What a title for an article. In this edition of “Just Florida Things,” a woman was relaxing on the beach in Panama City, Florida when she was suddenly shot in the knee by a man who was cleaning sand out of his gun on a balcony above. The man, Damien Chhoeung, was arrested and his bail was set at $10,000. The woman who was shot was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. She is expected to make a full recovery.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we took a look at whether it’s better to be self-taught or start off by taking training. Both had their perks and it was a great conversation in the comments so thank you to everyone who left their thoughts in the comment section. If you happened to miss last week’s article, be sure to click the link here. Recently I’ve heard a number of people say they don’t want to carry a concealed firearm because it’s too expensive to get set up. I think it’s a common misconception to think it costs a huge amount of money to get set up as a concealed carrier. Let’s take a closer look at some levels of carry guns.

One-piece scope mounts with integrated rings simplify the mounting process. They’re often more durable,  weigh less, and this virtually guarantees you performance under the harshest conditions. MDT has just announced the introduction of its own 35mm one-piece scope mount for use with higher magnification optics with large objective lenses. The high mount should give you the additional clearance you need to mount your optic to your preferred rifle, while also taking up minimal rail space.

Tripod shooting is something that I’m relatively new to but also something that I see a lot of value in for hunters and precision shooters. While there are many options on the market, the new Vortex Switchback Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit offers you a lightweight option that allows for quick adjustment in the field and can also handle some of the heaviest rifles currently on the market with a max load capacity of 44 pounds.

Hello and welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 57! Ammunition is probably the single biggest and most ever-present cost you have in your life as a firearms owner. While it can be relatively inexpensive to shoot something like 22LR (about a dime per shot), 9mm (a quarter) and 5.56 (fifty cents) are still pretty expensive when fired in high volumes for competition or purposeful training. So this week we’re gathering up some ammunition-related deals in addition to our regular deals in the hopes you can restock some of your dwindling supply, or add to your growing stockpile for a rainy day.

MDT Sporting Goods have announced the official release of their entry-level Field Stock that was teased at SHOT 2023. With an MSRP of just $299.95, the MDT Field Stock is the most affordable stock/chassis currently offered by the company. Let’s see what features MDT packed in this budget stock.

There are times when I need to leave my vehicle in some less-than-ideal locations. I don’t leave my gun in my car, but I still feel uneasy about leaving documentation or other valuables in my car for too long. I drive an older car, so many of the built-in vehicle safes aren’t compatible. However, there’s another option. The Headrest Safe Company makes aftermarket headrests with built-in safes for keeping your valuables secure and hidden. They were previously only available for the passenger side, but they can now be had for the driver’s side seat.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about the risks of drinking when carrying a concealed handgun. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I wanted to look at another topic I get more questions on than expected. With current events around the country, there has been an uptick not only in new concealed carriers but also in women who want to carry concealed firearms. There have been a fair number of people interested in getting their concealed carry license but get anxious about taking a class for the first time. Many have said it’s best to go out and shoot on your own first while others preach to get training first so you learn to shoot correctly. Let’s take a closer look at self-taught vs professional training.

Grey Man Tactical’s handy seatback RMP series of vehicle organization grids have just received a new color option in the form of the ever-popular Dark Tan or FDE color scheme. The first size offering in this new color option will be the large 15.25×25 Desert Tan RMP which is one of Grey Man Tactical’s most universal fitments combined with the most requested color by customers. Grey Man’s RMP Panels are now in FDE so you can match the rest of your aging GWOT-themed firearms and gear!

In a recent Instagram post, Remington announced that all new Remington 700 rifles will feature Timney triggers. Yes, that’s right, all Model 700 rifles, including the base model. This is exciting news as an aftermarket trigger is one of the most popular upgrades for any bolt action rifle.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about some of the top personalities in the concealed carry space. You guys did a great job in the comments section, so be sure to watch for part two. If you happened to miss that article be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I wanted to talk about a common issue that I see both in person and on the web. There are a number of people I know who will have a drink or two while carrying concealed. They often times say it’s no big deal and dismiss anything I say to them. There are some real issues with drinking while carrying not only legally but ethically as well. Let’s take a closer look at the risks of carrying and drinking.

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 55! Tomorrow is Independence Day, so on behalf of everyone at TFB and TFBTV, Happy Independence Day! While this day is about celebrating the birth of our great nation, it’s also an excellent opportunity to take stock of everything we have because of not just the founding of this country, but the great people who came before us who have helped forge it into the best nation on this planet. Our founding fathers would have been unable to help instigate such a founding were it not for the arms, ammunition, and skilled gunsmiths they had around then. While the principles and purpose of the 2nd Amendment have not changed, the arms, ammunition, and gunsmiths have and we’re fortunate today to have access to some of the most cutting-edge firearms technology available on the planet, partially due to the fact that our access to arms is baked right into our nations constitution. In honor of that, and as is our custom here at TFB, let’s help celebrate our nation’s birth by sharing some great deals we’ve found for arms, ammunition, and gear in TFB Weekly Web Deals 55.

Last November, I had the opportunity to attend Gunsite for a media event put on by Lockdown. The main focus of the event was the new SecureWall product. After the event’s conclusion, the attendees were all sent a starter kit to build our own “gun room” (well, a good start anyway).

As we gear up for Independence Day this year, let’s stop and take a minute to be thankful for this great country we have – specifically because of arms. There is an interesting quote that floats around on the internet that I often like to think of when it comes to the very core concept of the 2nd Amendment: “God made men, Sam Colt made them equal.” This quote, even though it was part of a marketing campaign, just reaffirms the idea that, at least in this country, firearms are one of the key concepts of maintaining one’s freedom regardless of what type of life you’re born into. Finding and buying affordable arms and ammunition used to be a heavy investment, usually involving going to a local gun show or perhaps even a county gun show. Fast forward to today and we’ve got more options than you can count in terms of places you can buy arms and ammunition for relatively decent prices. So in the spirit of 1776, and the founding of this great nation, we’re going to be taking a look at a bunch of deals from around the net that are popping up in anticipation of this year’s Independence Day celebration.

The Beretta 1301 shotgun has been the talk of the town over the last year or so with a massive increase in popularity across the board. However, for a lot of people, buying their 1301 is just the first step, a lot of people want to mount optics, want extended tubes, or shotshell caddies. Mesa Tactical is here to fulfill two of those wants/needs at the same time with their new Beretta 1301 compatible SureShell shotshell carrier featuring an integrated Trijicon RMR reflex sight mount.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we discussed training like we fight and the importance of consistency. If you missed that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I want to talk about a subject that most people who carry concealed either avoid or are just too nervous to attempt. Flying with a firearm is one of those things that most aren’t willing to do because they feel like it’s either too difficult or just not worth it when traveling. Over the last few years, I have flown a number of times commercially with a firearm, along with just recently private as well which is certainly a completely different experience. Let’s take a closer look at how to fly with your carry gun.

In a world dominated by basketweave gear, the new Uniform Line looks to combine modern materials and design and has a sleeker appearance.

Let’s take a closer look at my updated personal carry.

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 53! This week’s selection of deals is expected to be fairly standard since we’re in between the usual big sales. However, there are still some great deals to be found on various items, especially if you’re interested in purchasing parts and gear for future builds or shooting activities. Today, we have a number of noteworthy deals from reliable vendors like Primary Arms and Palmetto State Amory, among others. Take a look and see if there’s something that catches your interest! I know recently I feel like my collection of firearms and unfinished projects has gotten rather… large. However, in the course of writing for TFB, I still find that I continue to buy more and more firearms purely out of curiosity, as well as in the pursuit of specific projects for TFB. That led me to thinking if my collection will ever stop growing? I certainly sell firearms I don’t use anymore or simply don’t want, but even with those sales, the number continues to swell. Do you guys think your collection will ever reach a limit or will you just let it grow as your interests continue to grow and new firearms continue to be released?

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 go over a simple task that could be potentially overwhelming to the uninitiated. From the title you can deduce I am talking about installing the Dlah Designs Beretta 92 RDO flush fit optics plate. Dlah or Dylan as you may know him was nice enough to allow me to review his well-made optics plate. I figured before a full review I should elaborate on the installation. That being said, let’s dive right into installing the Dlah Designs Beretta 92 RDO Flush Fit Optics Plate!
