One of the lesser-known 9x39mm weapons is the OTs-12 “Tiss,” an unusual small arm developed in the late Soviet and early post-Soviet period. Created at the Tula Central Design Bureau of Sporting and Hunting Weapons (TsKIB SOO), the rifle was intended as a compact

Some rifles are built for general use. Others are purpose-built to stretch distance and deliver consistency shot after shot. The Geissele MRGG MK1 falls firmly into the latter category, with roots in the U.S. SOCOM Very Long-Range Semi-Automatic Sniper System program. There aren’t too many of these around, but a local DMR match opened an opportunity to see one.

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we finished up the last part of our holster rundown series, so if you happened to miss that, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I wanted to look at some of the best cover garments that can be worn during the summer months. These three are fairly well known in the community, but having a breathable, lightweight option to carry a larger handgun under can be tricky to find. I use all three of these options and figured it would be an interesting perspective for some of you who don't necessarily have a good way to conceal a larger firearm during the summer months without struggle. Let's take a closer look at the best cover garments for concealed carry.

The Weatherby Mark V Carbon Compact is a purpose-built, lightweight rifle designed for smaller-statured shooters or anyone who prefers a shorter length of pull. Built around Weatherby’s lighter 6-Lug Standard Action, it pairs a compact stock with a BSF carbon fiber barrel to deliver a rifle that is easier to handle without sacrificing premium performance.

Springfield Armory is offering quite an incentive for purchasers of Model 2020 rifles. From now through August 31st, if you purchase an eligible Model 2020 you can get a free XD-M in 10mm! Keep reading for all the details.

Today I’ve brought back a good friend and a friendly rival at many competitions I’ve been to, Mr. Les Winner, owner of Polaris Logistics. He and his company are both key players in firearms shipping and helping competitive shooters legally transport guns internationally for matches. Today, Les and I recount some of his performance, frustrations, and struggles at the Moons Out 2026 Night Vision carbine match put on annually by Forgotten Weapons and Nocturn Industries. Les also takes some time to share his experiences as Range Master and Match Director, explains how he refines the match yearly with his team of dedicated range officers, and explains some of the theory and reasoning behind some of the features of each stage.

In the world of revolvers, Smith & Wesson is one of the juggernauts of the market with a plethora of options ranging in size and caliber. Their reintroduced the Nightguard line with the 386 and 396 models, both Lipsey’s exclusive variants that offer lightweight options in an L Frame, allowing for concealability and firepower, but what are they like to shoot? Let's take a closer look at the new Smith & Wesson 386 Nightguard.

CBRN officer, post-collapse. The suit's sealed, the Glock's raised, the city's already lost. That sickly moon filters through a smog layer that hasn't cleared in years. The air outside is the colour of old concrete. Not grey exactly, more like the memory of colour, bleached and contaminated into something that sits heavy in the lungs. Or would, for anyone breathing it. He sure isn't.

The old saying goes: "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight”. But the Meligun MG-22 is a knife you could actually bring to a gunfight. Meligun, based in the United States, has built something that genuinely blurs the line between blade and firearm. The MG-22 is a fixed-blade knife with a six-shot .22 LR revolver mechanism built directly into the handle.

We have previously covered the Wyoming State Shooting Complex, a major state-sponsored range facility coming to the Cody area. The site has now had an official groundbreaking, and the Civilian Marksmanship Program is stepping up to with a challenge grant to help fund the development. The CMP will match funding raised for the new complex up to $10 million. Their partnership in the site is far more than simple funding, though.

Rideout Arsenal, makers of the most innovative pistol of 2025, the Dragon, recently announced their intention to leave their home State of Virginia, citing the passing of new restrictive laws.

Silly as it might seem, the world of muzzleloaders is constantly upgrading and changing to new technologies (similar to the world of bowhunting—try to figure that one out). But one thing has stayed constant over the past five decades. Pyrodex, the black powder substitute that many front-stuffer shooters prefer for its convenience, is celebrating 50 years on the market.

Magnum Research has teamed up with Iron Monkey Rifle Works to unveil a new limited-edition take on one of the most recognizable handguns on the market: the Desert Eagle. Dubbed the “Dueling Katanas,” this latest release blends the platform’s well-known .50 AE performance with an extensive level of custom finishing and artistic detail.

“Okay, What do I do?” When you can’t nuke the xenomorphs from orbit, it’s time to pull out your M41A Pulse Rifle equipped with the Manticore Ripley Rail. (over/under pump action 30mm grenade launcher sold separately)

Back in January, seemingly out of nowhere, Colt Optics emerged and within a couple of months they’d launched their first commercial products and announced that their 1-6 LPVO had been selected by the Canadian Army. TFB had the opportunity to sit down to talk to Colt Optics’ CEO Matt Van Haaren about the ethos of the new company and its aims for the future.

Designated Marksman Rifles continue to evolve, and the latest iteration from Steyr Arms was on display at IWA OutdoorClassics 2026. The Steyr DMR 762 sits squarely in the space between standard service rifles and dedicated sniper systems, built around the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge. The optic is a Zero Compromise ZCO210, with a 2-10x magnification.

Welcome back to TFB’s Small Business Spotlight! In this weekly column, we take a look at small firearm-related businesses. Today’s company is Sun and Shadow, a manufacturer of precision shooting accessories from Daytona Beach, Florida.

SK Customs, the custom firearms division of SK Guns, has announced a limited-edition recreation of the Colt 1911 associated with Chicago Prohibition-era crime figure Al Capone, known as the "Sweetheart." The run is limited to 200 units, chambered in .45 ACP, and follows the classic Government Model configuration.

Kahles has introduced the K864, a high-magnification riflescope developed specifically for F-Class competition. Rather than adapting an existing platform, the K864 has been designed from the ground up to meet the demands of long-range precision shooting, where small margins and environmental awareness play a decisive role. TFB took a closer look at it at IWA in Germany.

It has been a wild year for gun rights in the U.S., with SHOT Show basically being open season for suppressors—but on the other hand, we see a lot of states, particularly in the east, advancing anti-gun laws. One of the states that has been busiest is Rhode Island, with a new ban on “military-style” weapons coming into play, along with a ban on magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds.

Magpul has announced the release of a new color option, Modified Coyote Brown (MCB), across a selection of its existing AR-platform accessories. First shown earlier this year at SHOT Show 2026, the new finish is now available on multiple products through Magpul’s website and retail channels.

Steyr has a new series of straight-pull rifles. The RMS Wild builds on the Monobloc design, where the barrel and receiver are made from a single continuous piece of steel. Keep reading for all the details.

The Tennessee House and Senate passed HB 1802 along party lines this week, a bill that lowers the standard for when a property owner can use deadly force to protect their property. But a prominent state gun rights group says the legislation doesn't actually do what its sponsors claim.

Two rifles, same role, and found in the same competition with their proud owners. These rifles have been approached from slightly different directions and have been built around the Schmeisser Pro Hunter 18” and the Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 Pro - both configured as suppressed platforms.

Remington’s line of 22LR ammunition hasn’t always had the best reputation in the rimfire world. While the classic Remington Bucket O Bullets is still a staple of many a rimfire plinking sessions, many people swear up and down that the ammunition is majorly flawed in one way or another. Thankfully, I’ve been able to get my hands on what has to be the last of what I think is the end of the old generation of Remington Cyclone 22LR 36 grain Hollow Points. As we’ve discussed in the past, Remington has been under new management, and with that, they’ve reformulated a few of their most popular ammo lines, including 22LR and Cyclone. While I’ve yet to get my hands on some of the new stuff, I thought it’d be fun to take a look at some of this infamously dirt-cheap 22LR plinking ammo and how it performs out of our stock 10/22 test platform.

Davranov has introduced a new limited edition version of its Python Plate Carrier, bringing a distinct visual profile to an otherwise performance-focused load-bearing platform. The limited release centers around a unique finish while retaining the core design features of the standard Python system. I have to say I’ve never seen anything quite like it before.

ZEISS has announced the Conquest Apia 20-50x65, a compact angled spotting scope aimed at hunters and shooters who prioritize portability without giving up optical performance. The scope weighs 47.6 ounces and measures 11.7 inches in length, with a retail price of $1,499.99.

Trijicon has expanded its VCOG lineup with a new Flat Dark Earth (FDE) version of the VCOG 1-8x28 riflescope.
