Our latest fave when it comes to budget red dots? The AT3 Tactical Alpha Red Dot. This red dot comes with the perks you'd see in higher-priced red dots, like a 50,000-hour battery and a 15-minute shake-awake feature. View-through is also crisp and clear! See more at the Best Red Dot Sights. 

The Raptor-LT charging handle from Radian has quickly become the gold standard for AR-15 charging handles. Not only is the Raptor-LT a favorite among consumers, but it is also used by many high-end AR-15 manufacturers. It is smooth racking, ergonomic, and extremely easy to run. These are popular and easy to find as well - you won't be disappointed. Read more about it in our article on the Best AR-15 Charging Handles!

Sig Sauer has been leading the charge for innovation in firearms for decades - the P365 is just one iteration of that goal. Starting with a unique double stack magazine design, Sig then built a small, reliable, and handy CCW gun around it. Check out our complete review of the Sig Sauer P365!

Our pick for best fixed magnification optic.  The Vortex Spitfire gives you clear 3x magnification with a reticle that has drop-downs for up to 500 yards for 5.56 ammo.  See the rest of our Best AR-15 Optics & Scopes.

Super sharp, easy to open/close, and great lockup. See why the Mini Griptilian is our writer's favorite in Best EDC Knives.

Best combination of price and performance for a semi-auto shotgun.  Check out our other picks for Best Tactical Shotguns.

Great for hunting, precision, or plinking at the range - the Magpul Hunter stock is a great all around stock that keeps the weight low and the features high. Take a look at our review and more awesome Remington 700 Stocks & Chassis!

Hornady Critical Defense is a fantastic line of ammunition, period. A JHP with a polymer tip to increase ballistic coefficient and provide more velocity out of the same amount of recoil, this ammo performs when you need it most.

Under 2 oz and 200 lumens...this light is perfect for a compact pistol and its activation system is the best in class.  See its beam pattern and more at Best Pistol Lights.

Simple and robust, we keep one in every range bag. It works across almost every magazine and basically every pistol caliber - it just works, always.

Reliability the number one concern in choosing a concealed carry gun?  The Glock 42 in .380 is small AND ready to fire whenever you are.

It can be hard to find subsonic ammo that is reliable and well-made. Sellier & Bellot is at the top of our list for quality and reliable ammo, in several different calibers too! Find ammo for all your .300 Blackout needs in our Best .300 Blackout Ammo review!

The Angstadt Arms 0940 lower is a fantastic foundation for your AR-9 build. It's compatible with 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 Sig. It takes Glock mags and features last-round bolt hold-open. Build quality is excellent, and you can see it for yourself in our hands-on review!

The AR-15 is amazing on almost every front, except for that milspec trigger. Most of us look to replace that trigger as one of the first things we do and many of us never put one in to start with. The Geissele is perfect for that kind of build since it omits the milspec trigger and passes the savings on to you! Take a look at more great AR-15 Lower Parts Kits in our Best AR-15 Lower Parts Kits article!
