    Episode 107 - What Is Gun Camp? Feat. Rapper Twista

    Get ready to dial up the energy because we've got Twista in the hot seat in this episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast! A lifelong resident of the city of Chicago, Twista isn't just a rapper, he's an avid firearms enthusiast who has a passion specifically for handguns, and also for training others. Known for his lightning-fast flow and razor-sharp lyricism in the recording room, and even faster splits on the USPSA range, Twista wants to bring the fun back into firearms for the people of Illinois. That's why we're happy to have him on today to talk about SHOT Show 2024, and some of his favorite guns and shooting sports. We'll also get a chance to hear him talk about how his early passion for firearms eventually led him to open up Gun Camp - a free firearms training facility where the people of Chicago can get the necessary training to acquire the infamous Illinois FOID card, as well as their concealed carry license. Today I think you'll be surprised to hear just how much Twista loves his guns, and how much more enthusiastic he is about training others for self-defense. Please welcome Chicago Rapper Twista to the show!

During today's show, our host Pete, and the OSD team delves into the pivotal role of 3D-printed firearms in the upcoming years. Additionally, they discuss the legality surrounding electronically triggered firearms and explore why the ATF may be focusing on this specific feature, which has gained popularity in the DIY firearm community.

    TFB Behind the Gun #104: Andrew Wright with SureFire

    A few weeks ago at SHOT Show 2024, our Editor-in-chief got out on the SHOT Show floor and recorded a couple of episodes for us. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be spacing those episodes out here and today we'll check out the first one from our good friend Andrew Wright at SureFire LLC. Naturally, Pete would want to visit their booth this year as he's not only our resident suppressor aficionado but also the brains behind the blog's weekly series Silencer Saturday. Today Pete and Andrew discuss some of the recent successes of SureFire, their recent launch of the much anticipated SureFire SOCOM RC3 suppressor, and course their healthy lineups of pistol, rifle, handheld, and other high-powered lighting gear. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy the first of these episodes from Pete at SHOT Show 2024!

Ep #71 took me back

Took me way back, to the 80’s when I was helping to train a team for the “Nijmegen Military March”, 4 marathons on 4 consecutive days is the definition of brutal, top it with boots, full lbe/Alice pack and an AR, you get the picture. Great show!

Please fix the audio

This is 5 star content with 1 star audio. I have to crank up the volume to barely hear it and then a notification from a text is like an explosion. Sometimes the speakers are at totally different volume levels. Please address this so I can give you the 5 stars the content deserves.
