Father’s Day Gift Guide: Firearms, Ammo, And Gear Dad Will Actually Use

Before buying a firearm as a gift, make sure the purchase follows all federal, state, and local laws. State laws vary significantly regarding firearm purchases for the purposes of giving a gift. A firearm should only be purchased as a lawful gift for someone who can legally own it, and it should never be purchased on behalf of someone who cannot or should not buy it themselves. When in doubt, a gift card is the easier choice.

Father’s Day gifts should feel personal. If Dad would rather spend a Saturday at the range than unwrap another tie, the GrabAGun Father’s Day Sale is a better place to start.

This year’s sale includes firearms, ammunition, magazines, optics, barrels, and range-ready accessories from brands like Glock, Smith & Wesson, Beretta, Ruger, Federal, and more.

That makes this gift guide simple: choose something that fits how Dad actually shoots. The best Father’s Day gun gift is not always the biggest item in the cart. It is the one he will use, enjoy, and appreciate every time he opens the safe or range bag.

Best Father’s Day Gifts Under $50

Not every good gift needs to be a firearm. In fact, some of the easiest wins are the items shooters always need but do not always remember to buy.

Federal American Eagle 9mm 147 Grain 50-Round FMJ is a practical pick for dads who train with 9mm. Listed at $19.99, down from $27.99, you are getting each round at just $.40.

For Glock owners, magazines are hard to beat. The sale includes a Glock 19 Gen 5 15-round magazine, a Glock 17/34/45 Gen 5 17-round magazine, and a Glock 17/34 OEM 33-round magazine. Those are useful gifts because spare magazines make range days smoother and give Dad more time shooting instead of constantly reloading.

Ruger fans have good options, too. The Ruger 10/22 BX-1 10-round value 3-pack is listed at $41.99, down from $59.99, and the Ruger BX-15 .22 LR 15-round magazine is listed at $22.99, down from $32.99. For the dad who owns a 10/22, those are easy, practical additions.

Just make sure any magazine you choose fits Dad’s firearm and complies with state and local laws.

Best Gifts For The Concealed Carry Dad

If Dad carries daily or is building out a concealed carry setup, the Father’s Day Sale has a few compact handgun and accessory options worth looking at.

The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ in 30 Super Carry is one of the standout sale-page values. It’s listed at $239.99, down from $539.99, with a 3.67-inch barrel, 10-round capacity, and thumb safety. The offer also includes a $50 cash back rebate for military and first responders.

The Beretta APX A1 Carry is another compact option. It’s listed with a 3.3-inch barrel, 8-round capacity, and optics-ready slide, with a sale price of $269.99, down from $409.00. For dads who like Beretta and want a slim carry pistol, that is a gift worth comparing.

If Dad already owns the new Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0, the Bodyguard 2.0 .380 ACP 12-round magazine is a useful accessory gift – listed at $37.99, down from $59.99. The sale page also includes the Viridian RFX1 Custom Micro Green Dot for the S&W Bodyguard 2.0, listed at $199.00, down from $229.00.

For concealed carry gifts, compatibility matters. Match the magazine, optic, or holster to Dad’s exact firearm model before ordering.

Best Gifts For The Range-Day Dad

Some dads just want more range time. For them, the best gift is something that makes practice easier, more fun, or more efficient.

The Beretta APX A1 Tactical is one of the more interesting handgun picks from the first sale page. The OD Green version is listed at $479.99, down from $599.00, with a 4.8-inch barrel and 21-round capacity. The Flat Dark Earth version is listed at $469.99, also down from $599.00.

For Glock fans, a spare high-capacity magazine can turn a normal range day into a better one. The Glock Gen 5 17/19/26/34 24-round magazine is listed at $36.99, down from $49.99. The Glock 17/34 OEM 33-round magazine is listed at $39.99, down from $49.99.

The G-Force Jawbone 9mm is another currently discounted item that catches attention, especially for dads who like something different at the range. The black version is listed at $429.99, while the Battle Field Green version is listed at $399.99.

A range-day gift does not have to be complicated. Ammo, magazines, and a pistol Dad has been watching are all safe bets when you know what he already owns and likes to shoot.

Best Premium Gift Picks

For shoppers planning a bigger Father’s Day surprise, the sale page includes a few higher-end options.

The Beretta 92X Performance Carry Stainless stands out for dads who appreciate metal-frame pistols. It’s listed at $1,031.99, down from $1,299.00, with a 4.9-inch barrel, 15-round capacity, and optics-ready configuration.

The Glock 43X MOS also deserves attention for dads who want a slim, optics-ready carry pistol. This discounted G43X has a 3.41-inch barrel, 15-round capacity, and a sale price of $484.00, down from $582.00.

For larger purchases, Credova financing may help split bigger purchases into manageable payments.

When In Doubt, Get Dad A GrabAGun Gift Card

A gift card is not a fallback. For a gun owner, it can be the best choice.

Firearms, magazines, optics, and parts are personal. Fit matters. Caliber matters. Local laws matter. Dad may already know exactly what he wants, and a GrabAGun Gift Card lets him choose it. GrabAGun gift cards can be sent by email, personalized with a message, and used toward guns, ammunition, or accessories on the website. Available gift card amounts range from $25 to $3,500.

That makes a gift card especially useful when you are shopping late, unsure about compatibility, or trying not to guess between two models Dad has mentioned.

Give Dad Something He Will Actually Use

The best Father’s Day gift for a gun owner is useful, personal, and chosen with his shooting style in mind. A concealed carry dad may appreciate a compact pistol, spare magazine, or compatible optic. A range-day dad may want 9mm ammo, Glock magazines, or a full-size handgun. 

Shop the GrabAGun Father’s Day Sale to compare current firearms, ammo, magazines, optics, and accessories before the deals change. Inventory moves quickly, so the right time to grab the right gift is when you see it.
