Top 6 Gun Personalities At The Range – Part 2

On Christmas Day, I posted about the top gun personalities you see at the gun range. We can all relate when seeing the various stereotypes at the range and have a good chuckle about it. I fell into a number of categories last time, so it’s perfectly fine to have fun with it and just laugh about all the crazy things we do as a community. Let’s dive into another round of top gun personalities I’ve seen at the range throughout my various sessions.

The Guns of Den of Thieves – An Action Movie Without Any Glocks

Den of Thieves was released to movie screens in January of 2018. This was a while ago obviously but it has been on my brain’s watchlist for two years. Just a little bit ago it made its way onto Netflix and found itself on the top 10 movies currently on Netflix chunk of the streaming platform, so naturally, I had to watch it.

TFB Review: WOOX Wildman and Exactus Chassis

When it comes to precision rifle stocks and chassis, most manufacturers have moved to aluminum or composite materials. WOOX has gone in a different direction. They blend the old with the new. Their chassis are a mix of aircraft grade aluminum with the feel of a wood stock. The WOOX Wildman is their entry-level stock while the Exactus has elements of a precision stock. They sent them both in for us to check them out.

Iranian Embassy Siege: The Guns Of The '6 Days' Movie – PART 2

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Iranian Embassy Siege that spanned from the morning of 30th April to 5th May 1980, in London. During that event, a group of six men from an area of Iran, dubbed locally as “Arabistan,” stormed the Iranian Embassy in London to take hostages in order to negotiate the release of Arabistani prisoners held by Iran and to gain more control over their claimed territory. Eventually, the British Special Air Service (SAS) took control of the situation, in the hopes that future would-be terrorists would think twice about messing with the United Kingdom.

SHTF Gun – The Old School End Of The World Gun

Over the last few weeks, the TFB crew has discussed a number of times what their End of the World gun would be if they had to just pick one. I was rather torn since I typically carry a 10.5 AR pistol in my truck on a daily basis. The more I thought about it, there’s no way I would be stuck with a really short 5.56 barrel on my end of the world gun. Pete started this series and encouraged everyone to write their perfect gun and for the most part, I agree with Pete’s choices. The main difference between Pete’s choice and mine is the fact I live in the rather flat areas of Michigan.

Having been born during this event, I’m fascinated by the firearms and equipment, and how they’ve evolved since.  In this two-part series, we’ll first take a look at the guns of the hostage takers from “Arabistan,” then, in Part 2 we’ll look at the weapons of the British Special Air Service (SAS).

Concealed Carry Corner: The Importance of Medical

Every week, we sit down and look at different aspects of the concealed carry realm, but medical is often something that goes without much coverage. Some of you may disagree, but being in a situation where someone may need medical help is much greater than being in a self-defense situation. Whether it’s witnessing a bad car collision or having an unfortunate accident, things happen. Having the proper equipment as well as knowledge is incredibly important when emergencies occur. I know some will argue that medical products are too big or bulky for everyday carry, but there are plenty of classes and products out there to help the everyday civilian be better prepared for a stressful situation. Let’s dive into a few different ways to be more prepared in a medical emergency.

PMM Compensator Showdown – Single vs Dual Comp Breakdown

Over the last few years, my preferences have changed from Glock’s modularity to the P320 and its overall options for customization. Last week, I looked at the new RXP XCompact and the overall evolution of a factory SIG 320, but what about the aftermarket community?  The Glock community had an explosion in aftermarket parts as it became more popular and it created a cycle of new customers purchasing Glocks to build them exactly how they wanted them. I purchased my first Glock 19 for this reason but the P320 is different.

Concealed Carry Corner: Ways to Practice Shooting From Home

There is no denying, the last few weeks have been a little odd around the world. Normal daily practices like going out to dinner or hitting the range on a free day, have completely stopped. The number one complaint with shooters in my area is the lack of open ranges. Here in Michigan, most of the public ranges and indoor ranges have been shut down for public safety, so it really is difficult to find an accessible place to shoot if you don’t have private land.

TFB Review: Kalashnikov KP-9 SBR – The Russian MP5?

Over the last year, the Kalashnikov KP-9 has become increasingly popular in the gun market as a cheaper alternative to the MP5 clones and other AR-style PCC guns. I have finally had my KP-9 out of the ATF jail so it is an SBR and I finally was able to run it as an SBR for a couple thousand rounds. After I spent some time with it, I’m excited to talk about the good and bad I’ve experienced so far with the fun little KP-9. Let’s dive into this little PCC tac driver.

Concealed Carry Corner: Top 4 Things Worth Paying Extra For Carrying Concealed

Throughout the years, I have tried a fair number of products and really wish I wouldn’t have spent money on certain items. I think we all have a junk shelf in our gun room with old holsters or parts we thought would be a great addition to a concealed carry loadout, but ended up being a letdown. After carrying a concealed handgun for a while, it becomes clear what’s important to spend money on and what’s better to go cheap. I was rummaging in my gun room and there were a few different categories that stood out to me. After looking through all the leftover gear, I decided to put together a list of the top 4 things it pays to spend extra on the first time. Keep in mind, this is for people who are beginning their journey in the concealed carry world, so let’s dive into it.

Concealed Carry Corner: 3 Different Perspectives on Carrying

Over the past year, I’ve written all about different ways to carry handguns and the benefits of various setups. I thought it would be interesting to take three different concealed carrier’s gear and look at what they carry on a daily basis. These are various people I have either met at gun ranges or know personally who conceal carry daily. In previous articles, I’ve talked about how everyone’s set up is different despite carrying roughly the same things. Let’s dive into some different conceal carry loadouts and look at what people carry on a daily basis.

TFB 6th Month Review: Haley Strategic SBR Thorntail2 Light Mount

Over the last 6 months, I have been using and abusing the Haley Strategic SBR Thorntail2 mount with my Surefire Scout rifle light. I’ve owned this light for the last few years with the factory mount and overall I really like the light but hated the factory mount. Putting the Scout on something like my PWS MK116 Mod 2 created issues since it has a muzzle brake and would carbon the light up every magazine since it was so close to the muzzle. Putting the Scout on my short-barreled 308 only made the carbon and abuse even worse. I have used the original Thorntail on my 10.5 AR pistol for the last year and a half so I figured I would give the new one a shot. Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of this low profile light mount.

TFB Review: FirstSpear's Low Profile Comm Pack

Finding a good bag for everyday use as well as range use can be difficult, to say the least. In an effort to find the mythical “do all” bag, I’ve decided to purchase a few different bags with my own money in the name of science and product testing. These were not requested for testing, paid for by TFB or even talked about with any of the companies.
