TFB Behind the Gun #140: Competitive Shooter Wade Reed
by Luke C. on November 14, 2024 at 2:00 pm
Today on the podcast we’ll be speaking with competitive shooter and friend Wade Reed for an in-depth conversation about the booming world of competitive shooting and its impact on the broader firearms community. This time, we’re diving into some of Wade's latest contributions to the firearms industry, including the development of new rimfire ammunition and fresh variants of his innovative Mark IV Carbine that are set to make their debut at SHOT 2025 which is alarmingly just around the corner. If you’ve ever been interested in getting into competitive shooting, I’ve always recommended starting with rimfire, and in today’s episode, you’ll hear Wade echo that sentiment. He shares his own experiences in shooting sports and as a firearms designer, offering insights into why rimfire is a great entry point for newcomers to the sport.
Wheelgun Wednesday: Smith & Wesson Model 20 .357 Magnum
by Adam Scepaniak on November 14, 2024 at 3:34 am
We’re back for another edition of Wheelgun Wednesday, and this week we are taking a look at a likely overlooked distributor exclusive offering from Smith & Wesson in the “N” frame Model 20 . Currently, Smith & Wesson offers 18 unique revolvers via their Classic series with rich, deep bluing and gorgeous wood grips. This includes 2 different Model 20 wheelguns, and we’ll eventually get to both today, but our main focus is going to be on the 6” barreled revolver. Both of the Model 20 revolvers that Smith & Wesson is manufacturing are only available through Davidson’s as an Exclusive offering to dealers; thus, the general public. So, we are going to take a look at this heavy duty “N” frame Smith & Wesson Model 20 .357 Magnum today to see what makes it special. Let’s dive in!
The Best 1911 Chambered in .45 ACP
by WesKL on November 14, 2024 at 1:00 am
I’ll never forget when I laid eyes on my grandpa’s 1911, I fell in love. Though the design is over 100 years old, it remains a favorite for many shooters and collectors. It’s a classic that’s served our country throughout the decades on the battlefield and at home. The 1911 is reliable, accurate, and just freakin fantastic, but there are many options on the market, and some are frankly better than others. So, what is the best 1911 chambered in .45 ACP?
POTD: Suppressed Tikka T3x In Spuhr SICS Chassis
by Eric B on November 14, 2024 at 12:30 am
Photo Of The Day : The SICS chassis is made by Spuhr, and here it can be seen in one of the configurations I’ve given it over time. It has the new Schmidt & Bender 5-20x PMII in a Spuhr QD mount and an ASE Utra suppressor with a Cole-Tac cover. It’s chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, and this Tikka is most likely the most accurate rifle I own as long as I feed it with the right ammunition. That fact, and because I needed a host for the mighty Schmidt & Bender 5-45x that’s what made me go for a higher magnification. The S&B 5-20x is great on semi-autos and DMR.
