Even though we don’t sell firearms, it’s our job to keep our eyes on which are trending and selling the best at all times. That way, we can ensure to provide you all with the mags, ammo, and accessories to support them!
Social media gives you a good idea of which guns are trending, but you’ll have to do a bit of research to see which are actually selling. Just because your favorite YouTuber is pushing the “latest and greatest”, it doesn’t necessarily mean the market agrees.
We’re almost through Q1 of 2026, and we think you’ll be surprised by at least a couple of the best-selling guns so far this year; others not so much.
Best-selling Pistols
Taurus TX22
With the recent rise in popularity of FRTs, the Taurus TX22 has skyrocketed to the top of the chart. For the last few months, stores have had a hard time keeping them in stock!
It has everything you can want in a rimfire pistol: a clean trigger, high-capacity magazine options, and, depending on your model, a threaded barrel and an optics-ready slide. You’ll also find the grip and controls to be extremely ergonomic, making it a favorite among competition shooters and weekend plinkers alike.
Not only does it come with everything you’d want out of the box, but it also doesn’t break the bank. That means you can grab some mags and ammo along with it, too!
Sig Sauer P365
Month after month, year after year, P365 and its variants remain at the top of bestseller lists. Why? Modularity, capacity, and aftermarket support. The Fire Control Unit (FCU) can be swapped with ease between frames, giving you endless configuration options.

While the trigger won’t win any awards, you can find that most of the models come with upgraded night sights, optics-ready slides, and accessory rails. With the ability to add all of your favorite accessories plus the aftermarket support for parts and components, the build possibilities are infinite with the P365.
Glock 43X MOS
You can’t go wrong with Glock, especially a Slimline model like the 43X MOS. Aside from the “Glock reliability” which sells itself, the 43X MOS also comes with an optics-ready slide with front and rear serrations, an accessory rail, and a plethora of aftermarket support.
The main complaint you’ll hear around the 43X is that the standard factory magazines only hold ten rounds of 9mm. However, Shield Arms fixes that with its popular S15 which provides an additional five rounds, all within the same footprint.
Overall, the 43X is comfortable to carry and extremely reliable, making it a fantastic carry gun.
Ruger Mark IV
Some may be surprised to find another rimfire pistol selling so well, but with the avaiability and price of .22 LR ammo, we will likely continue to see these pistols selling well forever.

The Mark IV comes in several different models that range from standard to competition to tactical, so you can find one that fits your needs.
They almost all will have a fantastic trigger, a cold-hammer forged barrel, and accurate sighting systems. You’ll have to put out a few more bucks to acquire one than say the TX22, but we almost never hear of someone regretting buying one!
Springfield Armory Kuna
Pistol caliber carbines (PCCs) have exploded over the last couple of years, with the Springfield Armory Kuna leading the pack. This roller-delayed 9mm brings exceptional reliabilty and very low recoil to the table, making it an absolute blast to shoot.
Thanks to it’s compact form factor and impressive capacity, many choose to run it as a home defense or truck gun. The magazines are proprietary, so they are sometimes hard to come by, but don’t worry, we make sure to replenish our stock of them as often as possible!
You’ll find hybrid flip-up sights, a full-length rail, and ambidextrous controls finishing off the firearm, leaving virtually nothing to be desired!
Best-selling Rifles
Radical Firearms RF-15
It’s not often you find a complete AR-15 for under $500, but Radical Firearms does its best to deliver just that. You can typically find them under that threshold in a few different configurations and calibers.

You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg on an AR-15 these days, and this proves it. Source
You’ll find the RF-15 comes with plenty of M-LOK and rail space to accommodate all of your favorite optics, lights, and lasers, plus certain models even come with upgraded furniture. In this economy, it’s no surprise that an affordable complete AR-15 sells so well.
Since training is the most important aspect of firearm ownership, the money you save upfront leaves room for a ton of magazines and ammo.
Ruger 10/22
Everyone should have a Ruger 10/22. Yes, we said it and we mean it. It’s one of the most trusted and proven rimfire platforms out there and the aftermarket support is next level.

In almost every model, you’ll find a cold-hammer forged barrel, easy-to-use controls, and a surprisingly clean trigger. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more reliable rimfire rifle out there, and since .22 LR ammo is so affordable, you can shoot for hours and hours without worry.
Regardless of your budget, you should be able to find a 10/22 that fits within it!
Marlin 1895
Lever-action rifles aren’t just making a comeback; they are officially back, and Marlin is leading the pack. The Marlin 1895 has everything you could want in a lever-action rifle, plus more, especially with Dark Series model.

The blacked-out aesthetic is a serious vibe. Source
With more M-LOK slots than your standard AR-15, a threaded barrel, and a Picatiny rail up top, there is virtually no accessory you wont’ be able to mount. The action is smooth as butter and the rifle is dead accurate, granted a skilled shooter is behind it of course.
Ruger American
The Ruger American appeals to long-range shooters, hunters, and range warriors alike, so it’s no surprise to see them sell like hotcakes. Well respected for its Ruger Marksman adjustable trigger, it gives shooters very few excuses to not be accurate.

You can’t go wrong with either. Source
You’ll also find they come with a threaded barrel, intuitive three-position tang safety, and a patented Power Bedding integral bedding block system that helps deliver outstanding accuracy…in case the trigger alone wasn’t enough.
These rifles are affordable, versatile, and don’t look half bad either!
Best-selling Shotguns
Mossberg Maverick 88
You literally can’t go wrong with a 12-gauge pump action shotgun from one of the most respected shotgun manufacturers in the industry. Plus, with a retail price for certain models coming in under $300, there is no end in sight for them to fall off the best selling charts.

If there is a budget shotgun you should consider, this is it. Source
Given their popularity and ability to accept many Mossberg 500 parts, you’re able to customize it greatly with all of the money you saved on the upfront purchase. They aren’t fancy, but they do have all the feature you’ve come to expect from Mossberg such as dual extzractxors, twin action bars, and an anti-jam elevator to name a few.
Tokarev TAR 12
The Tokarev TAR 12 brings a budget friendly cross over firearm for those who appreciate AR-15 style ergonomics, but want to run and gun with a shotgun. Between the lightweight aluminum receiver, polymer furniture, and gas-operated system, you get a durable and reliable shotgun.

You will 100% want a few extended magazines! Source
One of the other big appeals that draws people in? That’s easy; the magazine compatibility lets you run extended and drum magazines for extra fun!
