This year's NRA (National Rifle Association) Annual Meeting and Exhibits took place over Memorial Day weekend. Firearms manufacturers, advocacy groups, and media alike descended upon the city of Houston Texas for the three-day event. While the mainstream media may have put the firearms media event in a negative light, TFBTV's Hop and TFB's Austin Rex have a more positive take on NRAAM 2022. Join us today as we pontificate about this year's NRA Annual Meetings, and many other things perhaps only tangentially related to NRAAM 2022.

C&G Holsters is a family run business that was started in 2008 by Christopher J. Burns, its founder and President. Frustrated by his inability to find a quality Kydex holster, Chris decided to design and construct a Kydex holster that would be functional, practical, and reliable. Initially, Chris only made a few holsters in his garage for himself and his close friends. However, the reputation of Chris’ garage made holsters quickly spread through the local law enforcement and shooting communities and the demand for his holsters steadily increased. This was the birth of C&G Holsters. Today on the TFB B-Side podcast we have on several members of the C&G Holsters crew on to talk about their product, their histories and how they came to work for C&G holsters.

Today on the TFB B-Side podcast we invite Jake and Bryan - the founders of TANDEMKROSS to the show to talk about themselves and what their company does. TANDEMKROSS is very well known in the rimfire community for its high-quality aftermarket parts that allow the end user to select a platform they like, and then modify it as they please. Sometimes this means just one part and sometimes this also means nearly an entire gun being adapted and upgraded over time. I've been a huge fan of TANDEMKROSS products since I started shooting rimfire steel challenge and since then I've come to really appreciate the time and effort both Jake and Bryan have put into their company and their mission of making good guns great. Please welcome Jake and Bryan to the show!
Tim C is one of our newer writers and by all counts is a huge aficionado of AK pattern rifles. Tim started his shooting adventures at quite a young age as most of us do but his firearms proclivities quickly adapted from the common and often mundane popular market offerings and switched over to love and perhaps obsession for the oft-forgotten and obscure firearms frequently found in pawn shops and mom and pop gun stores. Today's episode is just a casual chat between Tim C and myself to help you all get a better feel about who Tim is, what he likes, and what his experiences have been so far with TFB. Please welcome Staff Writer Tim C to the show!
Angstadt Arms was born in an incredible time during the firearms industry as ARs and 9mm AR-style PCCs and pistols started to become extremely popular. Since then, Angstadt Arms has grown quickly and rapidly to meet consumer demand and along the way they've continued to innovate and provide firearms owners with quality, American Made guns with a price to match that quality. Please welcome Founder of Angstadt Arms Rich Angstadt to the show once again! About Angstadt Arms: Rich Angstadt started Angstadt Arms in 2014, the company was born from his passion for shooting sports and a desire to continue the dynasty of Angstadt master gun makers. Comprised of 10 skilled craftsmen, the Angstadt family of gun makers handcrafted long rifles for over 100 years during the 1700 and 1800 hundreds. These guns were a perfect blend of form and function – a work of art that could be used to gather food or defend your family. The modern Angstadt rifle is no different. Aided by the latest in design and manufacturing technologies, each firearm we build is machined from the best materials and equipment and hand-finished by skilled men and women (many of whom are veterans). The end result is a beautifully crafted firearm that will hold up to continued hard use and perform when you need it the most.
