  • Too much filler, too little content

    I really want to like this show, but unfortunately it suffers from the same problem as most hobby podcasts. There’s too much ”bro time” and too little content. In the last episode I listened to there was 15 minutes of stuff before they ever mentioned handguns.

    Drink segment? Really? I wanted to hear about handguns.

    What’s up with this???? Can we’re please get some episodes that have been recorded in ... more

  • Great show

    Been listening for years and love the drink segment. I do however wish that dude David would shut up for like 5 seconds during an episode. It really kills the vibe of the episode and he cuts off everyone including guests

Handgun Radio 471 – Movie Gun Mistakes That Ruin The Plot!
Q: What are some movie mistakes involving guns that ruin the plot?

Q: What do you think of the Kel-Tec PR57?
It's a really really cool gun, with a unique design and capabilities, although the stripper clip loading can be a downside for some.
