The PGM Podcast

In this episode we (read: I) mess up the intro, some legalities of self defense, NFA Form 1 requirements, a pump-action charging handle for ARs that is part of the handguard, and we try to sus out a PGM-spec rifle.   Enjoy, if possible.

In this episode we discuss: Iran war update (out of date at publishing), Helen Keller, the Pistolo 77 (again), the new Army M8 (the bad one) and the old XM8 (the not as bad one), Tiger woods, "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast", Fairytales, and a lot more.

In this episode we discuss: our guest!  We are joined by KY Shawn from the Scattered Shots blog.  We also discuss some hunting stories, The VA assault weapon bill (kinda), we discuss a gun industry icon's personality, a new gun that Red is interested in, and a whole lot more.

In this episode, we discuss our first guns, shotgun calibers a little, a -very- interesting legal case coming out of California, and some other stuff too.  Enjoy. -S_S PS: If it sounds like you've heard this episode already, with about 34-ish minutes cut off the front, that's because you got an unedited version meant for Patreons only.  Consider it a... free preview of what an extra dollar a month can get you with every episode.

We discuss digital night vision, a new LTT Beretta, an FRT for the M249S semi-SAW, and more.

We discuss the number of private firearms in the US, a concerning firearms case out of FL, multiple guns from SHOT this year, and much more.

We talked about: SHOT Show.  Pretty much the whole episode.  We mainly talked about how the stuff from SHOT '25 is mostly non-existent, but we did talk about SHOT '26 quite a bit as well.

We talked about: 110,000 ATF Form 1s and 4s, who should & shouldn't get VA benefits, what guns cops carry these days, some good stories, and more.

ATF interstate e-form, poaching, CZ P10C the new service pistol for the Bundeswehr, The Ruger rimfire patent, Chiappa Rhino in .44 mag (!), James Reeves top 10 guns of 2025, and more.

We discuss Glock Gen 6, optics mounts specifically, the new ATF Director (possibly), lightweight hunting guns, and not much more. We discussed the Glock gen 6 for a long time.

In this episode, we discuss some NFA legal stuff on the horizon, Walther not making the PPK anymore, why M7A1 and the 6.8x51 is dumb, Mantis TitanX, and a whole lot more.

This episode we discuss: A lot of Marine Corps stuff. A *lot* of Marine Corps stuff. We also discuss the DD gold plated rifle, the Scopeswitch 2.0, some LPVO philosophy, some immigration reform, the usual gun topics. Enjoy! -S_S

In this episode, we discuss: a legal battle update, the state of the death penalty in this country, Glock genV (obviously), "Carolina Squat", bullpups, 45 GAP, and much more.

This episode we discuss: Max Michelle & Lena dropping SIG, DOJ demands gun rights group names (aka: registry of gun owners), pontificate about the circuit court system in this country, .380 carry guns, a potential new drinking game that will put you in the ICU, and even more.

Non-standard episode format tonight.  We attempt to have an episode on one topic, but (as you can imagine) it goes off the rails quickly and repeatedly.  We discuss an island survival scenario, discuss who would make a good companion in said scenario, and deeply discuss the merits of the Topps knives SurvTac. Current objective: Survive. -S_S

We discuss 5.45 anti-drone rounds, full-auto shotguns, Nevada waiting period law, Florida open carry law, C S Lewis & Tolkien, Churchill, a new & concerning conspiracy theory (confirmed), Finch Arms, DOD's preferred gun makers, and we talk about the murder of Charlie Kirk.

We discuss: A new range target, MPVOs for police sniper work, engaging targets from a seated position in a car, and how the gun culture in the US has improved in the last 10 years.

We discuss: P320 and the M7 and the M250, and basically that stuff for like 2 hours.  If you love SIG, skip this one.  If you like dunking on SIG, listen up.  

We discuss the Gas Evacuator from S&W, spoil the movie Sinners (2025), ruin every other movie too, rifles vs pistols in bad calibers, gun safety for noobs, and more!

Great episode for you guys this time! We discuss the Springfield Kuna, the FCC and Radio operators, the BBB implications, and do bad James Bond impressions towards the end. I know it's a big ask, but please enjoy.  -S_S

BBB update (Outdated), optics in pistol competition, playing with a very old shotgun, a lot about how to update police training, Nighthawk Double Agent, FN pistols, and we remain friends.

Great episode for you guys this time.  Girsan pistol, Timberwolf rifles, and we nerd out on trigger types for a LOOOOOONG time, and a suprising new ammo manufacturer! Enjoy, you degenerates.  -S_S

Topics: NFA Stuff, fanny (Panny) Packs, range days, Pistollo 77, stocks & gas systems.

Great episode for you guys this time.  We discuss types of pistols and their purposes, hydrostatic shock in excruciating detail, some woodland creature shenanigans, and we cut each other down the entire time!  It's wonderful! Enjoy.  -S_S

topics: .380 PCC, DD slander (aka: objective appraisals), PGM meet-up short recap, Tommy-Bilt threads and how to measure thread pitch, dots on things, and MORE!!

Join Ruger and Red (R&R, lol) as they discuss red dots, pistols, DIY stuff, NODs, and other things. Enjoy! -S_S

We discuss, as always, a rambling range of topics.  From HK imports, to optics, to choice of hydration, Franklin Armory, and we take listener questions!

We discuss: Zeroing pistol irons, some weirdo with a gun in public, Russian suppressed guns, a funny story about a gun shop customer, and that's only the first 30 minutes! Enjoy, you degenerates.

We discuss scopes, PCCs, bad advice, other stuff, and we yell at each other for a while.  I hope you have as much fun listening as we did recording.  Enjoy!

First episode back after our post-SHOT break!  This episode we talk about red dots, 2011s, 9mm double mags from Mimic Arms, and more.  Enjoy!

Red and Sunshine discuss the stuff that came out at SHOT.

The gang talks about the stuff that's already been released as of the week before SHOT and what else we think we're going to see.

First episode of the new year! This week we discussed Suppressed ARs, Thompsons, Laugo Aliens, Ranch Rifles, Shawn Ryan, and how to keep traffic crimes to a minimum. Enjoy!

I'm back in this episode! I got my technical issues resolved, aka it stopped fucking itself up, and am firmly back in control. Well, in control. Okay, I'm still hanging on for dear life, but I'm back! We discuss weapons definitions, speculate on future ammunitions, small arms types, and generally BS for a couple hours (as per usual). Enjoy!

On this episode of the PGM Podcast, I'm not there! I have critical tech issues on my end, so the gang got to run around without me to guide them from the stormy depths of extemporaneous speaking and unto the glorious shores of victory! Honestly, they did a fine job without me. Now I wonder if they even need me at all. I swear, if I even get a whiff of mutiny, I will turn this boat around!

We got the whole band together for this one! We discuss HK's domestic failings, the DD-H9's mitigated failings, .21 Sharp's commercial failings, maritime law, and a bunch of other meanderings, and the most unexpected variable for accuracy in AR's I've ever considered.   Of course the Patreons get an extra 30 minutes of pre-show banter.  Patreon.com/progunmillennial to sign up for as little as $1/month

In this episode, Ruger, Red, and I discuss the G11, video games, PSA's anti-Teutonic tendencies, metallurgy, and a few lines of Lazorpig.   Enjoy!

No guest this time, just us BSing about guns, drones (Patreon-exclusive!) and potential service weapons for nation-states circa mid-2024. Actually pretty decent and a return to form for the panel. And by that, I mean we haven't learned a damn thing. Oh! There's also some stuff about the state of law enforcement training as well. Enjoy!

We have another guest! This episode's guest is Chance from SX Leather Co, from IG and Etsy. Chance gives us some details about his business, his background, and just generally hangs out and shoots the shit with us. BTW, he does super good work, and you should see his wares here [https://www.instagram.com/sxleatherco/] and here [https://www.etsy.com/shop/sxleatherco/]

We continue our conversation with Erik the Author, discuss the 2011 market for entirely too long, and generally beclown ourselves. You know, standard PGMpod fare.  Enjoy! 

We have a podcast first: a real guest! Author Erik Testerman joins us for a discussion on his book, a little of his history, and some sneak peeks at the future! This is part 1 of a two-part release.

This episode starts off pretty tame, but goes completely off the rails about an hour in.  Which is actually pretty good, considering how we normally do things.  Topics include home defense, current firearm tech and laws, and a lot of jack-assery.

Round three of our main hosts.  We discuss a wide range of topics, from home gunsmithing, to manufacturing economics, to small unit tactics.  As always, timestamps are impossible and the ride is a rollercoaster.  Enjoy.

In this episode the cast rambles on about the P320, carry guns, conspiracy theories, and just how important is "sub-MOA" anyway? The cast is Sunshine_Shooter (me), Red Menace, and Blumpkin.

The first and worst (so far) episode from the worst gun blog on the internet.  In this episode we discuss guns, jet engines, battleships, and the ideal toppings for a burger, all things we are highly underqualified to discuss.
