Insane Black Friday Gun Deals That Will Blow Your Mind
The cranberry wars were inevitable. So were the bacon arguments. We kick off with Thanksgiving traditions that actually mean something—fresh cranberry relish that no one eats but the cook, deviled eggs with jalapeño heat, and the choice to take kids to a late-season college game when tickets, parking, and concessions sting. From there, we shift into what you came for: a clear, practical roadmap for Black Friday buys that won’t wreck your budget or your training.
We lay out a no-debt plan for ammo and gear: realistic price targets on 9mm and 5.56, why remanufactured loads aren’t worth the risk, and a minimum battery that covers most homes—a carry pistol, .22 rifle, shotgun, and AR. We talk optics you can trust without chasing Gucci, the point where diminishing returns kick in, and the smart places to spend: glass, mags, and parts that actually fail. Training gets its due too—dry fire that works with a simple zip tie, shot timers to add pressure, cardboard targets and steel on T-posts, and using a chronograph to find the load your barrel loves.
Night vision and preparedness light up the middle act. We break down PVS-14 choices (Gen 2+ vs Gen 3), IR illuminators, and what’s real vs hype on EMP effects. Suppressors are poised for a rush as tax stamp fees drop; we explain how to time a purchase before inventory vanishes and why prices should normalize later. On load-bearing, we make the case for chest rigs before plates because you’ll actually wear them, train with them, and hunt with them. Mags are consumables—PMAG Gen 3s or Lancers with metal feed lips—and a quiet, fast-adjust sling beats a fancy brand name every day of the week.
Along the way, we swap pack recommendations, what lives in our everyday kits (tourniquet, compact med, fire starters, compass), and a small trick that pays off in humid climates: silica canisters in ammo cans. The through-line is simple and steady—buy what you’ll train with, build skills that endure, and keep family and faith at the center of the season. If you’re mapping out Black Friday and want high-value gear without the debt trap, this is the guide you’ll replay.
If this helped, tap follow, share with a friend who needs a smart gear plan, and leave a quick review so others can find the show. What’s your best under-$1K rifle setup right now?
