A few mates and I decided to start a little shooting podcast. Being saffers it has a focus on South African availability, but I thought some of you may be interested in a different perspective.

At the very least you get to hear some movie bad guy accents talk guns :)

https://gunshow.co.za/

you can also find it on any of the normal podcast apps as "Welcome to the Gun Show"

Otherwise you can always just download and delete without listening so our numbers look good :D

BigT, will you shout “Diplomatic Immunity!” in one of your podcasts? ;)

Seriously, though, I just I just listened to part of your podcast with the female who is a retail gun store owner. Interesting to see the customer dynamics are the same all over.

If you ever do a podcast explaining the general gun ownership laws, costs, availability, concealed carry and self-defense laws in South Africa, I would be very interested.

Cool!
I will share with my friends over there as well. Last trip I took over some competition related goodies as my host was wanting to start doing some. I bet he will enjoy!

Ask and you shall receive... Just for the guys on p-forum. The full episode will be out on Monday, we've seen a DRAMATIC increase in US listenership which can only be attributed to this forum. Appreciate it!

Here is BigT doing the line in an extra special way.

Half my family is Russian, the other half is Serbian - I'm pretty used to hearing movie bad guy accents talking guns. Still - I'll give it a listen! ;)

I'd prefer to not have this look like an advert, but I also wanted to give you guys the full show notes for this one. I'll refrain in future.
I need to edit my signature, I am one of the hosts along with BigT and Gazz (not on here). I'm also the producer/editor. - In the interest of full disclosure.

Those are, to my mind, much better accents :)

It’s been a while since I’ve visited, truly appreciate all the support we’ve gained from the US, no doubt as a result of p-forum.

That said there’s some new episodes up, please have a listen if anything tickles your fancy.

There’s a couple of new episodes you guys might be interest in, specifically First Time Gun Ownership and Home Defense.

Both cover bits of South African firearm law.

Hope you find them interesting.

Thanks again for all the support!

We have an episode planned to discuss the differences between US and South African gun laws. That’s for the request, it came from this forum, you know who you are :)

We’ve been busy recording episodes, there’s some new stuff that may tickle your fancy.

This one was a favorite to make

We chatted to 2002 IPSC Modified World Champ Austen Stockbridge. A great shooter and a great dude.

The audio isnt perfect sadly but its well worth a listen.

Some of you may enjoy this. This was a chat we had with Jay Beal who competed in his first ever USPSA nationals last month and came 5th.

Jay is a really nice guy who's willing to share a lot, and who does things a little differently to most.

If you haven't checked it out yet we interviewed him a little while before the Nationals to discuss his preparation which I would recommend checking out as well.

This will also be available on your favourite podcast app

Thanks to those of you who listen.

We truly appreciate it.

Thanks,

The show hit 50 episodes this morning, excluding the bonus content.

The latest one might be of particular interest to the p-forum guys.
