Did you ever wonder why leading suppressors like BANISH Suppressors are made out of titanium? Sure, the obvious weight reduction comes to mind, but titanium offers much more than just a reduction in weight. Even though suppressor manufacturers still use heavy steel in their suppressor construction, BANISH chose early on to be all titanium. Let’s take a look at a few of the things that make a titanium suppressor the only logical choice for suppressor users.

• Lightweight: Nobody likes extra weight on the end of their rifle or pistol. It changes the balance of the gun, and affects how the gun …

NASCAR appears to be the latest to succumb to anti-gun hysteria and ban advertising for certain types of guns, in particular so-called “assault style weapons” and “sniper” rifles. After refusing ads from K-Var and Dark Storm Industries, the racing behemoth has been quiet about their gun advertising policy. This distinctly left of center shift on policy surprised and angered many gun owners and racing fans. After all, NASCAR attracts a particular demographic that has a strong overlap with gun ownership. So what’s going on, and why is this a big deal, …

One thing we hear a lot of at FFL123, is that our program is “just a scam” or that “it charges to just get publicly available forms” or variations on those themes. Now it is to be expected that various naysayers, detractors and self appointed internet and gun show experts will talk poorly about things they don’t understand, so we decided to lay it all out and address these claims, and why they are absurd.

It is absolutely true that the forms we include in the FFL123 program are public record and frankly fairly easy …

Did you know it is possible to legally manufacture and own machine guns, despite the ban on new registration of machine guns that has been in place since 1986? And did you know FFL123 can help you get the licenses you need to engage in that business?

With the addition of the infamous Hughes Amendment to the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act, the registration of machine guns under the National Firearms Act of 1934 ended, cutting off law abiding American gun owners, collectors, sport shooters, experimenters, inventors and hobbyists from acquiring any additional full auto firearms.

It’s been an odd few years since the election of Donald Trump. I remember the day he was elected to great applause at the SHOT Show. Finally, after years of having our rights constantly under assault, we could take a breath. We had a pro-gun President. Since then, we have also acquired a pro-gun supreme court and a bump stock ban that was unilaterally passed in a moment of great overreach. It’s a strange time, but things are going to get weirder.

2020 is well on its way, and as an election year the Democratic challengers are lining up to run …

The Mossberg Shockwave is not a shotgun technically, but it revitalized the shotgun industry. This little guy gets by as not a shotgun because it has never had and never will have a stock on it. If this gun is not a shotgun it can have a barrel that’s as short as you want it to be, as long as the overall length is 26 inches. The Shockwave was released in 2017 to great acclaim, including my own. In 2018 we saw the unveiling of the 590M series. The 590M series are pump action shotguns that incorporated a detachable box …
