We previously covered some personal opinions on such concealed carry topics as holster requirements, self-defense options, among some others. In this second article, we will continue to cover some concealed carry techniques and attitudes that have worked well for me, [Read More…]
We’ve covered a number of products and some techniques when it comes to concealed carry at TFB, but something that I think is important are certain methods and practices that make carrying a concealed firearm safer and more efficient. The following are several points [Read More…]
The following is the opinion of the author, and his alone. It does not represent the views of The Firearm Blog or any other TFB staff member. But I bet it represents the views of many of our readers. I think SIG owes the gun world some answers. We’ve seen behavior [Read More…]
Coming across this video of female Indian Army soldiers making excellent time with disassembling their INSAS rifles better with one hand than I could with two was very exciting to watch. I’m not a stranger to seeing or attempting a one-handed weapon disassembly, probably the most impressive [Read More…]
In what perhaps many fanboys of the two platforms are viewing as the ultimate sacrilege, photos of a proposed design incorporating an AK-style safety onto an AR-15 have been setting the forums ablaze with voices of dissent the loudest while those of reason are largely [Read More…]
Honestly, I’m a little tired of seeing the cult of the AR-15 preach its superiority as an “ergonomic” platform. While the AR-15 is an excellent weapon, and lord knows I own many of them, it’s not the superior choice for a weapon platform in a sea [Read More…]
As many readers here know, I’ve been a long time Glock shooter in competition. My G34 in its various iterations has been showcased on TFB through reviews of various components as companies submit products for testing. That, or I take unilateral action and upgrade [Read More…]
Have you ever heard that salesperson tell you “It’s just like brand X, the Navy Seals tested it and it passed with flying colors.” I know that leaves a lot of the general gun buying public in a bit of awe and they buy the line of BS spewing from the [Read More…]
Released to a collective “Huh?”, Leupold’s D-EVO scope is certainly a step somewhere away from the status quo. Various Subject Matter Expert’s will argue that the scope is a solution looking for a problem and others will laud its ability to think [Read More…]
Like it or not, Brass To Face or BTF malfunctions are not a thing. Sure, it is an annoying thing to happen when you are at the range but it is far from a malfunction. I am not going to dive into the reason for the brass to be ejected towards the face, there are [Read More…]
TFB’s reviews are typically the most popular articles and videos that TFB produces. I can say, definitively, that we take great care and pride in testing firearms for our readers. We always work to be as thorough as possible, covering the highs and lows of the [Read More…]
This is a matter that I don’t see a good reason to spend much time on, so I’ll keep it brief. One thing that I find curious in the firearms world is the rejection of the term “accidental discharge” (often shortened “AD”) referring to [Read More…]
Heresy. BURN HIM! I can feel the hate coming from each one of you right now, but hear me out. I think I have a pretty good reason for making the statement that machine guns are highly overrated for recreational shooting. In a military, police, or even self-defense [Read More…]
Dear Non-Gun Owner, I am writing you today to discuss firearm ownership in America. Fear not – I will not talk down to you, belittle you or call you names. For instance, I could have used the term “anti-gun” instead of “non-gun” in the [Read More…]
Before anyone leaps on “not politics” this does not look at the political issue, only the journalistic one. Released to the collective groan of the gun community, Katie Couric’s Under the Gun “documentary” has come under the proverbial [Read More…]
There is no place for a manual safety on a modern defensive handgun. There, I said it. And I make this statement not as an expert pistoleer or gunfighter (although in my head I am both). I base this opinion solidly on common sense alone. Ok, before you start throwing [Read More…]
While politics and legal analysis often go hand in hand, often the legal side can transcend daily politics. The Social Science Research Network is currently hosting a short, but fascinating analysis of the legal term “dangerous or unusual weapons” which has [Read More…]
