The .380 Used by the British SAS

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews the SIG Sauer P230. Introduced in 1977, the SIG Sauer P230 was made to be a new and improved PPK.

But it’s 2021 – is this gun still worth buying? Or worth carrying? James walks you through the SIG Sauer P230 and P232 pistols in today’s video.

The CHEAPEST ($176) Semi-Auto 12 Gauge Shotgun: Is it Bad? [Ep. 1]

In this first part of a two-part review of the cheapest semi-auto shotgun money can buy, James Reeves reviews the $176 Citadel 12 gauge made in Turkey. This gun is also known as the Citadel ATAC, Citadel Warthog, Citadel Boss Hog or Bosshog. The CItadel ATAC is made in Turkey like so many budget shotguns these days, however, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Citadel is a bad gun.

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop takes a look at the new Smith & Wesson M&P15 Tactical II. This is the first S&W AR to fully adopt the changes in the civilian AR market of the last 20 years.

NEW Taurus GX4 TORO: Wow, It's Optics Ready This Time

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop checks out the new optics-ready Taurus GX4 TORO. The original GX4 was a pretty good pistol, but it really needed an optics cut.

NEW SIG MCX Raptor: Is it a Mini-Spear or a Mega-Rattler?

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at SIG’s headquarters speaking with Jason St. John about the new SIG MCX Raptor.
