Welcome back to the 300th episode of the Talking Lead Podcast, a "DUAL" part episode! Part 1: As we reach another mile stone in our podcasting journey we add another segment to the podcast. To help name the new segment Lefty brings in a panel made up completely of listeners, the Lead Head Brigade. By holding a Lead Head Brigade YouTube "live" session we narrow down the list of names and vehicles Lead Heads have suggested to use for the "opposite of a Jackwagon" segment.

Part 2: Lefty has been testing out a variety of dual fuel flashlights over the past few months. Joining Lefty in 300 Part 2 is Michael Hess with ASP-Armament Systems & Procedures. Michael talks about ASP's Garda, Scribe and XT-DF duty light. We discuss the importance of dual fuel, flash light ratings, new ASP products and Michael hits us with a new Talking Lead Fact To Fight The Myth. Plus we announce a new social media giveaway contest where three Lead Heads will win an ASP XT-DF duty light and kit.

Welcome back to another episode of the Talking Lead AK Korner presented by Pioneer Arms Corp. For Part 11, joining Lefty as co-host, is CJ Johnson, president of Pioneer Arms USA. Our guests are retired Green Beret and Author, Jeff Kirkham and returning AK-K guest, Owner of Mesa Kinetic Research and Reality TV Star, Vincent Buckles.

Jeff Kirkham served 29 years as a Green Beret and during that time he spent 8 years in Afghanistan and Iraq as a member of a Counter Terrorism Direct Action Unit. His rifle of choice? The AK-47. Jeff talks about why he preferred the AK and how it served him well.

Vincent Buckles was on Part 2 of our AK Korner where he brought in his experience as a lifelong gunsmith to talk about the different parts and varying designs of the AK-47. This time Vincent brings his many years of working on and using the AK-47 to Part 11 to talk about why the AK is such a formidable rifle. Vincent also takes his passion for the AK-47 to the next level by designing his own AK rifle the MKUltra!

Our guests answer your questions and Pioneer Arms Corp gives away another Hellpup!

We are back with another episode of the Talking Lead Podcast. Lefty and J-Mack continue the Talking Lead Optics 101 segment by having the Charlie Mike Precision team on to talk about their recent attempt at breaking the World's longest rifle shot record by attempting a 6170 yard shot. Retired Navy SEAL sniper, Charlie Melton and rifle designer Brad Stair are our guests to discuss how they prepared for the shot, the .408 Tejas ammo and rifle, the optics they used and the people that helped for this mind boggling 3.5+ mile trigger pull attempt. Charlie and Brad also answer your questions.

The Talking Lead Jackwagon Train buzzes by to pick up a fresh batch of Jackwagons.

Welcome back to the Talking Lead Podcast. In this episode our guest is Green Beret, Author, Inventor & Entrepreneur Jeff Kirkham. Also joining in on the conversation is Jarrad Markel of Student Of The Gun and Jacob Herman with Night Fision.

Jeff talks about his time as a Green Beret and how he has built his empire from his 30 years of experiences while in service. To the RATs Tourniquet, to Black Rifle Coffee to READYMAN Media and the Black Autumn novel series which was created as more of an emergency preparedness cautionary tale than a work of fiction.

The Talking Lead Jackwagon Train makes a much needed stop by the Leadquarters for a Jackwagon pick-up haul. Making the cut this trip is Pittsburgh for enacting 3 new gun control laws, & 2020 Presidential candidate Kamala Harris for her 2nd Amendment hypocrisy.

To counter all this "Jackwagonness" we have asked you Lead Heads to come up with the name and vehicle for a new segment that focuses on the good guys and gals out there that are doing good deeds and looking out for freedoms and rights in America. We read a few suggestions and have fun with it.

Welcome back to the Talking Lead Podcast! This episode Lefty is joined by newly confirmed Lead Head and friend Jeremiah "Big John" McCarthy. Big John is a writer for FMG Publications and a full time National Guardsman. The guys discuss what a firearm is designated as when it doesn't identify as a pistol nor a rifle nor a shotgun. But before we get into the topic at hand the Gunny rolls in with the Talking Lead Jackwagon Train. Earning seats for this ride are a pellet shooting Nashvillian , A vote-buying politician, an abused Oscar fish and more.

Also bringing clarity to the "Firearm" topic is Steve and Tracy Troy of Troy Industries. During our visit to the Big 3 East Media Event we had the great opportunity to catch up on all the new projects and products Troy is putting out to the commercial, government and foreign markets. Everything from monolithic scope mounts to rifle slings to their new SOCC line of firearms and more. TROY's SOCC Line of rifles are lightweight and ultra-low profile. Developed specifically for today’s war fighter and led by Special Operations field requirements.

Aloha Lead Heads! After a short "work" vacation the Talking Lead Podcast is back. Lefty fills you in on what he's been doing during the break to kick the show off. The backlog of Jackwagons has been building up during Lefty's time off so we call in the Gunny with the Talking Lead Jackwagon Train to haul off a train full. Then we continue our Buck Knives' 2019 SHOT Show interviews with a slew of great companies which include Zenith Firearms (roller delayed blow back firearms), VK Integrated Systems (smart butt stocks) & Alpha Guardian (smart safes). Two worthwhile non-profit organizations drop by, Mike Sodini with Walk The Talk America & Joe Towers with Hero Hunt Inc., to tell us how you can get involved. And the Governor of Idaho, Brad Little stops by the Leadquartes to say "hey!" to all the Lead Heads.
