Until next week, have fun & safe shooting!

In this explosive episode, we dive into the controversial interview between Tim from Military Arms Channel and Phil Strader of SIG Sauer, where Tim appears to toe the company line on the SIG P320 — a pistol plagued by a growing number of documented failures and accidental discharges. Is this a case of honest skepticism, or did Tim just sell out under the pressure of corporate influence?

We break down the interview, dissect the talking points, and compare them to the disturbing number of real-world reports and videos showing the P320’s dangerous flaws. Join us as we ask the hard questions: What happened to journalistic integrity in the gun community? Who’s really looking out for the shooter? And what does this mean for the future of honest firearm reviews?

If you're tired of influencers choosing sponsorships over safety, you won't want to miss this episode.

In this episode John and Kailey sit down with Bob Faxon and Dustin Wallace of Faxon Firearms to dive deep into the roots, innovation, and unwavering mission behind Faxon Firearms. You’ll hear how a TV show ignited a furious spark that led to the creation of the legendary ARAC rifle, and how a legacy of precision manufacturing shaped everything from pencil barrels to next-gen suppressors. From a kitchen table sketch to one of the most respected names in firearms—this is the Faxon Firearms story you’ve never heard.

For our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc this week we have a question. What is an FRT? After a years-long criminal campaign to target an American gun company, the Federal government has ceased their unlawful persecution of Rare Breed Triggers and been forced to admit what we have known all along, FRTs are NOT machineguns.

Also, are Americans preparing for the worst? Fox News recently did a news piece where they traveled to Gunsite Academy in Arizona to find out why people are taking training.

What the hell is an “ungun”? During our SOTG Homeroom, we will consider the plethora of “less-than-lethal” devices that are shaped like guns but are not actually guns. Are they a good solution?

In Episode 341, we listen to some of the touching thoughts from past guests as we transition from the weekly show to the live show. Learn more about our podcast at Prepping 2-0.com

Dear WLS

Duke Of Crude - Hey fam, I’m needing some help with a build. I have a sight mark wraith 4K mini on a keltec RFB. I need to mount some kind of IR flashlight to help with night shooting on the farm. What recommendations would you have for an IR flashlight with a mount? The keltec RFB is kind of limited on rail space and the top rail is getting a little crowded with the digital optic and an offset red dot I am using for faster shooting in daytime. Mostly this rifle will be used for night time hog hunting or night time training. Thanks for your help!Duke

Ballpark Frank - Dear Jeremy, When you’re giving savage backshots. Do you slap the back of his head as a sign of dominance or do you mistake it for his ass? #no notes

 

Steven S - How do you guys adjust the retention on your BRC holsters. I received a BRC holster as a gift. The retention was a loose so I contacted them to have it adjusted. I just got it back today and the damn thing is so tight I cannot remove my gun from the holster without tapping the holster with something like a hammer. I'm a over sending it in again and I'm just trying to fix it myself. Should I heat it up in the oven and try to stretch it while it's warm?

 

Mike C - This question is pure curiosity. Do any of you have experience with the Primary Weapons ratchet lock castle nut and end plate, and would you buy/use it? I know it's twice as much as a regular end plate and castle nut set, but would laziness justify the additional cost? I can't wait for Jeremy's rant on how this is stupid.

 

Peter J - Living in commie Washington, my son turned 21 and looking at strictly range guns. What would be the most fun type of gun in your opinion for him to get?

Steve B - Every now and then I get the urge to carry a revolver, as a backup or a quick run to the store gun. Seems like the Smith and Wesson 642 is a gold standard in that field but part of me likes the idea of a shrouded hammer in the Smith 638. Or am I going the wrong route altogether and should consider the Ruger LCR in 9mm over 38 special for a snub nose. Cast of WLS, what say you?
