Editor’s Picks: Guns & Gear

If you're measuring your AR-15 build in ounces, the Faxon ION upper has your name written all over it. The M-LOK handguard is Mae from carbon fiber to keep weight down. An integrated brake lets Faxon use a shorter pencil-profile barrel while maintaining a 16-inch length. It's that committed to staying light. See it in action in our hands-on review and video!

If you carry a CCW then you should also carry extra ammo, just in case. Desantis Mag-Pack is the best pocket carry mag holster we've found, read about all of our picks for Best CCW Mag Holsters in our review!

Need to take everything but the kitchen sink with you to the range? Well, so do we. The 5.11 Tactical Range Bag is simply perfect for fitting all your needed supplies into one place. Look for more great recommendations in our Best Range Bags review!

Best ammo you can get for your M1! Clean, reliable, and most importantly - designed for the M1 to keep it running forever! Find all of our recommendations for .30-06 ammo in the complete Best .30-06 Ammo Guide!

Designed for use with a suppressor or to co-witness with a red dot these sights are set higher than normal ones to allow for the extra space required. A great addition to either an RMR or a suppressor-equipped Glock.

Faxon is a top pick for great barrels that balance weight, price, accuracy, and durability. We've used them in our AR-10s, AR-9s, and AR-15s so we can highly recommend them based on first-hand experience. Read more in the Best 9mm AR-15 Barrels!

Most AR-15s are over-gassed...which means more recoil.  Adjustable gas blocks restrict the amount of gas returning to your gun.  And this one can bleed it out instead of forcing it out the barrel.  Learn more in our full review.

These might require taking out a second mortgage, selling a kidney, or finding sunken treasure - but when you need the best, EOTech GPNVG is what you reach for. Take a look at more realistic options in our complete guide to Night Vision!

Getting ready for T-Rex season? Have you considered the .45-70? You should! Be it bear defense, hunting deer, hog, or almost anything else on four legs in North America - the .45-70 can bring it down and the Henry Lever Action is an outstanding and beautiful platform to do it with.

At home on the long-range firing line, as it is in the brush, .300 Win Mag is still a favorite for long-range precision shooting. The best results will come from handloading, but if you're in a bind or just don't have the patience - Federal Gold Medal Match is our top pick for facture .300 Win Mag ammo!

Our more affordable pick for Best 3x Magnifier.  Clear glass, rubberized cover, and good eye relief.  But the heaviest, no included mount, and slightly less field of view than our favorite Vortex.

A little more in price, but delivers everything you can ask from a night vision optic. This is great kit and earns our title of editor's pick with flying colors. Read the review and more in our complete article on Night Vision!

8 years and 5K+ rounds through this bad boy...this is why I love Streamlight.  This is my pick for a laser/light combo since it's held up through everything and the laser still keeps on target.  See more at Best Pistol Lights.
