2025 Guns & Gear Holiday Gift Guide
If you’re like me, you haven’t bought many gifts yet for the 2025 holiday season, so this guide should come at the perfect time and serve as a reminder to start shopping!
Each year, we like to gather the best gear, guns, and gadgets all in one place to simplify your shopping. Whether your budget is $25 or $2,500, we have you covered.
You can’t go wrong with a mag and some ammo.
There are a few products any shooter can always use, such as magazines and ammo, but if you’re looking for a few unique or extra special gift ideas, make sure to read until the end!
Small Gifts (Under $25)
These gifts are going to be perfect for your next secret Santa party, or if you have to buy in bulk for people and don’t want to empty your bank account.
Maglula AR-15 Magazine Loader
I was late to the party getting oen of these, but now I use mine all the time and think every shooter with an AR-15 should have one. These not only save time but also save your thumbs. If you’ve ever preloaded 20+ magazines for a training class or range trip, you’ll quickly see the value during your first use.
It works with all your standard AR mags and even helps you unload them if need be. Don’t sleep on the Maglula AR-15 mag loader!
Lancer L5AWM Translucent Red Magazine
Perfect for the range, these translucent red magazines let you see your remaining capacity and find them quickly if dropped amongst a sea of black magazines. Boasting a 30-round capacity and featuring steel feed lips, there isn’t much more to ask for out of a rifle mag.

Pistol Grip or Foregrip
Upgrading your pistol grip or adding a foregrip is one of the easiest ways to improve your rifle’s ergonomics. Plus, they are typically very affordable making them great small gift ideas.
Whether you’re looking for a vertical grip, angled foregrip, pistol grip, or hand stop, we’ve made sure to carry them all! Each shooter will have their own preferences, but I’m a sucker for the BCM Gunfighter vertical grip and matching pistol grip. You also can’t go wrong with the classic Magpul MOE pistol grip.
Magazine or Grip Extension
From adding capacity to grip real estate, adding a magazine or grip extension is a quick and easy way to upgrade your pistol magazine. Be mindful of magazine capacity limits where you reside, in which case you may just have to stick with a grip extension that doesn’t add any rounds.
Who can argue with adding capacity and finger real estate?
If you’re looking for true magazine extensions to bump those numbers up, I highly recommend those from Tyrant CNC. On the other hand, if you’re searching for a simple grip extension, Pearce Grips won’t disappoint.
Main Gifts ($25 to $250)
Family members, shooting buddies, and the neighbor who has land you can shoot on all deserve a solid gift. You’d be surprised how much awesome stuff you can get for under a couple of hundred dollars.
AR-15 Essentials Bundle
Let us take the stress out of picking and choosing products, and grab one of our AR-15 Essential Bundles. It comes with three 30-round Gen M2 PMAGs and one of the Maglula loaders we mentioned earlier!
Whether you’re buying for a new or seasoned shooter, this bundle is sure to please.
Radian Charging Handle
Radian makes some of the most well-respected and popular charging handles, period. Almost every rifle of mine gets one, whether it’s the lightweight LT, standard Raptor, or suppressor-optimized SD.
The “Gold Standard” of charging handles.
Case of Ammo (Pistol)
This section needs no explanation. Would you ever complain about recieving a case of ammo? I don’t think so.
From .22 LR to 10mm, and everything in between, we have you covered.
Aguila .22LR 40gr Super Extra Standard Velocity Solid Point Ammo

Streamlight TLR-1 HL or TLR-7X
No matter what new lights hit the market, the TLR-1 and TLR-7 line from Streamlight remains one of the most popular, and for good reason. Both deliver impressive light output and durability, at a price that’s hard to beat.
One of my home defense pistols sports a TLR-7X.
For your full-size pistols, the TLR-1 HL is the one to check out; for compact pistols, the TLR-7X is ideal.
Seasoned Shooter Gifts ($250 to $500)
If you have some disposable income that’s burning a hole in your pocket and you want to treat those close to you this year, this is your section. You can also treat yourself to something from it without worrying too much about being in the dog house.
Radian Afterburner + Ramjet
For those that have a Glock or Sig, the Radian Afterburner + Ramjet combos are guaranteed to be a hit for the holidays.
Built for performance. Source
Reducing recoil and improving accuracy are both things that appeal to every shooter. With the simple installation of the Afterburner + Ramjet combo, you get both of those plus an aesthetic upgrade.
Surefire Weapon Light
Although the light outputs are often comparable to Streamlight, Surefire is considered the more premium brand, with serious shooters often looking at them for the superior durability and reliability.
Durability is not something you’ll have to worry about.
There are plenty of models to choose from on both the pistol and rifle side of the house, some with fantastic features such as dual-fuel compatability and Turbo reflectors for far-reaching beams.
They are pricey, but you get what you pay for!
Case of Ammo (Rifle)
Again, it’s ammo. Everyone can use it. No one will complain.

VIP Gifts ($500+)
Remember the last section where I mentioned being in the dog house? Well, these ones will put you there without prior approval. Or, you can simply buy your significant other one as well and call it even!
Trijicon Red Dot Sight
From home defense to competitions to duty use, there is a reason that Trijicon is one of the most well-respected in the industry.
Ready for the range, home protection, or duty.
When you purchase a Trijicon red dot sight, you’re not just paying for the name; you’re getting proven durability, advanced electronics, and a fantastic warranty.
Need a competition optic? Check out the SRO.
Want a concealed carry red dot sight? The RMR Type 2 is hard to beat.
Holosun IRIS-3 IR Illuminator
Are you or your friends into night vision? Do you like being able to acquire your target in any lighting condition with ease? If so, the IRIS-3 from Holosun is one of your best options!
Featuring an IR illuminator, IR laser, and a visible green laser, you have an aiming device that delivers the best of “all the worlds”.
A New Handgun
Even though we don’t sell them, we couldn’t conclude the list without mentioning a few handguns that would make fantastic gifts!
The 15+1 standard capacity for both is not too shabby.
Let’s be honest, there are too many excellent pistols out there even to begin to make a list, but you can never go wrong with a new Glock or M&P. If you’re feeling fancy, a 1911 is sure to please most enthusiasts as well.
Regardless of which you decide to go with, you know where to find all of your mags, ammo, and accessories!
Parting Thoughts
Giving gifts can feel just as good as receiving them, especially if you choose the right products. I know I’d be happy to receive anything from this list, and I’m sure many of your friends and family will too.
Grab your gear before the last-minute holiday rush hits to ensure your presents arrive before the big day!
