Very few companies execute a company blog well. Fewer still are able to create a good video blog. Elzetta is one of the few that has shown a penchant for the latter. In their latest video, Elzetta shows why it is so important to choose a type 3 anodizing versus type 2. With common language, […]

The Hidden Benefit of Hoarding Ammo…
While hoarding ammo and people buying it “right off the truck” is an annoyance for most of us, the increased (and sustained) buying of ammo (and guns) has benefited one major aspect–conservation. The taxes related to the purchase of firearms and ammo contributes to the “Pittman-Robertson funds” which bypasses the US Treasury and goes directly to […]

DIY CNC Quick Detach Sling Adapter
John Saunders of NYC CNC posted up a short video and explains how to make your own QD sling adapter. Actually he just explains how to cut the hole to accept a QD sling. I don’t think this is quite DIY friendly since it does require a CNC and some knowledge of CAD. However, it […]

Upcoming “Gadget” for Glock Handguns
I agree with ToddG from Pistol Forum that holstering a hammered firearm is indeed safer than holstering a common striker-fired handgun. This is principally because a shooter can “ride the hammer” to ensure it cannot fall during the holstering movement. Striker-fired guns like Glock, M&P’s, and others on the other hand can easily discharge when […]

Optic Review: Meopta R2 1-6×24 RD
In my previous TFB reviews of Meopta optics, I state that the Czech-made Meopta is the best keep secret in mid-to-high end Euro optics. Meopta had been making optics for military and sportsman since 1933. While for most of its history, Meopta was behind the iron curtain until 1990. Now Meopta is owned by an […]

New Go Pro Session Camera Tested by FullMag
FullMag tests the new, smaller GoPro Session by destructively testing an existing GoPro Hero Black using a bullet nearly the same size as the camera itself, a .45-70. The new camera has excellent picture, but the old one… is disintegrated. Complete with the usual slow-motion, my favorite part is about 1:15 seconds in showing the […]
