Hot Deals on Ammo ----------------- You prefer ammo over chocolate-covered strawberries? We do, too. Save some money on ammo this Valentine's Day. -- ppt/ammo-widget -- -- ppt/ammo-widget -- Be Safe Out There ----------------- Want to practice safe shooting? It's the responsible thing to do. **ShellShock Premium Eyes & Ears Combo (Electronic)** We at Pew Pew Tactical decided to spin up our own company called [**ShellShock Protection**](https://shellshockpro.com/) to source the best essentials for new shooters. It doesn't get easier than picking up a Premium Starter Pack with everything you or a loved one needs to have a successful training session. The **[EXO Pro](https://admin.pewpewtactical.com/go/shellshock/exo-pro/)** electronic earmuffs have a 22-decibel NRR rating and, more importantly, software that keeps gunshots to a safe volume while letting you hear everything else that's going on around you. We've got your eyes covered, too. The **[SWITCH](https://admin.pewpewtactical.com/go/shellshock/shellshock-switch/)** ballistic glasses in this kit offer ANSI Z87.1+ protection against shrapnel, and they come with clear and smoked lenses, so you're ready, come rain or shine. Lock it Down With a Gun Safe ---------------------------- We know you love your pistol, but you can't put a ring on it. You can lock up that relationship, though! **Vaultek LifePod 20** We're big fans of the **Vaultek LifePod 2.0**. This compact safe has room for your EDC, a spare mag, and a few other small items. The digital keypad is fast and secure, and you can tether this safe to something immovable for an extra layer of protection. Vaultek has **[lots of other cool gun safes](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/vaultek-safe-reviews-vt10i-vt20i/)**, too - even biometric ones! Want something that doesn't rely on batteries? We get it; the old ways still work. The **[Fort Knox FTK-PB Simplex Handgun Safe](https://amzn.to/3MtDxrX)** is super beefy, has lots of room, and uses a simple mechanical lock that you can easily deactivate in the dark. See more great security measures in our guide to the [**Best Handgun Safes**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-bedside-gun-safe-quick-access/). Seal the Deal with a Premium AR-15 Upper ---------------------------------------- Looking to build an AR-15 or upgrade the tired, old rifle you're currently running? **Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 Upper** Treat yourself to a **Daniel Defense DDM4 V7** complete upper receiver. Everything about this upper receiver is high-end. The cold hammer forged barrel, mid-length gas system, flash suppressor, bolt carrier group, and handguard are all downright swanky. All you have to do is mount an optic and find this beauty a suitable lower receiver. Read more in our **[Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 review](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/daniel-defense-ddm4-v7-review/)**, or get more great recommendations in our guide to the [**Best AR-15 Uppers**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-ar-15-complete-upper-receiver/). Do You Need to Pump the Brakes? ------------------------------- Why rush into things? Just like a whirlwind romance, your AR-15 might need to hit the brakes -- muzzle brakes, that is. **Precision Armament M4-72** The **Precision Armament M4-72** exhibited the low recoil and super minimal reticle movement during our testing. Check it out in our video testing of side blast, decibel readings, and reticle movement! Looking for something else? We also have recommendations for a brake/compensator hybrid, a high-tech brake, and a budget-conscious option in our **[Best AR-15 Muzzle Brakes](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-ar-15-muzzle-brakes/)** article. Targets Fit for Cupid's FMJs ---------------------------- "Impact!" Nothing is more satisfying than hearing that steel *\*ping!\** when your round hits an **AR500 target**. **Shoot Steel 3/8" AR500 Target Package** There's tons of manufacturers out there but **[Shoot Steel](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/go/shootsteel/shootsteel-home/)** is particularly value-smart. Paper and cardboard targets still have their place, but steel targets are incredibly helpful for shooting fast, getting instant feedback, and saving trips downrange to check your impacts. Hit up our hands-on **[Shoot Steel review](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/shoot-steel-ar500-targets-review/)** to see what we mean. You can find more steel targets in our guide to the [**Best AR500 Steel Targets**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-ar500-steel-targets/). Slip Into Something a Little More Comfortable --------------------------------------------- Need to keep those pants from sagging with a handgun and extra mags? You can't go wrong with a **Kore Essentials** belt. **Kore Essentials Tactical Gun Belt** We tested the Kore Essentials X7 tactical gun belt and love how comfortable and supportive it is. This is what I wear on the daily. It lets me easily adjust a little bit bigger when I sit down and tighten it when I stand up. It's great when I'm carrying appendix. Want a more heavy-duty gun belt that you still can wear every day? You need a **[Blue Alpha Hybrid EDC Belt](https://www.bluealphabelts.com/product/hybrid-edc-belt/?aff=3)**! Check out the rest of our tested belts in [**Best Gun Belts for the Range and CCW**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-gun-belts-concealed-carry-range/). See Your Future Together ------------------------ Are you looking for clarity in your relationship? Can you see it going the distance? Maybe you just need a better optic. **Vortex Crossfire Red/Green Dot** Vortex just updated its Crossfire red dot with two new options. You can get the existing red dot in black or FDE, and there's a new green dot only available in black. All three are affordable, tough, and easy to use. You'll even get hardware and both low- and mid-rise mounts in the box. Want something magnified? We love the the **[Primary Arms SLx 1-6x24](https://admin.pewpewtactical.com/go/primaryarms/slx-1-6x24-gen-iv/)**. It's budget-friendly and comes with a super handy ACSS NOVA reticle that gives you multiple holds for different distances and tools for ranging targets. Check out our full [**Primary Arms SLx 1-6x24 review**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/primary-arms-slx-1-6x24-gen-iv-review/) to see it in action! Put That Broken Heart Back Together Again ----------------------------------------- You'll probably need a first aid kit more often than a gun. Check out the **Uncharted Supply Co. First Aid Plus** for some nifty pieces that you don't usually see in a first aid kit. **Uncharted Supply Co. First Aid Plus** It's full of useful first aid gear and a few tools to prevent accidents from happening in the first place. Need matches, a multitool, or a flashlight? Check! This Uncharted Supply Co. kit is riding shotgun in some of our cars as you read this. We also love **[MyMedic](https://admin.pewpewtactical.com/go/mymedic/mymedic-first-aid-kits/)** first aid kits. There are lots of sizes to choose from! Read the full [**MyMedic review**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/mymedic-first-aid-kit-review/) for more info. Stay Strapped or Get Clapped ---------------------------- We're a little biased here, but we love our **Pew Pew Tactical sling**! It's a good piece of gear. We think you'll like it, too. **Pew Pew Tactical Sling** Ours has just the right amount of padding, it's easily adjustable, and -- most importantly if you want to have a date on Valentine's Day -- it looks freakin' cool in Multicam. Want something else? Check out our **[AR-15 sling review](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-ar15-precision-rifle-sling/)** for more ideas. Find the Light of Your Life --------------------------- Light up the love of your life with some eye-searing flashlights. Need a recommendation? Check out the **Fenix PD36R Pro** for a sweet EDC option. **Fenix PD36R Pro** This powerhouse can fire 2,800 lumens more than 1,200 feet into the night! It runs on a rechargeable battery so you can top it off with a USB-C cord instead of carting around spare disposable batteries. Dial the power back to extend battery life up to 42 hours. There's even a tactical strobe mode for self defense or signaling for help. See more of our tested lights in [**Best Tactical Lights**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-tactical-flashlights/) and [**Best EDC Lights**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-edc-flashlights/). Let's Cut to the Chase ---------------------- Sometimes you have to cut ties to find love. It's sad but true. Better make it a clean break with one our favorite EDC knives, the **Spyderco Tenacious**. **Spyderco Tenacious** This pocket-sized folding knife is small enough to carry every day, tough enough to handle whatever you throw at it, and it feels great in the hand. It's a do-it-all blade from one of the best knife makers out there, but it won't poke a hole in your budget. What's not to love? See the rest of the knives we tested in our [**8 Best EDC Knives**](https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-edc-knives/) review.
