TFB Review: Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F 9mm COA
by Adam Scepaniak on June 24, 2026 at 12:00 am
One of the dominating trends in the firearms industry for the last decade has been red dots on handguns. If we narrow our focus to trends in 2026, then we absolutely need to mention the growing adoption of the Aimpoint COA, an enclosed emitter red dot built for harsh duty use. What does “COA” stand for? Nobody knows… internet lore says possibly Closed Optic Assembly while others argue Combo A-Cut (referring to the slide cut required to mount this optic).

Florida Court Kills the Under-21 Concealed Carry Ban
by Josh C on June 23, 2026 at 11:00 pm
Florida's ban on concealed carry for adults aged 18 to 20 is gone. On June 17, 2026, the state's Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled in Eubanks v. State that section 790.06(2)(b), Florida Statutes, is facially unconstitutional as to young adults ages 18 to 20. That's the provision in the licensing law that set the floor at 21. A unanimous three-judge panel said the age cutoff can't be squared with the Second Amendment, and the state's own Attorney General agreed.
New Valhalla Gen 2 Bipod From Spartan Precision Equipment
by Eric B on June 23, 2026 at 6:00 pm
A good bipod isn't just about keeping the muzzle off the ground. It's a stability system that lets a shooter manage recoil, control follow-through, and call shots with confidence. In prone, a bipod replaces the shooter's supporting arm, freeing it for trigger control and loading. In field positions, a bipod can anchor the front of the rifle against a pack, a log, or uneven terrain where a sling or hand position won't cut it. For hunters glassing and then transitioning to a shot, fast deployment and a wide footprint are what close the gap between a spotted animal and a clean hit.
