1. XS Sight Systems Armorer’s Block for AR Platforms

Accommodating most AR-pattern rifles, the Armorer’s Block securely holds the upper assembly in a bench-mounted vise, allowing you to assemble, maintain or modify your rifle. It will fit the AR-15, AR-10, SR25 and DPMS GII. MSRP: $75; xssights.com

2. Armageddon Gear Suppressor Mirage Cover
Rifle barrels get hot, and so do suppressors. Prevent heat dissipation from interfering with your sight picture with a cover designed to fit snugly over your sound suppressor. MSRP: $69.95 armageddongear.com

3. Wright Leather Works Bull Hide Gun Belt
If you are looking for the perfect companion for your new holster, check out the Bull Hide Gun Belt. Made from genuine bull hide, this 1.5-inch-wide belt comes in three color options and has a removable buckle should you wish to attach your own. MSRP: $58 wrightleatherworks.com

4. Smith Enterprise Strap-On Cheek Pad
Felt-like, waterproof padding with an overlaid PVC shell cushions recoil and minimizes vibration when firing large-caliber rifles that may lack a cheek rest or raised comb. MSRP: $59.99; brownells.com

5. VZ Grips 320s
VZ’s 320 grips for Smith & Wesson J-frame revolvers are smooth, yet unpolished, leaving just enough surface texture for good purchase. Additionally, this displays the contrasting layers of G10 to best advantage. MSRP: $75; vzgrips.com

6. U.S. Tool and Design Manual Bolt Extraction Device
Specific problems with your rifle require specific tools. This device is engineered to free stuck AR-15 bolts, fitting precisely around the bolt itself and angled to provide direct access to the bolt-carrier group. MSRP: $35 ustoolanddesign.com

7. CRKT Tao Pen 2
Crafted from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, this tactical pen is sturdy enough to pack a surprising punch. The cap doesn’t need to be unscrewed, so you can actually use it as a pen—even upside down. MSRP: $69.99; crkt.com

8. RE Factor Tactical Operator Band
Chock-full of survival items, this paracord bracelet contains additional essentials such as 30 feet of fishing line, 18 inches of leader wire, a fish hook, can opener and cuff key. MSRP:$54.95 refactortactical.com
