Each new year brings new gadgets and gizmos to make your gun ownership more fun, safer and more accurate. Sure, new guns and ammo are those shiny new items that everyone loves to purchase, but sometimes, it’s the little stuff that makes the biggest difference. Whether you’ve got $30 or a couple hundred dollars burning a hole in your pocket, here are a few of the great new accessories you can add to your arsenal of cool and useful “gun guy” tools.
Crossbreed Reckoning
Introduced at the tail end of 2018 but rolled out to big fanfare at SHOT 2019, Crossbreed’s Reckoning is a versatile IWB and AIWB Kydex-leather hybrid with a wide variety of adjustments in both retention and ride. With right- or left-draw options, the Reckoning is available in a multitude of gun makes and models, including several discounted frames. MSRP: $69.95
Triumph System Threat Down Bleeding Targets
Founded by former Navy SEAL and Ultimate Survival star Jared Ogden, Triumph Systems offers its Threat Down Bleeding Targets, which bleed blue and red with a good bullet hit to vital organs—blue for lungs and red for heart and brain. Environmentally friendly and biodegradable gel paint is contained inside individual cells that open on impact, offering instant feedback. These targets are available in four character configurations. MSRP: $15.50 (individual target); $43.99 (three-pack)
Vortex Razor HD II
For the serious hunter or long-range shooter, Vortex introduced the Razor HD II, the latest in its powerful Razor line. With a hard-anodized “Stealth” finish and three reticle options, the Razor HD II makes spotting and shooting easier and more accurate. Keep the sites locked in with locking turrets, integrated L-Tec zero stop and first focal plane reticles for quick shots at any magnification. MSRP: $2,499 for 3-18×50 FFP; $2,899 for 4.5-27×56 FFP
Crimson Trace LG-422 Laserguard Red Laser Sight For Sig Sauer P365
Whenever a new gun hits the market, the first question in every potential customer’s mind is, Can I get accessories for it? This was the case when the new Sig P365 came out in 2018. One criticism of the Sig was its proprietary accessory rail that wouldn’t fit most off-the-shelf lasers. Crimson Trace smartly addressed this with the introduction of the LG-422 Laserguard Red Laser Sight, specifically designed for the Sig’s unique mounting system. MSRP: $229 (red); $309 (green)
Caldwell Brass Catcher
Hate picking up brass? Well, how about never having to? The Caldwell Brass Catcher attaches directly to the ejection port of your AR or other rifle with an adjustable hook-and-loop strap that holds the catcher tight while not interfering with the mechanism of your gun. The mesh pouch holds approximately 30 spent cartridges and zips open at the bottom for easy emptying into the collection bin of your choice. MSRP: $12.99
Steiner's Bluhorizons Series
Steiner’s BluHorizons Series comprises sunlight-adaptive binoculars for all light conditions. Exclusive Autobright Sunlight adaptive lens technology automatically adjusts brightness in any lighting situation by gathering the right amount of light and reducing glare for optimum viewing. Two models are offered: the 8.8-ounce 8×22 and 10.6-ounce 10×26. Both feature Steiner’s Fast-Close-Focus system to provide clear vision quickly and easily. MSRP: Starts at $219.99

Walker's Silencer Bluetooth Earbuds
Every shooter needs good ear protection. Walker has long been known as an industry leader, pioneering technologies in both over-the-ear and earbud active noise-cancelling. The new Silencer Bluetooth Rechargeable Earbuds offer a new level of user control—including monitoring battery levels, adjusting volume and changing auto shutoff time from your phone. Three fit shapes are included for maximum comfort. MSRP: $299.99
CMC AR-15 Tactical Trigger Group
One of the first things serious AR owners upgrade on their new setup is the trigger. Factory triggers are usually reliable, but they are also usually mediocre when it comes to pull weight and action. One new option in the drop-in trigger world is the CMC AR-15 Tactical Trigger Group, available in 2-, 3.5-, 4-, 5- or 6-pound pull weights. The curved-faced, single-stage trigger offers a great alternative to the typical factory trigger at a reasonable cost for an upgrade. MSRP: Starts at $167.95
Real Avid AR-15 Armorer's Master Kit
Whether you build ARs or need to change a few things on the one you already own, the Real Avid AR-15 Armorer’s Master Kit provides the tools you need to build, fix or upgrade with confidence. The kit includes more than 20 heavy-duty tools and step-by-step instructions. Everything is housed in a sturdy, portable case for those times you take your AR-fixing show on the road or for keeping the kit items tucked away in your work area. MSRP: $249.99
XS Sights F8 Night Sights
You can’t shoot straight if you can’t tell where you’re aiming—day or night. XS Sights has introduced the F8 Night Sights for use in both bright, sunshiny conditions and the dark of night. Instead of the traditional 3-dot system, the F8 Night Sights use a stacked, 2-dot lineup for faster alignment on target. According to XS, the front sight is equipped with a patent-pending glow dot that absorbs light and glows in low-light levels before tritium becomes visible. The F8 Night Sights are available for a variety of semi-autos. MSRP: $142
Maglula Steyr AUG 5.56/.223 Striplula Magazine Loader
From the company that revolutionized pistol magazine loading (and saved us all a lot of thumb pain) comes the STEYR AUG 5.56/.223 StripLULA 10-Round Magazine Loader—the AR version of the venerable Uplula. Load 10 rounds at a time into Steyr mags using the tough polymer frame to guide cartridges smoothly in. Unfortunately, this only works on Steyr-brand magazines. MSRP: $24.95
CMMG Receiver Extension And Brace Kit, Ripbrace, Micro/CQB
CMMG has expanded its line of “Rip” products with the quick-deploy RipBrace pistol brace for your AR pistol. Available as either an add-on or as part of a CMMG AR pistol, the RipBrace extends without a need to depress any buttons or latches to engage the telescoping motion. The brace locks into place once opened and does require a latch release to close. However, deployment is lighting quick and gets the gun into the fight faster. MSRP: $199.95
Tango Down BG-AKOE Battlegrip
AKs often come with truly uncomfortable grips. How do you soften up the grip a bit without compromising the famous style of the world’s most popular rifle? Add a Tango Down BG-AKOE Battlegrip. Its comfortable, ergonomic shape fits all popular AK models. The grip can be easily installed; all the necessary mounting hardware is included. MSRP: $18.95
Rite In The Rain Blaze Orange Belt-Clip Pen
We train in the rain and other sloppy conditions. The special ink in the Rite in the Rain Blaze Orange Belt-Clip Pen writes in a multitude of conditions— including rain, snow and extreme cold (down to -30 degrees [F]). The bright-orange color makes it easy to find in the bottom of your range bag, while the convenient belt clip keeps the refillable pen handy for marking targets or recording progress in your field notes book. MSRP: $12.95 (per pair)
Revision Pursuer Eyewear
For the outdoor enthusiast who wants a pair of sunglasses with all the ruggedness you need for the hazards of hunting, mountain climbing and shooting, consider the Revision Pursuer. There are large lenses for optimal view and sun blockage, as well as specialized tinting that lets in “just the right amount of light for less pupil dilation and reduced eye strain while glassing.” Each kit includes Pursuer eyewear, custom retention strap, microfiber-lined pouch, Pro Bag and a guaranteed lifetime warranty. MSRP: $279
Caldwell Deadshot Shooting Bag Combo
Whether you’re setting up for that ultimate long-range shot or sighting in your new optic, stabilize your rifle with the Caldwell Deadshot Shooting Bag Combo. The front bag is one of the industry’s largest (8 pounds), offering your barrel superior stability. The small rear bag accepts a wide range of rifle stocks. The two bags clip together for easy carrying. MSRP: $26.99
Daltech Force Bull Hide Leather Belt
Don’t waste a good holster on a bad belt. Instead, pick up a dedicated CCW gun belt such as the Daltech Force Bull Hide Leather Belt. Available in black or brown to match any look, both dressy and casual, this top-quality, 1.5-inch-high belt offers the support you need for even the heaviest concealed guns. This belt is handcrafted in the USA and comes with a lifetime guarantee. MSRP: $42.99
Magnetospeed Sporter Barrel Mounted Ballistic Chronograph
Ever wonder how fast the bullets really fly out of the end of your rifle? Rather than lug around a big, complicated chronograph—with its multiple pieces and bulky stand—grab a lightweight, compact MagnetoSpeed Sporter Barrel Mounted Ballistic Chronograph. It attaches directly under your rifle barrel to measure the exit speed of any caliber and weight. MSRP: $179
Breakthrough Clean Technologies Copper Remover
Need to clean out copper fouling but hate the foul stench of copper cleaners? Breakthrough Clean Technologies Copper Remover is virtually odorless and is formulated from biodegradable ingredients that easily remove copper fouling and buildup without the usual stink. According to the company, this new cleaner is safe for all types of bore steel and won’t harm the barrel. MSRP: $16.95
