Firearms and Self-Defense: Expert Insights from Trigger Talk Tuesday - July 1st, 2025

This episode of Trigger Talk Tuesday, presented by Green Monstah Firearms, brought listeners news, updates, and laughs with guests from both Green Monstah and Shadow Hawk Defense.

The show kicked off with an update from Shadow Hawk: Steel Challenge was rescheduled to make room for the Two-Gun Bald Eagle match. Rainy weather was discussed, but as Lynn shared, competitions run rain or shine—lightning being the only exception. Shadow Hawk’s training schedule was highlighted, with upcoming July classes including Concealed Carry (July 5), Guns 101 (July 6), and Carbine Level 1 (July 13). On the competitive shooting front, Two-Gun and USPSA events are coming soon, offering spectators a look at top-tier shooters.

Green Monstah discussed their firearm cleaning services, including a convenient quarterly cleaning program. The team teased 4th of July sales, hinting at ammo discounts and first-come, first-serve deals too good to publish online. They also unveiled custom Green Monstah AR lowers—available both finished and raw for full personalization. Plans are underway to offer in-house Cerakote and engraving services this fall, making custom builds and heirloom-quality firearms more accessible.

The crew shared stories about family firearms becoming cherished heirlooms through engraving and customization, reinforcing how guns can hold deep personal and generational meaning.

The team also recapped a recent industry event where they networked, attended product showcases, and secured new inventory, including firearms, ammo, Nook brand pistol/rifle cases, and advanced universal pistol chassis. All items are rolling into the shop soon.

Lastly, they previewed Green Monstah’s Customer Appreciation Day on Friday, July 26, featuring:
