How We Chose the Best Gun T-Shirts
We asked our staff writers, freelancers, and editors to all pitch into this article with suggestions on their favorite t-shirt brands. We ultimately selected brands with similar qualities:
- High-quality tees
- Awesome-looking/unique designs
- Variety of designs
- Under $35
Most of these companies support 2A or other causes, and that definitely gets factored into our selection process. I mean, who doesn’t want to support a fantastic cause while looking good?!
Some of these brands we personally have tried and currently own their tees. If that’s the case, we’ll mention it. Otherwise, we rely on brands that we have heavily researched and know are worth your coin.
Best Gun T-Shirts
1. Tristar Trading Co
So we might be a tad biased with this pick as Tristar Trading Co handles our PPT merch, but you know we wouldn’t choose just anybody to make Pew Pew Tactical gear.
Seriously, though, we legit love Tristar’s offerings, and not just because they supply our swag.
Based out of Tennessee, Tristar is committed to bringing quirky and clever merch to gun fanatics. From tees and hoodies to hats and patches, you’ll get some truly unique gear here.
Their shirts are super soft and cozy -- no itchy materials allowed. They also hold up. Most of us here at Pew Pew Tactical have been wearing our own shirts since they launched and they are still looking like new.
Most importantly, we love Tristar’s ordering policies, which include some of the fastest shipping times you’ll see. Plus, if it says “in stock” on their site, you can guarantee it’s actually in stock. Ordered the wrong size? No worries; they’re good about swapping you into a shirt that fits.
Size-wise, no worries here...they offer Small to 6XL.
Most shirts are priced under $30 but if you shop sales, you can even find tees for under $20.
All in all, Tristar is one of our favorites, and we highly recommend checking out their selection. You won’t be disappointed.
2. A Better Way 2A
Another company that makes some really fun and unique apparel is A Better Way 2A.
Leaning into the quirky, A Better Way’s repertoire includes everything from the silly to the somber (R.I.P Peanut the Squirrel).
Even better, A Better Way 2A also donates to causes. We personally love to stand behind a good cause, and buying a shirt that helps out others feels like a win-win.
In terms of sizing, they offer XS to 5XL on standard tees and S to 2XL in women’s sizing. We appreciate the wide range of sizing and the inclusion of women’s sizing so you can get the perfect fit.
In addition to standard tees, they also sell hoodies, hats, jackets, patches, and even med kits. It’s like a one-stop shop for all your shopping needs.
3. Arm the Animals
Arm the Animals brings some quirky styling to the gun genre, pairing cute animals with weaponry.
From dogs to cats to penguins, there are plenty of armed animals to choose from. Personally, we like their Ain’t Kitten Around, Pen-Gun, and Artillery Sloth the best. But again, they have plenty of animals to choose from, so your favorite is probably included.
Most of their shirts come in a few color options, and sizes range from Small to 2XL.
We’ve also found their shirts to be pretty soft and cozy. If you aren’t to add more to your cart than just tees, they also offer totes, stickers, socks, and even drinkware.
Another really cool feature of Arm the Animals is that the group has partnered with 150+ animal welfare organizations since its inception in 2010. So, if you’re as passionate about animals as you are about guns, this is a good place to spend some money.
4. Guns.com
We know Guns.com technically sells guns, but their merch is worth taking a look at.
Personally, we like their 80s-inspired Uzi and AK-47 Laborwave tees. Who doesn’t like to revisit the golden age of synth and neon colors?
Sizes start at Small and go up to 3XL. The Guns.com tees we’ve tried in the past have been pretty soft and come in under $30.
Though these aren’t in the tee category, if you’re feeling festive, they also have Ugly Christmas Sweaters or, for those who prefer island vibes...a Hawaiian shirt.
5. Nine Line Apparel
Our next recommendation comes in a little close to the aggressive gun guy style, but they do offer a few fun, unique designs as well.
Most importantly, Nine Line Apparel is committed to giving back to the military and first responder communities. Again, we like companies that use their powers for good.
Based in Georgia, Nine Line Apparel fits its inventory with some pretty unique designs – from Pooh to tactical trash pandas and even blueprints of F-14s...there’s something for everyone.
Most of their tees come in right around $30 but catch a sale for prices lower than that.
6. Armed in Style
This one’s for the girlies…
Armed in Style lives up to its name, bringing feminine designs to its gun tees. Not only do we think their designs are chic, but we also like that the shirts are on the flowy side – making them perfect for concealed carry.
We love their “Load My Mags and Call Me Pretty” shirt, but the “Range Date Material” is a close second.
In addition to tees and hoodies, Armed In Style also makes sun hats, jewelry, and even decorative pillows that double as dry fire targets.
She’s got depth, hunny.
If your fave girl needs a gift or if you’re an independent woman looking for something gun-centric to show your 2A support, Armed in Style has you covered.
