just curious about guns, you might be surprised to learn that there are many excellent podcasts out there that cater to your specific interests. These podcasts cover a wide range of topics, from shooting techniques and firearm maintenance to hunting stories and the latest news in the gun world. Whether you’re an experienced gun owner or a beginner just getting into the sport, there’s something for everyone in the world of firearms podcasts. You can listen while you’re driving to the range, cleaning your guns, or just relaxing at home. Podcasts are a great way to pass the time while you’re doing other things, and they provide an excellent source of entertainment and education. Plus, with so many podcasts to choose from, you’ll never run out of content to listen to. Another great thing about firearms podcasts is the sense of community they provide.

Hello and welcome to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is about the rimfire firearm world and its many different types of guns, sports, history, and ammunition types. Last week we brought in TFB writer and gunsmith extraordinaire Sam S to talk about fixing his Dad’s old Marlin Model 60 – probably one of the most ubiquitous semi-auto rimfire rifles alongside the Ruger 10/22. My recent experiences with the new Ruger Super Wrangler have brought my mind back to rimfire ammunition comparisons. When it comes to rimfire cartridges, the .22 Long Rifle (22LR) and .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22WMR) are two of the most popular choices among hunters, plinkers, and target shooters. Both cartridges have unique strengths and weaknesses, and choosing between them largely depends on your intended use. But is there any specific reason to use one over the other? Today, we will be comparing 22LR and 22WMR, discussing their pros and cons, use cases, and which one might be the best choice for your shooting needs.

Welcome everyone to the  TFB Armorer’s Bench! As mentioned in the little blurb below, this series will focus on a lot of home armorer and gunsmith activities. In this article, I decided to do a little woodworking. I apologize for the lack of Armorer’s Bench content as of late. It has been tough juggling all the projects I have planned and getting them set up. One such multifaceted project is my Remington Model 10 Trench Gun project. Fear not! I am not destroying a beautiful well working and well-finished Remington Model 10 in order to achieve this. I picked up a real heap of one and got the necessary materials together to make a gun I never thought I’d own. My old soul is absolutely flustered with excitement. Let’s dive right into this Remington Model 10 Handguard Fix!

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM Turbo T3 5.56 rifle suppressor. Last week we dug through recent news to discover Silencers Ripped From The Headlines. This week we drop back in for a review of the Silencer Central Banish 45 titanium and aluminum modular pistol suppressor. Is it good enough to change my mind about the utility of pistol silencers? No, but it is both fun and quiet. Let’s take a look.

Greetings nocturnal enthusiasts and thank you for joining me here at Friday Night Lights. Last week I shared how my friends and I shot 2,200 yards in the dark. Today we take a look at another piece of Oasys Technology’s thermal lineup. This time we take a close look at the Universal Thermal Binocular aka UTB.

Let’s face it, magazines are a hot-button issue for a number of reasons, and not all of them have to do with the legality or even their capacity. A lot of times magazines can become infamous or famous simply because of their availability, or lack thereof. One notable example is the current availability of FN FAL magazines. 12-15 years ago you could find them on nearly every firearm, gear, or gun classified ad for pretty cheap, probably along with a bunch of ammunition the guy bought with the gun. These days FAL magazines are quite expensive for surplus models and a lot of them are probably banged up and close to the end of their life if not past it. This is why I’m happy to see another competitor in the magazine retailer market – The Mag Shack. The Mag Shack stocks and sells thousands of OEM factory and aftermarket magazines for virtually every type of gun currently being produced, as well as firearms that are no longer produced or are very niche in nature.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about the Top 3 Things to Do To Easily Carry. If you happened to miss last week’s article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. For this week’s article, I wanted to focus on a few small items to consider when carrying concealed regularly. There have been a few questions lately about what’s the best system to carry with and what things should be checked regularly if you carry a concealed handgun every day. Let’s take a closer look at what are some important items to consider when carrying.

For today’s edition of Wheelgun Wednesday, we have another artifact of American history found in the catalogs of the Rock Island Auction Company. Consigned to the upcoming  May 2023 Rock Island Premier Firearms Auction, this Beaumont-Adams percussion revolver belonged to Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, who surrendered it to Union Cavalryman John Hines at the time of his capture. The revolver was presented to Davis by Robert Adams of London, the co-inventor and manufacturer of these revolvers.
