Live Fire Media Show

On Episode 62 of the podcast we get back to the grind and cover a little bit of everything.We dig into Artisan Cutlery — those good-looking, affordable knives coming out of China — and share our thoughts on the value and quality.I also ran the Ruger Mini-14 with an IC13 bandoleer originally made for the AR-15 and talk about how it performed.We discuss the upcoming Bond Arms LVRB and what has us interested in it.Plus, a conversation about what it really means to be a firearm instructor.And for the movie corner: Lee Cronin’s The Mummy plus a look at some of the other versions of the classic story.If you enjoy the show, hit like, subscribe, and drop a comment with your thoughts on any of these topics.#Mini14 #RugerMini14 #ArtisanCutlery #BondArms #FirearmInstructor #TheMummy #PodcastAdditional Links/Notes:https://www.ruger-mini-14-firearms.com/https://artisancutlery.net/https://www.bondarms.com/LVRB-Coming-Soon-P8583.aspx?inf_contact_key=fbe8b60e01c71fcce32795b17c6f1c38474bcb8265eb7d459c005c83dec0347ahttps://www.ic13.us/shop.html?f=INVRTWhere to find us:Livefire-media.comRangehot.comSocial Links:IG - @livefirem - @rangehot.com_officalX - @LiveFireM - @rangehotdotcomFB - Live Fire Media - Range HotLive Fire Media on RSS.comLive Fire Media Show | Podcast on RSS.com

In this episode of the Live Fire Media Show we dive into 90s action classic Desperado, the famous bar shootout, and a fun “what if” — what happens if the guy with the rocket-launcher case pulls out a China Lake instead? Hunter even shares his visit to the real bar from the Cheech Marin shootout scene.We also cover big questions in the firearms world: Is the NFA for suppressors finally going away? Death and taxes… and maybe fewer tax stamps? Plus the disturbing Charlotte case of a man attacking women while live-streaming it — and why our systems are failing. Quick takes; The Purge movies should have been better, is a 20-gauge is actually solid for home defense with modern loads, why there still aren’t more tactical 20-gauge shotguns, mini-shells may be an answer, and the best mag-fed AR-style shotguns (Genesis 12 is great… if your wallet can handle it).Finally, the eternal debate: carry inexpensive guns that just work, or run the higher-end gear you’re truly proficient with? Hunter’s take and the bottom line — run what you’re actually comfortable and competent with.If you like firearms discussion, movie talk, current events, and practical gear advice, this one’s for you.Drop your thoughts in the comments — Desperado opinions, suppressor NFA hopes, 20-gauge home-defense setups, or your favorite mag-fed shotgun.

In this packed episode of the Live Fire Media Show we dive into horror movie gold with The Last Voyage of the Demeter—a solid Dracula story pulled straight from one iconic chapter of the novel that delivers real tension and atmosphere. We also discuss the up and coming released R-rated Director’s Cut of The X-Files: I Want to Believe (dropped August 14), why Spider-Man 4 is looking promising, the buzz around The Odyssey streaming on X, and the disappointing news that an Alien: Romulus sequel is currently off the table. On the gear side: the Pulse Rifle mag well Gen 3 is 3D-printed and looking sharper than ever with more enhancements and details. Plus—Mini-14s are back and popping hard! The big highlight is our GOA GOALS trip to Des Moines. For me it felt just like Hunter’s SHOT Show experience—seeing friends and then some. Hanging out with the AR-15 Podcast, Let’s Go Hunt, AK47 Radio, and especially the Airbnb with We Like Shooting was easily the best part of GOALS.

In this episode of the Live Fire Media Show Joe from Shooting Gallery joins us along with Cory returning. We check in to see if Hunter has watched the new Masters of the Universe movie on Amazon Prime, set expectations (it’s more cartoon than live-action), and roast Hunter for watching the wrong He-Man film. Cory loved The Odyssey while I’m still waiting for it to hit streaming — plus a quick take on the solid film Shutter Island.Gun side: the Mini-14 project is officially underway (chop or don’t chop… the sky is the limit). I’ve 3D-printed a magwell that turns the GHM9 even more into a Pulse Rifle look-alike. We also explain why the UMP’s ergos are just okay at best, why the Stribog is the better gun, and why the Tommy Gun is cool but nowhere near the gold standard of submachine guns.Like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you never miss the next Live Fire Media Show.

In this episode we discuss the late Sam Neill and some of our favorites—Event Horizon, In the Mouth of Madness, Dead Calm, and Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (yeah we know its not a Sam Neill, but you will get it)—before jumping into Falling Skies (fun show, but the gun handling and mixed-mag squads leave something to be desired) and the eternal “still good to some, trash to others” debate around The Walking Dead. We also check out Undead Chronicles, the zombie FPS with slow-moving undead that’s currently soliciting feedback on its latest visuals. More B&T GHM9 (Hunter loves it when I bring this up), B&T FRT is installed runs well! I received in some bullets, 147-grain 9mm and 158-grain .38 Special ammo. Just gearing up to load more subsonic ammo. With vacation approaching we talk defense/escape gun choices and the eternal struggle of wanting to shoot at the beach… only to settle for dry-fire practice.Where to find us:Livefire-media.comRangehot.comSocial Links:IG - @livefirem - @rangehot.com_officalX - @LiveFireM - @rangehotdotcomFB - Live Fire Media - Range HotLive Fire Media on RSS.com

Episode 57Join us on Live Fire Media Show Episode 57 for a wild mix of horror movie talk, gun gear, and random chaos! We dive into the new Evil Dead dropping, Hunter suggests Hellraiser Judgment (the 10th installment), chat the latest Dracula, Joker sequel takes, Matrix Cypher theories, and debate if Aragorn picked the wrong woman in Lord of the Rings. Plus Agent Smith is still the GOAT.On the firearms side: Casting bullets 18-19 with silver sorting would that be enough to stop a werewolf? Outlier 6" 9mm suppressor tested on handgun & B&T, ETS mags cracked (they replaced them), Bus Built Systems Poors Bag Plate for getting kids into shooting, and a big reminder — CHANGE YOUR LIGHT BATTERIES before your next night walk!We also cover YouTube AI movie bad guys versus, Instagram censoring "dork," and that hilarious werewolf hamburger stomach acid question.

In Episode 56 we sit down with MadPig Customs to talk about breathing new life into lever guns and making them modern, cool, and practical again. We also take the new 6” 9mm Outlier suppressor on its first outing, discuss modernizing the M1 Garand with the CogBurn Arsenal MicroPrism mount and UltiMAK scout mount, and why a 10-gauge break-action, the Ripley rail and an FNC nod from Heat is just awesome. We cover buying guns and gear simply because you want them (not because you “need” them), removing emotion from gear arguments, being nice to your AI, and Hunter’s potential new obsession with 3D printing.

We dive deep into reloading basics — starting with straight-wall cases then moving to rifle calibers. We compare Hodgdon Varget, RCBS presses, and why .223/5.56 is way more forgiving than a hot .220 Swift or precision setups. We roast keyboard commandos in reloading groups, test a 3D-printed ABS holster for the Sig P365XL, and break down Lee vs RCBS vs Dillon presses for 9mm, .45 ACP, .223, .308, and .300 Win Mag.Plus we review the Bus Built Systems Poor’s Bag Plate — an awesome shooting setup — and the Diefree Co Kung Fu grip.

We start with look at the exciting new roller delayed PCC from Taurus, then dive into movie talk. We cover Nobody 2 starring Bob Odenkirk, the dino-packed Jurassic World Rebirth that was crap, and our big excitement for the upcoming Masters of the Universe 2026 live-action film — especially since we’re both huge fans of the classic He-Man toys and Masters of the Universe from back in the day.

Jay dives into his upcoming Aoudad (Barbary sheep) hunt and shares stories from his first Aoudad adventure — the challenges, the terrain, and what makes these rugged hunts so addictive. We also dig into the buzz around a possible April Fools prank claiming that Rob Zombie is directing a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie, separating fact from fan-fiction and debating whether it would even be a good idea. Plus, we break down the real differences in scope glass quality and what hunters and shooters should actually look for when investing in optics. Finally, we discuss the latest troubling developments in Virginia as the state continues to erode Second Amendment rights — and what it means for gun owners moving forward.

Luke C rolls in hot to relive the chaos of Moons Out—that badass night vision rifle match where white light is banned and everything’s pitch black. We ran matching HP-15 rifles and geek out on the full kit: optics, IR lasers, NODs, DNT Thermal multispectral madness, IC13 INVRT bandoleers, and every piece of gear that made (or broke) our runs. Hits, misses, what we’d swap next time, and the parts that straight-up ruled. Hunter crashes the party late and as we discuss Gunsite Academy and Thunder Ranch—pistol wizardry, rifle drills, and the kind of training that turns you into a problem-solver when things get real. Then we go full tangent: handloading and bullet casting secrets (why reloaders win on precision and wallet), plus roasting Hollywood’s endless firearm fails—wrong recoil, magic bullets, impossible mag dumps. Laughs guaranteed (well maybe). Gear nerds, night vision junkies, and movie myth-busters—this one’s for you.

In this no-holds-barred episode, we dive deep into the wild world of self-defense, gear, mindset, and the gun community's self-inflicted wounds. We kick things off asking the big question: Should you give OLight a shot? (Pun intended.) Flashlights matter when things go bump in the night—let's break down if OLight's worth your hard-earned cash or if it's just another shiny distraction. Next up: Concealed carry insurance—specifically US LawShield. Is it actually useful, or just another monthly bill? We weigh the pros (24/7 attorney hotline, criminal/civil defense coverage) against the realities of real-world self-defense scenarios, and how it stacks up in the broader CCW insurance landscape. Then we get real: The gun community is its own worst enemy. Infighting, gatekeeping, drama—why do we keep shooting ourselves in the foot? Time for some tough love. Of course, no episode is complete without a classic mindset drop: Mike Tyson's iconic line, "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face" (or mouth, depending on the version). We unpack how this brutal truth applies to training, prepping, and life when the SHTF.We switch gears to futuristic defense tech: Laser beam defense systems (think high-energy lasers taking out drones and rockets—sci-fi becoming reality).And for the aviation nerds: the legendary SR-71 Blackbird LA speed story—that epic ground speed check over Southern California where the pilot casually asks for a readout and gets "one thousand eight hundred and forty-two knots." Pure on-stage vibe gold.Finally, some gear and talk: Getting ready for Moons Out, shoutouts to Koh-i-Noor mechanical pencils (precision drafting beasts), Tubi lead (for your art or notes?), Wacom tablets, and endless paper for when analog beats digital. If you're into firearms, mindset, gear reviews, and unfiltered takes, hit play and join the conversation. Drop your thoughts in the comments: OLight yes or no? CCW insurance worth it? What's your go-to prep

We kick off with the Great American Outdoor Show highlights: the Henry Mare's Leg in the X-Model, Taylor's & Co.'s badass short-throw 9mm lever action (including that Space Cowboy version collab), and Whiskey River Antiques loaded with old-school surplus munitions. Then we dive deeper into The Running Man follow-up—turns out Christopher Reeve was originally cast as Ben Richards before major script changes that turned a darker, more book-faithful story into the over-the-top '80s action classic we know. Would it have stuck closer to Stephen King's novel with Superman in the lead? We speculate! We vent about the dumbest internet comments out there (why do people even?), geek out over classics like Big Trouble in Little China, Top Secret!, Tom Selleck's detective flicks, and why owning physical media for movies and music still rules in 2026. Grab a seat—this one's packed with guns, movies, rants, and laughs.

Buckle up—this might be our longest episode yet, and for good reason. We're joined by my buddy Rob from UpLeviIt, with Nick back in the mix, for a massive deep dive into The Running Man: the classic 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic vs. the brand-new 2025 Edgar Wright remake starring Glen Powell.We break down what makes each version tick, why the original still slaps with its over-the-top '80s energy and media satire, and how the fresh take updates the dystopian game-show concept. From there, we veer into some of our all-time favorite films across genres—because why not turn one movie chat into a full-on favorites rundown?Plus, we geek out on reloading gear with a shoutout to RCBS (precision reloading legends), and talk the wild IWI Tavor TS12 bullpup shotgun—high-capacity, innovative, and seriously fun to discuss.It's a rambling, laughs-filled hangout that probably runs longer than it should... but hey, that's the beauty of it. Grab a drink, settle in, and join the chaos.Additional Links/Notes:UpLevleIt: https://uplevelit.com/RCBS: https://rcbs.com/IWI: https://iwi.us/firearms/tavor-ts12/Where to find us:Livefire-media.comRangehot.comSocial Links:IG - @livefirem - @rangehot.com_officalX - @LiveFireM - @rangehotdotcomFB - Live Fire Media - Range HotLive Fire Media on RSS.comLive Fire Media Show | Podcast on RSS.com
