Mark talks about the challenges of building the BFG-50A, why the Super Shorty became both a blessing and a curse, and what it’s really like running a niche firearms company for over 30 years.

There are stories about:

• Engineering the BFG-50A gas system
• Why the Super Shorty took off
• Moving Serbu Firearms to a new shop
• Shooting machine guns from a Cessna
• The AK-50 and .50 cal rifle design

This week the crew is joined by Ken from P3 Shooting Specialties to talk about one of the most interesting developments in Canadian handgun ownership since the freeze began: commercial handgun lending programs in Alberta.

Ken explains how P3 Shooting Specialties is helping RPAL holders legally access handguns for IPSC competition, training, and skill development through a commercial lending model approved through the CFO process. The conversation covers ATT requirements, IPSC Black Badge training, estate firearms solutions, commercial storage, and why Alberta shooters may have more options than many people realize.

Ken’s section of the show starts at 1:05:00

The hosts also discuss:

• RCMP adopting the Glock 45 as a new duty pistol, with red dots!
• Gun room builds and reloading projects
• Chronograph testing and handload experiments
• Upcoming IPSC, Mapleseed, and 3-Gun matches
• Belt-fed machine gun testing for film work
• Camping, Tannerite, and May Long plans

If you’ve been wondering whether there are still legal pathways into handgun competition shooting in Canada, this episode is packed with useful information.

In this episode of Slam Fire Radio, the crew sits down with Shawn “The Tenant” Branch, the Canadian firearms owner whose leaked conversation with Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree sent shockwaves through the firearms community. Shawn shares how a routine discussion with his landlord turned into one of the most talked about political audio recordings in recent Canadian gun politics.

The conversation dives into the federal firearms confiscation program, insider comments about its effectiveness, concerns over property rights, and why Shawn ultimately decided to step out from behind anonymity and publicly identify himself as “The Tenant.” The hosts discuss the political fallout from the leaked recording, reactions from firearms owners across Canada, police agencies refusing to participate in confiscation efforts, and the growing legal battle surrounding the federal OIC and buyback program.

The crew also covers recent rallies, CCFR advocacy efforts, the Supreme Court challenge, and what firearms owners can still do if they have already submitted declarations. Alongside the serious discussion, the episode keeps the usual Slam Fire Radio mix of humor, range talk, reloading updates, match reports, shotgun hunting stories, and gear chatter.

Topics include:

• The leaked Gary Anandasangaree audio recording
• Federal firearms confiscation and compensation concerns
• Property rights and Supreme Court challenges
• CCFR rallies and grassroots activism
• USPSA and ORA match updates
• Reloading 6.5 Creedmoor and .45-70
• Taipan X impressions
• Women’s range day events
• Pheasant and upland bird hunting stories
