SHOT Show 2025: New AR Rifles and Pistols

You can’t walk 10 feet at the SHOT Show without running into an AR pattern rifle. It would be a Herculean task to cover them all, but here are ten that caught my eye as I wandered the show floor throughout the week in no particular order. 1. Wraithworks WARP-15 5.56mm Starting on the Monday […]

The Tikka T3X Lite Hunting Rifle (Part 3)

On the flip side, Tikka barrels are an area where this Finnish rifle maker doesn’t gloss over any detail. Tikka barrels are […]

SVCh Sniper Rifle - The SVD Replacement

SVCh, the new sniper rifle that will replace the famous SVD started its life as a commercial hunting carbine in 2016, designed by Andrei Chukavin. The hunting carbine was chambered in the .308 Win. (7.62x51 mm) caliber. The project was shown to the Russian Military in 2018; they showed interest in it as a military weapon. The experimental design program called "Reaper" was opened to create a weapon in the domestic 7.62x54 mm caliber. In the early stages, the rifle was a short barrel one, what we would colloquially call a battle rifle.

POTD: Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro - IMPACT in 6.5 Creedmoor

Hopefully, you won’t like this exact color and setup too much, because the IMPACT was a limited edition and is now sold out. The basis is a Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro bolt-action rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor, but only 40 units of the IMPACT were ever built. However, we can still admire these images, and find inspiration for new projects - that’s what TFB’s Photo Of The Day  is for some of the time.

Western Hunting Expo 2025 Show Overview

I attended the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo  in Salt Lake City, Utah. TFB focuses more on guns and shooting than hunting, but this show is a chance to see some companies and products that were not at SHOT Show. It is also a consumer show, so unlike SHOT Show you can buy things, and I snagged some hard-to-find Swift A-Frame bullets while I was there!

Another Democrat Gun Grabber Calls for Political Violence, This Time with ‘Actual Weapons’ - Ammoland.com

 “A Democrat in Congress is urging Americans to ‘bring actual weapons’ against Elon Musk as the head of DOGE continues to expose massive amounts of spending waste in the federal government,” World Net Daily reported Wednesday. “U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., told CNN on Wednesday that Musk is ‘harming the American public in an enormous way, and what I think is really important and what the American public want, is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country.'”

So… basically, engage in armed insurrection to prevent government waste, abuse, corruption, and fraud from being identified…? Unlike the J6 “seditious conspirators” Democrats have breathlessly painted as Nazis and domestic terrorists…?

Just what we need from an immigrant whose family came here from Peru ostensibly to enjoy the superior recognition of freedom this copuntry offered…

This is hardly an isolated incident.

Earlier this month,  AmmoLand related the words of a Democrat official in Pennsylvania, calling for Trump supporters, presumably all 77 million of them, to be “extraconstitutionally… hanged by the neck until dead,” noting the climate of hate being fostered by national party leaders. And Thursday, this column reported on still Kweisi after all these years Democrat Rep. Mfume of Maryland exhorting his followers to start a “street fight  over Musk’s efforts to identify government waste, abuse, corruption, and fraud.

ATF’s Facial Recognition Tied to Trump Assassination Attempt Investigation, Raising 2A Concerns - Ammoland.com

 Washington, D.C. – New revelations confirm that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has been utilizing facial recognition technology to identify gun owners, sparking alarm among civil liberties advocates and Second Amendment supporters.

The controversy resurfaced following the July 13, 2024, attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Shortly after, an FBI preliminary report released by Senator Ron Johnson revealed that law enforcement sent photos of the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, to the ATF for facial recognition purposes. This revelation has led to renewed scrutiny of the agency’s involvement in biometric surveillance.

ATF’s Facial Recognition Program Exposed

According to a 2021 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, the ATF has access to various facial recognition systems, including Clearview AI, Vigilant Solutions, and databases maintained by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. These systems allow authorities to compare facial images against a database of billions of online photos, including images scraped from social media, news sites, and mugshot databases.

Wilson Combat Introduces QUELL P Suppressors For Pistols

Wilson Combat has introduced the QUELL P and QUELL P-S suppressors for 9mm semi-auto pistols. The QUELL P uses a 7-baffle system to reduce sound by 34dB, measuring 6.25 inches long and weighing 9.5 ounces. The QUELL P-S has a 4-baffle system, reducing sound by 25dB in a 4.875-inch, 8-ounce design. For those who do not yet have threaded barrels on their handguns, I can highly recommend that you get into business.

MDT ACC Premier GEN2 Chassis System Now Available For Ruger American

MDT Sporting Goods is expanding the ACC Premier GEN2 Chassis System line by introducing the Ruger American Short Action Right Hand version. In case you haven’t tried it yet, adding a chassis to your bolt-action rifle can significantly enhance its performance and modularity. In general, a quality chassis system improves stability and rigidity, leading to greater accuracy and consistency. I recommend that you take the time to bed your rifle once you fit a new chassis, especially if you think that accuracy is important.

First Look: Coyote Brown 1911 DS Prodigy Comp

The legendary 1911 design has perhaps never been more popular in its 100-year-plus life than in the past decade. However, the one limitation that often steers buyers in other directions is the inherent limited capacity of the century-old Browning design. Thus, the innovation of the double-stack 1911 was born.

The Rimfire Report: CCI Clean-22 - Part 2 with the P322 COMP

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! In this ongoing series, we cover everything from some of the oldest examples of rimfire guns and ammo up to the latest releases that we’ve seen at places like SHOT Show 2025 and more. A few weeks ago we took a look at CCI’s Clean-22 Steel Challenge 40 grain ammunition. To sum that article up briefly, the ammo performed exceptionally well in the consistency and cleanliness departments. When it came to accuracy, however, I found the CCI Clean to be lacking and as I mentioned a few weeks ago - this is probably because the ammo isn’t intended to be a precise target ammunition. To further demonstrate this, I took my remaining CCI Clean-22 40gr out to the range along with my freshly cleaned SIG Sauer P322 COMP pistol, to see how well the ammo does out of a more practical Steel Challenge gun.

Why Are Gun Control Groups Receiving Taxpayer Funds?

M42 Duster — From Fighting Jets to Battling Guerrillas

The M42 — known as the “Duster” — was a light armored air defense system that arguably became better known for its capabilities against the communist ground forces in the Vietnam War. Originally built for the U.S. Army between 1952 and 1960, a total of 3,700 M42s were built. The weapon system first saw use Read More

How a Replica STEN Gun Led to a Sailor’s 20-year Prison Sentence - Ammoland.com

 Former sailor Patrick Tate Adamiak once bought a replica STEN Mk. II submachinegun at a local gun show. He paid $75 for the non-firing Spanish replica – or toy – which was made by Denix and is still sold online for hundreds of dollars more.

At the time, Adamiak felt pretty good about his replica STEN purchase. Sure, it could not chamber a live round, was mostly made of a zinc alloy and had a smooth rather than rifled barrel, but he planned to feature it prominently in a weapons museum he dreamed of creating. He had purchased other firearm replicas for the same reason.

Unfortunately, Adamiak had no idea how badly the ATF would lie about this completely legal purchase. The STEN toy became the most tested and most written about gun of all the legal firearms parts seized by the ATF during their raids. At his trial, none of the other weapon parts received the amount of testimony as the fake STEN.

This legal toy, Adamiak believes, is one of the main reasons why he is now serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Dark Web of Taxpayer’s Money Funds Anti-Gun Organizations - Ammoland.com

 By now, the word of USAID funding anti-gun groups has gone viral throughout the gun community. This funding of groups working against an American’s God-given rights has led many to wonder how such spending went unnoticed for years. Multiple investigations show an elaborate web of money funneling that obfuscates the money sources.

None of the funding to the anti-gun groups came directly from USAID. What USAID did was to pass the funds to a middleman that paid out the anti-gun groups. Some think these middlemen made it so USAID could deny that they were funding politically motivated anti-gun groups like a shell game. Some would equate it to legal money laundering. It is unclear how much USAID knew about the funds’ disbursal, but the agency is supposed to monitor any taxpayers’ dollars doled out. USAID was either incompetent or complacent.

One example of the dark web of money is the tunneling of funds distributed through non-profit groups such as NEO Philanthropy, the Board of Trustees of the Lelan, and George Soros’s Tides Foundation to anti-gun organizations. These groups joined other non-profits such as Civicus World Alliance, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, and Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund to bankroll Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety to the tune of $7.5 million. Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund was responsible for a staggering $6,748,000. The next largest donor was Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, which gave the anti-gun group $300,000. Everytown took in $65,049,593 in 2022.

The Short-lived RPK-16 Light Machine Gun / Automatic Rifle

The RPK-16 was first unveiled in 2016. It appeared to be a successor to the RPK-74, following the typical design trends in Russian firearms. "RPK" refers to Kalashnikov's hand-held machine gun, commonly categorized as a light machine gun. However, the RPK series, including the RPK-16, is more accurately classified as an automatic rifle.

POTD: The Swedish Ak 5 C (Automatkarbin 5 Cesar)

Like other service rifles such as the French FAMAS, the Swedish Ak 5 C (Automatkarbin 5 Cesar) is up for retirement, but with a crisp image like this it’s hard not to add it to TFB’s Photo Of The Day . You can also see the FN MAG machine gun in the foreground, called Ksp 58 (in 7.62x51mm) by the Swedes, as well as the Carl Gustaf 8.4 cm recoilless rifle. I think this is the M3 version of the Carl Gustaf, to be replaced by the M4. The grenade launcher is a powerful weapon and forms the foundation of the Swedish Armed Forces' anti-tank arsenal. There is a large selection of ammunition to choose from, but I wonder which grenade would be best suited for drones. Or if there’s one in development?

Gun Shops and Gun Laws of Brazil: Lessons for the US Gun Community

Previously I wrote about the gun culture of  Iraq , Pakistan , Saudi Arabia , UAE , and the Philippines . While all those places are fascinating, they seem a bit too exotic for a US gun owner. In the conversation about gun laws, US politicians like to use examples of Australia, and the UK, but often ignore countries that are more similar to the USA and even closer to it geographically - the countries of South America. Today, Brazil is the biggest and most populated South American country, with over 212,000,000 citizens. Like the US, it has a notable problem with gangs and violent crime, and it consists of different states and has a diverse population. Brazil's size and demographics are pretty similar to those of the US. What can we learn from Brazil’s experience regarding gun laws? Apparently, a lot, because in recent years, Brazil's government unintentionally conducted one of the biggest social experiments related to gun laws in the history of mankind.

But to get one to review properly is a lot easier said than done, even for one living in Europe.

Remember when the ATF made out like it was going to start classifying some firearms with pistol braces as regulated items under the National Firearms Act ? And remember how they walked that back afterwards ? And supposedly clarified the issue here ? Well, if you take a careful look at a case working its way through the federal system, it looks like the ATF hasn’t quite given up on their ban plan yet.

TFB Behind the Gun #153: Spartan Hunting Thoughts w/ Rob Gearing

This week for TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast I’ve brought back on backcountry hunting legend and owner of Spartan Precision Equipment - Mr. Rob Gearing. Last time Rob and I talked about Spartan Precision Equipment’s forward-thinking, modular, and flexible bipods and tripods. This week I’ve brought Rob back on not just to talk bipods, but also to talk about one of his major passions - backcountry hunting. Backcountry hunting has been a topic I’ve been very interested in for a long time, I just never quite had the opportunity, training, or the time to engage in myself. Rob, on the other hand, has had decades of experience hunting across the globe in all sorts of environments and today he’s going to share some of his experience and wisdom with us in the hopes that more will take interest in the sport.

The Soviet Union Revisit of the GPMG Concept, the PK Series.

The earliest known example of the Soviet Union's development of a universal or general-purpose machine gun concept is the Degtyarev prototype in 1941. This was a tumultuous time for the Soviet Union as the war unfolded. As the conflict escalated, requirements shifted, and attention was diverted to other priorities. The Soviet Union needed a nudge to revisit this concept, which came in the form of the German MG34 and MG42 machine guns and the German military doctrine surrounding universal machine guns during the war.

Wheelgun Wednesday: Smith & Wesson 340 PD Review

Welcome back to another Wheelgun Wednesday. Today, I want to look at a true pocket rocket in the small revolver market. Everyone knows the legendary Airweight line from Smith & Wesson but not many know about the spicer variants like the 340 PD. In a market full of small semi-auto pistols, revolvers are still a valid option in various situations. I’ve had this 340 for the last few months and after a fair amount of rounds through the gun as well as a decent amount of time carrying it, I am ready to give you some insights into carrying this style of revolver. Let’s take a closer look at the Smith & Wesson 340 PD.

WOFT: A Unique Approach to Survivability Training

“Where Our Families Train” (WOFT), rebranded from West Orlando Firearms Training, isn’t your typical shooting range or training facility. Some people jokingly call it “Tactical Disneyland,” but that is really not the way to think of it (despite there being some “on-theme” art in one of the immaculate and bougie bathrooms). This isn’t just a playground for wannabe commandos—it’s a carefully designed space where families can learn life-saving skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Dead Air's Asylum Program: A Five-Year Journey

Around five years ago, I wrote one of my first TFB articles announcing Dead Air's Asylum program  - a unique loyalty system in an industry where customer rewards remain uncommon. The suppressor market typically focuses on products rather than customer retention, making Dead Air's tiered approach particularly interesting. While that first article could only outline the program's framework, five years of personal experience now provides insight into what customers actually receive at each level.

XINSURANCE: Protecting Gun Owners and Firearms Businesses

Before XINSURANCE invited me to attend firearms training with some of their staff at Where Our Families Train  (WOFT) , I knew almost nothing about them. I figured they were just another insurance provider and was confused about their relationship with the training facility and why they invited writers from the firearms world to join in. But after a few phone calls and spending two days in scenario training at WOFT (you can read about the facility and my experience training) involving firearms use, self-defense, range activities, and force-on-force, I quickly learned how critical specialized coverage is for gun owners and firearms businesses—and how XINSURANCE, as a broker, plays a unique role in providing that protection.

Balanced Recoil Concept - Overhyped or a Gamechanger?

Over the years, numerous efforts have been made to improve the controllability and accuracy of firearms, notably automatic weapons. One such approach is the Balanced Action, which predates World War I. By incorporating a synchronized counter-recoiling balancer, designers aimed to reduce the recoil impulse generated by the weapon's moving parts by balancing the operating system. This system was intended to lessen the felt recoil, ultimately enhancing accuracy and controllability during bursts and automatic fire. However, this improvement also increased the firearm's design complexity.

Innovation from Isolation: The SS-77 Machine Gun

During a tumultuous period in South Africa's history, the country faced international sanctions related to the apartheid government, which turned South Africa into an international pariah. These sanctions lasted from 1962 to 1991. During this time, South Africa was engaged in military conflicts, conducting counter-insurgency operations against communists and rebel forces from Angola in the 23-year-long South African Border War and the Rhodesian Bush War. This situation significantly strained the South African Defense Force's weapons, as the embargo prevented access to replacement parts or new arms.
