Every year, the market continues to expand with awesome guns and gear that are well-deserving of our hard-earned money. Of course, everything is subjective, as each person has different preferences and needs, but many products have rather universal appeal in the industry. 

From firearms to accessories to apparel and everything in between, we’re here to spark holiday gift-giving ideas and make your holiday shopping experience stress-free.

Stocking Stuffers

Small enough to truly fit in a stocking and cheap enough to buy multiples, these are perfect for last-minute additions. You should be able to find them all under $20. 

A Box of Ammo

Unless someone is a seasoned reloader, they can probably use some more ammo. In fact, even if they are, they can still probably use some more ammo. You can never have enough! 

Throw a box of Blazer Brass 9mm or PMC Bronze .223 into a stocking or two and give the people what they really want! No shooter will be upset with a box or two of ammo in their stocking.

Blazer Brass 9mm

Some of my go-to range ammo.

Magpul DAKA Essential Wallet

Everybody can benefit from having a convenient way to carry a few cards and cash when they run out the door. Whether you use a wallet normally or want something to keep a few cards in when you head out for a run or travel, the Magpul DAKA Essential Wallet is perfect.

Despite the extremely affordable price, the reinforced polymer fabric offers superior durability, and you’ll be able to fit 3-7 cards comfortably. It’s a great size for front-pocket carry, which is much safer than carrying your wallet in the back. 

Streamlight MicroStream

Small but mighty, the MicroStream has been one of my daily carries since I can remember. Powered by a single AAA battery, it produces 45 lumens for 2.25 hours. This is just enough for “normal” daily tasks like checking under the car seats. 

You’ll find a nice pocket clip included that can also clip to the brim of your hat, perfect for hands-free use. With the aluminum construction and IPX4 rating, it’s ready for anything.

To get the Coyote finish, you’ll have to go with the USB model. Source

Streamlight has since released USB rechargeable models, which boast higher output. However, they are not dual-power, meaning you can’t use a standard battery. 

Thompson Peel & Stick Targets

These targets come in packs of 50, are offered in several high-visibility colors, and fit perfectly in your range bag. You won’t need to worry about carrying tape or staples—just peel and stick! They even come in a handy little plastic container so they don’t fly all around in your bag. Oh yeah, they are made in the U.S.A., too!

Small Gifts

Maybe you want to give a gift to someone that won’t break the bank but is still nice enough to be a standalone gift. If that’s the case, consider these!

Magazines, Magazines & More Magazines

You can never have too many magazines. Pistol, rifle, and shotgun magazines make great gifts, and I’ve never met a shooter who would be unhappy with free mags. 

From 33-round Glock magazines to 50-round drums, there is a magazine for everybody out there!

Of course, you’ll need to make sure the magazines are compatible with the recipient’s firearms, but that shouldn’t be too hard.

There are magazines for every need.

Arrowhead Tactical Apparel

For those who carry, having the appropriate apparel is crucial. Arrowhead Tactical has been popping up all over social media, and for good reason. Offering concealed carry shorts, pants, shirts, and hoodies, you’ll have more options than ever to keep your pistol concealed (which is the whole point!).

UpLULA Mag Loader

Everyone should have an UpLULA Mag Loader in their range bag. Why not save time and reduce joint pain by having some assistance loading all those magazines you should be shooting?!MagLula makes sure no matter what magazines you’re loading, you’re covered. If you need a loader for your common pistol rounds, the universal UpLULA is perfect. Do you shoot mostly AR-15s? You can grab one of the AR-15 LULAs! And we can’t forget about you rimfire fans…you can opt for the Ruger 10/22 LULA!

Savior Equipment Rifle Case

Every shooter should have a high-quality and organized rifle case. If your loved ones don’t, you should consider getting them one from Savior Equipment.

If you use night vision, the lower three brightness settings will be compatible, and when you’re not, the Daylight Bright setting will have you covered on even the most sunny days. 

Vaultek 20 Series Blutetooth Safe 

Every gun owner needs to ensure all of their firearms are kept safe and secure. What better way to do so than with a technologically advanced and durable nightstand safe?

Do not simply leave your guns out on the counter! Source

The Vaultek 20 series can accommodate multiple pistols and a spare magazine or two (depending on pistol models), without taking up a ton of space on or in your nightstand. With a backlit LED keypad, dual anti-impact latches, and the option for a biometric scanner, there isn’t much these safes leave to be desired. You can even use the app to manage your safe when you’re within Bluetooth range. 

Magazine Bulk Packs

We wouldn’t be doing our jobs without recommending some magazines again. This time though, we’re talking about bulk packs! Who in their right mind wouldn’t want a 10-pack of PMAGs or 6-pack of Lancer L5AWMs?

They aren’t the prettiest, but they sure are dependable.

The Glock 19 is arguably the most popular pistol thanks to its ease of use, aftermarket support, and reliability.

With a standard 15+1 capacity and the ability to accept many larger magazines, it’s great for the range, home defense, or concealed carry.
