Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Dependable Don - So what holsters do you run with your fanny pack? I got the qilo prison wallet which is Velcro backed so crossbreed has holsters that work but not crazy about it. Switch to a blapha or are Velcro backed holsters acceptable? Adam W - I am looking for a red dot that can stand up to a .357 magnum Chippa Rhino. I have put 2 other dots on it I had laying around and now I just want one I don't have worry about. I was thinking the Judge XL from Gideon. Would this be a good choice? The use case for this gun is local matches and range toy. Also, I am looking for a holster for this setup. The Chippa Rhino is the 60ds model with the pic rail in front of the cylinder. Your help is much appreciated. Scanks Adam Luis G - I am in Florida and do a lot of lake bank fishing. What would be a good caliber to carry and what type of rounds to use against alligators? Should I run a couple of snake shot rounds first for moccasins then the gator rounds? Jack B - Matt diniman just did a kickstarter campaign where 2 of the reward tiers included getting killed in a future DCC book. If you were get this prize for another cast member, which option would you choose and how would they die? Option, They are a crawler who gets killed. Option 2, They are a monster or NPC that gets killed by Donut and T-bagged by mongo. Ny(e)gerski - "This one is mostly for Mr. Saggins. Scroto, what are you signed up to hunt this year? I feel like we haven't had any 47 minute long hunting stories in a while and are due for one or 2. P.S.....are you sure you and Kevin from Q aren't kindred spirits?.....I can't tell who tells longer hunting stories... Pee Pee S.....i had something for here, but forgot....and now got you to say pee pee...." Eli K - I am building a new house soon. It will have a vault room in the basement. The floor, ceiling, and all four walls will be poured concrete. Other than that, I'm leaving it unfinished after framing and insulation, and I will take it form there. It will have HVAC and electrical available. What else should I do? Seems like a good idea to put a drain in. I'm tentatively planning to do Lockdown walls. Anything other suggestions? Jerry F - Do either of you guys have any idea where i can find Accurate Nitro 100NF for sale? I've been checking all of the reputable dealers online (Brownells, Midway usa, ammoseek etc) and I haven't been able to find any 4 or 8lb bottles all summer. I shoot trap every weekend with my dad and our local league just started and I commonly go through a hundred plus rounds each weekend. I believe accurate is a division of Hodgdens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And in your opinions where is all the powder going? Love the show, thank you. Jeremy is not a cunt, he just doesn't have any patience for stupidity. John J - I've recently realized I'm a fan of both Jeremy and Aaron. Which probably means I'm either deeply complex, or there's something wrong with me. Thoughts? Also, would love to see some more Dangerous Freedom videos. I am looking forward to the red dot - magnifier comparison. One of my AR's has a CompM5 with a 3x magnifier. I want to love it for what the combo cost, but I find myself removing the magnifier more often than not. Thanks for the show.   The winner of this week's swag pack is John J!

Double Tap Episode 441 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Blue Alpha, Midwest Industries, Gideon Optics, Primary Arms, Die Free Co., and Mitchell Defense   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 441! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS ThreeRaccoons InnaTrenchCoat - What programs do Shawn, Nick and Savage use for 3D modeling? Are they subscription based or free? I would like to dive into 3D modeling but don't really want to pay a subscription. A one-time fee would be okay i suppose. Tuul Steele - "I was thinking Hard the other day about that long, cylindrical reciprocating part of an Assault Railer - 15 and it got me curious (bi-curious) about steel selection for a BCG. YES, I know all steel is not created equally Jeremy, but in the case of the BCG which does the cast recommend and which is just more expensive for no reason. Not talking coatings, although you can add that to the pot, I am mainly referring to the materials; Carpenter 158 aka "The Thing", 9310 aka "The Beverly Hills BCG", or S7 Tool Steel aka "The Audi Tool". Love the show and the cast. You guys are keeping me topside on long days. Keep up the good work. Also just buy Aaron a huffy with a baseball card in the spokes and call it a day. Toss in a bottle of Malort for the basket on the handle bars. #WLSisLife #shootstraight" Plow Guy Dave - What do you think will be the cool, new trend at SHOT Show this year? Do you think that there will be an influx of NFA stuff like SBR's, SBS's and suppressors since the One Big Beautiful Bill will be active? I know you guys don't go to SHOT anymore, but what would you like to see come out? John B - So I was listening to the AR-15 podcast and Dauly keeps saying you need to buy mags in “generational wealth” volume. What is it that you guys think is the appropriate number of mags to have for your rifle and pistol? Do I really need to have 10 mags minimum? Gus Gus - Hello people and Aaron, What one thing do you each think we do or use or teach in the firearms space that we will one day look back on and say “wow, I can't believe we let that happen” (besides letting Aaron speak). Could be anything from gear to training to lawfare practices. For myself, I think open emitter red dots on concealed carry guns will be looked at as weird and genX level fuddery and anyone who uses one will always feel like explaining it away like Jeremy does with iron sights. Thanks guys and Aaron Unfit for Human Consumption - What software would you recommend for tracking a gun collection? I have (only) a few dozen guns, and have been using "NMCollector" since about 2005, and it meets my needs. It is now $15/year which is very reasonable, and a "lifetime" activation is less than 85-bucks. A quick search on the interwebs for alternatives reveals "ArmoryBook" which is $200/yr for up to 50 records, and "GunTrack" which is $100/yr for up to 100 records; both are way over budget for my needs. Are there other softwares I'm not aware of that you'd recommend? I don't keep pictures generally, and all I really need to track is make, model, caliber, description, year & country of manufacture, source, cost, appraised value, etc for insurance records and for my wife to cash in on this "401(G)uns" fund when I'm gone (hopefully not for several decades). Or should I just create an Excel spreadsheet? Sunshine Shooter - Forced Reset triggers seem to be a commercially available thing now, but I'm having trouble keeping track of what is out there. What forced reset triggers/super safeties do you recommend I look into getting for a poor man's MP5 I'm planning on putting together? Matthew P - Just bought a 5 inch VFM-9 from Foxtrot Mike. What accessories would you add to this if you are going to keep it as a backpack gun? Suppressor? Flip up sights and/or red dot/prism? sling? anything else?   The winner of this week's swag pack is Gus Gus!

In this live Red Delta Project Q&A, Matt digs into a big 2025 lesson that came out of writing Beautiful Strength: diet and exercise can absolutely influence how you look, feel, and perform—but if you chase a goal blindly, your habits can backfire and give you the opposite result. Using a “hit the target” analogy (and a few colorful side stories), he explains why your results come from achieving the right objective, not from grinding harder, eating “cleaner,” or following a program with blind loyalty.From there, the episode turns into a rapid-fire Q&A on practical training topics: whether you need to go to failure with Double Tap Training, how to balance intensity with reps and rest, walking as conditioning, yoga vs direct flexibility work, knee stability, building arms with compounds, grip changes, circuit training for endurance, and more. There's also a surprisingly thoughtful section on accepting hair loss—framed through confidence, control, and reframing the story you tell yourself.

Is your smart tech really yours? Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into the frustrations and humour of 2025's connected world—covering guide dog training, IRobot's bankruptcy, Ramblio's new audio limits, and the quirks of digital payments.This episode of Double Tap takes listeners on a festive but thought‑provoking ride through tech and accessibility. Steven and Shaun open with the challenge of gift‑giving in an age of Amazon deliveries and disposable pyjamas, joking about vouchers and the demise of sentimental presents. The conversation shifts to cashless living, with insights on why Apple Pay and Google Pay are safer than bank cards, and the struggles of convincing parents to adopt mobile payments. The hosts then tackle IRobot's bankruptcy and what it means for smart home accessibility. They explore the growing problem of cloud‑dependent devices that can stop working if a company folds, and debate the need for local‑first solutions and right‑to‑repair laws. Ramblio, the voice‑based social app, is also in the spotlight as its creator caps recordings at ten minutes to manage soaring storage costs, sparking discussion on subscriptions and community support. Personal moments shine through—from guide dog training and handling public interactions to heartfelt emails from listeners grappling with vision loss.

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Text Dear WLS or Reviews. +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Operative Enthalpy - Dear WLSWhat are your thoughts on a tunable gas block, like the one from Odin Works, versus a standard gas block, or an adjustable gas block. Is it a solution looking for a problem that should be solved by having a proper gas port size in your barrel, or is it a somewhat valuable option for tuning a range or hunting gun to function smoothly for general operating conditions.Operative Enthalpy Anonymous Coward from GA - Do you think the top part of a mermaid also tastes like fish or that it would actually be red meat? Would there be a solid line where the meat changes in their body or would it kind of blend? Could you make a surf and turf platter with one carcass? Fisher Cat - Hey guys, was thinking of getting a shotgun. In your opinion should I get a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500? Both of them are at my LGS for $400 and I'm torn between which would be better for home defense and hunting. Also, would a shotgun be a good weapon to have in an event where society collapses? Thanks keep up the good fight #ssb#ShootStraight Gaston Glock - Is the aftermarket beaver tail for Glocks to adjust the grip angle to be more like a 1911 a gimmick or would it actually be something to consider if you like how a 1911 feels in your hand. Zac C - Hey guys, just wanted to give an update on what I went with for my son's first real gun for his 13th birthday. Went with the ruger American gen 2 .243 20” barrel partly because of the removable LOP on the stock, then when he's bigger he can still use it as a full size gun. Added an sig buckmaster 3x9 that my brother got him paired with some leupold rings. Thanks for the opinions that I might hear before his next birthday. Shute str8 notes in 90-120 business days Scott G - I noticed we don't talk about Brownells anymore. Are they no longer a sponsor? Matt A - 2 questions…I have a comp'd g43x and am thinking about changing out the guide rod and spring to a lighter weight than the 17# oem spring. Is the a difference or an advantage in using a single spring guide rod set vs dual spring sets? Ammo used is defensive 124 gr jhp. In regards to ammo, what's the benefit to using +p ammo in a comp'd handgun and will the extra pressure negate what the compensator is supposed to do?Thanks and love the show.   Chris M - How much does the Gideon Guardeon 1-8x FFP scope weigh? My deer getter, a 16"" .450 bush hamster AR, with a 19oz Dead Air Primal is already getting kind of heavy. I have a swampfox trihawk on it now, and while it's nice, it's also a pound and if I could get more zooms for the same weight, I want to go back to an LPVO The winner of this week's swag pack is Zac C!

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Jon Patton and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Jon Patton - https://theguncollective.com/ Dear WLS Hunter M - Wanting to upgrade my Ender 3 Pro to a Bambu X1C, but I am hesitant to buy one if there is a possibility of blocking 2A prints. I have seen where some people suggest never connecting it to the internet and only printing off of SD cards but it seems like you could be missing out on a ton of features. Is it worth it to connect it to the internet or play it safe and only use it offline? If it was connected and they pushed out anti-gun restrictions how could you get the printer back to printing freedom? Conner R - What are your go to snacks or meals when hiking, camping, hunting, or rucking? What are you favorite meals in general? Thanks!l Uvuana Suqit - Why does every host on the Firearms Radio Network seem to have an astigmatism? And a bunch of other media people in the firearms industry in general. I hear constantly about not being able to use red dots because of astigmatism, making the dot not a perfect circle, and some other shape. Just want to say that the projection on the glass for red dots won't be a perfect circle with the way they are designed/manufactured, and the “dot” has a weird shape because it is projecting a bunch of tiny dots to a general area on the glass to make up the dot. It does not create a perfect circle. And if you focus on the “dot,” then you will see “imperfection” vs looking at the target where the “imperfection” will be nonexistent, with the general dot shape being over the target. I'm just curious if everyone is mistaking this inherent design of the red dot projection for something that is wrong with their eyes. And when every host says they have an astigmatism, it just seems odd. Karl F - The conflict in Ukraine has demonstrated the usefulness of small drones when it comes to both reconnaissance and delivery of payloads. This usefulness could definitely extend beyond combat to a SHTF scenario. Have any of you considered adding a drone to your gear collection?#blamecanada Oopsie Daisy - If you wanted to escape thermal imaging, do you think throwing a mylar poncho over the wool Five Star Alterations poncho would have a greater effect on reducing your thermal signature? For no one in particular, I'm interested to hear all of your opinions on this. Nate B - How far back is too far back for barrel porting? I understand you'd like the port as far forward as possible as that is where it's most beneficial (better tilt point) but I've seen ported Glocks and other pistols where they have multiple, tiny holes that seem to be fairly close to the chamber.

President Trump plans to tackle the affordability topic by reminding Americans of the many steps he and his team have taken, which will go into effect at the start of 2026. Tammy Duckworth's viral "double-tap" outrage collapses under basic fact-checking (she lied about the video and got caught). The New York Times finally admits what this show has exposed for years: Zelenskyy's inner circle skimmed billions of dollars from U.S. and other foreign aid sources, while Democrats repeatedly killed every audit and inspectors general bill. Billions vanished because Democrat systems are deliberately built with no brakes or guardrails. Episode 231 of The Alan Sanders Show shows reveals the corruption wasn't an accident – it was the plan.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Trump's latest spiral after posting 160 times on Truth Social and then appearing to fall asleep in a cabinet meeting. They examine the escalating “Double Tap” scandal, from Pete Hegseth's shifting explanations to sharp criticism from Megyn Kelly, Brit Hume, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul as Republicans contradict themselves in real time. The hosts also dig into Trump's shocking pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández and his commutation of private-equity CEO David Gentile, highlighting the uproar over freeing major drug traffickers and white-collar criminals. Kander and Gupta then turn to the National Guard shooting involving an Afghan asylee, breaking down the rigorous vetting process, the mental-health failures that followed, and why this was a support-system breakdown rather than an immigration failure.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is being accused of war crimes after allegedly making a so-called “double-tap” strike against Venezuelan drug traffickers. But it may just be a double distraction, allowing critics of Trump both to avoid more serious questions about immigration policy and to pull attention from the tragic shooting of two National Guards in DC by an Afghani national. This week, the guys are joined again by Matthew Peterson to discuss US operations in South America and the Left's unsubtle hints that soldiers might need to disobey orders.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the political firestorm surrounding the Trump Administration's double-tap strike on a Venezuelan narco boat, the escalating fight over Somali immigration and de-naturalization, the nationwide crackdown on unsafe foreign truck drivers, and a new plan to help American families have more children. Narco Boat Double Tap Becomes a Political Weapon: New reporting shows that SOCOM Commander Admiral Mitch Bradley ordered the second strike that killed two surviving cartel operatives after the initial hit on September 2. Republicans say it was a lawful action against confirmed narco-terrorists, while Democrats and Senator Rand Paul claim it may have violated rules of engagement. A lawsuit has now been filed by the family of one of the dead traffickers. Bryan argues the debate is being driven more by political rivalries than by legal facts.   Trump Escalates Fight Over Somali Migration: President Trump declared that Somali migrants who committed fraud or concealed their identities should be removed from the country and called Ilhan Omar and her political allies "garbage." Minnesota Democrats fired back, accusing Trump of racism and warning Somali residents to stay vigilant as ICE begins new removal operations focused on people with final deportation orders. Bryan explains the legal limits of de-naturalization and why it remains difficult without congressional reform.   De-Naturalization Concerns for Lawful Immigrants: In response to listener concerns, Bryan walks through federal rules on improper naturalization. Fraud, concealment, or a lack of "good moral character" during the citizenship process can lead to revocation, but the standard is high and must be proven in court. He notes that upcoming fights over the Senate filibuster will determine whether the administration can broaden those standards.   Federal Crackdown on Dangerous Foreign Truckers: The Department of Transportation found that thousands of CDL training programs, many catering to migrants, issued licenses without meeting basic standards. Nearly 3,000 schools face revocation within 30 days, and more than 4,000 others have been warned. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is pressuring states, including Minnesota and Texas, to end Obama-era rules that allowed truckers to pass without reading or speaking English.   Tax Refund Tightening and State Resistance: Treasury officials are closing loopholes that allowed illegal migrants to receive tax refunds, while the Department of Agriculture is withholding food stamp funds from states that refuse to share immigration data about recipients. New York, California, and Minnesota are preparing lawsuits to block the changes.   A Push to Raise America's Birthrate: The White House unveiled a private donation of $6.25 billion from the Dell family to boost "Trump Accounts," which offer savings for newborns and children under age 10. The accounts can later be used for education, home purchases, or starting a business. Bryan explains how the plan aims to counter America's record-low fertility rate and spark renewed interest in marriage and family life.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: double tap narco boat strike, Admiral Mitch Bradley SOCOM, Pete Hegseth unlawful orders debate, Trump Somali migrants Minnesota, Ilhan Omar de-naturalization rules, DOT migrant CDL crackdown, Sean Duffy licensing reforms, Treasury migrant tax refunds, Trump Accounts fertility initiative, Dell family donation

Admiral Frank Bradley is set to be questioned by lawmakers on Capitol Hill this week about the military strikes on suspected cartel boats in the Caribbean, following reports that he was in charge of a September 2nd "double tap" strike—where allegedly two wounded men were killed after the initial strike.   The Trump administration has been ramping up pressure on Venezuela and President Nicolás Maduro, accusing the country of flooding America with drugs.   Congress has been at odds over how the Trump administration has handled Maduro. The majority of Republicans are backing the President, while Democrats allege that the Commander-in-Chief is steering the U.S. toward a foreign war.   House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the escalating conflict with Venezuela, as well as the Pentagon watchdog report on 'Signalgate' and his bill that he says will help honor the sacrifice of American troops.

Double Tap Episode 438 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Midwest Industries, Primary Arms, Night Fision, Medical Gear Outfitters, Rost Martin, and Swampfox Optics   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 438! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me […]

Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman dig into the reported double-tap strike on fishermen ordered under Pete Hegseth, why both the first and second hits are war crimes, and how Trump somehow manages to both deny and admit responsibility in the same breath. From there they track the widening fallout, from a possible Venezuela strike and resource grab to corrupt pardons for drug traffickers and oligarchs, all wrapped in the familiar language of “security” and “freedom.” The conversation turns to the DC National Guard shooting by a former CIA-linked Afghan asset, the long shadow of blowback, and how decades of unaccountable covert operations have shredded public trust and reality itself. Then it is on to the Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza mess, the alleged secret Butler, Pennsylvania Trump recording, and how access journalism plus capitalism keeps turning vital evidence into premium content. They close with a sharp look at the real history and purpose of Thanksgiving, and why JD Vance's war on turkey is perfectly on-brand for a ruling class that hates joy almost as much as it loves power.

And I found this holster company that will make any custom holster you want. They do something that if have not seen before in adding leather to the inside for a smooth draw. I love the fact that they will make a custom holster for non stock guns, because none of my pistols are the stock setup. Like my S&W Shield 45 with a threaded barrel, ez lock comp, and a red dot.Sense this is supposed to be a question, what do you all think of holsters with leather lined inside, and not I don't care about Aaron's thoughts, so that question is for everyone else. www.giholsters.com/product-p/hst1490.htm Roger B - So I have a CZ BREN 2 and I was wondering if yall have come across a 3D printed lower that accepts standard AR parts? I know that HAGA defense makes them but they are $450. The lower on the BREN isn't the serialized part so that's not the problem and it's polymer anyways so I was thinking a 3D printed one should work just fine. Thanks for the help. Lance D - Is Cloud Defensive going the same route as BRC? I ordered a light that was in stock on August 1st 2025. It is now almost October 1st with no light in hand. All they've said is, “Due to a leaked coupon code, we are trying to catch up on orders.” I call BS! If an item was in stock, it shouldn't take 2+ months to ship! Never again will I purchase one of there products! Mind you this was off of their actual website Mike H - Planning an sbr build around 8"" for when the tax goes to $0, debating between a 9mm (probably a mat9k or sp9a3), a brn-180 gen3 in .300blk, but also thinking other calibers like 10mm, 45, and willing to consider other options. Not wanting direct blowback but roller delayed is great, small overall package preferred. P.S. Don't make too much fun of Aaron's small package, it's why he grabs other peoples' packages Desert D Deagleton - Does the cast consider the Ruger Blackhawk to be a cowboy gun? It's quite different from a Colt. Adjacent question, were there aftermarket adjustable sights for Colt SAAs or the competition back in the day? Perhaps Lyman made something in the 20s or something. I really like having real sights on a revolver cause of my garbage vision. Are there any other SAA clones that have taller adjustable sights but look less modern like the Blackhawks do? Warren Peace - Youz guyz, Do you prefer a fixed blade or folder for every day/pocket carry? Thank you for your wise counsel, magic 8 ball, Severely, Warren Peace Nate L - Is it just me, or does that deal bro jiggle get stuck in your head as well? I find myself randomly humming it or singing it sometimes... Jeremy's Bitch - Do you guys have any fixed blade knives mounted to plate carriers or battle belts? If so, which ones? What is your go to choice for everyday pocket knifes? Do you ever carry a knife for self defense if you're ever “not carrying” in any places like banks or schools?

In this must-hear breaking news episode, host Paul Rieckhoff and Washington Post Pentagon reporter and returning guest Dan Lamothe dig into the shocking September 2 “drug boat” strike that allegedly included a second “double tap” hit on survivors in the water—and why this may become the first real legal and political test of Trump's controversial boat strike campaign. They unpack who gave which orders, what Congress can demand, how video evidence could change everything, and why the Navy and Pentagon leadership are under new scrutiny from all sides.​ Paul and Dan also break down the pre-Thanksgiving targeted shooting of West Virginia National Guard soldiers in Washington, DC—one killed, one critically wounded—and what it reveals about domestic security, vetting, immigration politics, and the dangerous rush to be first instead of right when governors and politicians post about casualties. The conversation then zooms out to looming US strikes on Venezuela, ongoing war in Ukraine, and what happens if American aircraft go down on foreign soil in the middle of a fragile, hyper-partisan environment of misinformation. The guys also dig into negotiations and fault lines in Ukraine, how China may be quietly benefiting from America's distractions, and how a potential Venezuela operation could spin out politically and militarily without clear, credible communication.​ In one of the most jaw-dropping segments, Paul and Dan dig into the collapse of the traditional Pentagon press corps: CNN, The New York Times, Fox, and The Washington Post have now been fully pushed out of the building–and radical conspiracy-pusher Laura Loomer, MyPillow-linked outlets, and fringe “truth tellers” have taken over their access–and their desks. And they're talking junk about it.  Dan and Paul also drill down on Trump's plans to attend the Army–Navy game later this month, what to look for, how that once-unifying event is now becoming a hyper-political stage, and why announcements and personnel moves tied to the game have mattered before—and could again.  Plus, Dan shares why time with teachers, cops, and old classmates far from DC can be grounding in a moment of national whiplash. Paul gives a shoutout to the unifying Detroit Lions Thanksgiving halftime show with Eminem and Jack White—and why small cultural moments like that matter when the news is this heavy. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.
