Welcome everyone to the 26th 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 have 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.

The M1 Carbine was originally designed in the early days of World War 2 as a scaled-down version of the M1 Garand, the main battle rifle.  The intent wasn’t to issue the Carbine to smaller people, but for those keeping the war machine logistics running.  The idea was that people packaging or driving supplies for the front line didn’t need a large weapon or even full-power ammunition.  Because the M1 Carbine is scaled down in size and power, I’ve always believed that it was well suited for youth that have already learned the fundamentals of marksmanship on rimfire rifles.

Cabot Guns has announced that their new NERO pistol is now available for preorder. According to Cabot, their customers have been asking for a tactical 1911 but making one was not in their plans until recently. The eight months of designing works led to the creation of NERO.

Selecting a good defensive round is one of the most overlooked but perhaps one of the most critical elements of selecting your tools for self-defense. Arguably, ammo selection is just as important, if not more important than selecting the gun itself.  However, I would guess that most shooters simply go to their local Academy, plunk down a $20 bill and ask for “a box of them hollow points.”

In this “what is the best 9mm silencer” episode of TFBTV, James Reeves discusses and ranks the three best-selling 9mm silencers from Silencer Shop, and gives you the reasons behind his rankings. Check out today’s video to see if your can made the list.

Welcome back to another edition of  TFB’s Round Table sponsored by  Ammunition To Go! For those who are first joining us, this is a multi-part series where TFB will discuss the characteristics of great  ammunition  for specific applications. This could vary from big game hunting, plinking, precision rifle matches, small game hunting, or even pistol competitions. Chances are there is someone here at TFB who can offer you advice on buying the right round for your task at hand. This week I will offer up some tips on picking the BEST 9mm Practice Ammunition.

FN America, LLC has announced a BRAND NEW iteration of their popular polymer-frame, striker-fired pistol that now accepts red dot sights with the FN 509 Midsize MRD 9mm! This optics ready package expands on the 509 lineup of pistols to provide something more compact and concealable yet serve as a great range pistol as well. This midsize category of handguns with a 15-Round capacity continues to become more and more popular, and FN is cashing in on that idea of full-sized performance in a concealed carry package.

Seismic High Mass Ammunition is fresh off of winning one of TriggrCon’s Golden Trigger Awards with their 9mm QuakeMaker +M 185 Grain HP ammunition so we had to give them a closer look! Their claim to fame is making heavy for caliber bullets that are ripe for silencer use, and personal defense. They do not have the Ft-Lbs of Energy or explicit Velocity of their ammunition published at this time, but they share these specifications:

Quarter Circle 10 was holding out on us all along! We met with them at TriggrCon Range Day 2019 (Wednesday) and learned of their NEW Ambidextrous PCC dubbed “ The Mick.” Then, the 1st Day of the Convention Center (Friday) they debuted their P320 PCC that will accept all 9mm SIG P320 patterned magazines.

Welcome back to another Featured Deals of the Week, I’m your host Benjamin F, and as always, please let me know in the comments if you want to see more of any type of deals. Last week someone asked to see more reloading supplies, and I’ve been keeping my eye out ever since.

While attending TriggrCon Range Day 2019 we stopped by Quarter Circle 10 to see what they have new and they did not disappoint with their fresh unveiling of “The Mick” which is an ambidextrous 9mm Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) that is being shown at TriggrCon for the 1st time! This is similar to a lot of the PCC firearms they already have in their flock, but it allows lefties to join in on the fun without having to modify how they would naturally intend to manipulate the weapon.
