What is TheBaconNation?

TheBaconNation is a crew that gets together to review firearms and ammunition, and create Corgi videos. Firearms chambered in 380acp are our primary focus, but we regularly venture into the relms of other calibers. The Corgi Brothers Finn and Fred make regular appearances in videos in the non-range segments to help add a little fun to an otherwise serious topic. We hope you join us for some informative videos that sprinkle in a little bit of fun along the way.

Don't worry! While Fred appears in the talking parts of some videos, his big ears and tiny legs are not present for the range portions of the videos. He's usually laying on an AC vent stealing cold air while we're filming the range segments.
