Happy New Year Lead Heads! Welcome to the first episode of the Talking Lead Show of the new year, 2018, and it's a doozy!

Lefty travels down to the Glock facility in Smyrna Georgia for the big reveal of Glock's commercial release of their Army MHS XM19 submission, the G19x! A hybrid between Glock's G17 & G19 9mm pistols and includes most of the features that the recently released Generation 5 Glocks offer. And speaking of the Gen 5's they also are releasing the G26 & G34! Lefty talks with Josh Dorsey, Vice President of GLOCK Inc, about their new releases.

After getting some range time with the G19x, Lefty comes together with a few other media people to discuss the experience. Don Porter (aka Sootch00), Andre Dall'au (Big 3 East Media) and Sean Curtis (Police One & Gun World) give their thoughts on the G19x and the two new Generation 5 offerings. Of course it wouldn't be the Talking Lead show unless we get off topic, this episode it's Daisy Duke!

Wrapping up the trip to Glock Lefty is joined by Willie Parent (Director of Training & GSSG) , Chris Edwards (GSSF Match Coordinator/ Range Master) & Shane Coley (Team Glock Captain).

Willie and Chris talk about the recent "Gunny Challenge" in Talladega which had another Duke's of hazard special guest, John Schneider, best known for his role as Beauregard "Bo" Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard.! Great story about how John Schneider used his bow and arrow on a steel target. Shane talks about his role as Team Glock Captain & some of his 2017 match experiences. Next we get everyone's take on the new Glock G19x and Willie tells us what a "biscuit shovel" is ...?

Welcome back to the final episode for 2017 of the Talking Lead show! This episode Lefty sets up the Leadquarters at On Target Gun Range in Murfreesboro Tennessee, His guest is none other than THE Jacob Herman.

Jacob is always a hoot when he's on the show and this episode is no different. Jacob tells us about the new company he has joined Night Fision and their quality tritium sights. Based in Detroit, Night Fision brings a rich background of automotive engineering, manufacturing and expertise in tritium illumination to the firearm industry. Cammenga, Night Fision's sister company, is the official manufacturer of the U.S. Army's Tritium Lensatic Compass.

In the process of finding out about Jacob's new company and products, it was a whirlwind of conversations and discussions that included everything from FALs to 4-wheelers to explosives to taxidermy, to the Ithaca Road Block 12ga shotgun to Saturday Night Live to...lots more!! Hilarious!

The guys make time to throw a few more Jackwagons on the Talking Lead Jackwagon Train before the end of the year and one last Facts To Fight The Myth for 2017.

Happy New Year Lead Head Brigade!

Thanks for joining us for another episode of the Talking Lead Podcast. This week Nick Atkinson of Beast Master Hunting joins Lefty to talk about his recent Brown Bear hunt in Alaska.

Nick traveled to Alaska during bear season to try his luck at bagging a brown bear. It's not your typical hunting trip and not for the faint of heart or wallet. It takes detailed planning, focused preparation and a trunk full of greenbacks to hunt Alaska. Lefty and Nick give you all the details from Nick's nearly month long hunt, the glassing, the tracking, the close encounters and the one that got away!

The Gunny and the Talking Lead Jackwagon Train rolls in to pick up a new batch of Jackwagons. The guys have some fun picking apart all the gun faux pas on the Walking Dead's latest season. How can a gas operated rifle fire without the bolt moving, no brass ejected, no recoil and produce muzzle flash? Nick and Lefty give you their theories. Also making the TLJWT discussion this week is the recent massacre shooting at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs in Texas. Instead of focusing on the Jackwagon-shooter the guys talk about the two brave Americans that confronted and stopped evil, Stephen Willeford and Johnnie Langendorff.

FYI...don't miss the ending sign off!
