How many Americans own guns? What kind of guns do they own? How many guns do they own? The 2021 National Firearm Survey by William English, Ph.D. at Georgetown University, sought to answer these questions and more. So let’s take a look at what the survey found.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about cleaning and maintenance on your carry gun over time. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to check the link here. This week, I thought it would be fun to revisit my most used carry loadouts and what I have changed or kept the same from the initial article I wrote a while back. Let’s take a closer look at my updated personal carry.

There is simply no other way to put it – I buy a lot of magazines every year, even though I don’t wind up using all of them. Most of this has to do with having to review a lot of different firearms throughout the year, all of which use different types of magazines, many of which are so proprietary or rare that you can often only find them online. AK, AR, and Glock magazines are pretty much a dime a dozen these days and you can get them at a pretty predictable price pretty much anywhere. The magazines we’ll be taking a look at today can often only be found online, and even then are often not in stock due to their somewhat niche nature, however, once again the good folks at TheMagShack.com have stepped in to help us find the non-standard magazines we’re looking for.

Welcome back to Wheelgun Wednesday, where we love to discuss all things revolver-related!  This week, we’ll be taking a look at the current state of the revolver customization industry.  There’s quite a few good reasons to get your revolver worked on, such as:

KommandoStore is one of the major players in surplus South African web gear. The venerable Pattern 83 chest rig and battle jacket have started drying up and prices are climbing. KommandoStore started making a reproduction Pattern 83 chest rig to meet that demand. They also created a modernized model, called  Pattern 84, which is the subject of this review.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we discussed what to do when encountering the police. Ironically, I was pulled over just two days after the article went live. We ended up talking about the article and had a relatively good talk about people who carry around police. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to learn more. This week I want to talk about cleaning guns and equipment to ensure everything is in perfect working order. Simply cleaning and inspecting your gear can alert you to any potential problems. Let’s take a closer look at carry gun cleaning and maintenance.

If you missed that article, don’t stress and check it out by clicking the link here. This week, it’s all about interacting with police in various situations depending on what part of the country you live in. Throughout my travels and training with various police officers in training courses, I’ve heard a number of perspectives I’d like to share in an effort to help you guys out if you happened to get pulled over or stopped by police with a concealed handgun on your body. These tips are straight from my personal experience as well as police officers with field experience. Let’s take a closer look at what to do around police.

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.

Guns.com is a well-known online firearms retailer that provides an extensive selection of firearms, ammunition, and accessories for gun enthusiasts and collectors. Established in 2011, Guns.com has quickly become a popular destination for gun owners and enthusiasts looking for all sorts of firearms including rare or even discontinued items. However, what really sets Guns.com apart is that the company basically gives you access to not just their warehouse inventory, but the entire inventory of their outlet gun shops. What’s more, is that Guns.com also certifies used guns so that you don’t have to worry about buying a mystery meat secondhand gun off of an auction site only to find out you’ve been sold a lemon. Guns.com and our guest today, Mr. Alex Reville are dedicated to providing a reliable and secure platform for firearm sales while promoting more local businesses like small gun shops and pawn shops rather than big box stores and distributors. Today Alex explains to us how Guns.com works, and how you might even be able to sell some of your own guns on there too if you’re looking to exchange some of your inventory for cash!

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.

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.

TriggerTech has expanded its range of AR triggers to include new Duty models. These cassette-style triggers feature drop-in installation. Both single-stage and two-stage options are available in the Duty range.

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 49! COVID hit the firearms industry pretty hard but I think the most frustrating part about all of the shortages for me personally was the quick disappearance of primers and other reloading components. It didn’t take long into 2020 for me to quickly burn through nearly my entire inventory of reloading components and then I was left hunting at various local gun shows for overpriced trays of pistol primers. Long story short, I eventually gave up because it was much easier and far less expensive just to buy bulk ammo when I could find it. Fast forward to today and I’m now starting to notice a handful of primers show up and actually stay in stock. They’re wildly overpriced compared to the prices we paid even just a few short years ago, but at least they’re available again. Today is mostly a reloading-focused roundup so hopefully you guys can find something below that’ll help you fire that rusty reloading press back up.

Welcome back to another edition of Firearms of Cinema. Last time we looked at the guns from the Book of Eli and why the main character may have used the guns he did.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the guns from Blood Diamond.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about perception versus reality when it comes to carrying a concealed firearm. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to check it out by clicking the link here. This week, I want to address a few questions I’ve gotten over the last few weeks since summer is coming. People have asked what are some tips to carry easier during the summer months and what kind of gear should they buy to help them out. While buying things can help somewhat, the bigger issue is people carrying too many items and trying to do too much with too little space. Let’s take a closer look at the top 3 tips to easily carry.

While it won’t ever be as close to the real thing as you want, you now have a chance to own a replica RPG-7. Atlantic Firearms has for sale on their site right now new production RPG-7s made from cold-cast poly-resin and fiberglass – much more durable than other replica models on the market. These new models are available now along with a couple of their other replica firearms including the Browning BA M1918A2, as well as the M60.

Hearing protection often goes through the same incremental improvement process that firearms gear and ammunition do. Safariland’s Liberator HP line of over-the-ear hearing protection has been some of the best in the business in terms of overall value for performance, but they recently announced that they’ve made some significant improvements to the line including a customer-demanded onboard rechargeable battery. These new models, the Liberator HP-R, are available now and feature more than just a rechargeable battery.

Whether it’s worrying about printing or not carrying enough stuff, there are plenty of things that people have various perceptions of that may not be true. Let’s take a closer look at what some carry topics that are perception vs reality.

If you’ve watched any movie with a gun in it within the last 20 years, you’ve probably seen Larry’s work. Larry Zanoff, famous for Hollywood Weapons and an armorer at the legendary prop house Independent Studio Services (ISS), joins us once again on the TFB Behind The Gun Podcast to talk about how the gun side of the Hollywood film industry survived the massive disruption that was COVID, as well as some of his favorite jobs that he and ISS have taken on as part of their job as providers of prop guns for all types of films, TV shows, and procedurals. Please join Pete and Larry as they chat about the ups and downs of putting firearms on the Silver Screen including some thoughts on the “ Rust Incident” that happened a while back and where he thinks things could have gone differently.

Hello! Welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report. TFB’s ongoing series covering rimfire firearms, history, ammunition, and sports, continues on from last week’s article covering the Ranger Model 103-8. Luke is out this week, bringing you the best NRAAM coverage out there, so be sure to look out for that. While I would love to dive into the history of .22 LR bullet design or something cool like that, my rimfire knowledge is nothing compared to Luke’s, so let’s stick to what I know: rifles. This week, I’ll be reviewing the Winchester Xpert 22 LR rifle. 

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 47! Primary Arms has been a huge supporter of both the blog and the TFBTV YouTube channel for quite some time. I’ve been using Primary Arms to buy gun parts, ammunition, and even whole firearms long before then, so I know they’ve always got great deals on not only the sale and clearance items you’ll see today but also regularly scheduled sales that pop up for only 24 hours. Another great online retailer that I often frequent now for bulk ammunition is Palmetto State Armory. PSA’s new AAC Ammunition brand features some pretty nice 9mm handgun ammunition that I’ve been having great success with that doesn’t break the bank. Specifically their 124-grain FMJ 9mm ammunition. I’ve yet to try any of AAC’s other types of ammunition but I have a couple boxes of different flavors on order already and you can be sure I’ll be writing up reviews for all of these ammunition types. In the meantime, enjoy this week’s selection of deals just in case you missed out on all the floor deals at NRAAM 2023.

If you happened to miss last week’s article, be sure to click the link here to check it out.  I had a few of you reach out to me on social media talking about overall handgun sizes especially when it comes to handgun width. I thought this was a great addition to last week’s article since carrying can be different for everyone based on their body type. Let’s take a closer look at what’s really important about size when it comes to carrying concealed.

Palmetto State Armory was kind enough to send us one of their AK-104s to test out, specifically their 12.5″ barrel model.  The PSA AK-104 is a stamped receiver model with a hammer-forged front trunnion.  Its standout cosmetic features are a folding stock, 90-degree gas block, and extended-length pinned and welded Krink brake to keep customers from having to buy a stamp.  This particular configuration currently has an MSRP of $999.00.

If you happen to miss that article, be sure to check out the link here. This week, I wanted to take a closer look at some of the things I carry every day when I wear shorts in the summer. When the weather starts to get hot outside, the last thing you want to do is start fatiguing with a large framed firearm rubbing against your side. Certain people will say they do carry a full size in the summer and that’s perfectly fine but for the vast majority of people, it can become challenging. Let’s take a closer look at some must-have items for summer carry.

Creedmoor Sports has expanded its range of competition shooting gear to include support bags for PRS and NRL matches. This new product range includes four different models. Let’s take a look at the various options.
