Christmas shopping is hard. And expensive. Sometimes, finding the right balance between cheap, available, and thoughtful is all but impossible. That\u2019s why gun stuff (that\u2019s the technical term) is such a great option. The industry offers everything from expensive, I-never-have-to-buy-you-another-present-again firearms for the folks you like to $3 patches for everyone else.<\/p>\n

The list below includes ideas for some of the people you\u2019ll encounter at this year\u2019s Christmas Day get-together. All of this gear is on my list, too, and you might consider putting it on yours if you haven\u2019t already faxed it to the North Pole.<\/p>\n

Your Tacticool Neph-pew-pew!<\/strong><\/h1>\n

You know who I\u2019m talking about. His name is probably Curtis. Or Brent. He wears armor plates that weigh more than he does, and his EDC arsenal could end the war in the Middle East. But his heart\u2019s in the right place, so you want to get him something that\u2019ll make his little eyes sparkle like a three-year-old on Santa\u2019s knee.<\/p>\n

Magpul Bipod<\/strong><\/p>\n\"Jordan<\/a>\n

I\u2019ve had a T&E model for a few months now, and I love it (be looking for a full review soon!). Magpul\u2019s bipod lives in that perfect middle space between the cheap-o models you can buy at Walmart and the $200+ units you can\u2019t convince your wife you really need to keep the reticle on target. It\u2019s amazing no one has filled this space sooner, but this isn\u2019t the first Magpul product to fill a much-needed void in the market.<\/p>\n

The bipod is constructed from Magpul\u2019s legendary polymer and reinforced by hard anodized 6061 T-6 aluminum and stainless steel internals. At just over 11oz, this hybrid construction is lighter than more expensive products without sacrificing durability. My favorite feature is the 50\u00b0 of total tilt and 40\u00b0 of total pan, both of which are controlled by an aggressively knurled knob underneath. Users can also lock the pan at 0\u00b0 while maintaining full tilt.<\/p>\n

Magpul offers models for M-lock, 1913 picatinny, and ARMS 17S style mounting systems.<\/p>\n

CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S2 Pistol Micro w\/ Brace<\/strong><\/p>\n\"Jordan<\/a>\n

CZ released their new EVO earlier this year, and I haven\u2019t stopped drooling over it since. Chambered in 9mm, the EVO 3 S2 comes with a collapsible, telescoping SB Tactical arm brace that extends for additional stabilization. The barrel is only 4 inches long, and the collapsed length is just 16 inches, perfect for vehicle or home-defense applications.<\/p>\n

The company says this firearm is the result of a project developing a smaller, suppressed Scorpion for an undercover drug interdiction unit. This commercial model doesn\u2019t come with a suppressor, but they do include a NoOsprey faux suppressor from SilencerCo.<\/p>\n

The iron sights are low-profile, and the rear sight has four different aperture sizes for short and medium ranges. The full length picatinny rail can accommodate a variety of optics.<\/p>\n

So tell your nephew to grow that operator beard. With a Scorpion EVO 3 S2 at his side, he\u2019ll definitely be the tacticoolest dude at his Level Four Combat Carbine class.<\/p>\n

Your Lives-In-The-Woods-Possibly-A-Serial-Killer Uncle<\/strong><\/h1>\n

You\u2019ve never seen him without hunter\u2019s orange and some kind of camouflage vest, and he knows more about \u201cwound channels\u201d than makes you comfortable. But you both have buck fever this time of year, and his hunting stories are entertaining, if not strictly true.<\/p>\n

Wheeler Professional Scope Mounting Kit<\/strong><\/p>\n\"Jordan<\/a>\n

You don\u2019t get your uncle a professional scope mounting kit because he asked for it. You get your uncle this Wheeler kit because he recommends torqueing \u201cthe tar\u201d out of scope rings and then wonders why his optics keep breaking.<\/p>\n

The Wheeler Professional Scope Mounting Kit includes alignment bars, lapping bars, lapping compound, a reticle leveler, and a F.A.T. torque wrench. The lapping and alignment bars align the scope rings to ensure maximum contact between the rings and scope tube. This is important because small variations in scope rings can damage the scope body or move the scope from its zero after heavy recoil.<\/p>\n

After lapping, the reticle leveler ensures the scope\u2019s vertical crosshair is perfectly perpendicular to the bore axis. The reticle leveler included with this kit isn\u2019t perfect (as I explain here<\/a>), but it\u2019ll get the job done for a hunter\u2019s purposes. For those looking for a little more precision, Wheeler also offers a Professional Reticle Leveling System<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, the F.A.T. wrench allows users to tighten their scope rings to the proper torque weight. Follow the manufacturer\u2019s directions here, but usually, scope rings shouldn\u2019t be tightened beyond about 20 inch-pounds. I\u2019ve also found the F.A.T. wrench to be useful for a variety of other applications like torquing action screws to the proper weight.<\/p>\n

MSRP: $123.99<\/p>\n

Kimber Mountain Ascent (Subalpine)<\/strong><\/p>\n\"Jordan<\/a>\n

Under five pounds with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee? That\u2019s what I call the perfect mountain rifle. It\u2019s also what Kimber offers with their Mountain Ascent series, and my favorite camo pattern has to be the Subalpine.<\/p>\n

Like any good backpacker, Kimber shaves weight wherever it can. The stock is constructed from carbon fiber rather than polymer. The Sporter-style 22\u201d barrel is fluted, which is usually only done to heavy barrels, and the stainless-steel construction will hold up in in the wettest weather. Even the bolt handle and extractor are skeletonized. It all adds up (or down, I guess) to an ultra-light rifle perfect for any long hike in the backcountry.<\/p>\n

And that sub-MOA accuracy guarantee is more than just marketing talk. GunsAmerica\u2019s Aram Von Benedikt<\/a> took the rifle for a spin earlier this month, and his 280 Ackley test model averaged .93-inch groups with all types of ammunition tested. Kimber also offers the rifle in .308 WIN, 30-06 Spring., .300 WSM, and .300 WIN Mag.<\/p>\n

Your Crazy Liberal Mother-in-Law<\/strong><\/h1>\n

This one is tricky. Giving gun stuff to your mother-in-law will be awkward, but if you can get her interested in firearms, you can do anything. So pull up your big boy pants, brush up on your dumbed-down explanation of \u201csemi-automatic,\u201d and go out there and make a convert.<\/p>\n

David Harsanyi\u2019s First Freedom: A Ride Through America’s Enduring History with the Gun<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\"Jordan<\/a>\n

Well-researched and well-argued, David Harsanyi\u2019s book walks its readers through the history of firearms in the New World, from the pilgrims to the Patriots to the paratroopers. Harsanyi\u2019s thesis is simple but profound: guns represent a crucial part of the fabric of American culture. Guns have helped preserve our religious, economic, and cultural institutions for over two centuries, and prohibiting or restricting firearms ownership would make our country less American.<\/p>\n

Harsanyi is a journalist, not an academic, so his style is engaging and easy to read. He\u2019s clearly done his homework, and he pulls both from historians and primary sources to construct his argument.<\/p>\n

So, when your mother-in-law wonders why gun owners make such a \u201cbig deal\u201d about the Second Amendment, give her this book and see if she\u2019s as open-minded as she claims.<\/p>\n

Ruger Mark IV 22\/45 Lite<\/strong><\/p>\n\"Jordan<\/a>\n

Keep the gift receipt on this one, but if you can get your mother-in-law out to the range with a Ruger 22\/45 Lite, your work is done. Small caliber handguns are a great way to introduce someone to the Wonderful World of Firearms, and Ruger\u2019s offering is among the best.<\/p>\n

The 22\/45\u2019s weight, ergonomics, accuracy, and takedown mechanism make the firearm ideal for brand-new shooters. The handgun features a ventilated, aerospace-grade aluminum receiver, which reduces the overall weight to just 25 ounces. The polymer grips are comfortable, and the 4.4\u201d barrel and large iron sights help keep novice shooters on target. Plus, if you really want to keep things simple, you can mount a red dot on the included Picatinny rail. Takedown can be completed with the push of a button, so maintaining the handgun is simple, quick, and easy.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re hoping to convince one of your relatives to give shooting sports a try, get them a 22\/45 Lite, take them to the range, and have some fun. You never know\u2014you could find a new range buddy.<\/p>\n

Your BRB (Best Range Buddy)<\/strong><\/h1>\n

This is your dude. Your homeboy. Your brother\/sister-from-another-mother. You\u2019ve told him things at the range you haven\u2019t told your spouse. This Christmas present has to be perfect, and while you know he\u2019ll be happy with whatever you give him, here\u2019s something you know he\u2019ll be able to use.<\/p>\n

Firearms Instruction Facilities from Coast to Coast <\/strong><\/p>\n

Training! Your BRB can only buy so many guns, but he can always improve his skill with a handgun, rifle, or shotgun. Fortunately, dozens of great firearm training academies have been established around the country, and here are three of the best.<\/p>\n

Gunsite Academy<\/u><\/p>\n

This is the mecca of firearms training. Established in 1976 by Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper, Gunsite offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes for pistol, rifle, and shotgun. They also offer armorers classes and specialty classes for instructors, special situations, and concealed carry certification.<\/p>\n

Their most famous class is called the \u201c250 Pistol Class.\u201d It\u2019s an intensive, five-day course including range work, lectures, low light\/night shooting with flashlight techniques and intensive indoor and outdoor live fire simulators. I haven\u2019t taken it personally, but everyone I\u2019ve spoken with describes it as a life-changing experience.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not cheap, but for anyone who\u2019s serious about learning how to use their handgun in a self-defense situation, it\u2019s well worth the cost.<\/p>\n

Location: Paulden, AZ<\/p>\n

Cost: $1,750<\/p>\n

Universal Shooting Academy<\/u><\/p>\n

The Universal Shooting Academy offers personalized courses with small class sizes taught by US World Shoot Team members, former special operations soldiers, overseas contractors, and former and current law enforcement officers. The small class sizes allow instructors to evaluate each student on an individual basis and custom tailor the course around the student\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

They offer two categories of instruction: shooting and tactical. Their shooting program includes four levels of practice pistol courses, along with 3-gun basic training, Bianchi cup training, steel challenge handgun training, military, and law enforcement instructor training.<\/p>\n

The tactical side includes courses focusing on pistols, rifles, and shotguns designed for shooters at a variety of skill and experience levels. The tactical classes range from two to five days. They also offer specialty classes like \u201cUrban Sniper\u201d and \u201cHigh Risk Protective Service Carbine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Insights Training Center<\/u><\/p>\n

Insights Training Center offers a huge variety of courses tailored to the private sector, law enforcement, and military and government organizations. They have standard pistol and long gun classes as well as classes for pepper spray, knives, batons, ground fighting, and unarmed self-defense. They even offer wilderness survival courses and kids safety courses.<\/p>\n

Rather than multi-day training courses, many of their offerings are one-day, 8am-6pm classes. For gun owners who can\u2019t afford to drop two grand plus travel on a Gunsite class, these $450 courses might be a good option.<\/p>\n
