Custom Engraving for Glocks: Creating the Ultimate Gift for a Gun Enthusiast

Shopping for any hobbyist is hard. But trying to buy firearm gifts for a gun owner that they’ll actually use? Unless you know what gear they’re missing or what accessory is on their wishlist, forget it. You’ll get a warm smile and a polite “Thank you!” before it’s thrown into the back of the garage and forgotten about.

We’re not gonna let that happen. As proud gun enthusiasts ourselves, there’s one easy gift for gun enthusiasts with Glocks that they’ll always love: back plates with custom engravings. Let’s dive into the different approaches you can take with these personalized gun gifts for men who carry.

Being a gun owner is serious business. It’s a lot of responsibility.

But just because you take it seriously doesn’t mean firearms can’t be fun, and there’s no funnier gift for gun enthusiasts than a back plate engraved with something ridiculous. When your friend whips out his Glock at the range to reveal something like a Dick Butt back plate smiling back at him, he’ll absolutely lose it.

Some guys just aren’t meant to be messed with, and they’re not afraid to speak their minds about that. Your gift for this gun enthusiast needs to reflect that.

There’s no simpler back plate for them than a FAFO back plate featuring the classic snake of the Gadsden flag. Or, if they’re the kind of guy who has Action Hero written all over him, a Bad Motherf*cker back plate is a firearm gift that ensures his gun matches his aesthetic. For a back plate that turns every shot into a message, get him a middle finger back plate. 

A gift for a gun enthusiast who served carries a double meaning. On one hand, you’re giving them a back plate that represents the organization they dedicated their lives to. On the other hand, it’s a way of saying “Thank you for your service” without saying anything at all. If you’re looking for the perfect Veteran’s Day gift, this is it.

Whether they’re a Veteran or still active duty, get them a back plate with the emblem of their branch. You can find military slide back plates for almost every branch in the military, from Marine Corps back plates to US Navy back plates. They’ll be proud to represent their brothers and sisters in arms with this firearm gift.

When you’re a dad and a gun owner, you’re not just armed to protect yourself. You’re protecting your family, too.

So, when Father’s Day rolls around, the perfect gift for gun enthusiasts with kids is one that puts fatherhood on a Glock. With a Daddy Shark back plate, Dad can flex his badass shooting at the range while also keeping his gun family-friendly. That said, don’t be surprised if you hear him humming “Daddy Shark, doo doo doo…” under his breath when he lines up his next shot.
