OSS is Making Pistol Cans: The RAD-9 and the RAD-45 #GunFest2021

The Huxwrx Flow 556 silencer, adopted by the FBI, is a lightweight, 3D-printed suppressor offering excellent performance. Tested over several months on a Sig Virtus, it's highlighted as a significant advancement in suppressor manufacturing, with 3D printing seen as the future of the industry.

The video highlights the evolution of flow-through suppressor technology, starting with early OSS designs and showcasing the new SilencerCo Velos LBP. This LBP suppressor utilizes a 3D-printed hybrid baffle and flow-through design to significantly reduce gas blowback, improving the shooting experience on platforms like the AR-15.

Flow-through suppressors significantly reduce back pressure and toxic gas exposure on semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15, improving shooting experience and potentially health. While offering comparable sound reduction at the ear and better signature reduction, they can be louder at the muzzle and require more frequent maintenance. The HUXWRX Flow 556k is highlighted as a high-performance example, though its cost exceeds $1,000.

This video details the Audley Safety Holster, a unique design from F.H. Audley, patented in 1914. It features a spring-loaded latch engaging the trigger guard for secure retention, requiring a specific finger placement to draw. The holster was favored by police and intelligence agencies, with this example belonging to OSS agent Roger Hall. It was produced for various firearms, including the Colt 1903, 1911, Lugers, and Savages.

This TFBTV episode identifies the top 5 most reliable firearms across different categories: Glock (handgun), Uzi (SMG), Mauser 98 (bolt-action), Remington 870 (shotgun), and Galil (self-loading rifle). The selections prioritize mechanical simplicity, proven track records, and resilience in harsh conditions, often outperforming more complex designs. The video highlights specific features contributing to their reliability, such as the Uzi's single moving part and the Galil's robust construction.

This review highlights five hilariously impractical firearms for concealed carry. It details the slow, complex loading of black powder firearms, the impractical size of the Mauser C96 and full-size .22 pistols for concealment, and the dangerous accidental discharge flaw in the Type 94 Nambu. The video emphasizes that while historically significant, these guns are unsuitable for modern self-defense.

The Ruger Mini-14 offers distinct advantages over the AR-15, including a lower profile, better stock trigger on modern variants, superior maneuverability with folding stocks, a longer sight radius, and a cleaner piston operating system. Modern Mini-14s also boast improved accuracy (around 2 MOA), cold hammer-forged barrels for durability, and optional all-stainless construction for corrosion resistance. While the AR-15 remains more modular and generally cheaper, the Mini-14 excels in specific areas.

This TFBTV episode reviews five excellent surplus rifles available for under $500, focusing on historical significance and affordability. Featured firearms include the Lee Enfield, Yugoslavian Mauser 98, Swiss K31, MAS 49/56, and a debate between the SKS and Mosin Nagant for the final spot. The discussion highlights unique actions, historical context, and the availability of surplus ammunition.
