TFB Review: XS Minimalist OR Sights & Optics Plates
by Daniel Y on April 26, 2025 at 12:00 am
Pistol-mounted red dots have moved from a novelty to a standard item with amazing speed. Most manufacturers sell optics-ready guns from the factory now and a whole industry exists to retrofit standard slides for red dot mounting. XS Sights has been in the game of manufacturing iron sights and scope rails for many, many years. Well, XS is getting into the pistol dot game with the Minimalist Optic Mount Bundle which contains both a mounting plate AND irons that are the perfect height.
POTD: The GLOCK 45 MOS Hunter Edition
by Eric B on April 25, 2025 at 11:30 pm
I have a pretty new Glock G45 MOS, with front serrations and a threaded barrel. As I visited the IWA exhibition in Germany, I got very tempted to upgrade to the new Glock 45 MOS Hunter Edition, as shown here. My excuse for the less-than-optimal image quality, that this is the reality as one tries to fight for a quick look “alone” among hundreds of others. The pistol is, of course, secured with a steel cable, making things even more tricky.
Fudd Friday: Thompson/Center Makes A Comeback In 2025
by Zac K on April 25, 2025 at 11:00 pm
Once upon a time, there was a firearms manufacturer that was basically built by, and built for, the fudd market. Then Smith & Wesson bought it and closed it down after seemingly not knowing what to do with it. That company was Thompson/Center, and guess what—they’re back for 2025. They’re just starting to roll out new-production firearms to the market. Here’s what that looks like right now, and what it looks like we can expect in the coming months and years.
