Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

Brian sits down with Mark Redl for a look at his journey from running a family auto salvage business to becoming one of the longest-tenured figures on the Colt shooting team. Mark got his first handgun in 1981 and discovered competition shooting as a way to keep his defensive skills sharp. Nineteen years ago, a conversation at SHOT Show led to him shooting for Colt, and eleven years ago Paul Patale brought him on full-time as product manager. Over the years he served as law enforcement manager, worked closely with engineers on the return of the snake guns (Cobra, Python, King Cobra, and Anaconda), and became the primary firearms tester at Colt's facility, once putting 1,000 rounds through an Anaconda in a single day. Mark walked through how the new snake guns kept the retro exterior while modernizing the internals with a V-spring action, better metallurgy, and a machine-fitted hand that produces consistent trigger pulls. He also discussed Colt's transition after the CZ UB acquisition, which brought financial stability, new machinery, and modernization while leaving Colt's leadership, heritage, and Hartford location intact. Other topics included his years running the shooting team (from Maggie Reese through Wyatt Gibson and the Williams sisters), Colt's relationships with law enforcement agencies like NYPD ESU and LAPD SWAT, the manufacturing of the M4 (he recently held serial number 1,000,000), Academy graduation 1911s, single action army production tied to SASS, and the challenges of finding shooters willing to run single-stack 1911s. Mark also shared thoughts on the state of competition shooting, the aging demographic in USPSA, and the need for organizations like NSSF to develop a "first competition" program alongside their first shot initiative. He closed by confirming interesting things coming across all three product lines at the next SHOT Show and offered to send the Colt Python giveaway directly to the winner's FFL.

Brian sits down with Alicia Garcia for a powerful conversation about her Second Amendment activism in Colorado. Alicia grew up shooting with her father in southern Colorado, and after he passed away in 2015, her uncle stole the family firearms. The sexist treatment she encountered rebuilding her collection sparked the creation of Boomstick Babe LTD and pushed her into teaching and activism. She walked through her seven-plus years of testifying at the Colorado State Capitol, learning the process alone, and eventually breaking through by speaking from the heart. Alicia is now the plaintiff in Garcia v. Polis, suing the state over its three-day waiting period, represented pro bono by Mountain States Legal Foundation. Her original attorney Barry Arrington left to join the DOJ, where he's now suing Colorado over its magazine and assault weapons bans. She's also a founding director of the Colorado Federal Firearms Licensee Association (CFFLA.org), which built its own AI called Umbrella to counter biased gun violence data, and she's launching Colorado Cares for Safety, a nonprofit focused on free safe storage, de-escalation training, mental health resources, medical training, and scholarships to help lower-income Coloradans navigate the state's new permit-to-purchase scheme. She shared the retaliation she's faced, including an FBI watch list holding up her suppressor purchases and employers refusing to hire her, along with the childhood story that shaped her toughness. Alicia teaches 30 to 50 students a week through Concealed Carry Classes of Denver and the United States Firearms Training Academy, and is one of fewer than 100 USCCA Defensive Pistol Program instructors nationwide. Brian closed by pledging to donate all of August's premium subscriber funds to Alicia's nonprofit efforts.

Tonight the guys give their after action report from the 2026 GOALS in Iowa. They talk about what they saw, what they liked, who they met, and their overall impressions of the show. Then they revisit some of the more controversial firearms they got their hands on, which mostly means arguing about the Stenzel SAK-21 and whether seeing it in person changed any minds.

On This EpisodeA $5,000 weapon-mounted rangefinder sounds ridiculous until a bad range costs you the shot. Matt returns from a National Guard sniper train-up at Camp Robinson and a match in Montana with side-by-side time behind the Maztech X4-LRF 15K and X4-LRF 2K Generation II. The question is not whether the expensive unit is impressive. It is what the extra money buys, who can use it, and where a lower-cost unit still gets the job done. They break down the practical difference between a 905 nm commercial laser and the 1534 nm system in the 15K, including target size, return speed, fog, smoke, dust, onboard Applied Ballistics, atmospherics, field zeroing, and a wired trigger beside the rifle's trigger. Matt shares what it took to range small steel around 800 to 850 yards and full-size silhouettes past 1,500, plus the simple mistake that can send the laser miles behind the target if the turret is not returned to zero. The conversation goes beyond one piece of gear. Cole and Matt get into the new MDT DRT chassis, a pre-production Leupold spotting scope, BX-6 Range HD binoculars, why guides should take glass seriously, and the budget workaround of pre-ranging a stand before a coyote or animal appears. The goal is not buying the most expensive setup. It is knowing the capability wall of what you already own and deciding whether the problem is worth paying to remove. Then the episode turns to wildfire responsibility, public-land cleanup, hunting rifles, recoil, cartridge availability, youth setups, and why a magnum is usually the wrong answer for a 300 to 400 yard deer. They cover 6.5 PRC, .22 Creedmoor, 6.5 Grendel, straight-wall cartridges, an experimental 10mm lever gun, upcoming hunts, Straight Jacket Armory's move, beginner rifle questions, industry misinformation, and the uncertainty around suppressor regulation. Detailed Episode Breakdown: Life and the return to the podcast: Cole and Matt catch up after a rough stretch of fires, travel, moves, work, and a long break between episodes. Camp Robinson and Montana: Matt recaps a week-long National Guard sniper train-up in Arkansas, followed by a sniper-focused match at the Thorson Ranch near White Sulphur Springs, Montana. Wildfire damage: Cole describes losing a cabin and seeing his ranch burn, then explains how loose soil, ash, monsoon rain, and missing vegetation turn the next storm into years of sludge and flooding. Shooter responsibility: They separate responsible target shooting from preventable fire risks such as old steel-jacketed surplus ammunition, tracers, exploding targets, tannerite, and shooting trash during dry conditions. Public-land stewardship: The conversation returns to the basic rule that shooters should know what they are firing, choose safe conditions, clean up the range, and stop giving land managers a reason to close access. The field setup: Matt ran a 6.5 Creedmoor built around a Lone Peak action in the magnesium MDT DRT chassis, with an Area 419 mount, MDT CKYE-POD, and a weapon-mounted Maztech rangefinder. Maztech 15K versus 2K: The 15K delivered faster, tighter returns on small and distant targets, while the 2K remained a practical option for larger targets, terrain features, and shooters who do not need the same adverse-condition performance. Ranging workflow: They discuss zeroing the laser, validating the return, integrating a ballistic profile, keeping the rifle turret at zero while ranging, and getting a range and hold without leaving the firing position. Who needs the expensive tool: A professional user, timed competitor, predator hunter, or hunter carrying a rare tag may be paying for speed and certainty. A recreational shooter can often pre-range terrain and keep a simple dope reference instead. Glass is part of the job: They explain why low-light clarity and a dependable range matter to guides and hunters, especially when the best animal appears at first light and there is no time to fight poor optics. Hunting cartridges and recoil: The episode pushes back on ultra-light magnums for moderate-distance deer hunting. They discuss 6.5 PRC, 6.5 Grendel, .277 Fury, .22 Creedmoor, and choosing a cartridge the shooter can control. Availability matters: A hunt is a bad place to discover that a specialty cartridge, brass, or ammunition cannot be replaced locally. Build around the mission, but account for what happens when something is forgotten or damaged. Youth rifle setup: Cole and Matt argue for manageable recoil, correct fit, and enjoyable early experiences instead of handing a young shooter a hard-kicking rifle and hoping they learn through punishment. 10mm lever-gun experiment: Matt shares his testing with a suppressed 10mm Marlin lever gun, the difference between pistol and carbine behavior, pressure signs, and why he will not publish experimental load data. What is next: Straight Jacket Armory is moving into a larger building with studio space. Future LRT topics include first-rifle decisions, beginner scope questions, youth hunting setups, technology versus primitive-weapon rules, industry changes, and suppressor policy. Practical Decision Rules •     Do not buy the most expensive rangefinder because the number looks impressive. Buy it when faster, more certain ranging changes the result of your match, hunt, or professional job.•     If a high-end system is outside the budget, pre-range terrain, write down the distances, and know the hold before the animal or target appears.•     Treat glass and ranging as one system. A clean image does not help if the range is wrong, and a strong laser does not help if you cannot identify the target at first light.•     Match the cartridge to the animal, distance, recoil tolerance, and ammunition supply. More energy is not automatically a better choice if the shooter cannot control the rifle.•     Set younger shooters up with correct fit and manageable recoil. Confidence and repeatable hits matter more than handing them the biggest cartridge available.•     During fire season, verify the ammunition and target, avoid ignition risks, pick the conditions, and clean up the site. Access disappears when shooters act like the mess belongs to somebody else. Gear and Technology Discussed Maztech X4-LRF 15K and X4-LRF 2K Generation II: https://www.maztechindustries.com/product-page/x4-lrf Weapon-mounted ranging with an integrated ballistic solver and onboard environmental sensors. The episode compares the two laser systems in field use. MDT DRT Chassis System: https://mdttac.com/blogs/read/shot-show-2026-mdt-launches-drt-chassis-system A folding magnesium chassis designed for hunting, thermal, and night-vision setups. Leupold BX-6 Range HD 10x42mm: https://www.leupold.com/bx-6-range-hd-rangefinder-binocular Rangefinding binoculars discussed for optical clarity, fast ranging, ballistic support, and field use.

In this episode, we discuss the Glock gen 6! I know, I know, we've talked a lot about Glock lately, but it's our job (and curse). Specifically, we talk about the optics cut. We also discuss the new ATF Director (possibly), lightweight hunting guns, and not much more. We discussed the Glock gen 6 for a long time.  [Recorded on Dec 8, 2025] Enjoy -S_S

ATF – N.D. Texas Strikes Down NFA Registration Requirements for Suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, AOWs Gun-rights groups are celebrating a federal ruling striking down NFA registration requirements for suppressors, SBRs, SBSs and AOWs. U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix (Northern District of Texas) ruled in *Jensen v. ATF* and *Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF* that NFA registration, application, approval, and enforcement provisions for suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and any other weapons (AOWs) exceed Congress's powers once the associated tax was effectively zeroed out. Multiple gun-rights organizations hailed the decision as a major Second Amendment victory and a step toward dismantling the National Firearms Act. A seven-day stay expires August 12, 2026, with appeals likely to the Fifth Circuit; parallel SAF-backed cases remain pending. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): Nationwide implications for owners and manufacturers of suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs; ruling applies to enforcement of NFA registration requirements by ATF across the United States, though limited to the specific plaintiffs and likely to face immediate appeal. Impact: Decision holds that the NFA registration regime lacks constitutional basis without a tax, potentially invalidating core regulatory provisions; groups including FPC, GOA, and CCRKBA describe it as affirming the NFA's unconstitutionality and a historic win, with possible broader effect if upheld on appeal to the Fifth Circuit. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: NFA registration and approval requirements for the listed items are struck down in this district-court ruling as exceeding congressional authority post-tax elimination; a short stay allows time for appeal, leaving the ultimate fate of the NFA provisions pending further litigation. Reviews Review: Alex W from California Review from Alex W Reviewing the cast as singers/bands. Shawn: Taylor Swift. Technically very good at what he does. But we hear so much of him that we all find ourselves wishing he would just go away once in a while. Nick: Nickelback. Honestly, we all thought he'd be dead by now. Nobody fully understands what keeps him going. But, somehow we all end up nodding along every time he comes on. Jeremy: Five Finger Death Punch. I really gotta explain this one? It's in the name. Savage: *insert random mumble rapper because I dont care enough to look one up* Nobody knows what he's saying. And wait, that's supposed to be music? Aaron: Kurt Cobain. Because, we can only hope. Review: Wes Sconsen from Wisconsin Blessings to all of you. Jeremy, go full stache. It's not creepy and you would make that shit look damn good. Sincerely, Wes Sconsen Review: Richard "Big Dick" Smoker from NJ Wrote by AI, with specific criteria by me. We Like Shooting is the podcast equivalent of discovering the group chat should've never been given microphones. Jeremy rocks a mustache that looks like it escaped a 1970s cop show and refuses to return to its natural habitat. Shawn somehow manages to host an entire podcast while carrying the weight of… well, let's just say gravity is doing him no favors. Nick has turned “I think I just trusted a fart” into a recurring personality trait. And Savage continues broadcasting from a state that seems determined to ban fun one regulation at a time. Despite all of that—or maybe because of it—the show is hilarious. You'll get firearms talk, gear reviews, industry news, and enough insults directed at each other to make you wonder why they're still friends. Nobody is safe, especially the hosts.

Double Tap Double Tap - Ep 474 August 10, 2026 Presented by This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Foxtrot Mike (Code: WLSISLIFE) C&G Holsters (Code: WLSISLIFE) Gideon Optics (Code: WLSISLIFE) Midwest Industries (Code: WLSISLIFE) Blue Alpha Giveaways!! GAW   Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public   Show Titles   Dear WLS Question from Ben B from Kansas Ben B (TLDR from last week: Bought a Bergara B14-HMR that wouldn't group and had a crooked-looking scope. After replacing the rail, rings, and checking the scope, a gunsmith finally discovered the rifle's mounting holes were drilled at a 45° angle from the factory. The manufacturing defect that made proper alignment impossible.)Continuation of the story from where it cut off last week- We looked in there and about half the threaded hole in the receiver was visible through the rail. Well shit… We tried a different rail and it was the same. I decided to contact Bergara to see if they would fix it. I started a warranty case with them and they sent an RMA form and asked me to ship the rifle to them. I sent it over and assumed that everything would be straightened out. After several weeks with zero updates, I called and asked for some kind of information. I even gave them exact instructions on how to replicate the problem. They said they would update me when they got it into their system and when they got started on the inspections. After they had it for a month they finally shipped it back and their conclusion was that the rifle was in spec. About a million emails later and both sides being stubborn, I gave up. Obviously they weren't going to fix it and I was at my wit's end. I brought it back to the gunsmith and had him drill and re tap the receiver holes to a big enough size to line it up. In spec my ass. Ever since then the Bergara name has left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not really on social media and don't know how to get through how bad of an experience I had with them because I think people need to know. I am sorry for the long story but I already left a lot of details out. Just remember you asked for this Shawn Question from Bama Chris I know this will take forever And I'm expecting And answer sometime in about 2029 … Just found out the other day from Savage that my current credit card provider that used to be discover card and is now Capital One is a bunch of anti-gun Cucks … I need to cancel My over 20-year account With this credit card company Actually I have two accounts Cancel them both And find a credit card company That is 2a friendly Any suggestions… This is for Customer-Based Credit line Not Business related Processing. Wouldn't man if it was A car that instead of me getting cash back All of that went towards donations Second Amendment Foundation or other Friendly OrganizationsThanks Five squares second call defense is awesome High Point rules and Jeremy is my spirit animal Question from Anonymous Coward from Kentucky Question from Coward with anonymity from Virginia. I know you have probably said it a hundred times, but I have no experience with 3d printing. What is the best starter printer that's user friendly and capable. Great show, thanks! Question from Peter J from WA Peter J from WA, Dear WLS, I'm interested in either buying a factory ported pistol or having one I own custom ported. Is it really worth the hype? Im debating on either getting a CZ ported P10c or getting my CZ P10F ported. Use case would be more for range but would carry the ported p10c since I carry a non ported one currently. I more than with do what Jeremy or Nick tell me what to do. Thanks Question from eTexNerd from Texas Dear wls, from eTexNerdFirst a big Ole howdy from the upper east side of Texas to Tom Bowers! Question: once Bowers group is running production in Texas, won't I be able to buy his suppressors without federal redtape? I think Texas passed a law to allow intrastate transfer of suppressots made within Texas. I'm a little vague on the legal details but figure Tom being in the industry would know more. Maybe the cartoon savage legal hawk can explain this too. VIVA LA TEJAS!

In Episode 25, GOALS: Rice Cracker Range Day, ARDREW, DAN, Gat Lab, and guest Dutch try to piece together their Des Moines trip. They linger on One Horse risking it all with factory forced-reset triggers, then get completely derailed by a West Virginia gunsmith who hands out rice crackers and builds a 6mm ARC that shoots tighter than their attention spans. Gat falls hard for the handmade Sea Spider suppressor so quiet that people kept talking through full magazines, while the rest of the crew bickers about empty tubes, crossbolt safeties, and every new can company claiming to have reinvented physics. A short, careful note about the recent NFA district-court ruling is quickly buried under media-day photos, vendor chats, and the usual awkward creator networking. By the end they're still baffled that ordinary shooters somehow walked away with media credentials and a PowerPoint full of range pictures.

In this episode of the Live Fire Media Show Joe from Shooting Gallery joins us along with Cory returning. We check in to see if Hunter has watched the new Masters of the Universe movie on Amazon Prime, set expectations (it's more cartoon than live-action), and roast Hunter for watching the wrong He-Man film. Cory loved The Odyssey while I'm still waiting for it to hit streaming — plus a quick take on the solid film Shutter Island. Gun side: the Mini-14 project is officially underway (chop or don't chop… the sky is the limit). I've 3D-printed a magwell that turns the GHM9 even more into a Pulse Rifle look-alike. We also explain why the UMP's ergos are just okay at best, why the Stribog is the better gun, and why the Tommy Gun is cool but nowhere near the gold standard of submachine guns.

Episode 104 was a fun one. We were joined by our friend Rob from @madsciencetactical and kicked things off with some New Business, catching up on what everyone has been shooting, testing, building, and messing with lately. Darius gives his thoughts after getting more time behind his M&P with the Dimebag porting and, maybe even more importantly, his Staccato is finally back. Josh talks about testing Staccato remanufactured ammo, a simple but awesome 3D-printed paster dispenser, and the TandemKross Manticore X lower receiver. Rob jumps in with some of what he has been working with too, including Spec Mud lube and his experiences with new pistols from Tisas and BUL Armory. Of course, Episode 104 was also the night of our big MacBroz giveaway. Huge thanks to @welikeshooting, @madsciencetactical, @otistechnology, and @osightworld for helping us put together some awesome prizes, and congratulations to @amazingjsports on the win! We also threw out an idea that could be a lot of fun for 2027: Should @macbroz host a competition shoot after @guncon? A chance to get creators, brands, friends, and the community together after the convention for some friendly competition sounds pretty damn good to us. Let us know if you'd be interested.

Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! Today Professor Paul will be joined by his friends Bill Frady from Lock-N-Load Radio and Louis Caras of LCAR Concepts. A 21 year old man almost lost his life due to needless gun fiddling performed in his car while his girlfriend videoed him. Fortunately for him, a trained first responder saved his life with a tourniquet. Paul and Bill discuss this at length as there are many lessons to be learned. Once more, evil has appeared amongst us, not late at night in a bad neighborhood, but in the middle of the day in a shopping center. The rampage killing attack at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho is yet another example or reason why we train and carry. Louis joins Paul and they will examine that situation at length and consider the many lessons that we can learn.

On this episode of AK-47 Radio, the comrades head behind enemy lines to revisit the early-2000s war film Behind Enemy Lines. They break down the rifles, machine guns, and military hardware featured throughout the movie, separate the fact from the Hollywood fiction, and explain why the film probably gave you a wildly unrealistic idea of just how easy it is to shoot a fast-moving aircraft out of the sky. If you've ever wondered how much of the movie holds up—and how much exists purely because explosions look cool—grab your favorite surplus rifle and tune in.

236: On this episode, Steiner drops a MOS 2.0 and CCI puts out a new .22LR defense round the Uppercut. And then you guys really came through with a TON of questions!

Episode 24 finds the self-proclaimed "gravy seals" of Rimfire Radio broadcasting live ahead of GOALS to obsess over all the firearms and gear they can't afford. The hosts painstakingly scroll through the event exhibitor list, taking jabs at everything from saturated AR-15 markets and questionable 10mm carry choices to Turkish imports and "tactical" leaf-blower suppressors. Between side-tangents on Obama, fake IDs, and dodging flock cameras, they take viewer notes on which vendor booths to harass for free samples and live content. Ultimately, the crew marvels that event organizers let them in as media in the first place, promising to make absolute fools of themselves on Range Day.

AGENCY BRIEF: STREET SWEEPER / USAS-12 DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE RECLASSIFICATIONWhat this really was: In 1994, ATF took lawfully owned shotguns and shoved them into the NFA “destructive device” category. No vote in Congress. No new statute. Just an agency ruling that turned specific 12-gauge shotguns into the same legal category as grenades. The targets were the Striker-12, the Street Sweeper, and the USAS-12. The Striker and Street Sweeper used revolving cylinders. The USAS-12 was a semi-auto, magazine-fed shotgun. They all fired ordinary 12-gauge shells, the same kind of ammunition people put through hunting pum

I am on the verge of checking mouth feel with my daily carry every time he goes ballistic.. reminds me of Jamie from progressive insurance commercials. #wlsislife #fuckSavage #agency171forever! Question from Josh from Texas Are newer production Winchester 94's in 30-30 good for plinking and fun range use? I heard I should buy an older production model. Curious to your thoughts.Josh WINNER Question from Anonymous Coward from OH So I have a 5″ Springfield Prodigy DS 1911. Sometimes, I conceal carry it with an IWB C&G Holster. The gun seems to ride too low in my waistline. I have tried both their plastic IWB clips and their metal Alpha clips. Are there any belt clips that you guys know of that will allow the gun and holster to ride a little bit higher. Thank you Question from Anonymous Coward from California I'm looking to up my 18650 stash and need some input from the almighty guntoob lords. I've got a surefire M640 DFT turbo scout and a streamlight protac (with arisaka adapter and surefire pressure switch tail cap – may matter for battery length?) I don't want to pay bullshit streamlight/surefire battery prices. Do you guys have any favorite cheaper alternatives? I know I need a protected high drain battery, but looking for something I can stock up on and not break the bank. I just got some keeppower 3500 mAh batteries from illumn for my fenix lights for $9/piece but I don't think they support high draw applications… or would they work? Any steering in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! #yéremyisafuddp.s. I have an XTAR charger so I don't need any fancy usb charge top bullshit p.p.s. Do you guys have any favorite battery storage containers for taking on hunting trips that keep them dry and protected but not take up too much room? I don't have the ability to 3d print, so looking to buy. Question from Chad from Michigan Up North Chad from Michigan I'm converting an AR in 5.56 to 300 blackout. What is a good barrel and block combo? It will be a suppressor host and basically strictly subsonic. (Because super sonic 300blk is retarded) Something like 8 to 12 inches. Also, suggestions on a big ol' quiet can under $800? Thanks, Question from Anonymous Coward from Arizona I wrote a while ago asking for recommendations on a light 6.5 Creedmoor rifle for hunting. In that question, I mentioned I wasn't interested in a Bergara after my first experience with them. I'm writing in again to elaborate as requested. It's kind of a long story so buckle up.I bought a Bergara B14-HMR in 6.5 CM and was pretty excited as it was my first “higher end” bolt action, or so I thought. I took it out shooting a few times and just couldn't seem to get it to group well and I was running out of adjustment on my scope. I was a bit confused but I figured id just double check all my mounting. So as I was cleaning it after that range trip, I looked at it from the front and thought the scope looked a little crooked. I got about a hundred second opinions and sure enough, something was off. I thought “there's no way the scope or the gun could be built that wrong”. I warrantied the scope rail and the rings as well as replaced them twice, but neither fixed the problem. So I started talking to the scope manufacturer and sent it in to be checked. They sent it back with a green light and said there was no problems. At this point I was several weeks into tracing down problems and emailing manufacturers so it pissed me off. I finally decided it must be the gun. I took it to a gunsmith and he started mounting a rail on it and everything finally became clear. Instead of starting all the screws a little then going through and torquing them like I had done, he installed the rear screws fully. One of the front screws was then dropped and immediately tried going in at a 45 degree Gun Industry News Thefirearmblog Steiner MPS 2.0 Micro Pistol Sight Steiner has released the MPS 2.0, an updated enclosed-emitter red dot sight building on the original MPS with reinforced design, improved ergonomics, larger buttons, easier maintenance, and extended battery life.

The MacBroz are taking it back to the '90s with a little Pokémon talk—because who didn't grow up trying to catch 'em all? Then Josh and Darius break down their latest United States Concealed Carry League match results. They discuss what went well, where they struggled, what they learned, and the areas they need to improve before the next competition. Darius shares an update on his new M&P featuring Dime Bag porting from Monsoon Tactical and a special custom Cerakote finish. Josh also gives the latest on his Staccato CS project, including porting from Pew Pew CNC and a new optic from Gideon Optics. The guys also get into the practical value of competition shooting. Matches provide a real litmus test for your skills, expose weaknesses that may not appear during normal range sessions, and force you to perform outside your comfort zone. Improvement requires staying humble, accepting where you fall short, and putting in the work instead of remaining comfortable. Plus, we explain how to enter the MacBroz giveaway.

Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! Words mean things. Today we have a very special guest, Louis Caras of LCAR Training. What is our accepted definition of training? How does that differ from the word “practice?” When we go out and shoot on our own, are we training, or practicing, or are we just turning money into noise? How can we learn and improve our skills, tactics and our overall mindset?  Which is more important, repetitions or rehearsals? Is there a difference between the two? Should we be going fast or should we be working on the method? This is a show not to be missed by those who are on the path toward martial enlightenment.

In this episode we discuss the late Sam Neill and some of our favorites—Event Horizon, In the Mouth of Madness, Dead Calm, and Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (yeah we know its not a Sam Neill, but you will get it)—before jumping into Falling Skies (fun show, but the gun handling and mixed-mag squads leave something to be desired) and the eternal “still good to some, trash to others” debate around The Walking Dead. We also check out Undead Chronicles, the zombie FPS with slow-moving undead that's currently soliciting feedback on its latest visuals. More B&T GHM9 (Hunter loves it when I bring this up), B&T FRT is installed runs well! I received in some bullets, 147-grain 9mm and 158-grain .38 Special ammo. Just gearing up to load more subsonic ammo. With vacation approaching we talk defense/escape gun choices and the eternal struggle of wanting to shoot at the beach… only to settle for dry-fire practice.

He served over four years in federal prison before being freed.. He tells us what it's like to be a political prisoner.

Tonight the guys look ahead to the 2026 Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit (GOALS), talking about what they're excited to see, who they're hoping to meet, and why events like this matter to the firearms community. Then, in true AK Radio fashion, the conversation goes completely off the rails as they dive into their deep and unapologetic disdain for Flock cameras, and why it's basically the KGB we have at home!

In this episode, we discuss: a legal battle update, the state of the death penalty in this country, Glock genV (obviously), “Carolina Squat”, bullpups, 45 GAP, and much more. Please enjoy responsibly. -S_S

With printed holsters thinking of getting one. So which model of bambu should I be looking at? Also do I need AMS? I am cheap so probably only 2 models I am seeing so comes down to do I need or want the enclosed one. Question from Alex W. from Florida Dear WLS: Hey y'all. If all of our hopes and dreams were to come true and we could get mail order machine guns to our doors, what (other than boatloads of fun) do you think the most valid use for civilian full auto is? I was thinking maybe a select fire/burst fire subgun for home defense? Belt feds on pigs? Alex W. Question from Dependable Don from New York Dear Wls Dependable Don Why don't you just invite Lenny on so the Jeremy could just point to him when he he needs the needs a n bomb dropped? Question from Rob K from Connecticut Rob K From ConnecticutDear WLS The State of Connecticut has banned Glock and Glock style pistols starting on October 1st 2026. I don't own one, but now that the state is telling me I can't buy one, I need to spite purchase. I'm interested in picking up 2 Glock models and 2 Glock style pistols. If you were only able to own 2 Glocks, what would your suggestions be for gen and model? Also, what make and model of 2 Glock style pistols. Thanks guys. #stuckbehindenemylines WINNER Question from Travis from ILLINOIS Dear WLS this is Travis from not the people's republic of Illinois. Love the show you and all the content. Shawn over the past few shows you have mentioned your Kelby rifle. What do you like and not like. Would you do anything different. I personally don't know anyone who owns one and looking to purchase one for potential PRS matches. Thanks Travis Question from Anonymous Coward from Florida Dear WLS: Hey y'all. I was thinking, with the growing apparent popularity of “pdw” setups for pistols, I was wondering why no manufacturer seems to produce a factory firearm that fits that sort of form factor (other than sig selling factory 320's already in a raider chassis). The closest things I can think of currently would be the B&T TP9 or their USW. But I'm wondering why no one else is tapping into the whole oversized 9mm pistol with a brace/stock market trend. Has the industry just not caught up or is there a reason companies are not moving in that direction? Gun Industry News Guns CMP to Sell Military Surplus M14 Rifles The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) announced it will sell a limited number of surplus U.S. military M14 rifles (7.62 NATO) produced 1959-1965 by H&R, Springfield Armory, TRW and Winchester.
