INSIDE SAFARILAND Do Handgun Silencers Have a Place in the Self Defense World Do silencers have a place in the self defense world? They may not have completely made it there yet, but I think they will be. Safariland blog article examines whether handgun silencers (suppressors) belong in self-defense applications. The author gives a cautious but optimistic ‘yes,' particularly highlighting advantages for home defense scenarios while acknowledging practical limitations.

THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS Can You Shoot 5.56 Through a .22 Suppressor? – The Truth About Guns Can you shoot 5.56 through a .22 suppressor? Usually no. Here's why pressure, heat, and gas volume matter so much. The article addresses whether .556/.223 ammunition can be safely fired through a standard .22LR (rimfire) suppressor. In the general case, it is not safe or recommended. Most dedicated rimfire suppressors are engineered only for the much lower pressures, smaller gas volumes, and reduced heat produced by .22LR, .22WMR, or similar rimfire cartridges. NSSF NSSF Releases Most Recent Firearm Production Figures (ATF AFMER 2023) Over 32 million Modern Sporting Rifles in Circulation WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, released the Firearm Production in the United States including the Firearm Import and Export Data 2025 Edition (reporting 2023 data) to its members.

GUN FIGHTS Play the best Price Is Right-style GunBroker game on the internet. BANGRANK A live cast ranking segment for anything and everything in the gun world, powered by questionable certainty, strong opinions, and audience voting. THE AGENCY BRIEF Agency Update 1. 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 pumps all over the country. The legal hook was buried in the National Firearms Act, specifically 26 U.S.C. § 5845(f). That section says a weapon with a bore over one-half inch can be treated as a destructive device unless the government decides it is “generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes.” A 12-gauge shotgun has a bore of about .73 inches. So every 12-gauge in America avoids the NFA only because ATF treats it as sporting enough. That is the trapdoor. In 1994, during the Clinton administration, ATF issued Rulings 94-1 and 94-2. The agency said these shotguns had no recognized sporting purpose, pointing to their weight, capacity, and military-style features. Once ATF withdrew that exemption, the guns became destructive devices. The pattern was simple: Start with a broad statute and an elastic test like “sporting purposes.” Use subjective factors, including appearance, to pull back prior approval. Reclassify the guns by agency ruling. Open a short amnesty period for tax-free registration. Turn missed paperwork into felony exposure. Confirmed fact: ATF used the sporting purposes clause to reclassify these firearms and require NFA registration without Congress passing a new law. What is less clear is how many legacy owners actually got notice before the amnesty window closed. But the legal threat was real, and the policy result stuck....

Use code AGENCY171 Dear WLS Question from Beefa King Your Mom I just put together an AR10 in .308 and would like to take it hunting for pronghorn out in Colorado. I threw a 1-6 LPVO on it so I could take it to the range but do you think I should upgrade optics? Question from Keith M WINNER Form 1 question, when the atf asks for photos for a suppressor build is it of raw materials or what ? Appreciate y'all and enjoy listening , makes the work day go by faster& annoys the libtards Question from Jason L First off, which Gideon optic would you recommend for a 43X? Secondly, my 12yo son wants to get into USPSA shooting. Should we do it and if we should, any advice? Question from KY Horseman from KY Dear WLS KY Horseman Thinking about getting a Henry Supreme. What do y'all think about them? Not sure whether to get 300 blackout or 556 version. Would use it for hunting some but mostly a range toy. Maybe get a suppressor for it in the future. I was leaning towards the 556 version since I already have a stock pile of 556 ammo. What do y'all think? Thanks KY Horseman Question from Ken G. from Virginia Ask WLS: I believe local gun shops are critical to the protection of the second amendment. It seems that online sales are hurting my local shops that don't have a range attached for revenue. Is there a national association that supports and protects independent dealers from unfair trade practices? I recently read about the Robinson-Patman Act. It seems like a well established group could use this act to end the unfair pricing that makes it difficult for small businesses to compete. Ken G.

Double Tap - Ep 458 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: C&G Holsters (Code: WLSISLIFE) Gideon Optics (Code: WLSISLIFE) Rost Martin (Code: WLSISLIFE) Night Fision (Code: WLSISLIFE) Blue Alpha Second Call Defense Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public Show Titles GOA GOALS Aug 1-2 in Iowa. https://goals.goa.org/ GunCon.net Tickets on sale now. Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from Clay-more the Merrier As 2026 is the 500th anniversary of Beretta I'd like to know the panel's favorite Italian firearm, food and historical military leader? Question from Anonymous Coward Jon Hey guys wanted to ask you a question regarding hunting, do you think I should get a 22 air rifle (small game) and a crossbow (big game) to cover my hunting needs on both areas or is there a caliber that you guys can recommend that would do both? Thanks and love the show Question from Matthew C Hello, I am a diesel technician in eastern Indiana and work in a very rural and gun friendly area. A few of us in the shop have noticed that the required experience for drivers has been lowered in the last few years and we have all noticed the “quality” of drivers has drastically dropped. We have had upset drivers that come in yelling and screaming after getting fired or not getting their way (most of them are of the non English speaking variety). A few of us have kept pistols in our toolboxes for years. The safety department and upper management tell everyone “it's against company policy”. They are all great bosses and understand what is actually happening. They then talk for 10 minutes about the high end 1911 they keep in their desk. A couple of us have purchased the North American Arms .22 magnum, folding revolvers to pocket carry. They look like a standard pocket knife clip from 5 feet away and no one notices. The single action and 5 shot capacity is less than desirable though. We were talking and arguing over what is the best gun/holster combination that could conceal perfectly and not get caught on equipment. We are all 5'9- 6′ 1″, 160lbs to 220lbs. Not skinny, not fat. Appendix carry is not ideal. We were all thinking less than $700 total setup. The weapons will get beat up and dirty on occasion. What is your thoughts on ankle holsters? We would prefer 9mm. Would combination would you guys recommend? If no decision can be made, our young parts guy is a 21 year old virgin. He is 6′ 5″ and 350lbs. We could always have him rape the driver to death. Just a back up option. We think he may be Jeremy's illegitimate offspring. P.S Thanks to this show, I figured out that my favorite hat is ALSO a Richardson 112. Fat heads for life! Question from Cooter H Nick mentioned cheap 22's on Double Tap last week. Those make rad projects if you're willing to cut up a classic. I just took a Remington 511, cut it to 16”, threaded it for a can, then mounted an old glossy Leupold and stuck it in a surplus Remington 513 stock. What other old guns would the cast bastardize make it cool again? Question from Chris W Hey guys if you had to build a dmr load out what would it be? Semi auto, or bolt? 30-06, .308, or 7mm rem mag? What optics? Noreen arms makes these big ass semi auto rifles and I kind of want one and cant decide. The budget isnt a concern and its going to be a range toy for the most part or until shit hits the fan and I need someone on overwatch. Thanks in advance. Question from Un-ominous Cowword in Your Mom Is Aaron's middle name really Farkas or is that just him slipping(pun intended) a word that sounds like fuck-ass into his social media? Thanks GUN INDUSTRY NEWS GOA: Anti-Gun Lobby Attacks Organization as Extremists for Second Amendment Advocacy Gun Owners of America (GOA) reports that the billionaire-funded gun-control lobby is labeling the organization as extremists due to its uncompromising stance on restoring Second Amendment rights nationwide. The article contrasts GOA's grassroots support with the anti-gun lobby's scare tactics and political compromises. It urges readers to join GOA to support the ongoing fight against gun control.

In this week’s episode we talk with John Schwend from HatPoint Target stands. The MantisX Titan is the definitive force multiplier for instructors who demand data-driven results and unshakeable fundamentals. Designed to bridge the gap between static range drills and high-stress performance, the Titan offers real-time, surgical-grade analysis of every movement—from the initial draw to the break of the shot. By capturing thousands of data points per second, it identifies the subtle neurological and mechanical hitches that even the most eagle-eyed instructor might miss. This allows you to move beyond “watch and correct” to a sophisticated, diagnostic approach that provides students with objective, visual proof of their progress, drastically shortening the learning curve. Elevate your curriculum by integrating a tool that speaks the language of modern marksmanship: precision and efficiency. The Titan's robust suite of drills—covering everything from holster draw analysis to recoil management—enables you to run high-volume, low-cost training sessions that maintain an elite level of intensity. Whether you are refining the grip of a novice or pushing a professional to shave milliseconds off their split times, the Titan provides the empirical evidence needed to validate your coaching. It isn't just an accessory; it's a digital range safety officer and master coach rolled into one, ensuring your students leave the line more capable, more confident, and more consistent.

This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: C&G Holsters (Code: WLSISLIFE) Midwest Industries (Code: WLSISLIFE) Blue Alpha Bowers Group (Code: WLS) Otis Technology (Code: WELIKESHOOTING15) Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public Show Titles GunCon.net Tickets on sale now. Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from Bradley C If each cast member were a chapter subject of Jeremy's book, what would the chapter title be? This is what I think: Shawn- Get to the fucking end already. Aaron- It's because you're stupid and make bad decisions. Nick- It's really not that hard. Savage- It's just to assert dominance/ownership. (These are a culmination of comments Jeremy has made to each cast member. Hope that helps.) Question from Dah-Jango The D is loud Alright you beautiful dumpster fires, I've got a question with an activity. . What are your top three odd food combinations you'll put your reputation on? Bacon-wrapped shrimp is banger, but I don't think it's odd. I grew up liking peanut butter and pickle sandwiches and I always get looks like hen making it. Please answer this in a draft style so each cast member has to have 3 different picks. Then post it on social for us to vote who drafted the best. Notes: Fries in Wendy's frosty are fire. Also when did Frostys come in other flavors besides chocolate? Question from TheObviousJames I am looking into getting my first bolt action rifle. I'd like it to be a 1000yd-capable gun. My budget is around $1000, not including glass. I'm not really a hunter, so most use cases will be target shooting. What do you all think is the best all-around cartridge? 6.5 creedmoor seems like a solid choice given overall ballistics and availability, but 300 win mag seems like a good time too. Also, would I be able to put together a decent budget chassis/ barreled action build for $1000? The Howa 1500 barreled actions + KRG Bravo Chassis seems like a decent way to go. Is it worth it to go that route, or just buy something Factory? Thank you for your input. Question from Brandon What lock pick set do you guys carry or use? Something I want to get into just for knowledge and know how. Thanks Ill be listening to see if my question comes up before Aaron comes back ill know how far down in the list I am. Question from Alex S Hey so I have an AR with a commercial buffer tube. I'm looking for a stock to put on it. I originally had my eyes on the Magpul PRS lite but it is only for mil spec buffer tubes. I would really like an adjustable cheek riser and the only other option I'm seeing is a luth AR MBA-4, but like the look/function of the fixed stocks better. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

In this week’s episode we talk with Holly Sullivan about the upcoming Firearm Advocacy Conference. The MantisX Titan is the definitive force multiplier for instructors who demand data-driven results and unshakeable fundamentals. Designed to bridge the gap between static range drills and high-stress performance, the Titan offers real-time, surgical-grade analysis of every movement—from the initial draw to the break of the shot. By capturing thousands of data points per second, it identifies the subtle neurological and mechanical hitches that even the most eagle-eyed instructor might miss. This allows you to move beyond “watch and correct” to a sophisticated, diagnostic approach that provides students with objective, visual proof of their progress, drastically shortening the learning curve. Elevate your curriculum by integrating a tool that speaks the language of modern marksmanship: precision and efficiency. The Titan's robust suite of drills—covering everything from holster draw analysis to recoil management—enables you to run high-volume, low-cost training sessions that maintain an elite level of intensity. Whether you are refining the grip of a novice or pushing a professional to shave milliseconds off their split times, the Titan provides the empirical evidence needed to validate your coaching. It isn't just an accessory; it's a digital range safety officer and master coach rolled into one, ensuring your students leave the line more capable, more confident, and more consistent.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #242 Tom Knighton Bearing Arms, Writer The first time I met Tom Knighton in person was at a Florida Carry event in 2021. But we've done a number of episodes of the Polite Society Podcast, where I was a co-host and he was a guest. Then there were a number of times when we did The Daily Bullet as co-hosts. Tom is a great guy and writes at Bearing Arms. We had a chance to film a show at the NRA Annual Meetings in Atlanta this year. Tom grew up in Georgia and has been around firearms his whole life. Growing up in a city, he's still pretty country. His dad was a police officer who hunted with his own dad. It seems crazy, but he said his first press of the trigger was at four years old with a .38 Special. His dad had his hands over Tom's and all he needed to do was press the trigger. Eventually, his dad bought him a Ruger 10/22 and an Enfield Jungle Carbine in .303 British. Unfortunately, later on it had to be sold. As a young child growing up with his parents and their smart aleck attitudes, it's no wonder where Tom got his snarkiness, which has served him well while writing at Bearing Arms. Then as a Navy corpsman, it didn't really help with his sense of humor, either. Being an anti-authorian, he only lasted four years in the Navy. He was in after the Gulf War but before September 11. He could have gone back in, but he had a 2 month old child and a wife to tend to. During high school, Tom found out he wasn't too bad at writing. His writing impressed both his teacher and classmates. While writing for a "table top role playing" blog, he went to a meet up with local liberty minded folks. He talked with someone and started writing about small local politics. Then a local newspaper got a hold of some articles and ran them there, too. Talking with the editor, he was able to pay Tom for some original content. So he considered writing for a living. The editor ended up moving and selling the paper to Tom. Then he ended up losing the newspaper. After some life tribulations, he started writing for a start up publication. Then another. Both went under. He was able to leverage those gigs into writing for PJ Media. Another friend worked at Red State and he asked if they needed anything. After some conversations, she asked how he was on the Second Amendment. For the first two years, he was writing solo. They talked about hiring an editor and he was a little miffed. But the editor ended up being Cam Edwards. Tom thought that was also a good idea! Like many of us, one of our goals was to be on NRA TV's Cam & Co. but Tom ended up working with Cam instead. A nice consultation prize. For Bearing Arms Tom is cranking out about seven articles a day. Then he's got two for Town Hall. Then his own Substack of general politics gets two articles. And he's doing some videos for his YouTube channel, too. Sometimes people send him tips, leads, and stories. Sometimes it's slow and there's a little rehashing of previous content or reaching out to find stories to write. But the "challenges in the 2A community don't change" or end. Like many others, Tom has a lot going on. Writing for Bearing Arms, for Town Hall Media, and doing his own articles, keeps his schedule full. There are also times when he's running the BA website, too. Plus he's keeping up with family life. Just for funsies, we take a call from Mike Piwowarski from Arms Room Radio. I was supposed to meet some folks, but I was running late. The background is that when I did a show with Mike in Florida a few years ago, he forgot all the great stories he has. So I had to bring up that Tom has stories. And he remembers them. Favorite quotes: "The first time I ever pulled the trigger was on a .38 Special when I was four years old." "God forbid we ever in a situation like that, I'm equipped." "We may not have the same level of training, but you never have enough." "You need to get your basic marksmanship better than the guns." "People like when their commentators pop off at the other side."

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #236 Zeke Stout MGS Trade School Zeke and I have been running into each other at various events for a few years. If I remember correctly, Yehuda Remer (RSWC #012) introduced us at SHOT Show. Zeke is a great guy, very personable and funny. Matt Mallory & I have done some live shows with Zeke, including on at SHOT Shot 2025. He's been talking to me about doing a show in Memphis and we were able to pull it off after the NRA Annual Meetings in Atlanta this year. We started across the street from Graceland, yes, where Elvis Presley lived. He warned me to watch out for high speed chases as they have the best drop guns in Memphis! Zeke has made a great career for himself and in several fields. He started in medical sales, pharmaceutical sales, and medical supply sales just to have a solid income. The hours were neverending, being on call all the time. So it was time to move on. At one point, he got some help from an entrepreneurial friend and learned about marketing. This was his new passion. He's been able to use that throughout his career and in many of the fields. They opened a car dealership in Clarksville, TN, and he decided to get his carry permit. Once he was into firearms, he turned it full on. During drives to work he would call and talk with his friend Marty “Lefthand” Holder and they would talk about guns and called it Talking Lead. It hit them that they should start a podcast. His entrepreneur friend owned a Mexican radio station and he asked if they could use the studio to record their podcast. For a while, both Zeke and Vanessa Mandrel had a radio show called Projectile Disfunction. Within four episodes of Talking Lead, they learned there were other great firearm content creators who lived within 30 minutes. Folks like Hickok45, .22 Plinkster, and TNOutdoors9. James Yeager wasn't too far away either. Their episode with Hickok got them into 117 countries. In six months, they were one of the largest gun podcasts in the world. At one point, Zeke started doing marketing for a gunsmithing school who shall not be named. He took that company and grew them over 340% in four years. One day, he opened a message on LinkedIn and there was a message from a casting agency. They wanted him to audition to be a judge for gunsmithing on the show Master of Arms on Discovery Channel. According to him, the way to win an audition is to not care. Once they found out that he had other media and podcasting skills, they wanted him to host the show. Ashley Hlebinsky (RSWC #130) was also on that show. Unfortunately, the show only lasted one season. After the TV season of life, he took a hiatus from firearms and got into marketing in the motorcycle world. Yes, one day a week, he had to ride his bike for work! After a while of motorcycle marketing, he reached out to Modern Gun School, MGS. Part of the offer was to do what he did for the other company, but this time he wanted to be a part owner. One of the first things they did was rebrand to MGS Trade School so that it was much more acceptable. If that wasn't enough, Zeke took that marketing skill and got into golf while his son was taking lessons. He started Dilligolf. It's short for “Do I look like I golf.” He's been growing that YouTube channel, too. It was such a fun show to record and to hang out with Zeke. We do take a call from Yehuda Remer, The Pew Pew Jew. He's got so many stories and tells them well. You'll really get to know him and see what a great guy he is. Oh yeah… we do see a high speed chase and pick up a drop gun. As he says, “we've got the best drop guns in Memphis.” Favorite quotes: “Whenever I get into anything, I dive in, absolute head first.” “Talking Lead was started in a Mexican radio station in Nashville.” “What just happened? We might have something on our hands.” “Dude, we didn't know you did all this. Why don't you audition for the host of this show?” “I'll form an LLC and write off all my golf expenses. And I did.” MGS Trade School https://mgs.edu/ MGS On YouTube http://youtube.com/@mgstradeschool MGS Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MGSTradeSchool/ MGS X https://x.com/mgstradeschool MTS IG https://www.instagram.com/mgstradeschool/ Dilligolf YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Dilligolf MTR Defense https://mtrdefense.com/ Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #233 Phil Journey NRA BOD Member I had a chance to catch up with Phil Journey at the NRA Annual Meetings back in April. He's quite an interesting man with some long roots in the Second Amendment and with the NRA. He was on the list of four reform candidates last year in 2024. This year, of course, there were 28 reformers that people were supporting, many who did get onto the Board of Directors of the NRA. He spends times telling us about his collection of firearms, how he got into politics and ran for office, and some of the inside dirt on what was going on with NRA leadership. Phil is from Kansas and grew up with a couple of uncles, one was a gunsmith and the other was an inventor. His father used to hunt and got him into shooting. In law school, he got into competitive shooting and made it to second place in IPSC in Oklahoma. At one point, he spent more time making sure everyone else had the rights to keep shooting and owning firearms. While in law school he had three semesters on Constitutional law, one semester was only on the First Amendment, but nothing on the Second Amendment. Working on his dissertation, he pointed out that at that time, much of the thought was that it was a collectivist theory right and the courts reflected that. But he realized it was an individual right. That's when he decided this was going to be his cross to bear. Getting out of law school, he started working on some campaigns for the US Senate. He learned a lot in those days, thinking candidates would read some of the pro-gun literature he would give candidates. Back then he started his ties with the NRA as an election volunteer coordinator, He got 5,000 people to come to a city council meeting. This was how he got involved in political action committees. Phil's career was as a practicing attorney. He was appointed to the Kansas Senate in 2003. After a handful of years in the state Senate, he was elected to the Judicial District Court. Having these positions did interfere with his business. He also got into other businesses like storage rentals. At one point, he sold several firearms to fund one of his campaigns so he didn't have to ask for money. Phil is also into collecting cars as well as guns. We learn about the extensive collection, how he acquired some of the guns and cars. Back in 1995, Neal Knox helped get him elected to the NRA Board of Directors. Even back then there were issues with Wayne LaPierre. One is that if there was a contract that was more than $100,000, it had to be in writing and passed by two of the three executive officers. LaPierre would make them oral contracts and not run them by the executives. Journey and Knox did get pushed off the board, but only Phil was able to get back on it. During the years when he wasn't on the board, he still kept an eye on the goings on, including what Leticia James was up to in New York. With some help, he was able to get back onto the board in 2020. He noticed that the board meetings were much shorter than they used to be and he realized that wasn't quite right. There was a lot of ‘go along to get along' happening with the BOD. Reading the petition from James, he saw that the things that were wrong in the 1990's were four times worse. Phil gets into several things that were going on with the NRA and how it needed to be changed. In 2024, he got together with Rocky Marshall, Dennis Fusaro, and Jeff Knox and started a small reform team. They all got elected onto the board to start making changes. This year, there were many more reformers on the ballot, and many were elected. However, he does get into how it was a mess and how much of a mess it was. Personally, I did vote for the 28 reformers. I have had the new EVP, Doug Hamlin, on the show (episode 213). I do believe we need to keep the NRA and make the changes necessary to maintain our Second Amendment rights. The NRA has been around for over 150 years and want to see it for another 150 years. WIth Phil and the new reformers, I think we're in good hands and onto a better and stronger NRA. Favorite quotes: “What have they not taught me about? And it was the Second Amendment.” “The whole legislative process is to keep things from becoming law.” “It's easier to kill legislation than it is to get it passed.” “It was a cultural problem inside the organization.” National Rifle Association https://home.nra.org/ NRA ILA https://www.nraila.org/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/NRAVideos X https://x.com/NRA Instagram https://www.instagram.com/NRA/ NRA Publications YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@NRApubs Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/ Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.

Lehigh defense makes those Philip tip screwdriver looking bullets for 32acp called Xtreme Defender. So it doesn't have to expand to create cavitation.They also make a square tip looking one, called the cavitator, that actually is even better as it's the same length as a fmj which alleviates the issue of 32 rim locking. The bad part is the square tip ones are only sold bullet only now so if you don't want to reload I think the Phillips style 'Xtreme Defense' are the only ones still available as a complete cartridge. Swamp Ape - Sig p320??? Yes Notes Dickens Ideme - Aaron, you deserve all the shit you get 99% of the time. But one thing you have gotten much better at is not eating during the show. Sean on the other hand consistently crunched on dog kennel straight through two shows back to back. I yield the rest of my time to Aaron to shit on Shawn Desert D Deagleton - Would you rather have a pistol and carbine chambered in 32-20 or 38-40? Use case is collecting & plinking but feel free to elaborate what you'd have if you were living in the 1880s. Ryan W - I know you aren't lawyers. Just looking for your opinions. Is a transferable m.g. the same as an s.b.r. when it comes to changing out calibers and or barrel lengths? Return it to it's registered configuration before storing? I appreciate you guys. Thanks. Mashed Potato Chip Bag - Why does Jeremy remind me of a giant Jonah Hill? Hunter D - I have a question, what in the heck is going on with cloud defensive? I ordered the MCH HC3 two months ago and still have not received my light or the other accessories that I ordered. I have emailed them multiple times asking for updates and all I get is working on it or possibly next week. I love the 4 other lights of theirs I have and just want my light. Thanks you for any feedback or suggestions. #wls #Dangfree #171 #jeremyisNotacunt #Arronisacunt John M - I came across a used Walther PPQ in 9mm. Total impulse purchase on my part. However it's not able to mount a red dot in the traditional way. Do you think a PDP slide would fit on the PPQ grip/trigger as it was the precursor to the PDP? What other options do you think are out there? David L - If each cast member died or just said "Fuck it!" and left, Would the rest of you replace them? If so, would you look for a similar personality or change it up? [No notes] The winner of this week's swag pack is Desert D Deagleton!

Today we're on the move on the way to NRAAM 2025 in Atlanta Georgia talking to Bryce from The Carry Handle Podcast about what we expect to see at the show this year. The NRA Show or NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits is an open to the public gun show that gives customers and manufacturers a chance to mingle with one another and showcase products, answer questions, and hopefully get questions answered. In stark contrast to other trade shows like SHOT Show, NRAAM also has a pretty hefty political component with prominent speakers such as President Donald Trump making frequent appearances as well as other pro-gun politicians and industry leaders. This year Hop and Luke of TFBTV will be on the scene to cover the latest product releases from all of our favorite manufacturers.
