10 Stocking Stuffers for the Gun Lover Under $25

Image
1. T-Shirts! My favorite t-shirts are from Grunt Style . They are very well priced, ranging from $12.95 - $25. They're not cheesy and not overly vulgar, so they make a great gift for anyone. I have placed about 5 large orders with them in the last 6 months, the t-shirts are very high quality and show no signs of shrinking or wear. They also generally ship within 24 hours, although it might fluctuate due to Christmas. These are my top picks: 2. Hyve Technologies Gear! If you've seen our Instagram or Facebook, you probably already know that we are huge fans of Hyve Technologies . They made accessories for the Glock 42, 43, 26, 27, 33, 23, and 32. As well as the Smith & Wesson Shield 9/.40. They function flawlessly and look great. Here is a picture of my  Hyve gear:   My top picks are:   3. Gun Oil! Gun oil or lubes and cleaning kits are something everyone can use. Even if the gift-receiver already has some items, they'll always

Smith & Wesson Shield with Hyve +2 Mag Extension

Image
Last week I received my +2 Shield 9mm Magazine Extension from Hyve Technologies. Apparently my color choice... let's just say it's not the popular choice among reddit critics-or anyone at Dara Holsters, really anyone who's seen it, but I love it anyways. So here she is: You don't even have to say anything, I know- she's beautiful. The +2 Extension fits on the 9mm 8 round magazine and allows me to carry 10 +1 and still maintain the slim profile of the Smith & Wesson Shield. I realize that the grip is a troublesome area for most people, as the grip is generally the area of the gun that prints the most- however, if you have a great holster that allows you to carry in the most concealed way possible, it shouldn't be an issue. Also of note: there are other color options available. You can choose the extension color and the mag stop color, possibilities are endless! Here is a picture showing the size in relation to my hand: keep

How to Carry an Appendix Holster Successfully

Image
Appendix Carry is becoming increasingly popular. Five years ago, it seems that the carry position was frowned upon and discouraged, carrying the stigma of shooting your junk off should your trigger finger slip up. However, with practice and training you can become confident enough with your draw stroke and brave the appendix carry waters, as long as you have a great AIWB Holster. There are so many options for Appendix Holsters now a days, it's hard to choose which option is best for you. I highly suggest going to your local gun shop to ask if you can try on different holsters, just so you can determine which style/material you'll like. That will help narrow down your search. Most shops will at least have plastic, leather and nylon holsters. Depending on what your day to day activities are, you may need more retention than what a leather or nylon holster can offer you. If you're a cable guy, or work in construction where bending and moving around is somet
