Slam Fire Radio Episode 671 is packed with new gun news, shooting sports discussion, competition updates, and plenty of Canadian firearms talk.

Tony talks about his recent three-gun match, including some lessons learned from close-range shooting and his experience with modern sporting-style firearms. We also get into magazines, hunting season, Appleseed, TACOM, new handgun designs, the latest SIG pistol, the Schmeisser PSR-9, and an interesting new 12-gauge accessory.

The conversation also covers the challenges facing Canadian shooting sports, declining match attendance, IPSC and mini-rifle, RPAL training, the handgun freeze, borrowing firearms for competition, ammunition costs, a Thompson 1928 parts kit, shotgun slugs, and questions from viewers and listeners.

Toward the end of the show, we discuss lead exposure on shooting ranges and some practical ways shooters can reduce their exposure, followed by YouTube comments, hunting news and some deals.

The crew is back for Episode 669 of Slam Fire Radio, covering everything from rainy IPSC matches and squib loads to new guns, optics, questionable firearms purchases, Canadian firearms laws, and, eventually, a very problematic SPAS-12-style shotgun.

The big story this week is the SPAS-12 we have at home in Canada. The guys take a close look at the shotgun, its folding mechanism, magazine spring and retainer, semi-auto operation, reliability problems, range testing and the surprisingly questionable build quality. Is it a legitimate SPAS-12 reproduction, a copy of a copy, or just another Turkish shotgun with some serious problems?

There is plenty more along the way, including sporting rifle matches, new shotgun purchases, optics and rangefinders, a suspicious van full of firearms, cheap Turkish shotguns, lever-action rifles, and a discussion about importing the Turkish SPAS-12.

Slam Fire Radio Episode 668 is here, and this week we get into a mix of new guns, shooting competitions, hunting, Canadian firearms news, and a surprisingly deep discussion about the basics of firearm storage and transportation.

Kyle gets some range time with the FRT AK, we troubleshoot the Genesis shotgun build, Tony talks about his latest shotgun match, and we discuss hunting with shotguns, slugs, red dots and optics. We also take a look at new firearms and ammunition, including the 7mm Backcountry, new tactical shotguns and some interesting upcoming products.

The biggest discussion of the episode is aimed at newer Canadian firearm owners: what do you actually need to do when transporting, storing and displaying firearms? We break down non-restricted versus restricted firearms, trigger locks, locked cases, ammunition storage, hunting in remote areas, and some of the common misconceptions about Canadian firearms laws.

We also get into listener questions covering suppressors in the United States, wildlife-defense shotguns, the Wildcat, .22 rifles and plenty more.
