Finding the right gift for anyone is hard. But finding the right gift for a passionate gun owner? Even harder.
Tactical gear and gun accessories like optics and barrel attachments can be cool, but that requires a lot of knowledge about both guns and the recipient of your generosity. If you don’t know what they already have in their collection, the exact model of their preferred gun, or anything about guns in general, you’re in danger of a polite “Thank you!” before your gift is left to collect dust in the back of their garage. Like with most hobbyists, gun enthusiast gift ideas often need to be hyper-specific, or they’ll just be useless.
Thankfully, we’re here to help. Let’s dive into some great gifts for gun lovers — specifically Glock owners — so you can make your recipient’s day without needing to be an expert in firearms.
1. Patriotic Flag Glock Back Plate
For the uninitiated, there’s a little plate on the back of a Glock that is replaceable. This can be replaced for not only functionality but also for something aesthetic.
If the person you’re shopping for is a patriot with a Glock, there’s no better gift for a gun lover than a flag back plate. You can find everything from the classic stars and stripes to state flags that speak to pride in their local culture. All you need to know is how they like to express their patriotism — which, if they’ve already hung a flag on their property, should be pretty easy to find out.
2. 3D Glock Back Plate
Engraved Glock back plates are cool. 3D back plates machined out of solid brass take the level of detail and character to the next level. There’s a whole swath of gun enthusiast gift ideas here, so explore everything from religious symbology to patriotic designs to engravings tailored that any red-blooded man will appreciate. No matter who your recipient is, there’s a 3D back plate for them.
3. Window Breaker Mag Plate
Looking for a gift for gun owners who prefer something more practical? Extend the base of their magazine with our Window Breaker mag base plate. We designed this for the shooters who are driving as often as they carry their Glock and need a way to shatter the tough glass of a car window in an accident. This weighted Glock magazine base plate adds extra utility to their defensive tool.
4. Brass Knuckles
Gun enthusiast gift ideas don’t need to involve guns directly. If they’re a self-described badass, find them some solid brass knuckles for sale. While these aren’t weapons, they’re a fun gift for gun owners working in an office who want something for their desk that shows they’re not someone to mess with. They can’t use them to bring down a person, but these brass knuckles are incredibly effective at holding down a pile of papers and giving people in the office an attention-grabbing incentive to keep their workday positive.
5. Aluminum Kubaton
You can never go wrong with a backup weapon for someone who prioritizes self-defense. An aluminum kubaton is that backup. This “Instrument of Attitude Adjustment” helps aggressors Find Out after they’ve started Fucking Around, and we guarantee it’s a gift for gun owners that they’ll appreciate.
6. Gun Cleaning Mat
Firearm maintenance is one of the most important parts of gun ownership. That’s why one of our favorite gun enthusiast gift ideas is a gun cleaning mat. Made of 1/4-inch vulcanized, solvent- and oil-resistant rubber, they’ll have a solid, durable surface to disassemble and clean their weapons. Plus, it comes with not only exploded diagrams of firearm parts, but also a handy-dandy targeting guide for terrorists, communists, and Nazis!
