Welcome back to another TFB review. In the world of closed-emitter reflex sights, there are a plethora of choices at a number of different price points. EOTech has recently released their first closed-emitter pistol optic. I’ve had the EOTech EFLX-CE for roughly 3-4 months and certainly have some points to bring up for you guys if you’re debating picking one up. Let’s take a closer look at the […]

UO Arms entered the market with a clear mission: build what military and law enforcement have long recognized as the ideal compact platform, and make it available to civilians. The NT7 SBR is their answer to the H&K MP7, the legendary submachine gun that is everyone’s favorite but completely unobtanium. In this Photo Of The Day, we’re taking a closer look at what’s going on.

The Winchester Model 64 was introduced in 1933, but its story actually begins with a John Browning project in the 1890s. That’s because the Model 64 is really just a gussied-up version of the Model 1894/Model 94 lever-action, the best-selling sporting rifle of all time (at least in the North American market).

The world of firearms is evolving and it is coming fast. We are no longer relegated to owning a pistol and rifle in fixed configurations. With chassis system handguns (SIG P365 with an FCU or Springfield Echelon with a COG), we can simply pull the “guts” – your serialized portion from your handgun – and plug-and-play it into multiple frames, chassis systems, and platforms. That is the premise […]

Rhodesian Brushstroke  may be one of the most underrated camouflage patterns in military aesthetics, a fact that one of Wilson Combat’s customers took good care of in this EDC X9. Born from counterinsurgency campaigns in Africa during the 1970s and ’80s, the pattern employs organic brush strokes in earth tones to dissolve the gun into natural environments.

This week on TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast, I’m bringing on my good friend Aryan — most of you know him online as Mocka, or @mockashoots.  Aryan shoots competitively for Team GB (Great Britain), works as a software engineer, and somehow still finds time to run a very well-produced YouTube channel mostly covering competitive shooting sports, which is impressive on its own before you factor in […]
