Shopping for a shooting enthusiast is a bit like shopping for a wizard, you know they've got all sorts of mysterious gear, but you're never entirely sure what any of it does. Luckily, you don't need to understand the ballistic coefficient of a .308 round to pick out a great gift. Whether your favorite marksman spends weekends punching paper, ringing steel, or just rearranging gear in their range bag for fun (don't worry, they all do it), certain essentials always hit the mark.

When it comes to everyday carry, most people obsess over knives, flashlights & multitools, yet somehow overlook the one item that can slip past metal detectors, write grocery lists & stop a bad day from getting worse. Yes, we're talking about tactical pens: the modest-looking tools that blend self-defense practicality with the subtle charm of "I'm prepared, but I'm not trying too hard." A good tactical pen won't just sit quietly in your pocket, it'll become that reliable sidekick you forget about until the moment you absolutely need it.

Tactical gear isn't just for soldiers, survivalists, or that one guy at the office who insists on wearing cargo pants every day, it's for anyone who wants to be a little more prepared without hauling around a full-sized toolbox. Practical tactical gadgets are the pocket-friendly, everyday-carry versions of lifesaving tools: compact, efficient & built to handle everything from minor inconveniences to "well… this escalated quickly" situations.

The AR in AR 15 stands for Armalite, but it might as well stand for America's Rifle. Now, what happens when you shrink America's rifle? Shorten the barrel, and remove the stock? Well, then, legally, it becomes a pistol. AR pistols are short and sweet guns that are perfect for home defense, as truck guns, and to scratch that shorter than average AR itch.

Good morning, everyone, this is John with gun.deals, today we're going to be taking a look at something that is very interesting, conceptually, this is the Foxtrot Mike Gen 2 AR-15 upper receivers. These use a captured recoil system entirely inside of the upper receiver so you actually don't need the buffer tube on an AR-15 at all.

The 5.7x28 has gained a huge following and just continues to grow as more find out about it, its accuracy, the ballistics, the ammo weight, and little to know, recoil. The ballistics from this little round are nothing less than impressive. Ammo cost was a serious issue, but it still is, the prices are coming down and availability is growing, there is now at least six different companies that are making it with over a dozen different loads from them.

A firearm suitable for women is a fast-growing segment of the firearm market. Women are valuable consumers significantly contributing to the industry. Ladies are carrying a gun for various reasons nowadays. It might be a recreational, or competitive pursuit, while the most often reason is self-defense. Being a woman doesn’t mean that you can’t run a gun as a male can. However, there might be some choices that are more suitable considering your physique and the size of your hand, as well as your preferences.

Most of you are familiar with Ruger as are most of you familiar with Magpul. Are you familiar with Ruger's new RXM, which is a Ruger upper, slide, and the parts, and a Magpul lower? You heard me right, this is a joint venture between Ruger and Magpul. What exactly is the Ruger RXM? That's what you're here to find out. You're going to want to check this out.

Good morning, everyone, this is John with gun.deals. Today we are going to be talking about an old Marky Mark and the scene of Bunch. What we have here is a Larue Stealth receiver set and a Larue Predat AR barrel. Their BCG and, a couple other, making one of the stranger yet more pleasant builds I've gotten the chance to shoot of late.

Good morning, everyone, this is John with gun.deals. Today we're talking about the L3 Atpial-C, the civilian legal version of the PEQ 15 and the Villain Weapon Systems Diffuser. The civilian/gray market/fell of the truck and route is a very confusing and treacherous place. Imagine, if you will, a place where $4,000 will get you everything you've ever wanted, $2,000 will get you nothing, and $1,000 will get you halfway there somehow.

A lot of you are interested in SHTF guns or Zombie Apocalypse or Apocalypse or Government Collapse, and so then there is always to debate AR versus AK. AK is an iconic gun, probably one of the most, if not the most iconic gun in the history of guns. My big thing is: What is the best AK that we can get at the most affordable cost? Is this one going to meet that criteria? There is only one way to find out.

Let's start you off with a bang! Like I said, there's going to be a ton of videos out there that show people banging on the steel up close, but are they doing this? Ruger had home runs with their 10-22s, one of the most iconic, if not the most iconic 22 out there, in my opinion, their PC carbines and now the LC carbines.

Hey, guys, welcome back! Not long ago I did a review for BCA, Bear Creek Arsenal, on their Hunt Master 30-06, and it was a lot of fun, I had a great time doing a review on that, lot of people were interested, got a lot of interest. There was also a lot of comments about “Yeah, that's too close to a 308”. What I would really like to see is a 300 Win Mag AR, oh, yeah! BCA has their Hunt Master in the 300 Win Mag, I am excited to say the least to review this and Hornady provided the ammo for this, so we should maximize accuracy.

How many of you have wanted a tactical shotgun, and how many of you have seen Benelli's M4 Tactical shotgun and drooled over it until you saw the price tag? Some of you've heard that there's no such thing as AAC stupid question, but there are. What if you could get an M4 clone for one sixth the cost? Would that have your attention? The next question most of you are going to ask us is “What kind of quality can we get for that price?” You get what you pay for is what many will say, right? That's a good question.

So, you're interested in PSA's Micro Dagger, are you? You came to the right review, guys, this is going to be the best, the most comprehensive review of PSA's Micro Dagger. Why? Because back here at the CQB range, we're going to test it with the iron sights, we're going to test it with a red dot, but the big thing is we're going to put it through its paces with some ammo. I'm going to try a ton of different ammo, different rounds, different distances, we'll put a red dot on and we will see what we can get for accuracy, and what round it likes.

Would you be interested in an AK in 5.56 where you could hit the steel with a red dot with no magnification up there at 500 yards? If you would be then you're interested in PSA's AK 101. Let's check it out!

You all have heard that there's no such thing as a stupid question, right? Wrong! Here's a perfect example of a stupid question: How many of you like guns at insane crazy stupid prices? Right? I'm going to get to it in a bit, I've got an email called crazy stupid deals, but, anyway I find crazy stupid deals, and something that I kept finding and seeing over and over and over was a little tiny conceal carry 9mm, it looked great at a crazy stupid price and I had to try it.

Good morning, everyone, this is John with gun.deals, today we are going to be taking a look at one of the higher end uppers on the market, this is the LMT MRP/L Specwar 12.5-inch.

Hey, guys, welcome back! I know a lot of you are interested in Bear Creek Arsenal, BCA. One of the biggest reasons is affordability, and they do offer a lot of calibers, unique calibers, I've got the 300 Win Mag AR coming, I can't wait to try that out, the .30-06, that was way cool too. Anyway, they just recently released their first ever pistol, the Grizzly.

Hey, guys, welcome back! The market is literally flooded with 9mm PC, pistol carbines, or PCCs, pistol caliber carbines. Most of you are familiar with some of the rifle ones like Ruger's PC Charger, and then all the AR versions. The question is: Is there anything new under the Sun? POF is kind of known for making some unique stuff, I reviewed a 9mm lever action not too long ago, the Tombstone, and that was a lot of fun that led me to the Phoenix.

How many of you guys like stupid questions? How would you like to find guns at crazy stupid prices, the best bang for buck? I have been doing almost like a series on guns that I've been finding at just crazy stupid prices, I found an AR-15 for $299, a 9mm, a decent 9mm for $149. Anyway, I love best bang for buck, right?

If you follow my channel you know I love red dots and I review any and all, I get my hands on and I'm just always on the quest for the best bang for your buck, and that means quality at a great price. You also know I like certain features, and I also want it tough and I'm going to torture test it.
