In this episode of TFB Showtime, Hop is at NRAAM 2022 to look at the new PTR 9CT Classic. This version of PTR’s roller delayed 9mm omits the welded top optics rail, has the traditional wide “jungle” handguard, and should be slightly less expensive than the tactical models. The 9CT Classic is perfect if you prefer classic subgun lines to the modern tactical look.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reveals the new SIG P320 X-Ten, SIG’s long-awaited 10mm P320. The X-Ten is not an entry-level P320. Instead, SIG’s 10mm polymer pistol is being released as a premium product built for accuracy. With optic readiness (Trijicon RMR footprint and compatible with the SIG Romeo 2), a 4lb flat match trigger, improved ergonomics, a 5″ bull barrel, and a full-sized frame, this is a large pistol. But how does it handle the mighty 10mm? Check today’s video to find out.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews the 7 most overrated guns. It’s not his list, it’s yours, since you all picked them out yourselves on the TFBTV subreddit @ reddit.com/r/tfbtv
Here are some hints: We’ve got some old favorites, some really good rifles and pistols that are just overpriced, some Dirty Harry guns, some C&R rifles, and some of James favorite pistols made the list too. 🙁

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at Beretta HQ in Italy to see the brand new Beretta APX A1 full-size pistol. The APX A1 is essentially a re-launch of the original Beretta APX. While the famously reliable core operating system is the same, the APX A1 has upgraded features. First, the gun will come optics ready out of the box. Second, the ergonomics including the grip, stippling, and the slide serrations have been completely overhauled. Third, the gun has been fine-tuned with new surface treatment and other tweaks to make it even more reliable than the already-trustworthy APX. James interviews Beretta’s COO and the Beretta engineer who designed this gun in this episode of TFBTV.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews the new Shield Arms Z9 magazine for the Glock 43. Adding less than a half-inch of length to the G43, the Shield Arms Z9 magazines increase the Glock 43’s magazine capacity by 50%, with 9 rounds of 9mm instead of the 6 rounds provided by the factory magazine. Magazines are a critical piece of equipment: Are these Shield Arms Z9 mags reliable, or even worth your attention? James tests them out in today’s video.

NSFW language. In this episode of TFBTV Mailroom, James curses, complains and reads your awful mail.

The Springfield Armory Saint Edge ATC is an AR-15 with a monolithic lower. The price tag of the ATC is pretty high for what amounts to an AR and 4 lbs of bonus aluminum, so it better be accurate. In this episode of TFBTV, Hop tests the Saint Edge ATC for accuracy and gives his thoughts on the platform.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves takes his mom to the range with a new pistol that he got her for Mother’s Day because she was a fair-to-middlin’ mother to her children. What gun did I get her and why? Check the vid to find out.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves interviews Ricardo, Project Manager and Engineer for Beretta, about the new BRX-1. The BRX-1 is a new straight-pull rifle designed to incredibly high standards in Italy by Beretta. The BRX-1 has been in production in Europe since late 2021, but because demand has far outstripped the production capability of the BRX-1, these guns have not previously been designated for the US. However, Beretta plans to proceed with importing the BRX-1 although it may not happen until 2023.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at EOS in Verona, Italy to cover an exciting announcement from Beretta: Finally, the Beretta PMXs carbine is coming to the USA. This NATO-standard tested, Carabinieri-issued SMG/PCC is the modern evolution of the TEC-9 and the B&T P26. The PMX/PMXs is a straight blowback carbine that has been available in Europe for some time now, however, it is now coming to the USA. The Beretta PMXs is pending BATFE approval and after it is approved – sometime between one month and one year from now – it will be available for US civilian purchase.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves discusses the Top 6 Tux Guns, or pistols that are…well-suited for carrying at formal events. These are not cheap, they aren’t even that practical, but when you’re at an Oscars after-party or the Shah’s Tent City of Persepolis, you can’t show up with a Casio and a Hi-Point. James discusses the most elegant European carry guns from your favorite manufacturers like Walther, SIG Sauer, Heckler & Koch, Beretta, and Manurhin. What are the six classiest carry pistols out there?

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews the Bushmaster Bravo Zulu carbine and takes this as an opportunity to discuss what features to look for in an AR-15. James’ first AR was a Bushmaster Patrolman’s Carbine, an early civilianized version of the military’s M4 rifle. The AR-15 and M-16 have been around since the 1960s, but even in the past 20 years, there have been vast improvements in the design and build of this rifle. James discusses those advances and tells you “what’s the deal with new Bushmaster?”

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves and Ryan brutalize a Mossberg MC2sc micro-compact pistol. Mossberg’s MC2sc entered the already-crowded micro-compact market relatively late with its 9mm 11+1 doublestack micro-compact pistol, so it’s been relatively low-profile, especially considering that Mossberg is more popularly known for its shotguns. Is the durability of the MC2sc on par with the notoriously rugged Mossberg 500 series of shotguns, or is it just a pretender that offers nothing over its competitors? James, who has had a Mossberg MC2sc for nearly a year without shooting it, decides it’s time to subject this compact handgun to a battery of tests including impact, water, mud, and even corrosion. How does it fare? Check the video to find out.

In this episode of TFBTV, James and Hop Reeves take on the CDR Rifle, a collaborative effort made by KE Arms, Karl Kasarda and Ian McCollum of InRangeTV and Forgotten Weapons and Brownells, Inc.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews an “expensive” Turkish shotgun, the Adler Arms HT108T. This pump 12 gauge shotgun is pitched as a “high end” Turkish shotgun, and, costing $400 MSRP, this is relatively expensive for a Turkish shotgun, with pumps from Turkey usually costing between $150 and $200. For the money, there are a lot of features: it’s got beautiful wood furniture, a nice gunmetal gray ceramic finish, fiber optic sights, an optic rail, and an integral muzzle brake. Will this shotgun be the FIRST Turkish shotgun to survive the TFBTV Shotgun Torture Test? Check today’s video to see. James also compares the HT108T to the cheapest $160-$180 SDS Imports SLB X2 12 gauge tactical pump shotgun to see what you’re getting – if anything – with the more expensive shotgun.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews the Rock Island Armory M206 .38 Special revolver. The M206 has been made for decades in the Philippines. It is a popular seller, but for $259, you know it isn’t going to be perfect. But James makes the case for the M206, and why this Colt Detective Special semi-clone might be the best cheap revolver on the market right now.

In this episode of TFBTV Mailroom #49, James Reeves opens your crappy mail and crappy packages.

In this episode, James Reeves reviews the modern Welrod pistol, the B&T Station Six. The Station Six is truly a real-life spy gun and a modernized take on the integrally suppressed Welrod pistol from the World War II era. This Swiss 9mm bolt-action pistol with removable integral suppressor could be one of the quietest guns ever made, but is it worth the $2,250 street price these are going for? Watch today’s video to get James’ opinion and to hear the Station Six in action.

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop takes a look at the new SIG P322. A new US-designed, US-produced rimfire pistol that is optics ready, suppressor ready, and has a standard magazine capacity of 20 rounds. The rimfire turf war keeps escalating, and rimfire fans keep winning.

In this episode of TFB Showtime, Hop recounts a scorching trip to the Gunsite Academy in Arizona, and talks about the new Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical. The new tactical version of the 940 Pro has interchangeable chokes, which is a bit out of the ordinary for a tactical shotgun, and it has a micro red dot optics cut, which is a bit out of the ordinary for any shotgun.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves gets his hands on a pre-production copy of the Mossberg 940 Tactical semi-automatic shotgun – the tactical version of Mossberg’s vaunted new Mossberg 940 series of shotguns. Using the same re-designed gas system, nickel boron internal treatments, optic cut from the factory, and with a blazing fast trigger and operating system, the 940 Tactical looks like the least expensive option for a reliable and feature-filled semi-auto 12 gauge with its $1,120 MSRP. But does the 940 Tactical have what it takes to match up with more expensive options or is the competitive price point indicative of a less-capable shotgun? James investigates today on TFBTV.
