Gun Stuff for Feeding and Maintenance

1. ETS Cam Loader

Let’s start with something that’s sure to make your shooter smile.

Just imagine how much easier it’s going to be for them to get out to the range with one of these babies. They’ll be able to scoop cartridges right out of the box and load them into the magazine 10 at a time with one quick push.

Not only does it save wear and tear on the thumbs, but it also ramps up reload time. Which, you know, is a good thing.

ETS Cam Loader
This ETS speed loader is made of durable polymer to avoid tear and wear. ETS designed this magazine loader for 9mm Luger and .40 caliber ammunition.

Another benefit to using this speed loader? These loaders help to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on magazine feed lips, thus extending magazine life.

Each ETS C.A.M. loader comes with a lifetime warranty, so if your shooter ever has an issue with it, you’ll receive a free replacement.

2. Real Avid Gun Tool Core for the AR15

Whether you’re adjusting your sights during zero or doing some maintenance.

This sweet little tool is just forty bucks in The Warehouse (which is just ₮113,583.51 in Mongolian tögrög!; you know, if you’re in the ole Mongkhe-tengri-gal stomping grounds).

Red Dot Sights: Gun Stuff for Shooting Fast and Accurate

4. Holosun HS403B

It wouldn’t be fair to make a Gifts for Gun Lovers guide if we didn’t include a red dot sight, would it? Of course your person is going to want one. Or you do. 

And don’t worry, this’ll be the priciest item on the list (but it’s worth it). 

Holosun HS403B Red Dot Sight: it's gun stuff for shooting fast and accurate.
Our first choice in Holosun optics: Holosun HS403B Red Dot Sight.

The HS403B is a micro red dot designed to be used with a rifle or carbine. It has push-button adjustments on the top for easy access, even when it’s being used with a magnifier. 

One of the cool things about this red dot is the Shake Awake feature. It activates immediately when it senses movement. When it’s not in use, it turns off, saving battery power. 

As for power, if you use the Holosun Super LED, you’ll get a battery life of up to 50,000 hours. 

The HS403B has ten daylight and two (2) night vision settings. It’s able to operate between -22° F to 140° F and has a water resistance rating of IP67, which means it’ll still work even if it’s dropped in water up to a meter deep for half an hour.

How About a Holster?

5. PHLster Floodlight—IWB or OWB

Have you heard about these light-bearing holsters? Whether you get one as a gift for a loved one, or heck, a gift for yourself, they offer some compelling advantages. 

How? 

Well, considering that weaponlight technology has advanced to the point that it’s now common to have one mounted to your EDC pistol, it can be a bit tricky to find a holster to fit your weapon.

This is where the PHLster Floodlight comes in. 

Based on the two most popular weapon lights—the Streamlight TLR-1 and the SureFire X300—this holster is designed for retention around the light instead of the firearm itself.

And that is why it’s called a universal holster. It’s compatible with most popular handguns with a TLR-1 or X300 attached. So not only can you get a good fit for your gun with a light, but you can also switch guns without a whole lot of headache (so long as it’s the same weaponlight model, of course).

There weren’t a lot of CZ Shadow 2 holster options with the x300 attached, but it fits great in the PHLster Floodlight.

9mm Glock Magazines

11. ProMag AR-15 5.56mm 40-Round Magazine w/ Roller Follower

ProMag 40 round AR15 magazine with roller follower, gifts for gun lovers
The ProMag 40 round AR15 magazine with roller follower. It’s made with what they call “Technapolymer” and an “anti-fatigue chrome silicone spring”.

You probably already know what an anti-tilt (or self-leveling) follower is, but what about the roller follower?

Promag roller follower.

Well, basically, it’s an anti-tilt follower on four wheels. With the wheels, the follower rolls up and down inside of the magazine instead of sliding. It stands to reason that there’s going to be less friction with this kind of design, and some report the ability for longer storage of loaded magazines, thanks to the follower.

GunMag customer Ricardo B. left a review about this one, saying, “this is my favorite magazine now. I can’t believe how well it works. I wish I had this on deployment.”
