January 18, 2021 Tales of the Woke Gun Owner Ep 284
Some of us survived the Purge. So we decided to record a show.

Ask us questions if you want. Or not. The most controversial questions get Tommy's new Telegram account...

Richard Ingram

How good can you get just dry firing and saving ammo/primers for matches?

Peter Wiktorski

What lake should I avoid in the coming weeks? I want to be sure that there are not too many "boating accidents" creating an artificial reef.

Sean Edmunds

How come you guys aren’t coming to NC for Area 6?

Thomas Everett Hudson

What the hell are we about to get ourselves into? You thought 2020 was bad, here comes 2021. How do we recover from this great divide?

Sebastian Muñoz

What do you guys think about Wheaton barrels? A buddy of mine dropped one in and got about 3 jams on unload and show clear.

Couldn't eject live round. My advice was to not mess with the glock perfection. Any advice on how to fix issue?

Marshall Kear

With the prices primers are selling for at auction sites, have you considered selling any? I’m seriously weighing how long I think it will be before or if the shortage is over vs making a small fortune.

Derk Hopkins

How do you guys pack for an air travel match? What do you bring with?

Alex Coco Wendt

Your thoughts on offset red dots on a AR

Kepler Kramer

I have this bad rash on my junk, can Robert take a look?

Trevor Toone

To kilt or not to kilt? What is your answer?

What weight of "Captains of Crush" can Kenny close.

Lex Konishi

Bear market on gun sales... Anti-gunners new tactic?... buy all the guns and ammo so no one can have them?

CJ Daniel

If each person could only have one pistol for the rest of their life, what would it be. Not one “model” or “series”, but one single serial number pistol. It’s all you’d have for CCW, competition, zombies, coming war with commies...

Klay Grover

How about the elephant in the room. A couple of weeks ago it was like daddy hit mommy at the dinner table. Are we really gonna all act like it didn't happen?

December 14, 2020 The Great Primer Shortage (Explicit)
Continuing the great primer shortage of 2020, Robert spent the week looking for more primers. Tommy in the other hand cursed all the online shoppers as he worked until 11pm every night. Jason Hunnicutt How can a gun run 100% through a 200 round practice session only to choke on the first stage of a match two days later. This has happened twice to me. James Derrick What are your thoughts on the ATF P80 raid and subsequent end user questioning? Macs Bloom If Dillon made a machine that allowed you to reload and reuse primers, how much do you think it would cost? And how dangerous would it be to operate? Peter Wiktorski I know that you have done "single stack off season" competition in the past, but have you ever spent time competing with sub compact or any of the more popular EDC pistols? Walter Phelps What kind of snacks can we leave? What’s the best options? Sebastian Muñoz Do UPS drivers like it when people leave snacks for you? What are the best kind of snacks? JU Underwood With the lack of ammo/components what do you think next seasons matches will look like? Were already discussing round counts for next year. Doing more IPSC style stages. A.J. Ellis What are you looking forward to most about the Great Primer Shortage of 2021?

November 30, 2020 Range Fire at the Koski Corral
What we lack in substance, we make up in consistency.. Join us tonight as we discuss the week in guns, Turkeys, creative ways to rig the vote process against your wife to get a majority of people voting in favor of you getting a new gun... Oh and questions. We answer those too. Especially the really good ones. None of that 'Why is the failure of management related to the slow death of IDPA?' kind of questions! Sean Edmunds Has anyone actually seen a Gen 5 40 caliber gun? I know 40 is somehow only effective in punching paper but some still believe it works for self defense. Sebastian Muñoz What new gun did you get? What new gun should I get? Robert C. Moreno Any advice on finding a level 3 holster for a Beretta 92x with a TLR-1HD? Safarilands holster finder sucks balls. Chris Potts I’m looking to grab a 92x. I’m sure that it has been discussed but is there any reason not to get a decocker only model? Chris Potts Are Biden’s cognitive abilities the only thing diminishing faster than IDPA membership? Chris Potts Have you guys considered having ‘big clouds’ come back for a second episode of ReloadCast? Alex Mansfield Here’s a few questions for the show: If you were USPSA king for a day what would you change? and why? Besides changing magazine capacity like stated in past shows what would you change in Carry Optics if anything?

November 25, 2020 Release the Kraken
Kenny shot a match, and the Kenosha kid got out on bail. So I guess we have some things to talk about. Unless you have some great questions to distract us from the National dumpster fire!

David Blanton

Does anything at a USPSA match complain more than a short left handed production shooter?

Sean Edmunds

It’s going to make great pod but... Robert as a lefty shooting revo how did you set up your belt? Loaders under your strong hand?

Douglas Dalske

Robert, How did you get the armory to let you hold "classes" at the range? I have a local indoor range that I'd like to do the same thing at.

Dutch Brogoitti

show is over but let's talk badges!

Dutch Brogoitti

Shadow 2 or Beretta elite LTT?

Glen Weeks

How to design a off season training plan

Nate Osborne

What is the best thing USPSA has done this year? And why is it online participation trophies or branded jackets?
