On Target: The Perfect Guide To Gifting Your Favorite Firearm-Loving Friends And Family



Christmas is, without a doubt, the time to pull out the big gun gifts — especially when buying for the Second Amendment lovers in your life. Whether you need help scoping out the best presents for your firearm-loving friends and family or you are ready to pull the trigger on a purchase for yourself, you’re in luck. Get the most bang for your buck with these nine handpicked suggestions.

Ol’ Reliable

Starting off strong, we have Sig P365 — SIG Sauer’s hottest carry gun of all time.

There are many different variations of this reliable recommendation, but the P365 X Macro Comp reigns the best in my book. The pistol is sleek, thin, and holds a full-size 17+1 round capacity. The built-in compensator also reduces recoil by about 10 percent.

Holsters For All

Need a safe and secure place to store your gun while on the go? G-Code allows you to custom-order holsters for every carrying occasion.

Whether you prefer something more concealed inside a waistband or want to show your stuff with an outside sheath, G-Code’s wide range of affordable options will ensure a snug fit for anyone and their carry choice. For your fancier Second Amendment-loving friends and family, G-Code holsters can also be modified to fit various light or optic combinations on dozens of different pistol models.

In Plain Sight

Need something to pair with that X Macro Comp recommended earlier? Check out the Holosun 407k. This open reflex optical sight won’t break the bank and adds a nice addition to most subcompact firearm footprints. Options in both red and green dots are available.

Rifle Rec

Whether you’re into hunting hogs or protecting yourself against tyranny, the legendary FN Scar 17S is the perfect powerful rifle for you and yours. It’s got an ambidextrous safety lever and magazine release, shoots 7.62x51mm, and includes a number of accessory rails that will fit your favorite sight or light.

FN officially discontinued this rifle from the civilian market as of October 2025, so the remaining stock is all that is left to snag.

Hot and New Home Defense

On the hunt for a home defense gun? Look no further than the Glock 17 V. Not only is it brand new to the market from the most well-known firearm company on the planet, but this 9mm pistol boasts “maximum control and comfort in a duty-grade platform” and three 17-round magazines.

Med Bag

If you are buying tools that poke holes in things, you should also have the supplies to fill them. The Everlit Advanced Trauma Kit from Krate Tactical, “field tested by veterans,” is a great start to your combat treatment supply stash. It includes a variety of bandages, a splint, a tourniquet, trauma shears, and more first aid gear designed to assist with bleeding, bone fractures, and wounds.

Carrying Case

Your resident gun guy may have all the firearms he needs, but does he have a good way to transport them? Check out these Condition 1 hard exterior, waterproof pistol cases. Not only do they have options to store up to 18 pistols in one place, but they also come with a lifetime warranty and are TSA-approved.

Bringing A Knife To A Gunfight?

Slice into this holiday season and the world of high-quality knives with the new Benchmade Bailout featuring CPM S90V steel. With a lifetime warranty, customization, and price options for all different budgets, Benchmade Knives, like this beauty of a pocket knife, land at the top of my recommendations each and every year.

For The Ladies

Guns are the great equalizer, but far too few women have found a comfortable way to carry. Change that this Christmas by gifiting your favorite females their choice of a Bulldog concealed carry purse. Stylish options such as these satchelschic crossbodies, and shoulder bags equipped with “color matched holsters” embolden women to prioritize safety without sacrificing their feminine flair.
