Who is the Mosin-portant person in your life?
If you’re looking for a gun-obsessed significant other…we have an article for that (Best Gifts for Gun Lovers).
But how about something for yourself?
Something that is a little more gun oriented? And ever so slightly Valentine’s related.
Get ready for some terrible puns too.
Best AR-15 Muzzle Brake
Want to get back on target faster after each shot? We hands-on tested a bunch of AR-15 muzzle brakes and crown our winner…

It had the least recoil and super minimal reticle movement. Check it out in our video testing of side blast, decibel readings, and reticle movement.
The M4-72 Severe Duty is our overall winner but we also have picks for brake/compensator hybrid, most high-tech brake, and best bang-for-the-buck in our Best AR-15 Muzzle Brakes Article.
Best Electronic Ear Protection
Want to be able to hear your significant other when you go to the range?
You’ll want some electronic ear pro that cuts out the loud shooting sounds but amplifies regular speaking tones.
Our favorite is the Howard Leight Impact Sport since it’s pretty comfy, effective, and affordable.

Best AR500 Shooting Targets
Another fun thing to pick up to have fun at the range.
Nothing is more satisfying than hearing that steel *PING* when your round hits an AR500 target.
There’s tons of manufacturers out there but our favorite is Shoot Steel.
Here is our hands-on review of them.
But that’s not why we’re here. This is some of their cool stuff…

Best AR-15 Pistol
These short-barreled AR pistols are tons of fun.
Our favorite entry-level one that has always gone bang for us is PSA’s 10.5 inch.

We’d suggest going with the 10.5″ over the 7.5″ since it’s a lot more manageable in terms of recoil and loudness.

Want a little more variety in your (AR-15) life?

Best Gun Safes
We go super in-depth into these in our Best Gun Safes article…but here’s a few of our favorites.
Our best handgun safe goes to the Fort Knox FTK-PB Simplex Handgun Safe that’s super beefy, holds a good amount, and has a simple “Simplex” lock that you can easily unlock in the dark.
Our overall favorite pick in Best Handgun Safes.
How about something more techy?
Our favorite biometric safe is the QAP1BE from SentrySafe.
