Is competitive shooting really worth getting into? Does expensive gear make you a better shooter? And can competition actually improve your real-world shooting skills? This week on the MacBroz Show, Josh is solo as and Darius is attending Monsoon Demo Day! This week we are joined by Dave Stroh, Jamarkus Anderson, Sean Salemink, and Rob Lucente for a competitive shooting roundtable! We're going beyond the timer to talk about what gets people into competitive shooting, what keeps them coming back, and the lessons they've learned along the way. From gear and training to match-day experiences, the competition community, and the debate over practical shooting skills, we're covering it all. Whether you've been competing for years or haven't shot your first match yet, there's something here for you. **No gatekeeping. No experts-only panel. Just shooters talking shop.** Join the conversation, drop your thoughts in the comments, and let us know: **Has competitive shooting made you a better person?** Follow the MacBroz: 🌐 www.themacbroz.com Catch the MacBroz Show live on Rumble every Friday at 9 PM ET!

16 pistol manufacturers. One bracket. One champion. This week on the MacBroz Show, Josh (JAYWETH) and Darius (DEEEZGAINS) go head-to-head in **BRAND BATTLE**, a single-elimination tournament to answer one simple question: **If you could only own pistols from ONE manufacturer for the rest of your life, who would you choose?** We're putting some of the biggest names in the firearms industry against each other, including Glock, SIG Sauer, Staccato, Beretta, CZ, Walther, Canik, Kimber, BUL Armory, Atlas Gunworks, and more! From affordable everyday carry options to high-end 2011s, we're debating quality, reliability, innovation, value, and personal preference as we work our way through the bracket. Some brands are going home early, some matchups might surprise you, and only ONE manufacturer can take the crown! **Who would win YOUR bracket?** Drop your champion in the comments and let us know which brand we got wrong! --- **THE MACBROZ SHOW** Hosted by Josh (JAYWETH) & Darius (DEEEZGAINS) New episodes every Friday at 9 PM ET, LIVE on Rumble! 🌐 Website: https://www.themacbroz.com

Happy Glocktober! 🎃🔫 Episode 109 is all about **Audience Q&A**. Josh (JAYWETH) and Darius (DEEEZGAINS) answer questions from the MacBroz community and give their takes on gear, training, upgrades, optics, and plenty of gun-industry opinions along the way. We talk Gideon Optics, upgrades that actually make a difference, where your money should go first—ammo, training, or gear—dry fire, getting better as a shooter, and whether most people are better off running a comp, ports, or just leaving their gun stock. Plus, we catch up on what’s new with the Broz, including the Tisas PX-9 Carry, DS9 Comp, Staccato C, new Tier 1 holsters, and the Gideon Valor Mini. 👍 Like 💬 Drop your questions for the next Q&A ➕ Follow the MacBroz on Rumble

Episode 104 was a fun one. We were joined by our friend Rob from @madsciencetactical and kicked things off with some New Business, catching up on what everyone has been shooting, testing, building, and messing with lately. Darius gives his thoughts after getting more time behind his M&P with the Dimebag porting and, maybe even more importantly, his Staccato is finally back. Josh talks about testing Staccato remanufactured ammo, a simple but awesome 3D-printed paster dispenser, and the TandemKross Manticore X lower receiver. Rob jumps in with some of what he has been working with too, including Spec Mud lube and his experiences with new pistols from Tisas and BUL Armory. Of course, Episode 104 was also the night of our big MacBroz giveaway. Huge thanks to @welikeshooting, @madsciencetactical, @otistechnology, and @osightworld for helping us put together some awesome prizes, and congratulations to @amazingjsports on the win! We also threw out an idea that could be a lot of fun for 2027: Should @macbroz host a competition shoot after @guncon? A chance to get creators, brands, friends, and the community together after the convention for some friendly competition sounds pretty damn good to us. Let us know if you’d be interested.

The MacBroz are taking it back to the ’90s with a little Pokémon talk—because who didn’t grow up trying to catch ’em all? Then Josh and Darius break down their latest United States Concealed Carry League match results. They discuss what went well, where they struggled, what they learned, and the areas they need to improve before the next competition. Darius shares an update on his new M&P featuring Dime Bag porting from Monsoon Tactical and a special custom Cerakote finish. Josh also gives the latest on his Staccato CS project, including porting from Pew Pew CNC and a new optic from Gideon Optics. The guys also get into the practical value of competition shooting. Matches provide a real litmus test for your skills, expose weaknesses that may not appear during normal range sessions, and force you to perform outside your comfort zone. Improvement requires staying humble, accepting where you fall short, and putting in the work instead of remaining comfortable. 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.
