MACBROZ

This week, the MacBroz are running on fumes—but that might actually make the episode better. We put our handgun opinions to the test with a blind-ranking pistols game, forcing ourselves to place each pistol before knowing what was coming next. As expected, there were questionable decisions, instant regret, and plenty of arguments over where each gun belonged. We also catch up on a few of Darius’ projects that are finally headed home, including his M&P with Dime Bag porting from Monsoon Tactical and his Staccato C, which has been with the Doctor at Mad Science Tactical for some much-needed triage and maintenance. Plus, we explain how to enter the MacBroz giveaway. You have two chances to win: Enter for one prize through www.themacbroz.com, or join us LIVE for Episode 104 on August 7, 2026, for another chance to win. You must be watching the live show to claim the live giveaway prize. We’re two tired dads recording at the end of a long workweek, so the laughs get a little loopy—but that’s part of the fun. Sit back, enjoy the chaos, and let us know how badly we messed up the pistol rankings.

This week we’re celebrating 100 episodes of the MacBroz Podcast with one of our favorite conversations yet. Shawn Herrin joins us to talk about far more than firearms.

We also discuss: * Why every responsible gun owner should pursue medical training * Smarter ways to track and organize your firearm inventory * Creating tools and resources that help others * Building a brand with purpose instead of chasing views * Lessons learned from years in the firearms industry * Our Episode 100 giveaway announcement Whether you’re a new gun owner, competitive shooter, content creator, or simply passionate about the 2A community, this episode is packed with practical advice and honest conversation.

In Episode 99 of the MacBroz Show, Josh and Darius dive into the world of competition shooting and have an honest conversation about where they are right now as competitors, content creators, and gear nerds trying to keep the momentum going. We talk through the highs and lows of competing, whether we are starting to feel burnout, and what it has been like switching between USCCL, USPSA, and everything in between. From stage planning and performance expectations to gear changes, pistol setups, mistakes, lessons learned, and trying to figure out what actually matters, this episode is a real look at the journey. We also get into what we are competing for, what motivates us to keep showing up, and whether anything needs to change moving forward. Are we chasing placement? Skill growth? Content? Community? Or just trying to stay consistent while still enjoying the process? This one is for anyone who competes, wants to compete, has felt stuck, or has ever wondered if changing gear, divisions, matches, or mindset is the answer. As always, we are just two best friends talking life, firearms, competition, and the journey of getting better.

Courtney joined Josh for a special MacBroz Podcast recording at GunCon 2026, and this episode is all about hearing the event from her perspective. This was her first time attending GunCon, her first time being around the firearms industry at this level, and her first time seeing the creator, brand, and community side of what we do. We talk through the event, Range Day, the people, the booths, the vibe, what stood out to her, and what surprised her the most. For the MacBroz, GunCon is always a chance to connect with brands, creators, and the community. But this episode is a little different because Courtney got to experience it firsthand and give an honest outsider-looking-in perspective. Presented by XS Sights.
