Firearms are highly customizable collectibles. You can change your gun to improve its performance, or you can add something to it that makes it more unique and reflective of your identity. There is also a wealth of supplies and materials beyond your gun itself that are quite useful. The possibilities are virtually unlimited, but here are a few of the best and most unique gun accessories you can find out there to trick out your stuff.
Striker Control for Glocks
This useful add-on consists of a hinge that can replace the standard slide backplate found on Glock pistols. As ubiquitous as Glocks are, they still are not made with a thumb safety, which can lead to dangerous complications. That’s why this striker control plate comes in handy; with the striker effectively blocked from completing its full range of motion, accidentally firing your weapon is a lot less likely to happen. This striker control can make your Glock all the more safe and useful.
Advanced Optics
The technology behind night vision scopes has existed for roughly half a century, but recent improvements have brought this tech to a new level. Nowadays, night vision scopes provide high definition quality (including the ability to record at high resolution, WiFi, and even bluetooth). Tactical gun retailers and websites often have a broad range of optics to choose from for your needs, tastes, and excitement.
Pistol Magnets
The importance of being able to securely position your pistol, whether on your person or in your home, cannot be understated. There are magnets you can set up that will attach securely to your weapon so that you don’t have to worry about the gun ending up somewhere you don’t want it to.
Place it somewhere easily accessible to you, whether in a personal workshop, a compartment in your closet, or somewhere you know where it is. Keep in mind that if you can remove the pistol from its mount easily, others can too. If you are living with family or other people, keep storage at the forefront of your mind when it comes to your gun.
Lubricants
Artificial lubricants have come a long way. They can ensure fluidity while resisting greater amounts of heat that come with firearm discharging. The long-lasting effects of this product help your gun’s parts move smoothly even after the heat generated from using your weapon burns off most of the actual lubricant. If you regularly use your weapon at a gun range or while hunting, it’s generally a good rule of thumb to oil-up your gun every few weeks or so to keep it well-lubricated for your use.
Safes
A safe is an indispensable tool when it comes to keeping your weapon safe and secure at home. While safes used to invoke combination locks or keys, many safe models these days have biometric components to their locks, which is incredibly useful when you have children at home. Some models are tailored specifically to handguns; they fit into relatively confined spaces like drawers and provide rapid access to your firearms.
Just as with pistol magnets, it’s a very good idea to keep in mind who you are living with when it comes to keeping a gun safe around. Keep it within your reach, as well as the reach of other responsible adults. Above all, keep your gun safe out of reach of young children, pets, and any other person not capable of handling a gun safely.
It’s a good idea to be reasonably familiar with the technology and use behind whatever firearm accessories you end up purchasing. You don’t want the moment you begin learning about how to handle these items to be when they arrive at your doorstep. Whatever you choose, take care of it and your firearm.
