Let’s be honest—one of the best parts of owning firearms is the gear. The accessories, the setups, the endless tinkering—it’s all part of the fun. Seriously, you can’t have one without the other. It usually starts innocently enough: your first firearm purchase, a box of ammo, a tiny cleaning kit, ear protection, and eye protection. Congratulations, you’ve just created your Baseline Ownership Kit™. It’s enough to make your gun go bang while keeping you safe and comfortable.
Then you hit the range (or the woods, or your backyard if you’re lucky enough to live in God’s country). You fire a few rounds, feel the rush, and just like that—you’re hooked. Welcome, my friend, to the rabbit hole of accessories.
Before you know it, you’re upgrading everything. Your cleaning kit isn’t cutting it anymore. Those foam earplugs? They’re dead to you. And don’t even get me started on shooting glasses. This is how it begins—one upgrade leads to another, and suddenly you’re knee-deep in ammo totes, holsters, slings, targets, magazines, and more. It’s a beautiful, never-ending journey, and I’m here for it.
So, in the spirit of enabling your newfound addiction, here’s my ever-evolving Top 10 Must-Have Gun Accessories. It’s my list—it doesn’t have to be yours. Disagree? That’s fine, you do you. But for those who want some tips, here’s what I recommend (links included because I’m generous like that).
1. Walker’s Razor Freedom Slim Electronic Earmuff
Once you try sound-amplifying ear protection, there’s no going back to those cheap foam plugs. These let you hear everything you need to while protecting your ears from the big booms. Plus, they look cool.
2. Caldwell Pro Range Glasses
Don’t let the low price fool you—these glasses are the real deal. I’m picky about eyewear because I’m rough on it. These protect your eyes without crushing your wallet, and their slim design won’t bother your ears when paired with earmuffs. Win-win.
3. Bulldog Black Range Bag
I own multiple Bulldog bags, and they’re all rock-solid. From range bags to rifle cases, these take a beating and don’t cost a fortune. Trust me, you’ll want one.
4. A Real Cleaning Kit
Upgrade your cleaning game ASAP. Forget metal rods and grocery-store cotton swabs. I like Otis kits, but there are plenty of great brands. Treat your firearm right—it’ll thank you with better performance.
5. Armorers Wrench
Don’t overthink this—just get one. Specifically, this one. It’s a game-changer for all those little adjustments and fixes you didn’t know you needed to make.
6. Gun Workstation
Real Avid is killing it with gun vices and workstations. Sure, you could lean your gun against a tree or lay it flat, but investing in a proper station makes life so much easier. You’ll thank me later.
7. Range Case
Refer back to #3 and buy a Bulldog range case. No regrets, folks.
8. Mag Loader
If I could go back in time and hand my younger self a mag loader, I would. Your thumbs will never forgive you for loading mags the old-fashioned way, but this nifty tool makes it quick and painless.
9. Streamlight TLR-2
Adding a light to your firearm is a game-changer. I’ve always been partial to Streamlight—they’re reliable and built to last. Every gun in my collection has one, and we include them on our custom builds.
10. Red Dot Sight
For first-time owners, I say hold off. Learn to shoot with iron sights first—it’s a rite of passage. Once you’ve got that down, graduate to a red dot or optic and keep honing your skills. Baby steps, my friend.
I hope this guide helps you navigate the wonderful (and slightly addictive) world of gun accessories. Remember, the gear is fun, but nothing beats practice, range time, and discipline. Stay sharp, stay accurate, and know that Tactical Aim has your back.
