Valentine’s Day Gun Gifts From YOU to YOU

Who is the Mosin-portant person in your life?

If you’re looking for a gun-obsessed significant other…we have an article for that (Best Gifts for Gun Lovers).

But how about something for yourself?

Something that is a little more gun oriented?  And ever so slightly Valentine’s related.

Get ready for some terrible puns too.

Best Electronic Ear Protection

Want to be able to hear your significant other when you go to the range?

You’ll want some electronic ear pro that cuts out the loud shooting sounds but amplifies regular speaking tones.

Our favorite is the AXIL TRACKR since it’s comfy, effective, and affordable at 2 pairs for $99.

You know…sharing is caring!

But if you want to ball it out with our favorite…the MSA Sordin Supreme Pro X is what we use for extended range and competition sessions.

Check out more details and picks (even passive protection ones) in 7 Best Shooting Ear Protection Options.

Best AR-15 Muzzle Brake

Want to get back on target faster after each shot?  We hands-on tested a bunch of AR-15 muzzle brakes and crown our winner…

It had the least recoil and super minimal reticle movement.  Check it out in our video testing of side blast, decibel readings, and reticle movement.

The M4-72 Severe Duty is our overall winner but we also have picks for brake/compensator hybrid, most high-tech brake, and best bang-for-the-buck in our Best AR-15 Muzzle Brakes Article.

Best AR500 Shooting Targets

Another fun thing to pick up to have fun at the range.

Nothing is more satisfying than hearing that steel *PING* when your round hits an AR500 target.

There’s tons of manufacturers out there but our favorite is Shoot Steel.

Here is our hands-on review of them.

But that’s not why we’re here.  This is some of their cool stuff…

And…

Best AR-15 Uppers

Want a little more variety in your (AR-15) life?

One of our go-to recommendations is with Aero Precision.

It’s solidly built AND is nicely finished.  Plus it’s affordable.

Above you can see the 12″ rail on a 16″ barrel but now I’m kind of diggin’ the 15″ rails…

If you want to go cheaper but will still always go bang…you can’t go wrong with PSA.

Check out the full reviews and more recommendations in Best AR-15 Uppers.

Best Gun Safes

We go super in-depth into these in our Best Gun Safes article…but here’s a few of our favorites.

Our best handgun safe goes to the Fort Knox FTK-PB Simplex Handgun Safe that’s super beefy, holds a good amount, and has a simple “Simplex” lock that you can easily unlock in the dark.

Our overall favorite pick in Best Handgun Safes.

How about something more techy?

Our favorite biometric safe is the QAP1BE from SentrySafe.

See it in action!

And then read all about it and more in our Best Biometric Gun Safes article.

And our favorite travel-sized (or home CCW gun for me) locked box is the Vaultek LifePod.

Looks great, holds up to two guns, secure enough, and fast access.

Best Gun Belts

Need to keep those pants up with a handgun and extra mags?

We cover the best quick adjust ones (Kore Essentials) for concealed carry…that don’t scream GUN.

This is what I wear on the daily and lets me easily adjust a little bit bigger when sitting down. Great when I’m carrying appendix.

To the best nylon belts with COBRA buckles…

Check out the rest of our tested belts in Best Gun Belts for the Range and CCW.

Best Gift Your Girlfriend/Wife Would Probably Like

From our friends at Mira safety…you know…the gas mask and armor company.

Comes something to help you clean up your food at the molecular model.

No more sprays or whatever you get at the supermarket…use ultrasonic waves and some ozone to kill those nasties covering your fruits/veggies.

Check the Mira Safety DTX-1 out.

Best Optics & Scopes

If you can’t quickly see your target…you’re not going to hit it.

If you’re just getting into the world of red dots…our go-to red dot under $200 is the Sig Sauer Romeo5.

Closer to $100 now, crisp dot, clear glass, robust, and tens of thousands of hours of leaving it on.

Want something magnified?

Our favorite 1-6x is the Primary Arms ACSS Reticle.

Best AR-15 Sling

We’re a little biased here…but we did choose our Pew Pew Tactical sling based off our experience with what’s currently out there.

Check out the full review vs others.

And ours is just the right amount of padding, easily adjustable, and most importantly…looks freakin’ cool in Multicam.

Best Tactical/EDC Flashlights

Light up the love of your life with some eye-searing flashlights.

As for EDC, our favorite light is the Fenix PD25.

See more of our tested lights in Best Tactical Lights and Best EDC Lights.

Best EDC Knife

Our favorite pocket knife that won’t make you cry if you lose it goes to the Kershaw Leek.

While our Writer’s Choice goes to the Benchmade Griptilian.

See the rest of our tested knives in our 8 Best EDC Knives article.

Best Holsters

We go into this super in-depth in our Best Concealed Carry Holsters article…but how about a holster for those of you that wear bras (thanks Patrick down in the comments)!

Check out our full review of the Flashbang Bra Holster…
