10 Must-Have Gifts for Gun Lovers This Holiday Season

I'm sure there's someone in your life that treats their guns better than some of their friends or family. If this is the case with the holidays coming up, they won't be excited with Starbucks gift cards or fitted turtle neck sweaters under their Christmas tree.

You have to get them something gun-related. The good news is there are tons of gun-related gifts on the market to choose from these days.

If you're not sure what to get the experienced gun enthusiast in your life, don't be troubled, my friend because in this article we are giving you the ultimate list of gifts for gun lovers.

1. Gun Store Gift Card

If you have no clue what to get a gun lover, the safe play would be to go to a local gun store and get a gift card. This way, you still have the thought of a gift while still giving your special gun person the ability to choose what they what to buy for themselves. 

2. Gun Bling

Your gun-nut may be tired of the same old vanilla look of their rifles and handguns. There are custom parts on the market where you can fix up your guns with different designs or patterns. Look at offerings from Dawson Precision, JP Custom, or Zev Technologies.

Magazines often can be modified providing a grip extension or extra capacity. Grips are affordable and can dramatically change the look and feel of a firearm.

Aside from parts, you can opt for a more permanent solution like a coating. You can get a gun coated at any place that does powder coating, or contact us for some recommended options.

3. Ammunition

Every gun lover loves to do one thing, and that's to shoot their guns and hone in on their skills. One thing you can never have too much of is ammunition. If you know the type of gun, but unsure of the ammo, you can contact us and we can help pick out the best ammo for your gun lover.

4. Gun Case

Your gun lover may own so many guns that some of them don't have their own cases. Some gun owners may have multiple guns crammed into one gun case or safe. 

What better way to ease that burden than by giving the gift of a new gun case. Most cases are affordable, and you can find them right here at ArnzenArms.com.

5. Gun Holster

There's nothing wrong with gifting a new gun holster. See what kind of guns your gun lover has and try to find a new holster for them. You can choose from open carry holsters (OWB), concealed carry holsters (IWB),  shoulder holsters, or even ankle holsters.

Most handgun holsters are compatible with a wide range of handguns, and I'm sure your gun lover doesn't own all of the different version holsters. If you know what gun they carry, going with a holster would be the right way to go as a gift for anyone with a permit to carry.

6. Gun Belt

The #1 issue we find for people unhappy with the comfort of carrying a firearm is that they overlooked getting a gun belt. A purpose built gun belt is much stiffer than a regular belt and is designed to support the weight.  A gun belt is an affordable gift, and an absolute must for someone who carries.

7. Ear protection

Ear protection is a must-have for any gun owner. These come in the form of earmuffs or in-the-ear style earplugs. Advanced models even come with built-in microphones that can help with hearing range commands while blocking out the harsh sounds of rounds going off. 

According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), damage to hearing occurs around the 85-decibel level. Gunfire noise accounts for a whopping 152.4-decibel level.

If you care for your gun lover, gifting some hearing protection would be the gift that keeps on giving for hearing health.

8. Gun-themed Drinking Glasses

Nothing spells RELAXATION better than having a nice drink on the rocks after an exciting day at the range. Your gun-nut would be pleased with pouring their favorite beverage in a cup, glass, or thermos that has firearm-related themes on it.

We've seen glasses that have bullets constructed into the glass in a way that it looks like a round had been shot into the glass. 

Some glasses have gun models etched into the glass with creative sayings like 'Merica and Come and Take it.

9. Anything Tactical

Most gun enthusiasts love anything tactical. Whether it's a tactical flashlight, knife, pants, or boots, you would stand high on a gun enthusiast list if you gift them something that has multiple uses with a military theme. Purchasing extra magazines as a gift for their weapons would be a super tactical move that they would appreciate. 

10. Gun-Related Apparel

Gun-related wearables are a great gift for anyone into guns. There are hats, shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies that are riddled with gun themes on the market today. We've seen some cool ones with hilarious sayings like "Sunday Gunday," or "Ban Idiots Not Guns."
