What are some cheap gun related items that pleasantly surprised you?

What are some relatively cheap or lower priced items that pleasantly surprised you?

For me it's the Taurus G3C. nice little gun for $230.

Magpul Glock mags. Tough to beat for about $11.

Warne mounts also a good bang for the buck.

Kind of applicable to Holosun optics, 507c, 407c, 510c, all work really well for me, but then again I expected them to based on reviews and trying them out on other people's guns.

Probably the Taurus tx22, I’m not a Taurus fan but I’ll be damned if it is isn’t the most reliable 22 I have.

Lee loadmasters and lee collet dies

Lee loadmasters and lee collet dies

most of my pistol die sets are LEE, also like the hand held press.

Lots of gimmicky firearm stuff out there but one item comes to mind that I actually like are Diamond speedsights for pistols.

The sight is physically a little larger than other pistol sights and the top of the sight is Diamond shaped and my eye picks them up faster than traditional sights.

I believe they use more tritium in the tubes because they are very bright compared to others.

They work for me. They are a small company and you can only buy them direct they don’t sell to retailers.

Old hand-tooled Denver Heiser holsters on eBay.

The quality and craftsmanship to replicate today would cost a fortune. And the fit on an old Colt or Smith is out of this world.

Found a Hunter brand leather holster on the bargain table at JoeBobs the other day.
Original marked price $100, bargain price $24.99.
Made for a Springfield XD 45 but fits my Glock 19 perfectly.
It's this one...

PSA drop in 3.5 lb trigger . I’ll be fucked raw if it ain’t doom then and consistent with a very short reset . On sale at times as low as $69 .
A combat piece of gear ; idk but it’s a damn sight better than any trigger on any long gun ever issued me- for what that’s worth

UpLULA mag loaders (although the price seems to have increased a bit lately, but still not expensive). Thumbs rejoice!

I have one as well. Eats anything and easy to turn ammo into casings in a quick hurry

 

[jrassy]

Putting a dab of red fingernail polish on the front sight of my S&W model 10 is the cheapest trick I ever used that brought my focus back and improved my shooting of a handgun, after that it’s dry fire practice. And after that I just buy shit if I need it.

most of my pistol die sets are LEE, also like the hand held press.

If you NEED a roll crimp or rifle crimp die the LEE are the best out there IMO.

Had issues with buckled .38/.357 cases with a Dillon crimp die, the LEE was flawless. Who the F trims revolver brass...

Little paint can opener for getting stuck(ish) cases out of an ar chamber.

A whole bunch of people. The Lee collet crimp dies for revolver cartridges are nice.

^^^ This. Have the TX22 and the GX4 has proven to be a great little tackle box gun.

It's amazing how versatile a cheap laser pointer is for getting your shots on the paper before live rounds. Works great for crossbows too.

 

[kmdn_crew]

This is actually a pretty cool thread idea.

- The Vortex Diamondback Tactical actually really surprised me. I was not expecting much but I actually really like the scope. Bought one originally for my .223 and now one lives also on a 10/22.

- Magpul Hunter is actually a pretty awesome stock for the price.

Joebob grip screw. And the lighter springs. A little polish and these make a shitty AR trigger feel much better

A Wilcox Raptar-S LRF with Applied Ballistics and provides a Disturbed Reticle through the lens to the shooter, coupled with an equally cheap Trijicon UTC-Xii thermal clipon are probably the best bang-for-the-buck add-ons anyone can make to their Poverty Pony.

I just sold that set super-cheap in the PX a week or two ago.
