Langdon Tactical have released a new Glock 19 grip extension called Grip Anchor. This accessory is installed into the grip cavity of G19 pistols extending the bottom rear portion of the grip which is advertised to provide a more consistent and reliable grip and better control of the gun, prevent debris from reaching the firing mechanism and prevent pinching when reloading, and help to guide the magazines into the magwell thanks to its beveled shape.

Welcome back to another week in the Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about my top five carry guns if I could only have five for the rest of my life. If you missed out on last week’s article, be sure to check it out here. This week, I decided to talk about my experiences over the last few months with trying out more ways to carry off-body. I’ve talked about off-body carry in the past, but haven’t really given it a shot. I decided to give it another chance and over the last few years, I’ve actually come to realize that off-body carry does have a few great benefits depending on the situation. Let’s talk about how I started to take a new look at off-body carry,

SK Guns has just released a collection of 1-of-1 custom-finished and engraved Colt firearms for sale, with more to come on a weekly basis.  Custom finishes and precious metals abound on these firearms, including 24k gold, platinum, precious gems, deep colt bluing and nitre.  Another facet of these firearms’ collectibility is that some of them are rare to find in NIB condition, such as the Colt Diamondback .22LR revolvers and an M1908 type IV.

SIG Sauer has just released a new variant of the P320 pistol, the P320 XFive DH3, which was designed with Daniel Horner, a member of Team SIG. The P320 XFive DH3 features an optics-ready slide, flared magazine well, night sights, and a weighted, 43.5-ounce, tungsten-infused XFull grip module also found on the P320 XFive Legion. SIG states that the DH3 version of the P320 is blended to meet the needs of competitors and defenders alike, SIG’s description and specs can be found below.

A couple of Wheelgun Wednesdays ago, we took a look at a  Smith & Wesson Model No. 3  revolver from the catalog of the upcoming  December 2022 Rock Island Premier Firearm Auction that belonged to one of the most famous figures of American history, Theodore Roosevelt.   What we have today is another variation of the Model No. 3 revolver from the same auction’s catalog, a Smith & Wesson First Model Schofield revolver that is attributed to one of the most infamous figures of American history, Jesse James.

Every time a major firearm manufacturer releases their own suppressor, my overall happiness and outlook on life get just a little bit better. The only way we are going to move short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns, and silencers into the mainstream gun community, is through the support of the large gun companies making them just as available as pistols and long guns. FN America has just announced the release of the FN RUSH 9Ti, a 9mm pistol suppressor that is designed to fight the blowback of gas towards the shooter’s face.

Owning, shooting, and collecting guns is awesome, but as with any hobby, there are pros and cons to everything, and I thought I’d take a moment to discuss several of those annoying little truths about owning guns. These negative aspects of gun ownership are mostly First World problems, and they’re not always deal breakers when you’re itching to get to the range, but like the title says, annoying little truths.

Welcome everyone to the 170th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Maybe it’s my inner nerd acting up, but I find this seemingly bland press release about barrel manufacturing intriguing. The world of barrel makers is small, with only a handful of companies producing barrels for most of the well-known firearms manufacturers. Years ago I had the opportunity to tour Colt’s facilities in Hartford, Connecticut – watching the massive machines cut rifling and profile barrels was like looking back in time to the birth of the industrial age. Vortakt Barrel Works is investing $1.5M in automation processes to boost production efficiency.

If you like the idea of what the ZEV Technology OZ9 series of handguns has to offer but are put off by the usual cavalcade of lightening cuts, fancy barrel finishes, and other “Gucci Glock” features, you’ll be interested to know that ZEV Tech has just announced the release of their Complete ZEV OZ9 Duty pistol. The OZ9 Duty takes the modularity and functionality of the original handgun and optimizes it for durability using the utilitarian OZ9 Duty slide.

Throughout the Holiday weekend, I had a number of great conversations with friends who also enjoy shooting. One of the longest conversations we had one night over our preferred alcohol, was about what handguns we would keep if we could only own five for the rest of our life. Although highly unlikely to happen, it’s always fun to go through and pick what five handguns you would keep to carry for the rest of your life. Let’s talk about my choices out of my collections for the guns if I was stuck with only five carry options.

Those of you who are knife fans as well as firearms enthusiasts may recognize Max Venom primarily as a blade brand. Over the last decade or so, Max Venom has developed a number of edged weapon designs, as well as some other products like impact weapons. What you may not know is that they have also dipped a toe into the gun world on occasion. They had a hand in the early development of what later evolved into the FAB Defense KPOS chassis and attempted to launch the FFD “Fast Fire Device” for Glocks, as TFB reported in 2018. Now Max Venom introduces a new minimalist take on the handgun/PDW conversion idea. Meet the MXP-DW.

Smith & Wesson has released a new Performance Center addition to their METAL Series of M&P pistols, the M&P9 M2.0 Competitor. As the name suggests, it is marketed for competition shooting. The pistol features a metal frame, fiber optic sights, and an optic cut.

Giving gifts is a great feeling. Giving a gun as a gift feels even better. Unlike most electronics or consumer goods, properly cared for, a firearm can be passed down for generations. To sweeten the deal this season,  Beretta is offering rebates on select pistols purchased in the next few months. These Beretta pistol rebates can be used when you are buying gifts for family members, or when you are just buying something for yourself. Personally, I’m leaning toward the threaded Tomcat as my next suppressor host. Details can be found below.

Thanks for joining us on another TFB Wheelgun Wednesday, where we cover all topics relating to revolvers. As with most things, it’s good to take an objective look at whether our tools are effective or not, so on occasion, we’ve been breaking down the pros and cons of various revolver loading devices. We’ve already covered moon clips and speed strips, but this time we’ll take a look at the pros and cons of speedloaders, which are perhaps the most well-known revolver loading device. Let’s dig in.

If you like the idea of the SIG Sauer P320 but can’t get on with the popular pistol’s grip profile, Brouwer LLC might just have the answer for you – a new grip module that mimics the classic 1911’s ergonomics and grip angle but allows the use of the P320’s features. The M1811 is available in both black and coyote and has an MSRP of $89.95.

For those who do not know Alex Young, he is an avid aficionado and collector of Colt products and rare AR-15s. I wrote an article on his collection of original Colt roll dies for the AR-15 and M16. Well, Alex has managed to acquire a Colt OHWS. Here are some photos he shared of his Colt OHWS.

After seeing a considerable number of Colt Canada C7 rifles and C8 carbines being used in Ukraine, I decided to investigate their origins reaching out to various Ministries of Defense to enquire if they had provided the rifles. The Canadian Ministry of National Defence not only confirmed that they had provided various small arms but their spokesperson was also kind enough to confirm some of the types of small arms and light weapons which Canada has transferred to Ukraine since February. 

Noreen Firearms have introduced a pistol version of their single-shot bolt action  ULR .50 BMG Rifle and yes, it is also chambered in .50 BMG! Sounds like a wrist breaker, doesn’t it? Well, Noreen Firearms claim that the muzzle brake their  ULR .50 BMG Pistol comes with helps to drastically relieve shooter stress, and easily make this pistol an all-day shooter at the range.

Popularized across the globe by many different militaries, Tiger Stripe camouflage is starting to work its way into the growing civilian gear market. The Safariland Group has announced the introduction of some new limited edition Tiger Stripe camo holsters designed for modern handguns equipped with red dot optics. These new Tiger Stripe camo holsters will feature the same durable and high-quality Cordura fabric, and will also be available with compatibility for the ALS and SLS locking systems.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its many different types of guns, ammunition, and shooting sports. Last week we took a closer look at the inside of the SIG Sauer P322 which I personally believe is one of the better 22LR semi-auto pistols to come out in recent memory. Today we’re taking a look at the newest factory iteration of Trailblazer Firearms’ LifeCard – this time featuring a factory-threaded barrel. A few weeks ago at Triggrcon 2022, James Reeves and I had a chance to shoot this new threaded LifeCard and while it was impressive enough on the range, it was kind of hard to hear just how effectively this particular handgun was as a suppressor host. Today we’ll be taking a look at the new life card to see what has changed about it compared to the standard Life Card, and also see what kind of rimfire mischief we can get into with this neat little firearm.

James Reeves is at Beretta’s headquarters in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy, to discuss the true story of the full-auto Beretta 93R with the man who designed it himself, Signore Paolo Parola, a Beretta engineer for over 40 years. James speaks with Signore Parola about his design and, of course, gets to take this legendary machine pistol for a spin on Beretta’s official firearm testing range under the Italian mountains. Oh, and James even gets to handle a couple of Beretta 93Rs made out of real gold. Buongiorno.

A good rimfire revolver can be an excellent and cost-effective way to practice the fundamentals.  If you’re unfortunate enough to reside somewhere where silencers aren’t allowed, they can be a great option for lightweight and compact small game harvesting tools as well. Revolver cartridges certainly aren’t immune to the market forces that affect almost all ammunition prices, and time spent on the range with a .22LR wheelgun can be just as instructive in some ways as an afternoon launching .357 downrange.  Today on Wheelgun Wednesday, we will be taking a look at a few of the best rimfire revolvers currently on the market, at least in this author’s opinion.

When it comes to owning certain firearms, there seems to always be a couple bucket list guns out there for everyone. Movies and pop culture certainly influenced my love of firearms over the years and the TP9 was certainly one of them. Whether it’s paragliding pilots carrying a Steyr TMP shooting at Pierce Brosnan or Robert De Niro being shot at by a bad guy in the drive in movie theater with a TMP in the classic movie Heat, this little submachine gun was always such a cool concept and it was always a goal to own one. I’ve owned my TP9 and SBRed it for around three years ago. Let’s take a closer look at the classic B&T TP9.

Welcome everyone to the 168th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is about the rimfire firearm world and its many guns, ammunition types, shooting sports, and history! Last week we looked back at the Stevens Pocket Rifle (also known as the Bicycle Rifle). Although this gun might have been relatively obscure for modern firearms enthusiasts who don’t collect, it seems like the idea of the pocket rifle is one that is well received today and would probably even make for a great addition to the current rimfire firearms market was someone to take up the mantle. Some of you even reached out to me via Instagram and compared it to the Chiappa Little Badger which is a small single-shot .22LR or .22WMR rifle that basically folds in half to give the collapsed package an overall length of 17″. Many of you thought that if Chiappa simply slightly redesigned the firearm to accept a detachable brace and a slightly shorter barrel, this would be as close as we could get to the Pocket Rifle today. This week we’re dipping back into the recently released SIG Sauer P322 22LR pistol. My personal P322 is creeping pretty close to 15,000 rounds. While the gun is still running flawlessly, I think I kind of proved the point when I hit 10,000 rounds without cleaning and the gun just kept chugging along. Today we’ll be taking a look at how to field strip the P322, what the manual recommends for cleaning it, and also go a bit beyond what the manual calls for and finally take a look at some of the guts of the P322. Who’s ready for some long overdue SIG P322 maintenance?

CZ handguns are some of the most well-known across the world in both the duty and competition shooting categories with the CZ P10 being very popular among European police agencies and the CZ Shadow 2 series of pistols being one of the most popular selections for USPSA and IPSC competition disciplines. CZ is proud to announce the addition of their new CZ TS 2 ORANGE sport pistol designed around the IPSC shooting discipline featuring a heavy bull barrel for increased accuracy, and control in competition environments.

Rear folding Picatinny rail stock adapters are insanely popular but often only fold in one direction. The new Strike Dual Folding Adapter is the latest M1913 folding adapter system that can be folded in either direction without having to reconfigure the adapter. This new M1913 adapter will come with both a rear stabilizing brace, as well as a compatible buttpad for use with SBRs or non-NFA rifles.

I recently reviewed my American Tactical Imports “Galeo” which is a clone of the original Galil, built from an imported parts kit. That gun has been so much fun that I bought the pistol version to go along with it. Does Galeo pistol keep up with its bigger brother? Let’s find out!

Connecticut-based Standard Manufacturing have expanded their line of folding .22 caliber revolvers with a new version chambered in the ubiquitous .22LR cartridge. Originally introduced in .22WMR the Switch-Gun is Standard Manufacturing’s compact 5-shot revolver. The MSRP of the Switch-Gun is $449.
