The PGM Podcast 040 – SHOT ’26 Review

Porting is everywhere right now—but not all porting is created equal. In Episode 108 of the MacBroz Show, Josh and Darius break down what you should actually look for when choosing an aftermarket porting company and how aftermarket work compares to factory-ported pistols. We get into quality, efficiency, port design, turnaround times, reliability, ammo sensitivity, and one of the biggest things we want to see from manufacturers and custom shops: show your work. If a company claims its porting reduces muzzle rise or improves performance, how was it tested? What ammo was used? How many rounds were fired? Does the pistol still run reliably with the factory recoil system? And are you actually getting better performance—or just something that looks cool? We also compare factory ports vs. aftermarket ports, including the advantages of factory validation and integration versus the customization and potentially more aggressive performance available from a quality aftermarket shop. Plus, we catch up on what’s new: • Glock 19 Gen 6 review is LIVE • Josh’s Glock 48 build • New Tier 1 holsters • Darius running the R11 on the P365 If you enjoy the show, make sure you like, follow, and subscribe on Rumble.

The group will focus on legal advocacy, restoration processes, and challenging federal and state restrictions that permanently bar many non-violent felons from firearm ownership. The Gist: Affects U.S. citizens nationwide convicted of non-violent federal or state crimes who face lifetime firearm prohibitions under current law. Impact: Advances Second Amendment restoration efforts for non-violent offenders, potentially influencing federal policy, state restoration laws, and ongoing legal challenges post-Bruen. Bottom Line: New nonprofit will provide targeted legal aid to restore gun rights for non-violent convicts, expanding access to firearms for a population often excluded from Second Amendment protections. AmmoLand Shooting Sports News (Savage) Supreme Court Orders New York City to Defend Stun Gun Ban in Caetano 2.0 The Supreme Court orders New York City to respond in Calce, a Second Amendment case challenging its ban on civilian stun guns and Tasers. The U.S. Supreme Court has granted certiorari or issued an order requiring New York City to respond to and defend its ban on stun guns and tasers in a new case styled as a follow-on to Caetano v. Massachusetts (2016). In Caetano, the Court unanimously held that stun guns are protected ‘arms’ under the Second Amendment. The article details the procedural step forcing NYC to justify its local prohibition in light of that precedent and subsequent Second Amendment jurisprudence. The Gist: New York City residents and individuals subject to the NYC stun gun / electronic dart gun prohibition; builds on the Massachusetts law struck down in Caetano v. Massachusetts. Impact: Requires the City to file a defense of its ban under the Second Amendment framework established in Caetano, Bruen, and related cases; may lead to further Supreme Court clarification on ‘arms’ that are in common use for self-defense. Bottom Line: Supreme Court is forcing New York City to defend its stun gun ban in light of the 2016 Caetano precedent that already ruled such weapons are protected by the Second Amendment. Shooting News Weekly (Savage) Judge Who Sentenced Martinez Long Couldn’t Figure Out Why He’d Carry a Gun for Protection in a Mall American Boomers Were Powerless to Resist the Ineluctable Appeal of Guns…Allegedly Impact: Highlights judicial skepticism toward lawful carry for self-defense in public venues; may influence sentencing outcomes and public perception of gun rights cases Bottom Line: Judge questioned rationale for carrying a gun for protection in a mall, underscoring divide between bench views and civilian safety needs bearingarms.com (Savage) Everytown Claims DOJ Opposition to Gun Ban Is About Helping Gun Industry Everytown claims DOJ opposes gun bans to aid the gun industry amid Second Amendment debates. Everytown for Gun Safety accused the Department of Justice of opposing a proposed ban on certain firearm components or accessories, alleging the stance primarily benefits the firearms industry rather than public safety. The article by Cam Edwards on Bearing Arms critiques this framing, highlighting the DOJ’s legal and policy arguments against the ban. The piece frames the dispute as part of ongoing debates over gun control measures targeting industry interests. The Gist: Affects federal jurisdiction via DOJ/ATF policy on proposed gun ban (specific components not detailed in article) Impact: Undermines DOJ legal opposition by portraying it as industry protection rather than constitutional or statutory grounds; politicizes regulatory process Bottom Line: Everytown’s claim reframes standard DOJ regulatory opposition as evidence of gun industry influence rather than legitimate policy disagreement. Reviews Review: bbates 5 whole squares good show great info met most the cast at gun con was awesome. better yet my buddy got them to sign one of his wifes maxi pads. yall are great keep it up, savage do your best. aron your absence is well welcomed Review: syntaxError404 We Like Shooting is the podcast equivalent of duct-taping a flashlight to a toaster and calling it “EDC.” The hosts are a lovable band of misfits who somehow manage to combine firearms expertise with the energy of a middle school lunchroom argument—if that lunchroom had access to ballistics gel and questionable life advice.Each episode is a masterclass in how to derail a conversation while still technically talking about guns. You’ll get gear reviews, shooting tips, and enough off-topic tangents to make you wonder if you accidentally tuned into a therapy session for gun nerds. It’s loud, it’s chaotic, and it’s probably the only podcast where you’ll hear the phrase “tactical cheese grater” and not even blink. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys firearms, freedom, and the sound of grown men arguing over optics like it’s a custody battle. Review: Not Fucking Bill, Would Do Jill Though ...
