Performance-boosting Gun Accessories

1.Pistol Grips

Pistol grip is an accessory that can really boost your performance as it allows the hand of the shooter to hold the firearm as a pistol, giving additional support and grip. With a pistol grip, the web between the thumb and the fingers can rest easily on the gun’s trigger making it more effective and dangerous. In California, you can add this accessory only if your firearm has a non-detachable magazine of 20 rounds or a detachable magazine of 10 rounds.

2.Folding/Telescoping Stock

The folding stock allows the gun to be much smaller as it can easily fold over, making it more concealable. On the other hand, a telescopic stock is another name for the collapsible stock. Both these accessories can really amp up the whole performance and shooting experience as they allow the shooter to adjust the length of the gun, its ability to see properly with just a few adjustments.

3.Flash Hider

This device is fixed on the front of the muzzle in order to reduce the flash from entering the eyes of the shooter and it also conceals the light from the attacker making it more concealable and conspicuous. This accessory is loved by all gun fanatics as it really augments the whole performance especially at night time.

4.Holsters

Holsters are good for all kinds of firearms, be it San Diego legal shotguns or rifles as some are great to be put on our body, some we keep in our cars and some are designed to put away the gun securely in a gun safe.

We at WBT guns are a big advocate of holsters when it comes to shooting as it allows you to keep your gun safe in between shots and also allows you to rest without worrying that your gun is not in a safe position. A holster on your body keeps the back position straightened up which improves the shooting posture and keeps the shooter alert at all times.

5.ACOG and BUIS

Two of the most important aftermarket components you can add to your rifles are Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) or Back-Up Iron Sights (BUIS). The ACOG attachment is best suited for mid to long range shooting engagements whereas BUIS is ideal for short to mid-range shooting engagements.

ACOG is a military grade attachment that isn’t run on any battery or electricity which makes it super reliable in sticky situations. Its reticle is lit up by radioactive decay of tritium which has an average life of 10-15 years making it a great accessory for your rifle without having to change batteries even a single time!

An ACOG attachment is pretty darn expensive so if you don't have any need for long distance shooting you can opt for BUIS. This attachment is also not run on batteries which makes it that much more reliable. The BUIS is only good till its zero is so make sure you zero them attentively.

6.Grip Attachments

Grip attachments be it vertical or angled are a great accessory for your rifles. It provides a great control and grip on your rifle, making it easier for you to handle it and give you a relaxed grip for your shooting needs. In order to configure your grip, it's best to put these grip attachments close to the magazine although some shooters are totally against it.

To make it simple for you to decide, choose the vertical grip attachment for medium range shootings as it offers more control and a much faster reaction time.

7.Bullet Sleeve

With rifles, most of the engagements are done with your cheeks glued to the buttstock for better aiming and control. The best way to solve both problems is by getting a bullet sleeve/ check rest. The bullet sleeve slides easy on your buttstock while providing you a cushion for your cheeks.

Conclusion

All these accessories are an absolute must-have as these not only make your firearm look cool but also improve your overall shooting experience. Always opt for the best quality gun accessories as they last you a long time and will always be reliable.
