Range Safety Gear
Safety is paramount on the firing range and often overlooked, but crucial pieces of equipment are eye protection and hearing protection.
High-quality eye protection, or hearing protection, is affordable and comes with options for different types of lenses suitable for indoor and outdoor shooting.

Optional Walker gel-filled earpads enhance comfort, making them an excellent choice for over-the-ear hearing protection.
Pistols and Rifles: Affordable Shooting Solutions
In today's rapidly changing and uncertain times, firearms enthusiasts are always looking for ways to maintain their shooting skills and have fun without depleting their ammunition stocks.
Training with .22LR alternatives is an excellent solution. Many manufacturers offer .22LR pistols that replicate their full-caliber counterparts, providing a cost-effective way to practice.
Some favorites include the Glock 44, GSG 1911, S&W M&P22, and the Walther P22. Better yet, the SIG P322 TAC PAC has almost everything you need for a fun range outing with a .22LR pistol, including extra magazines and a holster!
Shopping for a rifle? Ammunition Depot offers a wide array of .22LR options for a fun day at the range and an economical way to refine shooting fundamentals.
Classics like the Ruger 10/22 remain popular and offer endless customization possibilities. Other choices, such as the Henry Survival Rifle, provide a compact, portable plinking option.
And for those who love the AR-15 platform, rifles like the Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 offer the experience of shooting an AR-15 in .22LR.
Speaking of .22LR and the AR-15 platform, one doesn’t necessarily gift a whole AR-15 rifle! .22LR conversion upper receivers, like the type made by Chiappa, allow someone who already owns an AR-15 to quickly swap the .22LR upper onto their existing AR-15 lower.
Available in an 11.8" and 7.8" QUAD Picatinny rail, the Chiappa upper receiver comes with everything you need to have a blast on the range with .22LR, including the magazines - Just add the .22LR ammo!
