In this episode of TFBTV Show Time, @James Reeves is at the LORIST show with @DumDum Darko to discuss what are the best five handguns in Serbia – for the money. This is tricky because some handguns are much more expensive in Serbia than in the United States, so when buying a handgun, the value for your dollar (or dinar, or euro) is going to be much different than in the United States. European guns tend to be cheaper in the US and wait till you find out how much a Desert Eagle costs…

The most popular handguns these days are micro compact double stacks like the SIG P365, the Glock 43X, the Taurus GX4, and the Springfield Armory Hellcat, among others, and they all use a smaller size of optics cut.

21st Century Battle Rifle: The Springfield Saint Victor .308

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop tries to get a read on the Springfield Armory Saint Victor in .308 Winchester. Springfield’s big bore AR is one of the lightest factory AR-10/LR-308 pattern rifles on the market, but some sacrifices had to be made to get it below 8 lbs. A strange combination of features makes it hard to tell what the Saint Victor .308 is best suited for. Hunting rifle? DMR? Or is it a throwback to the battle rifles of the Cold War period?

The Rolex of Tactical Pistols: The B&T USW-P 9mm

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves interviews Karl Brugger, the president of B&T, about the new B&T USW-P. The USW-P at first seems like little more than a modular, striker-fired, high-end CZ-75 clone, but as Karl reveals, this gun is much, much more than that. The USW-P has a number of features discussed in the video, but also manages to integrate into the USW-SF chassis system made by B&T to convert the gun into a 9mm carbine.

NEW B&T KH9 Covert: A Packable 9mm Carbine

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at B&T in Switzerland interviewing Karl Brugger about the NEW KH9 Covert. The original KH9 is a Swiss version of the Italian SITES Spectre SMG, a straight blowback 9mm pistol caliber carbine. However, the KH9 Covert has a couple of tricks up its sleeve compared to the original. The KH9 Covert’s pistol grip and magazine well can be folded away in a 90° position, which means that the KH9 Covert’s already slim configuration can be easily stowed in an (included) messenger bag or possibly under a coat without raising the operator’s profile. The pistol grip and magazine well can be rapidly deployed. The KH9 Covert has a unique trigger system where the safety lever acts as a de-cocker for the internal hammer as the trigger is capable of double-action or single-action firing. The KH9 Covert has rails for optics and accessories and a tri-lug adapter on the barrel for use with a quick-attach suppressor. The KH9 features fully ambidextrous controls and the carbine accepts all APC9 or MP9 type polymer magazines.

The NEW FN Hi-Power Review (2022 Model)

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews the new FN Hi-Power, which has been completely overhauled for 2022. Yes, FN has re-engineered and re-released the legendary, original Hi-Power wonder nine pistol, thought by many to be one of the best 9mm handguns ever made. Even though the Hi-Power was released in 1935, this pistol remains a staple around the world and is still the official sidearm of many nations and armies. FN discontinued the original Hi-Power in 2018 citing a lack of interest in the civilian market, but 4 years later, FN released a completely new version of the pistol, with the same styling and traditional appearance of the original, but integrating more modern features and build quality. Is the new FN worth your attention? Check today’s video to find out.

Pocket-size Cyberpunk SMG: The B&T TP380

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves looks at the ultra-compact, cyberpunky TP380. The TP380 is a .380 ACP pistol/PCC/SMG introduced by Swiss B&T (Brugger & Thomet) almost 10 years ago. Initially earmarked for the South American civilian market, B&T never obtained an export license for the guns and they sat on B&T’s shelves in Thun. However, B&T is planning on introducing the subcompact .380 ACP as a pistol in the US market by the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023. James talks with Karl Brugger personally about the TP380 and gives you his first impressions.

Bigger, Longer, and Optics Cut: The Taurus GX4 XL

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop reviews the Taurus GX4 again! The new GX4 XL model has a longer barrel and slide, mated to the same compact double stack frame as the original GX4. The longer slide and barrel means a longer sight radius and more muzzle velocity, but is it enough difference to make a difference? I dunno, ask Paul Harrel, my chronograph barely works as it is.

Incredible Swiss Folding Gun: The B&T BWC

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves visits B&T in Switzerland to see their take on the folding carbine, the B&T BWC (“Because We Can”). The BWC is a 9mm folding SMG/PCC that uses a SIG P320 fire control unit or “FCU” meaning that the BWC itself is not a firearm, but a frame or chassis. This means that this folding pistol chassis is unregulated – a mere accessory. A SIG P320 owner can buy this chassis like any other unregulated accessory because it does not come as a complete firearm. Once you purchase it, you need only insert a SIG P320 FCU and slide/barrel upper, and you have a complete folding carbine.

A .308 AK-47: Zastava M77 Overview

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at Zastava USA to discuss the new import of the Zastava M77 rifle.
