The episode begins with some lighthearted banter, acknowledging the absence of co-host Richie, who joins remotely from “Las Vegas”. The group then shifts to discussing new arrivals at Green Monstah Firearms, including custom firearms from Shark Coast Tactical, known for their high-quality customization and Cerakote finishes. These new arrivals include ARs and handguns with unique engravings and designs. Additionally, the conversation touches on newly released retro shirts with vibrant designs, including a flamingo pattern, a tiger print, and a Southeast Asia-inspired motif. The hosts note their comfort and suitability for concealed carry.

The discussion then moves to CNH Precision, a company specializing in optic mounts. CNH Precision’s innovative mounting solutions provide enhanced durability and reliability, ensuring red dots remain securely attached to firearms. The hosts emphasize the importance of these mounts for maintaining accuracy and preventing issues caused by loose screws.

Next, the group highlights the arrival of new Glocks featuring Aimpoint Acro optics. These pistols use a dovetail mounting system, offering improved stability over traditional mounting methods. Given their popularity, these firearms are expected to sell quickly. CNH Precision’s red dot optics are also on the way, providing an alternative to higher-priced competitors while maintaining high performance.

Excitement builds as the conversation shifts to upcoming competitions, including the return of Steel Challenge at the end of March. The hosts encourage both experienced competitors and spectators to attend, emphasizing the fun and excitement of these events. Other competitive shooting disciplines, such as USPSA and two-gun matches, will also resume, and stage designs are already in development for the season.

Toward the end of the segment, the conversation takes a reflective turn with a discussion about the Norwegian resistance film #24, available on Netflix. The hosts explore its themes of resilience and the contrast between modern society’s perception of danger and the harsh realities of war. This leads to a broader discussion about how prolonged peace can lead to complacency, citing historical cycles where hard times create strong individuals, and easy times lead to societal softness. A thought-provoking comment from a general about the difference between serving in conflicts versus experiencing full-scale war adds depth to the conversation.
