Your local gun show is a great place to find the top gun accessories to help you shoot better and enjoy shooting more. From handgun accessories for better concealed carry to gun parts that help improve your accuracy or add more firepower, our vendors have something for every gun owner. Sometimes, the most challenging part of gun show weekend is deciding what to spend your budget on. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular gun accessories you’ll find at a Midwest Arms Collector Gun Show and how they can improve your shooting experience.
The top gun accessories and gun parts have earned their way into the customized firearms and shooting kits of so many gun owners because of their usefulness. Whether you’re a hunter, serve and protect, or want to be prepared to defend yourself, the ability to make sure you have a gun and the accessories you need to use it better is important. It’s what helps you make every shot count, and it can introduce a whole new level of enjoyment and proficiency to your shooting.
Gun show vendors travel from across the country to visit our gun shows and offer great deals to attendees. You’ll find retailers of both new and used guns, the top gun accessory manufacturers, parts dealers, and firearms services providers, like gun smiths, trainers, and Cerakoting specialists. If you want to get the most from your gun, your local gun show is the right place to begin the process.
While these may be the most bought and most sought-after gun accessories, they’re not even close to the only ones you’ll find. Every gun owner has unique needs for their Second Amendment activities, and with so many vendors, there’s something for everyone. This list will give you a few ideas to help you build your ideal shooting experience.
Modern optics may be the top gun accessories on every gun owner’s shopping list, and they should be. Red dot sights are handgun accessories that help you find your sight picture faster while improving accuracy and precision, and a good scope will have a more immediate impact on your rifle’s performance than any other aftermarket gun part. Look for practical firearms optics built for the real world and engineered with the features you need for better hunting, higher competition scores, or reliable self-defense.
Gideon Optics is one of our favorite manufacturers. While still relatively new to the market, their product line is expanding fast, driven by industry professionals with decades of experience in designing, manufacturing, and selling the top gun accessories and parts on the market. They’re putting out quality optics that leave more money in your bank account, and their lifetime warranty is one of the best in the business.
More rounds mean more firepower. In the field, this can equate to greater tactical flexibility, and on the range, it can mean quicker times in competition or more shots in practice between reloading mags. Magazine extensions are closely related products that modify your existing magazines to carry more rounds rather than just replacing them. Aside from the addition of ammunition capacity, the added length can help provide better leverage to control the recoil and muzzle flip on handguns.
When it comes to extended magazines, you have a lot of options. Most manufacturers offer higher-capacity mags to offset firearm models that may be pre-packaged for sale in low-capacity jurisdictions. Aftermarket manufacturers may go even further, offering their own extension kits, high-capacity magazines, and even drum magazines that triple or quadruple the capacity of standard-sized options. When browsing vendor tables, consider whether you prefer OEM mags or if third-party manufacturers will work and whether you want steel or polymer/plastic models that cut down on cost and weight.
Custom pistol slides are top Glock accessories when a gun owner wants more from their pistol. Glock handguns are known for their reliability, but the bare-bones slides leave a lot to be desired for both utility and aesthetics. Aftermarket slides are available with different finishes and aggressive cut-outs that change the gun’s lines. They also often feature optics-ready milling, deeper serrations for better handling, and may even come packaged with a match-grade barrel.
One of the most exciting names in custom Glock slides is Patmos Arms. Their Revelation line of upgraded slides for both Glocks and the Sig Sauer P320 gives you the optics, handling, and aesthetics upgrades you’re looking for, along with more flexibility for mounting handgun accessories. They’re not stopping there, however, with an ever-expanding product line for the G17 and G19 staples and planned support for even more models and OEM manufacturers in the future.
Tactical flashlights are relatively small, bright, and designed for ease of use one-handed, making them a must-have gun accessory for night shooting or home security. In addition to handheld models, some are designed to work with rifle and handgun accessory rails, letting you mount a light source that leaves your hands free to control the firearm.
When choosing a tactical flashlight, you want to opt for a rugged model with tough construction and a shock- and waterproof design. Look for a modern LED light that offers plenty of brightness while also being energy efficient to reduce the risk of a dead or dying battery leaving you unexpectedly in the dark.
Your shooting kit needs to have the tools you’ll need for a better range experience in a single, easy-to-carry package that’s load-and-go ready. While plenty of commercial kits fit the bill, many gun owners prefer to build out their own range gear with the top tools and gun accessories they might need on or behind the shooting line. Your range gear can help you keep your gun running well, help you clear jams, give you the tools you need for a quick fieldstripping, or include equipment that helps you stabilize your gun for more precise sighting-in.
You’ll find range gear of all kinds at your local gun show. Everything from bench rests and spotting scopes to ammo haulers and gunsmith’s tool kits. Look for the equipment you’ve been missing on your range trips. This can help fill a gap in your existing kit and get you ready for more productive shooting trips.
Reloading can be a fun and rewarding extension of your shooting hobby. If you’re into gun customization, you can’t get much more dialed in than tailoring your ammunition to your weapon. If you’re frugal, reloading might just save you a little money.
Handloading is a specialized skill that can give you a closer connection to your Second Amendment hobby, but it takes the right tools, knowledge, and attention to detail. You’ll find the top gun-loading accessories and equipment, along with experienced vendors ready to offer tips and tricks you won’t find in any book.
