Welcome back to TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast, and a very Happy New Year to all our listeners, readers, and watchers here at TFB and TFBTV! After a whirlwind year of training courses, media events, and reviews with a variety of firearms, I’m excited to kick off our first episode of 2025 with an interesting topic brought up by one of our guests today: DMRs and shotguns. Even though these two platforms seem worlds apart, today's Bryce and Kevin will shed light on how they may share more in common than you’d initially suspect.

Today I’d like to welcome Colonel Julian T. Urquidez—Director of Operations for the U.S. Army Futures Command. The U.S. Army Futures Command is a fairly new department of the Army that specializes in modernizing the Army’s arsenal, from next-generation combat vehicles to advanced small arms. While the Colonel is no longer involved with the Trigger Empire project we covered at TriggrCon 2024, he is here today to tell us about a new project that will hopefully see the delivery of the industry’s first mass-produced AK Forced Reset Trigger.

In this week’s episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast, we’re going to have both old and new guests on the show. Today we’re talking about The Proving Grounds Competition now that our guests have had a chance to put themselves through it. Held annually at The Sawmill Training Complex in Laurens, South Carolina—a sprawling 240-acre training facility known for its top-tier tactical courses—The Proving Grounds thrusts competitors into an intense two-day gauntlet. Built around rifle, and pistol shooting, the match doesn’t just test your marksmanship; it tests grit, stamina, and mental fortitude by weaving in climbing, running, weighted carries, and other physically punishing obstacles in addition to many odd shooting positions.

This week I’m pleased to have on a good friend and fellow firearms podcaster Bryce who is one half of a duo that make up The Carry Handle Podcast. We’ve featured Carry Handle in a number of our past TFB Podcast Roundups, but today we have the pleasure of having Bryce right here in the studio with us. Today we’ll be going over the events that led up to the spawning of The Carry Handle Podcast, some opinions about the upcoming Gundies, and also take some time to talk about what is probably the hottest topic in a lot of circles right now - the United Health Care assassination and the firearm that was used to do it.

Westerns are a classic form of storytelling that is almost intrinsically tied to the image of the wheel-gun-toting hero or anti-hero. I’m a strong believer that revolvers in virtually every form are still popular today partially because they’re delightful to shoot, but they’re also strongly tied to the American identity. They evoke not only an aura of rugged individualism and frontier grit but also instantly give a tangible connection to a time when the line between survival and lawlessness was razor-thin. That’s why today TFB Writer Sam and TFBTV’s Hop and I are going to have a nice friendly conversation about some of our favorite wheel guns and their representation in film. We’d be happy for you guys to join the discussion, so leave a comment down below and let us know what your favorite silver screen wheel guns are!

On today’s episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast, I’m genuinely excited to have Rob Gearing joining us—a lifelong shooter, passionate hunter, and the mastermind behind Spartan Precision Equipment. A shooter/stalker based in the UK, Rob’s journey is nothing short of inspiring, and his company, founded back in 2013, has completely reimagined how we think about rifle and optic support systems. With a focus on lightweight, practical, tough designs, and second-to-none customer service coming from hunters like you, Spartan has set a new standard in the industry.

Today’s episode is a bit of a scatter, but after listening to it a couple of times, the jist is Cold War guns. Cold War guns are probably some of the most iconic firearms ever to grace media and are also probably a large part of why many of us became gun nerds in the first place. To help me flesh out this fun topic I’ve brought back on Proving Grounds competitors Matt and Dan to talk about not just their thoughts leading up to the competition, but also what some of their favorite firearms from Cold War era movies are and which ones they’d bring with them to a modern Cold War-inspired 2-Gun match if they could. Please welcome Matt and Dan of The Proving Grounds back to the show!

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.

Most of you know by now that I’m quite fond of firearms competitions in virtually any form. However, my favorite growing style of competition is of course the two-gun competition where the equipment list is typically more accessible to the average gun owner. Today we’ll learn from Matt and Dan of the Proving Grounds Competition that this is actually a key feature for them when it comes to the key goals of The Proving Grounds. According to Dan and Matt, provided you can afford the ammo and get yourself to South Carolina, anyone with an AR and a pistol and any type of plate carrier is welcome to participate and should be able to be competitive at The Proving Grounds. Today Matt and Dan will fill us in on everything you need to know should you decide to take the challenge for yourself at any one of the TPG competitions that takes place throughout the year.

Most of you will know that platforms like YouTube tend not to be so friendly with channels like TFBTV. While it would be nice if we could be treated equally on the platform, the sad reality is that we often just have to adapt to work around the new rules imposed on us. Moving to a new platform is a nice thought, but unless your entire audience moves with you, it’s a more or less fruitless endeavor. Joe of the YouTube Desk Pop has had a lot of struggles with YouTube and his channel lately and today we’ll discuss some of the ideas he has about how to keep his channel alive on YouTube while dealing with the common trends of demonetization and lack of support on the platform form YouTube itself.

Welcome back to TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast! This week, I’m joined by Darwin, our resident TFB writer and film aficionado, for a fun, off-the-cuff chat about our favorite modern military movie guns. We all know how it goes—gun enthusiasts like us can’t resist diving into heated debates and geeking out over the firearms that pop up in movies. Whether it’s a Sci-Fi epic, a Western classic, or a gritty military thriller, there’s always something to say about those cinematic guns. Today, Darwin and I are putting our picks on the table to talk about some of the coolest military movie guns, and maybe a few that are better left on the screen! We’ll also get into how these movie guns have sometimes shaped our own shooting habits—and even had an influence on the firearms industry. So, sit back, enjoy the episode, and don’t forget to share your favorite military movie guns with us. And, of course, let’s give Darwin a big welcome back to the show!

With the recent news of Hurricane Helene and talk of another already hitting roughly the same region, natural disaster preparedness has been on virtually everyone’s mind. While there isn’t much that can be prepared for now when it comes to the ongoing disaster situation in the southeast, we can always run our minds through similar sets of circumstances for our own areas to make sure we’re prepared. Naturally, all of us here at The Firearm Blog think firearms should be an integrated part of your natural disaster preparedness plans, and today we’ll hear from Sam and Cameron about what guns they typically have on hand when it comes to natural disasters in their areas.

Today on TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast we have the rare opportunity to talk to someone behind the scenes of the event - Mr. Dave Timm. Dave has been working with Rainer/TriggrCon for years and has spearheaded their own blog and YouTube channel Guns and Tactics. In addition to his years in the gun industry, Dave has also spent a lot of time in law enforcement, especially on the training side. With his background, David has decided to strike it out on his own and start offering his services again as a firearms trainer, both in person and on his revived YouTube channel Learning Firearms.

Today fellow writer Darwin and I dig into the U.S. Army’s new rifle and its strange hybrid-cased ammunition. The NGSW program and the resultant firearms that were selected have been met with both praise and disdain for several reasons. However, today the aim is to discuss some of the positives and the negatives of this platform and its cartridge, from the perspective of civilians, reloaders, and of course, guys who just love guns. We’d also like to hear your thoughts on the XM7 and its new cartridge. Thanks as always for listening!
