Welcome everyone to the 176th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal? Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article. In this week’s edition of HGFC, we look at an engraved Tristar T-120 chambered in 9mm. As is tradition,…

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)-— According to Ellijay Police, on January 9, 2023, at about 6:30 p.m., Shawn Sutton, 39 years old and a convicted felon, posed as a customer ready to purchase an energy drink at the Ideal Mart on at 31 Old Northcutt Road in Ellijay, Georgia.

It is a thriving rural county with 31,000 residents. There were two real customers and a store clerk inside the Ideal Mart with Sutton.…
Images are screencaps from a video shared by @FiftyShadesofFDE, who appears to be shadowbanned for his trouble. While the California Governor was crying about the 2nd Amendment being a suicide pact and a 2nd mass shooting that occurred in his state as his legislative and regulatory nonsense failed again, resulting in 7 deaths perpetrated by another elderly Asian male, new details have emerged about the Monterey Park shooting. The young man in the photo, wearing the white sweatsuit and jacket, has been identified as Brandon Tsay and he wrestled away the shooter’s gun at the 2nd dance studio, Lai Lai Dance…
If there’s any individual weapon that deserves the most credit for beating back Nazi Germany, it might be the legendary bolt-action Mosin-Nagant rifle. The Soviet Union made them in absolutely huge numbers — and they’re still available and rather cheap compared to their contemporaries. What’s more extraordinary is that the basic design is more than a century old. Even now, rebels carry Mosin-Nagants alongside more modern weapons as in conflicts from Ukraine to the Middle East. But there’s good reasons for that. It’s because of the rifle’s simplicity, ruggedness and a design philosophy summed up as “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix…
From the Auto-9 to the Cobra Assault Cannon, the RoboCop series has some serious bangers in the gun world. One that’s often forgotten about and likely thought to be a work of fiction by most viewers is the DEB M21. This gun comes out of the 1980s but fits perfectly in the year 2043. What’s the DEB M21? It’s a folding submachine gun, one of roughly three that appeared during this period. While the little gun never got made in serious numbers and never gained any popularity, it found its way into RoboCop 2. The Future of Crime In RoboCop 2, the weapon is…
If you had to choose just one caliber… .308 Win or .30-06…which would you choose? From hunting purposes to self-defense to competition the merits of both have been argued by many gun owners. But at the end of the day, which one is better? .30-06 (left) and .308 Win (right) We’re going to talk about our opinion on the matter as we first dive into the history of these two rounds then some of their unique characteristics. Of course, we’ll touch on things like velocity, energy, and bullet drop as well as which round does better with hunting, competition and…
Pocket pistols have somewhat fallen out of vogue since the arrival of single stack 9mms, newer high-capacity micro compacts, and loads of modern concealment holster options Micro and Compacts…all the rage right now. Many people that bought older pocket .380s fired them a few times and realized they suck. Thus, the pocket pistol genre slowed down in sales as people realized slightly bigger was much better. However, maybe they just had the wrong caliber. What if we ditched the .380 ACP and looked at something in .32 ACP? The lightest semi-automatic handgun currently in production, in all its glory. Thinking…
U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “Some Hunter Biden allies making plans to go after his accusers,” The Washington Post reports. “Hunter Biden’s friend and lawyer Kevin Morris … described defamation lawsuits the team could pursue against the presidential son’s critics, including Fox News, Eric Trump, and Rudy Giuliani.” Morris held a meeting at his California home to assess legal strategies and highlight opposition research. At one point, Hunter Biden himself called in. And the attendance of another supporter tells us much about the company he keeps: “They feel that there is a whole counternarrative missing because of the whole Hunter-hater narrative out there,” said liberal…
Canik has recently announced the SFx Rival-S, a new steel-framed variant of the company’s SFx Rival 9mm pistol. As handguns have trended towards polymer construction, concealed carriers have enjoyed the benefits of lighter pistols. When the same materials crept into the competition world, however, it left many wanting for more controllability. Canik is the latest company to address this issue and it’s done so by introducing the SFx Rival-S, a heavier, all-steel version of the original polymer SFx Rival 9mm pistol. The steel-framed SFx Rival-S features a 5-inch barrel and has a total weight of 2.67 pounds, so recoil should…
