While there are tens of thousands of products that are on sale during Prime Day, here at TFB we’re constantly searching and selecting the best deals for gun-related gear and accessories on the site.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 14: Armored Up Edition (Plate Carriers and Armor)

Hello and welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 14. Earlier this month, in June, the State of New York made the decision to ban certain types of body armor – specifically, soft body armor commonly referred to as a bulletproof vest. Politics aside, the restriction of access to this type of equipment is something that is both confusing and almost counterintuitive in my opinion. That’s why this week for TFB Weekly Web Deals 14 we’re on the hunt for the best deals for soft body armor, hard body armor plates, and plate carriers. Right now is a great time to pick up body armor as there are lots of sales out there. Plate carriers are becoming less and less expensive, and there are rigorous and reliable organizations that properly vet the effectiveness of various types of body armor so you know exactly what you’re buying and what kind of protection you can expect from it. Please enjoy this week’s selection of web deals!

TFB Weekly Web Deals 12: Deals to Stay Prepared

Every so often, national events occur in such a way that there is always a mass panic for specific firearms goods. Most notably ammunition, receivers, and magazines. This isn’t really a surprise to most of us who have been through the wringer a couple of times but to the uninformed, it might seem a bit crazy. Do you really need that much ammunition? Who really needs 200 PMAGS? What are you really going to do with all those stripped lower receivers? The fact of the matter is, that ammunition gets shot up, magazines break and wear down with constant use, and lower receivers are always great to have around as paperweights. Today’s weekly web deals are going to focus on things that people often make a bull rush for in times of panic – you know the kind I’m talking about. Welcome to TFB Weekly Web deals 12.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 11: On-Sale Rimfire Pistols

For TFB Weekly Web Deals 11 we’re checking out a couple of on-sale rimfire pistols from many of your favorite handgun manufacturers. It’s no secret here at TFB that I absolutely love rimfire guns, especially handguns. Although they may often be finicky little pieces of firearms hardware, I grew up shooting a lot of rimfire guns and I find that they’re not only an economical way to train over traditional centerfire handguns but also a lot of fun too! If you’re in the market for a new rimfire pistol to scratch your plinking itch, this is the place to start with these great deals featured from Palmetto State Armory.

I’ve said it before and I’ll probably keep saying it till the AR-15 is all but an antique – it never hurts to have around a bunch of spare AR parts.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 9: Precision Shooting Gear

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 9. This week we’re going to talk about some precision shooting gear. Long-range shooting is a new discipline I’ve been taking up and last week I had the opportunity to attend a long-range precision shooting and reloading course that was really eye-opening. That being said, over the years, I’ve gathered a lot of recommendations for gear, firearms, and accessories that all seem to be favored by a good number of professional long-range shooters. So this week we’ll be checking out that gear as well as some other gear I’ve come to love over the years that are perfect for long-range precision shooting.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 8: Shotguns for Clay Pigeon Shooting

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 8. Skeet Shooting, 5 Stand, Trap Shooting, Sporting Clays, and more! Ever since the introduction of clay pigeons to replace real pigeons back in the late 19th century, shotgun sports involving the shooting of moving targets have grown beyond the interest of hunting experts and are more or less well known and common shooting sports that nearly everyone and their mom has participated in at least once. Although you can take a crack at these shotgun shooting sports with any configuration of a shotgun, most professional or competitive skeet, trap, and sporting clays shooters make use of over-under shotguns and today for TFB Weekly Web Deals 8, we’ll be checking out some of the best on-sale options currently on the market.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 7: Gifts for Your Gun-Loving Mom

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 7. Okay, so you screwed up again and got your mom, wife, sister, or other mothers in your life something really lame from the corner store along with an overpriced hallmark card and she’s quietly but clearly giving you the stinkeye for your incompetence. Today I’ve got the perfect way for you all to make it up to her – get her gun stuff. This week we’re checking out a wide variety of guns, gear, ammunition, and more that you can pick up to make up for your absent-minded gift giving strategy, or maybe you did a great job with your mother’s day gift giving and you want to reward yourself with some discounted gear.

Springfield Armory's New FIRSTLINE Discount Program

Many discount programs out there focus heavily on law enforcement and military personnel. However, Springfield Armory’s new FIRSTLINE discount program aims to extend its discounted deals to more than just MIL and LE personnel. The new FIRSTLINE program extends these discount benefits to firefighting, medical, judicial, and select aviation personnel specifically in regards to some of their most popular firearms families currently on offer. All that is needed to take advantage of this program is the appropriate identification associated with the job.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 6: 22LR Rimfire Ammunition

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 6. In the past, we didn’t have the same flexibility with Amazon deals to get the word out about ammunition deals and sales online. Now that we do, I figured it might be good to start off with some 22LR rimfire ammunition to help satisfy your plinking needs. Rimfire ammunition is no longer priced as cheap as it was but it has come down in price some in comparison to the last two years when we were routinely seeing standard velocity ammunition go for as high as 16 or 17 cents per round during the height of the pandemic. So while the days of 3 or 4 cent 22LR may be gone, you can at least take a little comfort in the fact that the reactionary pricing is at least half gone and starting to come down to more manageable levels. Either that or you’re laughing at the rest of us from your throne made entirely out of boxes of 100-round CCI Mini-Mag sleeves.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 5: Demo, Used, Blemished, & Refurbished Optics

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 5! New firearms equipment can be expensive and a lot of the time our eyes are often quite bigger than our wallets. When it comes to optics, high-quality glass is just expensive and there is almost no way to avoid this, except for perhaps the methods that we’ll be using today. Demo, used, blemished, and refurbished are oftentimes sold by many firearms companies and online accessory retailers. Today we’ll be taking a look at some higher quality optics at the online retailer EuroOptic.com and give you guys a chance to pick some of these items at a vastly reduced price over their normal factory new pricing. All of these items are certified by Eurooptic as functioning but also may come with minor blemishes or may be missing certain parts like mounts, or scope rings. Most of these are “like-new demos” but I’ve also included some that are missing small parts which may not be an issue for some of you. A majority of these items are $100 or more off from their normal pricing.

There are many reasons why rimfire guns happen to be some of my favorites but in short, it mostly boils down to them being inexpensive to train with.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 3: Micro Compact Madness

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 3! Last week we showcased some deals from Aero Precision on their various components for AR-15 rifles. This week we’re checking out some deals on the hottest new trend in the concealed carry world – micro compact 9mm pistols. Micro compacts offer concealed carriers the capacity of older compact legends like the Glock 19 and give them the discreet carrying ability that guns like the first generation Smith & Wesson M&P Shield feature. While micro compacts may not be everyone’s cup of tea, I absolutely love the concept and I find that most of the latest offerings in this genre make for great all-year-round carrying pieces. So if you’ve been jonesing for one of the 9mm micro compacts that have come out in the last couple of years then be sure to check out this week’s list of deals featured on Sportsman’s Guide.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 2: Aero Precision Blemish Sales

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 2! If you are thinking bout starting another AR build, then having a good set of core parts is pretty essential to the process. While there are a lot of great companies out there that make great high-end parts, Aero precision has what I would consider being some of the best entry-level AR components that won’t come back to bite you once you’ve had a few range trips with your completed rifle, pistol or carbine. Today for TFB Weekly Web Deals 2, we’ll be taking a look at some great on-sale blemished items from Aero Precision. When it comes to blemished items, we’re not talking about grave oversights in terms of quality control or variances in structural tolerances but rather minor cosmetic blemishes that don’t affect performance. However, they still work fine and best of all, they should help you save a couple bucks on your next build!

TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 34: Airgun Deals for Cheap Backyard Training

Welcome to TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 34. With the cost of ammunition still high and gas prices on the rise, I think it’s the perfect time to get back into some backyard airgun plinking! Airguns offer you a lot of flexibility in terms of where and when you can shoot, they are also still really affordable and can oftentimes scratch that itch for you without you having to spend your valuable money, time, gas, and ammunition on a trip to the range when you could accomplish close to the same thing from the comfort of your own home. So for TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 34, we’ll be going over some of the most popular choices and deals on airguns that you can pick up to bring the range fun home with you.

TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 33: Top Selling Gun Items on Amazon

Welcome to TFB weekly Amazon Deals 33. While you all know Amazon won’t sell any firearms or ammunition on their site, there are a lot of other great firearms-related items you can find there and often at a good price when compared to wholly firearms-dedicated online retailers. The fact that Amazon has had a tenuous at best relationship with the firearms industry had me curious last week as to which firearms-related items Amazon sold the most of. While there are a few surprises I found in there, it seems like the most sought-after items for firearms are either optics or lights with some cleaning and training accessories taking up a majority of the remainder of the slots. So today for TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 33, we’ll be taking a look at some of the top-selling gun items on Amazon.

TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 32: The Best Budget Shooting Bags

Hello and welcome to TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 32! Accuracy and precision are often foremost in our heads as gun owners and for years, firearms owners have put a lot of time, effort, and money into getting every edge they can when it comes to their own personal favorite shooting sport. Shooting bags aren’t anything new but there are more options out there now than there have ever been and not every shooting bag is created equally. While one of my favorite shooting bags, the Armageddon Gear Game Changer, often goes for north of $100, there are some other less expensive bags out there that can do similar work if you’re not keen on spending an entire Benjamin on one of these innocuous but vital tools for hunting and other precision shooting sports. Today we’ll be taking a look at some of the best budget shooting bags on Amazon that are on sale now.

TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 29: Laser Rangefinder Deals

All of the laser rangefinders listed here are from reputable manufacturers and will be more accurate than pacing off your distance or your best guess. Don’t see anything you like on this list?

TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 28: Weird Gun Accessories

Welcome to TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 28. The firearms industry is no stranger to odd or weird inventions but while earlier generations of firearms manufacturers had the excuse of having much fewer examples of what makes a good firearm or firearm accessory, modern manufacturers don’t have the same crutch to lean on. My favorite place to find weird/odd firearms accessories used to be eBay but more recently I’ve noticed that Amazon is absolutely flooded with products that either have very limited practical uses or are just outright weird. So for TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 28, I decided to source some of the weirdest gun accessories and products found on Amazon for your entertainment (and mine).

TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 26: Weapon Mounted Lights for Your Pistol

Welcome to TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 26. This week we’re going to talk about weapon-mounted lights for your handgun or pistol. We’re fortunate in the modern age to have access to not only a wide variety of high-quality pistol-mounted flashlights but handguns that can field these lights as well. No matter what kind of gun you have or are looking to carry, there is likely a handgun, holster, and light combo out there that will fit exactly what you need. While pistol-mounted flashlights might not be appropriate in every single case, they can be a great benefit to you in many defensive low-light situations. A light on a home defense handgun is a great idea no matter how you slice it and when out and about you can’t really predict when or where threats may arise and having a light could mean the difference between spotting and identifying a threat or not seeing it at all.

TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 24: EDC Flashlight Edition

Welcome to TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 24. If you were hoping that someone might have gifted you a new EDC flashlight for Christmas and were disappointed then this edition of our Weekly Amazon Deals is for you. This week we’re covering all sorts of EDC flashlights from penlights all the way up to some more heavy-duty flashlights that can dish out a lot of power. I generally find that my EDC flashlights get used most often for finding something I’ve dropped in my truck at night, around the house, at work, or on the range – you never know when one of these handly little flashlights will come into use.

The 11th Day of TFB's 12 Days of Christmas: Shooting Accessories

Sometimes the only thing that is missing from our current collection is a couple of good shooting accessories. Whether that means bipods, bags, lights, chronographs, vertical foregrips, or whatever else you feel like you need, sometimes buying a new gun isn’t always the answer. Lots of shooting accessories can actually give you an almost new experience with a gun that you have owned for years and some other accessories are just there to help when you’re out hunting or on the range. Today I’ve brought you guys a handful of shooting accessories which are all on sale plus a couple of extra items I think are appropriate for the Christmas season.

6th Day of TFB Christmas: Bolt-Action Rifles for Blitzen

The reindeer Blitzen is one of Santa’s favorite flyers and according to the lore, the one that gives the other reindeer a boost of energy when he needs that sleigh to have a boost in speed and power. If you’re looking for a boost to your arsenal’s speed and power, then you should check out some of these great bolt-action rifles. While bolt-action rifles may not always deliver more accuracy per dollar than modern semi-auto rifles they’re still fun to shoot, are almost universally 50-state legal and don’t often run afoul of any state’s hunting restrictions for centerfire hunting. If you’re looking to do some big game hunting this winter, then bolt-action rifles will often offer you a wider variety of ammunition selection and bullet weights that are better suited to that job than what you could possibly get with a semi-auto rifle. If nothing else, a bolt-action rifle makes a great gift for carrying on the tradition of what was once the standard for a “modern military rifle” for a lot of Americans before the advent of the first semi-auto rifles.

4th Day of TFB Christmas: You'll Shoot Your Eye Out, Kid!

If you don’t get the reference in the title, first of all, let me sincerely apologize to you for not having the pleasure of witnessing a true classic of American Christmas movies. Second, go watch the movie. Now that you’ve had a chance to understand where I’m coming from let’s talk about eye protection. There are a lot of arguments to be made on the merits of wearing eye protection all the time but I know there are many of us out there that feel that eye protection isn’t always necessary especially when it interferes with your vision and by extension your ability to see and shoot a target. However, I think there are a few times where everyone agrees it’s probably in your best interest to actually wear eye protection, most notably, when you’re shooting steel, or other hard targets or shooting with a suppressor mounted. In these cases, you can avoid some pretty uncomfortable or possibly debilitating injuries from bits of projectile or blowback coming towards your eyes which everyone knows are basically the groin of the head. Anyway, pick up some eye protection this Christmas so that you don’t wind up shooting your eye out, kid.

2nd Day of TFB Christmas: Opulent Optics and Scopes

Optics are a core part of any firearm build and the 12 Days of TFB Christmas is a great time to pick up a new optic for all those new rifles and pistols I know you have on your Christmas list. Hop of TFBTV and myself have been talking shop about the optics side of the industry for months now and I’m personally convinced that we are beyond spoiled for choice these days when it comes to both inexpensive and quality optics (sometimes both at the same time). EuroOptic is currently going through a pretty massive sale on all of their optics and we’re for sure going to take advantage of that! Whether you’re looking for a long-range scope for taking down game or a red dot sight to jump into the carry optics field then we should have you covered with today’s listings. Let us know if you find any great deals on optics you like down in the comments below! Oh, and don’t forget to work off that Christmas ham with some flat range training!

TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 23: More Gun Guy Stocking Stuffers

Hello and welcome to TFB Weekly Amazon Deals 23. A couple of weeks ago we went over a few items that would make for great stocking stuffers for friends, coworkers, and family who like guns.
