We're back from TriggrCon 2024 and today we'll be hearing from one of the organizers of the event, Mr. Dave Timm. Dave has been in the firearms industry for a long time having worked, written, and produced content for a lot of companies in the past including Ranier Arms which hosts the TriggrCon even every year. Today Dave and I are going to go over 2024's TriggrCon expo and range day and also give you guys our thoughts on this year's Golden Trigger recipients. We'll also take some time to talk about Dave and what he's got planned for himself down the road in terms of videos and articles he'll be producing under his own brand - Learning Firearms. Dave is a retired Law Enforcement officer, competitive shooter, and all around gun nerd that I'm happy to have on the podcast. Please give Dave Tim of Learning Firearms a warm welcome to the show!

TFB Behind the Gun #163: Pre NRAAM 2025 Huddle w/ Bryce 25:42

5 hoursที่แล้ว25:42

25:42

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. For now, sit back, relax and enjoy speculating about what's to come with Luke & Bryce in today's episode. The Carry Handle Podcast on YouTube The Carry Handle Podcast on Spotify…

TFB Behind the Gun #162: What's In Your Range Bag? 47:33

7 วันที่แล้ว47:33

47:33

On today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast we're speaking with Kevin from The Carry Handle podcast about what's in our range bags. Anyone who shoots likely has a range bag or at least something to carry all of their gear to the range with them when they shoot away from home. Typically I bring at a minimum a set of ear protection, eye protection, and some medical gear. However, over the years, both Kevin and I have allowed our range equipment to somewhat balloon, and in today's discussion, we'll both try to defend and justify the equipment we choose to drag to the range with us.

On today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun podcast, we've brought Bryce from The Carry Handle podcast to talk about our recent fascination with the ACE Virtual Shooting Simulator (Ace XR). ACE XR describes itself as the "premier shooting and pistol training platform" for the Meta series of completely wireless virtual headsets. When you combine the Quest VR headset, one of the controllers, and an ACE handset, you've got everything you need to dive right into a virtual shooting range that can be changed in an instant. Bryce and I have both had a bit of experience with the system, and today we're going to give you some of our first impressions about the system, including the sticker shock, perceived training value, and who might actually benefit from this type of game or platform.

On today’s episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast, we’re chatting with Tom Kubiniec from SecureIt Tactical about all things gun storage. SecureIt’s been around for over two decades, starting out by designing armories for the military and law enforcement before branching out to civilian and commercial sales. Tom and his crew aren’t just about locking guns away—they’re pros at keeping them organized, too. Tom walks us through his work with the U.S. military, sharing how SecureIt’s clever designs make life easier for military, law enforcement, and everyday gun owners by keeping their gear tidy and secure. With years of experience under his belt, he’s spotted what’s outdated in the gun storage and safe world and come up with fresh ideas that fit today’s firearms, collections, and shooters’ needs. So, what does SecureIt actually offer? They’ve got a lineup that’s pretty impressive—like the Agile™ Model 52, a lightweight gun safe with their CradleGrid™ system that lets you customize how you store your rifles and gear. There’s also the Fast Box™ , perfect for quick-access hidden storage, and their gun wall kits that turn your space into a slick, organized display. Whether you’re looking for a heavy-duty cabinet or a retrofit kit to upgrade an old safe, they’ve got options that mix practicality with some serious innovation. https://www.secureitgunstorage.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZb3HLZuU80PVoAFxf_UDLQ https://www.instagram.com/secureit/ https://www.facebook.com/gunstorage/…

In this episode of TFB Behind the Gun Podcast , we sit down with Bill Reilly, founder of SIM-X Ammunition, to unpack the story behind his company and its practical take on ammo design for training, competition, and self-defense. Bill opens up about how his hobby of shooting in his basement drove him back to school and sparked the creation of SIM-X. He breaks down the ammo’s competition roots and how it’s engineered for performance in both training and matches. Operating out of northern Salt Lake City, Utah, SIM-X focuses on lightweight, high-velocity rounds tailored for shooters who value function and reliability. We dig into Bill’s journey and explore how SIM-X goes beyond performance, contributing to healthier shooting habits with its lead-free ammunition in a no-nonsense chat about what’s next for the industry. https://www.simxammo.com/ https://www.facebook.com/simxammo https://www.instagram.com/simxammunition/ https://twitter.com/simxammo https://www.youtube.com/@simxammunition…

On today’s episode of TFB's Behind the Gun podcast, we’re joined by YouTuber Agent Espo to tackle some serious—and not-so-serious—topics swirling around the gun industry and community. While many enthusiasts rightfully revel in the full enjoyment of their firearms, others argue that the culture could use a bit more gravity. Agent Espo and I dive into the diverse perspectives shaping American gun culture, exploring how we—as content creators, reviewers, and writers—can address the negative undertones within our own circles. From dispelling myths to fostering a welcoming vibe, we’ll discuss ways to bring more folks into the fold and make gun ownership a regular thing for all. Tune in for a candid, no-filter chat!

TFB Behind the Gun #157: The Competitive Spectrum at The Proving Grounds 56:15

6 weeksที่แล้ว56:15

56:15

Today we're back in the studio with Dan, Matt, and Chris - all competitors in The Proving Grounds, a set of competitions that takes place in the Southeastern region of the united states and is open to all levels of shooters who want to get out there and test their skills with their weapons in a friendly and competitive environment. This time, Matt and Dan are back to talk with us about their TSS or Tactical Sniper Series competition. This competition takes the typical two-gun format and flips the focus to long-range shooting and team communication as the paramount skills needed to be a winner here along with your shooting partner for the day. To that end, Matt and Dan have also brought along special guest Chris with them who is a bonafide active Military Sniper instructor who is not only a competitor in the Proving Grounds, but also has helped shape some of the courses for the TSS match so that they have some real good training potential in them aside from just the competitive aspect. In addition to Chris sharing some of his professional insights with us, we'll also talk to the boys to hear about the competition, the mindset behind it, what to expect if you show up to a match, and, of course what they'll be running for this year's TSS match. Please give a warm welcome back to Dan, Matt, and now Chris from The Proving Grounds Competition!…

TFB Behind the Gun #156: Hamming It Up w/ Hammy3DPrints 54:32

7 weeksที่แล้ว54:32

54:32

Back during SHOT Show 2025 on TFBTV Show Time, we took some time to speak with Mr. Hammy3DPrints. Going mostly by "Hammy" online, Hammy has turned the hobby of 3D printing into a business that's mostly centered around the firearms industry. Gun storage is not just an important factor to consider when you have guns in the home, it's also one area where a lot of people tend to have trouble finding displays that are both functional and affordable. Hammy has made a large part of his business dedicated to exactly that - organization. Today, we'll talk about some of his designs, what initially got him into 3D printing, and how he has managed to turn that from a single printer into a new army of printers producing thousands of parts for everything from killflashes for your optics to displaying your favorite guns and rare pieces of ordnance. If this sounds like something you need in your life or at least in your garage or gun room, go ahead and check out his website where he's probably got something you'd probably find useful on your guns or where you store your guns. https://hammy3dprints.com/ https://www.instagram.com/hammy3dprints/ https://www.amazon.com/stores/Hammy3DPrints/page/48764922-D976-4F8C-81C6-4AD9971218F2 https://www.facebook.com/people/hammy3dprints/100088235853951/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/Hammy3DPrints…

TFB Behind the Gun #155: Gun Tinkering w/ The Carry Handle Podcast 57:25

8 weeksที่แล้ว57:25

57:25

Firearms customization has been around for probably as long as firearms have. This week on TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast we’ve brought back the hosts from The Carry Handle Podcast - Kevin and Bryce - to talk about an often hotly debated topic: Do you or Don’t you modify your guns? As Americans, we have access to a litany of firearms and related accessories. In some cases and for a lot of us, our first AR-15 was probably made entirely out of individually purchased parts rather than sold as a complete rifle. Today Bryce and Kevin will discuss whether or not they like to approach firearms this way and why. As you’ll see everything is not so black and white, but when it comes to tweaking and progressively updating firearms, you’ll find that not everyone is on the same page. Please give a warm welcome back to the guys from The Carry Handle Podcast - Bryce and Kevin! The Carry Handle Podcast on YouTube https://www.instagram.com/thecarryhandlepodcast/…

1:06:54

On today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast we've brought on competitive Grand Master shooter Steve Foster to talk a bit about not just himself, but about some of the great things he's been getting up to lately. Steve is a highly accomplished Steel Challenge shooter having gained GM in multiple disciplines as well as setting the world record 58.42 second time for any division of Steel Challenge . Being a competitive shooter, Steve naturally tinkered with his guns and through that tinkering not only did he wind up starting his own custom parts business, but he also happened to become familiar with the parts of Karl Van Keuren and his Crazy Ivan Brand. Although the Crazy Ivan brand hasn't seen much activity in the years since Karl's passing today we've got some great news for fans of the brand and of shooting in general. Around the start of the new year Steve and his company Creekside Custom announced that they would be taking over the Crazy Ivan brand and continuing production of his most popular products like the OG Chassis for the 10/22, as well as giving customers new products as well that build off of Karl's original vision and drive. Much like Karl, Steve himself is driven not only by his desire to have the parts that he likes for his guns but to share his experience and enjoyment of firearms with others as you'll hear today in the pocast. Please give a warm welcome to Steve Foster in this week's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast! www.creeksidecustomlasering.com www.facebook.com/creeksidecustomlasering www.facebook.com/CrazyIvanEnterprisesLLC https://www.instagram.com/fostershooting/?hl=en https://stevefostershooting.com/…

TFB Behind the Gun #153: Spartan Hunting Thoughts w/ Rob Gearing 1:02:46

10 weeksที่แล้ว1:02:46

1:02:46

This week on TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome back backcountry hunting veteran and founder of Spartan Precision Equipment, Mr. Rob Gearing. If you tuned in last time, you’ll recall that Rob and I explored Spartan Precision’s extensive range of bipods and tripods—renowned for their forward-thinking, modular design and dependable performance in tough conditions. But today, we’re focusing on another one of Rob’s driving passions: backcountry hunting. Backcountry hunting is one of the few hunting-related subjects I’ve been fascinated with in more recent years. Rob, has spent decades traveling the world—venturing into the rugged mountains of New Zealand, the sweeping plains of Africa, and the remote wilderness of Scotland—all in pursuit of challenging hunts. He’s here to share the invaluable experience and insight he’s gained along the way, shedding light on the essential gear, physical preparation, and mindset needed to thrive in some of the most demanding environments on Earth and combine it with the skills to bring home the kill. While Spartan Precision Equipment might be best known for their featherweight Javelin bipod—tipping the scales at just a few ounces—they also offer a broad lineup of versatile shooting supports, from the Sentinel tripod to the Davros head. Thanks to Rob’s constant drive for innovation, these products are designed to help hunters stay agile and adaptable in unpredictable terrain. During our conversation, we’ll touch on how his deep-rooted passion for hunting fuels the design process, and how he hopes these breakthroughs can encourage more people to take part in backcountry adventures. So whether you’re a seasoned hunter or just curious about this exhilarating pursuit, join us for a deep dive into Rob Gearing’s world. You’ll hear captivating stories from his decades-long career, practical advice for getting started, and a wealth of tips on staying safe and successful in remote wilderness settings. Our hope is that this episode inspires more hunting enthusiasts—both novice and veteran—to discover the unique challenges and rewards of backcountry hunting. https://www.instagram.com/spartanprecision/ https://www.facebook.com/spartanprecisionequipment https://www.youtube.com/user/javelinbipod/…

Working in this industry full–time and hosting this podcast I get to talk to a lot of interesting characters, but I don’t often get to meet them in person very often. SHOT Show is one of the few times during the year that I finally get to meet people in person that I’ve only ever known online. This year, I caught up with Emmanuel—owner and operator of Ares Combat Systems as well as American Steppe Gear—who helped put one of the coolest 5.56 AKs I’ve ever tested into my hands and is one of the only companies in the US to produce hunting gear specifically designed for school-aged children. A U.S. Army veteran, Emmanuel has worked on everything from soft goods to firearms and is now shifting his sights to the night vision world with his new Helios solar-charging battery pack. We discussed his transition from military service to gun industry entrepreneur, along with the origins and development of Helios—designed to be a powerful, portable solution for on-the-go charging for night vision and thermal devices.

TFB Behind the Gun #149: Navigating Tricky IL Gun Laws w/ Dave S 1:12:42

1:12:42

Welcome back to another episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast. Today I'd like to introduce all of you to Dave S who not only has a ton of experience in today's topic but also has a lifetime of experience working with small arms and even crew-served weapons as part of the U.S Army. In addition to his skillsets, Dave has also been an avid supporter of both TFB and TFBTV so when the topic of Illinois gun law came up, I could think of no one better to talk to than him. Today Dave is going to take us through the considerably confusing world of firearms ownership in the State of Illinois. While it is indeed possible to own guns in IL, the current laws on the books combined with the culture that's put out by the media mean that a lot of people just don't know what the rules are when it comes to buying, owning, and using firearms in their home state. Dave has spent a lifetime collecting, building, and shooting guns in IL and is here today to help guide us through the processes we'd need to go through if we lived in the state too. So please give your attention and a warm welcome to David S! David posts about firearms topics and thoughts every Monday on Facebook. If you're interested in speaking with him about any firearms-related topics, you can check out his posts here.…
