Concealed carriers of the Beehive state, rejoice! Governor Spencer Cox signed constitutional carry into law on February 15th, a late but welcome Valentine’s gift for gun owners. Adults age 21 and older will be able to carry concealed firearms with no permit. This new law takes effect on May 5th. Until then, the old law still applies.

James has already tackled his top 5 favorite gun movies, so now it’s time to tackle the top 5 movie guns; that is the best specific guns from specific films. There’s no better place to film this episode than at Taran Tactical Innovations, just outside of Los Angeles. Taran Butler, gun trainer to stars like Keanu Reeves (from John Wick) and Michael B. Jordan (Black Panther) is the perfect guest host for this episode, tapping into his extensive knowledge of both guns and cinema to make a blockbuster list for this TFBTV video.

Blue Force Gear has noticed that several counterfeit examples of their slings have been showing up in online marketplaces and in the hands of their customers so in an effort to prevent unsuspecting customers from purchasing a counterfeit Blue Force Gear sling they have notified customers to be on the lookout for fake versions of their slings.

With International Women’s Day being this week, I figured it would be an appropriate time to talk about carrying concealed for women and some of their struggles. There’s an old saying that says “God made men, Colt made them equal”. This saying is even more true for women and over the last decade, there has been an increase in women carrying concealed firearms for self defense. The firearms market is dominated by males and because of that, the majority of products are designed with a man’s body structure in mind. Some women have real struggles in finding the right firearm and gear for themselves. Let’s dive into the struggles of concealed carry for women.

I’ve only recently become better acquainted with how to properly use a sling. With this new knowledge, products like the Swinger T10 Sling system from Tech Ten Tactical have more easily caught my eye. The system they’ve developed makes use of their T10 sling which features all-metal hardware. The system also gets its name from the Swinger Sling mount which helps shooters switch from strong to weak-side shooting easier.

Many of you are probably familiar with the X Products Can Cannon, an AR-15 upper receiver assembly that allows launching muzzle-loaded beverage cans using blank cartridges. At SHOT Show 2020, the company introduced the FORE golf ball launching adapter for the Can Cannon. The latest addition to this product line is the X1 Stand Alone Launcher. Let’s take a closer look.

In this sad episode of TFBTV, James Reeves takes an apolitical look at the past and present of the tenuous state of US gun control policy in order to predict, recommend, and price out what guns and accessories Americans should pick up today if they want to make sure they have the hardware that God and George Washington want you to have before the fun police pull the plug on the party. We tackle AR-15s to AK-47s, mags, receivers, barrels, ammo, panic buying, panic NOT-buying, and everything in between.

Welcome back to Underground Arms Watch. Catching up into the new year, we continue our look at some of the black market bootleg weapons seized worldwide within the last few months.

A lot of us are thrilled by the myriad of options available when buying or building a gun. This isn’t the case for every gun owner out there. What we all have in common, however, is that we seek the wisdom of experts to fill gaps in our knowledge and experience. This is the core idea behind Horizon Arms Research’s newly introduced Core Tactical Collection.

Blue Force Gear (BFG) arrived in style and unveiled its newest batch of kit at TFB’s GunFest 2021.  Among the slew of new offerings were their newest  PLATE-6 carrier, as well as new CHLK and GRID belts.

When we start thinking about concealed carry topics, oftentimes it’s about gun selection and what you should carry on your body, big picture items like holster selection along with different guns for different people, but there are a number of small tricks that help new carriers. Carrying a concealed firearm seems fairly simple when you first start out but over time there will be certain situations that aren’t so simple. Don’t get me wrong, the big topics like gun selection and finding the right holster are important. If you’re interested, I encourage you to check out some of our other Concealed Carry Corner articles. Let’s dive into some simple gun tips for everyday life.

The ability to shoot from behind cover is pretty cool. More importantly, it can keep you alive. With good ol’ fashioned Israeli engineering, the CornerShot made this a real possibility. Extending the reach of the famous CornerShot, Silver Shadow Israel has introduced the Corner Shot Scorpion.

Trijicon sent down Ryan with a new product for Gun Fest 2021 – the Trijicon DI (Dual Illuminated) pistol night sights.  Trijicon already has a pretty extensive line of iron sights available for pistols, many of which feature tritium inserts. The Trijicon DI night sights feature both a dual illuminated front sight and a tritium only rear sight.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves speaks with Chad Enos of Kel-Tec about new parts, accessories, and models of some favorites, including a new version of the Kel-Tec SUB2000, an upgrade for the KS7 shotgun, and a new version of the RDB Survival.

In which I restore a 1952 Tula SKS to her original glory. Featuring adventures in international shipping, a brief history lesson, and more than you wanted to know about the different models of SKS bayonet adapters.

This time last year TFB and TFBTV cast and crew were busy making any last minute plans for SHOT Show 2020. With the COVID-19 shutdown of our favorite show, TFB and TFBTV set into motion what would become the event of a lifetime. Actually, it was just a bunch of guys snapping pictures, shooting video and writing by day and drinking fine beverages by night.

Having the proper gear at the range can be the difference between having an enjoyable day out and cutting the day short because you’re so miserable. One thing that has always proved important at the range is high-quality boots. A few months ago I did my write up on the Johnny Combat range boots from Viktos and said they were quality for the money. This past month I picked up the New Salomon Forces Sua Sponte Mark III boots from US Elite Gear as my new range boots. Let’s take a look at how these boots are for regular range use.

In the world of weapon lights, there are some pretty big names from SureFire to Streamlight. They both offer some great options for both pistol and rifle lights. I am a big fan of both the SureFire X300 line of weapon lights or Streamlight’s TLR-1 HL offerings. Inforce broke into the weapon-mounted light market a few years ago and offered a variety of models like the APL and APLc. The previous generation of Inforce lights was made out of polymer to keep the weapon light down on weight. It was a great option for people who wanted to keep the weight down on their guns while having a decently bright weapon light. Things have changed with the new Wild2 weapon light as this light has an aluminum housing. Let’s dive more into the new Inforce Wild2 weapon light.

Most individuals who are relatively new to the concealed carry market will typically go the way of semi-autos and be done with it. There’s still a large group of individuals who carry a revolver on a regular basis, and I will admit I am usually one of those people. There are a few advantages to both along with a few things that each system has issues with, in their own ways. Let’s dive deeper into the great debate of Revolver vs Semi-Auto.

Christmas time is right around the corner and there’s still enough time to order gifts for that special someone in your life who carries a firearm daily. With ammo being in short supply this year, it may seem like a challenge to find that perfect gift for your friend or spouse. Whether it’s something for training at home or gifts to make it easier to carry gear daily, there are plenty of options out in the market to surprise someone with. Let’s jump into 5 great gifts for a concealed carrier for Christmas.

There are many critical parts of the AR-15 platform; the fire control group, the bolt, the gas key, the gas tube/block, to list a few, all need to be well-built and reliable. Often overlooked or otherwise taken for granted is the AR-15 magazine – a box with a spring that literally feeds your rifle or carbine with ammo. Without a magazine, Stoner’s little machine becomes a clunky, single shot, auto-ejecting firearm. Call it good planning, cheap insurance or being well outfitted, but stocking up on quality magazines should be a priority. Let’s take a look at the mag lineup from DURAMAG magazines.

As someone who generally is disinterested in the newest and coolest tacticool whatsa-whosits, I have to admit to you that I was surprised to pick up anything with the intention of improving my AR15 or making my shooting experience more enjoyable with one. The item in question today is the Ultadyne Apollo Max .223/5.56 Muzzle Brake. If you have not heard of Ultradyne, they are an American company with American made products in the form of firearm accessories such as sights, muzzle devices, and combinations of the two. With today’s subject being the Apollo Max Muzzle Brake, I should mention what makes it unique…it reduces recoil far better than other muzzle brakes I have been around and that can benefit the user in multiple ways. Let us dive right into a review on the Ultradyne Apollo Max .223/5.56 Muzzle Brake!

Full disclosure, I am a big 10mm fan.   Hence, the choice of a Glock 20 as my one pistol for a SHTF situation.  As I was cruising through SHOT 2020, I noticed a unique looking CZ97B in the corner of CZ’s booth. The grips grabbed my attention further, as they had “CZC 10mm” emblazoned upon them in red.  Sadly, this was not a CZ 10mm factory gun, but happily, this was an available pistol to order from CZ Custom, aka Ghost Products.  Trigger warning for those of you who hate high priced guns:  The cost of this pistol is in nosebleed territory: Roughly $2.5-3k, depending on how one configures it.

When you start to dive deep into the concealed carry market, it is easy to become overwhelmed. There are so many different options whether it’s firearms, holsters, ammo, or magazine holders that it can be difficult to pick at first. Fairly often, it takes a while to find your perfect setup and have a system that works for you. We often talk about how to find the right systems for you and your lifestyle but what about when those things start to wear out? We are often so caught up in finding the perfect setup we don’t think about when we should be looking to refresh or replace our gear. Let’s take a look at certain items and when it’s time to start replacing your gear over time.

Whether it’s because of the latest scare with COVID or the instability of society, there has been an explosion in new gun owners and individuals conceal carrying in public. I can’t tell you how many times I get questions on a weekly basis about different topics so I’ve decided to put them all together and talk through each one. I get a wide variety of questions but here’s a list of the most common ones I get when it comes to carrying concealed. Let’s dive into the concealed carry basics.

In the world of SIG pistol upgrades, there are a few different companies that make aftermarket upgrades for the SIG P-Series. In the past, I’ve really enjoyed the factory upgraded models like the Elite and Legion series handguns for their functional upgrades. Grayguns has done most of the initial work on the Legion handguns with their P-Series triggers. They have recently released the ELS Trigger System for the P-Series of handguns. This trigger looks similar to the SAO Legion triggers that come standard in various SIG models. Let’s dive into the Grayguns ELS Trigger System for the SIG P-Series handguns.

Last week a buddy gave me a call and asked to come over to show me his new carry style. He walked into my house with a Rugrats fanny pack with a pair of white new balance shoes. Now my buddy Sean is a father who lives in the suburbs along with being the proud owner of a sweet Toyota minivan. I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight in front of me, but to my surprise, he pulled out a Glock 19 and said it fits perfectly. At that moment, I felt confused, angry, and disgusted all at once but let’s jump into the terrible truth about fanny packs.

Spooky Season is in full swing, and we here at TFB wanted to get into the spirit, so today I have a special Halloween edition article for all you ghouls and goblins. Although we’ve done some All Hallow’s Eve-themed work in the past, and we’ve also touched on movie guns from time to time, I thought it might be interesting to marry the two ideas for Halloween 2020. The horror film genre is inexorably married to this time of the year, and I know there are plenty of slasher, zombie, and paranormal movie buffs in the gun community. What follows is a cherry-picked selection of some Halloween-appropriate films, each of which features a notable firearm or the notable use of a firearm. Bear in mind, this is not a best-of list for scary shows or of best guns to take down Halloween monsters; after all, some great horror films don’t even feature guns prominently – or at all. We’ll take a look at the hand-cannons in each scenario, and I’ll offer ideas for different firearms that could’ve been used for the situation or scene in question. Get your costumes and candy buckets ready, kids!
