Guns & Whiskey Coffee Table Book

Saturday, August 9th, 2025

July 2025, Texas – Firearms. Whiskey. Probably the perfect book! From Jeremy S., Deputy Editor of Shooting News Weekly, comes a new coffee table book titled Guns & Whiskey. 

Guns & Whiskey contains over 100 photographs, each a pairing of one firearm and one bottle of whiskey. Every gun and every bottle of booze also receives a brief review — sometimes brutal, sometimes hilarious — by photographer and experienced gunwriter, Jeremy S.

Firearms range from mild to wild, common to rare, war era to ultra modern. Likewise, the whiskeys in these pages span from $12 bottles to can’t-get-’em bottles, and Jeremy certainly doesn’t sugarcoat his opinions on any of it.

This full color, hardcover coffee table book is printed on 8.25″ x 11″ gloss paper and is a great addition to any “man cave,” whiskey lounge, bar, gun shop, shooting range, or living room. Perfect gift for father’s day or just ‘cuz! 

Guns. Whiskey. What more could you want?

Guns & Whiskey is available on Amazon HERE.

SIG SAUER Responds to Call by Florida Lawmaker to Ban P320 in State

Thursday, July 24th, 2025

Florida State Representative (R) Danny Alvarez penned an Op-Ed for Florida’s Voice entitled “Florida must prioritize safety: The case for ending law enforcement use of the Sig Sauer P320 pistol.” He bases this opinion on anecdotal evidence, the FBI Ballistics Lab Report, and the Air Force Global Strike Command’s safety stand down following a fatality earlier this week.

SIG SAUER responded by sending the following letter to Law Enforcement agencies in Florida. We have obtained a copy and the entire letter can be downloaded here.

The entire episode caught us off guard but we share it because we are located in Florida and we have received repeated feedback that SIG is not defending the pistol from the onslaught of online criticism. The letter is the most succinct and complete response we have seen from SIG on the issue.

The letter is respectful yet asserts their position on the P320. It states in part:

SIG SAUER is in direct contact with Representative Alverez and will continue to maintain an open, respectful, and direct dialog. While we respect Representative Alvarez as both an individual and elected official, we reject his assertion that the P320 poses an undue risk to Florida’s law enforcement community. We strongly disagree with his position, accusations, and inaccurate statements. His statements, while heartfelt, are misguided, misinformed and fueled by rhetoric as opposed to facts.

The letter goes on to address Rep Alverez’s concerns and then finishes up with:

The P320 cannot, under any circumstance, discharge without a trigger pull. Lawsuits with claims that the P320 is capable of firing without a trigger pull have been dismissed in twelve (12) separate federal district courts, including a decision by a unanimous eight (8) person jury. In addition, five (5) other lawsuits against SIG SAUER regarding the P320 with different liability theories have also been dismissed. Plaintiffs’ own experts have abandoned their theories that the P320 can discharge without a trigger pull after not being able to replicate it. Further, plaintiffs’ own experts have repeatedly admitted under oath the P320 cannot discharge without trigger actuation – in direct contradiction to Representative Alverez’s accusations.

and…

SIG SAUER has always and will continue to put the safety and security of the law enforcement community, the U.S. Military and our consumers first. We stand by Representative Alverez’s desire to increase the safety of public officers; however, a P320 ban does not accomplish that goal. Part of fielding safe firearms – regardless of type or manufacturer – requires extensive education and training at every level and are open to working with Representative Alverez on fact-based solutions.

ASA Responds to the Senate Parliamentarian Blocking Removal of Suppressors and SBRs from the NFA Tax Scheme in the Big Beautiful Bill

Saturday, June 28th, 2025

WASHINGTON D.C. – The American Suppressor Association (ASA) issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Senate Parliamentarian’s ruling that the inclusion of the Hearing Protection Act (HPA) and SHORT Act, which would remove suppressors and short-barreled firearms from the unconstitutional National Firearms Act tax scheme, is not compliant with the Byrd Rule and cannot be included in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

“Let’s not mince words – the Senate Parliamentarian got this wrong,” said Knox Williams President and Executive Director of the American Suppressor Association. “Removing suppressors and short-barreled firearms from the NFA tax scheme directly impacts revenues and is unquestionably compliant with the rules of reconciliation. This seemingly politically motivated decision was undoubtedly influenced by fearmongering and disinformation by radical liberals and anti-gun activists. In stripping these provisions from the One Big Beautiful Bill, the parliamentarian has unilaterally overruled the majority of lawmakers in both chambers of Congress who would have voted to remove these critical hearing protection devices from this unconstitutional tax regime.

“The American Suppressor Association, alongside our Congressional allies and coalition partners, are exploring every available option and will provide updates as they happen.”

FN Issues Optics Mounting Service Bulletin for FN Reflex MRD Pistols

Tuesday, May 20th, 2025

(McLean, VA — May 20, 2025) FN America, LLC recently discovered a condition on the FN ReflexÒ MRD pistol that, in very limited circumstances when using the incorrect set of screws to mount specific optics, the pistol could experience binding, cycling issues, or interference with the firing pin safety block. The condition was first identified on a Reflex MRD with a Viridian RFX11 optic installed using the incorrect FN-provided screws labeled “604” which were too long. In this case, the screws labeled “603” should have been used.

When mounting any optic to the Reflex MRD, it is imperative to use the correct FN-supplied screw and only the correct FN-supplied screw. Do not use the screws provided by the optics manufacturer because those screws were not designed to interface specifically with the Reflex MRD and could cause damage to the slide.

The chart in the Reflex Owner’s Manual explains which size screw to use. It has been updated to include the Viridian RFX11 Optic. When installing the Viridian RFX11 optic, make sure to use only the FN-provided “603” screws to ensure proper function of the pistol (Top of Figure 1). Before installing all other optics, refer to the chart in the owner’s manual for the correct-sized screws. If your optic is not listed, please contact the FN Customer Service at 1-800-635-1321, or by email at customerservice@fnamerica.com.

Figure 1

Screw 603 on top. 604 on bottom.

To ensure that the correct FN-supplied screws are being used: while holding the optic separately from the pistol, place the screws through the screw holes in the optic and measure or count the threads protruding from the bottom; there should be no more than .045 inches, or 3 threads visible (Figure 2). The screws should also be installed to the correct torque (6 – 8 in/lbs), regardless of what may be recommended by the manufacturer of the optic. Take care not to overtighten beyond the correct torque settings as this may deform or compress the optic housing.

Figure 2

No more than 3 threads or .045 inches below the surface of the miniature red dot (MRD).

To view and read the FN Reflex Owner’s Manual or Optics Mounting Guide, please visit fnamerica.com/customer-support/owners-manuals.

For questions about this service bulletin or assistance in returning an FN Reflex pistol for a repair or evaluation, contact FN Customer Service at 1-800-635-1321, or by email at customerservice@fnamerica.com. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday.
