Great Products for Christmas Gift-Giving

From Greg Quinn

 We at Gunblast.com are truly blessed people.  Imagine having the opportunity to review, test, play with, and enjoy the very best firearms, ammo, knives, and other assorted hunting items for free!  While our readers cannot enjoy this privilege, you also don’t have the hard work involved with testing, writing, and producing the number one gun-related test magazine in the world.  We thank you, the readers, for making and keeping Gunblast.com number one, and we want you to reap the benefits from our efforts.  Continue to enjoy our tests and analysis of the finest products in the industry, with open and honest reporting.  And, allow us now to present to you some great last-minute gift ideas from great manufacturers who support Gunblast.com and therefore you, the Gunblast.com member or reader.

 DPMS is a fine manufacturer of truly high-quality AR15 and AR10 rifles.  DPMS has been a Gunblast.com advertiser for several years, and one of the few AR manufacturers whose products we enjoy and support.  You will fine some great firearms on their website, but also some great last-minute gift ideas.  Go to http://www.dpmsinc.com/store for more information.

Trijicon has been supplying the very finest optics technology to our military for many years.  Gunblast.com and Trijicon enjoy a great relationship.  While it is very difficult for a general consumer or even a gun writer to obtain their products, due to as many as they can make going overseas to aid our troops, Trijicon has always managed to get their products to Gunblast.com for test and evaluation.  For high-end military-grade optics, featuring their unique technology, no one beats Trijicon.  While their scopes may be hard to come by, visit their website for some great gift ideas.  Anyone lucky enough to get a present with “Trijicon” on it will be happy indeed.  Click on their banner alongside the Gunblast.com Home page, or go to their website, www.trijicon.com.  

 Savage Arms is synonymous with high-quality and affordable rifles and shotguns.   Their AccuTrigger system set the market on end, and now other manufacturers try to follow their success with this product offering.  Gunblast.com has long been a fan of Savage rifles, and we continue to enjoy and promote their fine products.  If someone on your gift list is looking for a high-quality, reliable, easy-to-shoot, and affordable rifle, check out the offerings at Savage.  Click the banner off the Gunblast.com Home page, or go to their website directly, www.savagearms.com. 

 Lipsey’s is a wholesaler of the finest gun products available.  Almost every product tested by Gunblast.com is available by your dealer through Lipsey’s.  Lipsey’s is the ONLY wholesaler allowed to advertise on Gunblast.com, and for good reason.  If your local dealer is not set up through Lipsey’s, ask them to do so.  Check out their website by clicking the banner, or simply going to www.lipseys.com.  You’ll find a lot of great things you, or someone you love, would want to own.  If you call, tell them that Gunblast.com sent you.

 Simply Rugged Holsters makes some of the finest, most practical, and most cost-effective holsters on the market.  Just ask Jeff; he loves them!  Rob Leahy at Simply Rugged has a product to meet your needs.  Check out their online store: http://www.simplyrugged.com/store/index.html and tell them that Gunblast.com sent you over to see them.

The Gunblast Boys have been huge fans of Ruger products for many, many years.  Greg and Jeff’s first revolvers were Ruger Security Six models back in the mid-70’s.  Greg still has this gun, as well as many other Rugers.  Jeff, Boge, and Greg own enough Ruger revolvers, rifles, and pistols to start a young war.  Jeff and Boge are avid Ruger single-action collectors.  If we’ll plop down our hard-earned money to buy a gun, you know its good.  And, we probably own more Rugers collectively than any other brand.  For consistent quality, reliability, beauty, and value, it is hard to beat a Ruger.  Check out their online store by clicking on their banner from the Gunblast.com Home page, or go directly to their store by clicking this link: http://www.ruger-firearms.com and then click “online store”. 

 Freedom Arms makes fantastic revolvers.  A Freedom Arms revolver is among the finest ever made.  While not cheap, they provide a great value to any gun lover wanting one of the best revolvers made today.  Visit www.freedomarms.com and order yours today.  You will not want to give them away; this is a gift to give yourself.  Tell them the Gunblast boys said “howdy”.

 Smith & Wesson has been manufacturing high-quality firearms and accessories for more years than we can count.  Once the only sidearm carried by most law enforcement across America, they remain among the finest products in the firearms industry.  They continue to manufacture quality revolvers from yesterday’s designs, while employing innovative technology on new models every year.  From pistols to rifles to revolvers to shotguns, a product bearing the name “Smith & Wesson” is sure to satisfy anyone on your gift list, including yourself.  Check out their great online store at www.smith-wesson.com. 

Heritage Safe Company is the ONLY safe endorsed by Gunblast.com, and for good reason.  There are many fine safes on the market.  Gunblast several years ago did an analysis of all quality gun safes, and determined that no one could beat the quality, finish, features, and value of Heritage.  That’s why Heritage Safe is the official safe of Gunblast.com.  And, the only place you can buy a Gunblast.com Limited Edition safe is at Heritage.  Click on the Heritage banner from the Gunblast.com Home page, or visit www.heritagesafe.com.  If you are looking for a gun safe, go no further.  And, for a truly fine safe that only Gunblast.com readers can enjoy, order your Gunblast.com Limited Edition safe.  Tell Troy that Gunblast.com sent you.

Benchmade Knives are not yet an advertiser on Gunblast.com, but soon will be.  We have the opportunity to test knives from a good number of high-quality blade manufacturers.  We like many of them.  Benchmade are among the best.  We have a new Benchmade product under test and evaluation now; watch for the article up on Gunblast.com soon (Rant fixed blade hunting knives).  And, unlike guns, you can buy direct.  Benchmades make great Christmas gifts, and it’s not too late to order.  And, they are made in the good-ole USA.  Buy Benchmade from your local knife supplier, or direct from www.benchmade.com.  Make sure to tell them that Gunblast sent you.

 Stag Arms is a manufacturer of high-quality AR rifles.  Like DPMS and Smith & Wesson, they are among a few that Gunblast.com readily promotes.  Their products are high-quality, reasonably priced, and great shooters.  If you are in the market for a good AR rifle, you owe it to yourself (or the lucky one on your gift list) to check out their products.  Visit them at www.stagarms.com. 

 Mt. Baldy Bullet Company (www.mtbaldybullets.com) of Cody, Wyoming makes great bullets.  Jeff relies on Mt. Baldy for most any bullet need.  Besides making a great product, the folks at Mt. Baldy are among the best to deal with that you have ever met.  Check them out by clicking their banner from the Gunblast.com Home page, or clicking their link above.  Tell them Jeff sent you.

 Crimson Trace makes great laser-grips for most revolvers, AR rifles, and pistols.  The Gunblast boys have Crimson Trace laser products on pistols that are relied upon to defend our homes and our families.  Need we say more?  Crimson Trace will become a Gunblast.com advertiser in 2008, and the only laser-grip product manufacturer invited to advertise on Gunblast.com.  Check them out at www.crimsontrace.com.  Tell them Gunblast sent you.

Finally, although Red Bear Trading Co. does not make gun-related items, Dave Skowron is a very important part of Gunblast, as he does our web hosting for us. Gunblast drives a staggering amount of traffic through his servers, and believe me, maintaining a site that achieves almost a million hits and moves over a Gigabyte of data every day is no easy task! Red Bear Trading also has a special place in Boge’s heart, as what they do offer are “Tor-Tis” guitar picks, the finest premium guitar picks available anywhere. As a guitarist and mandolinist who played increasingly hard-to-find (and EXPENSIVE!) genuine tortoise-shell picks for decades, finding another pick that met his standards was something that Boge thought would never happen. Boge swears by Red Bear’s “Tor-Tis” picks, and will use nothing else. He says they perfectly replicate the feel and sound of the genuine article, but last many times longer, and all at a fraction of the cost of genuine tortoise-shell. If you are a musician, you owe it to yourself to go to www.redbeartrading.com and give them a try.

 We at Gunblast.com invite you to visit the online stores of all our advertisers.  Our advertisers are “invitation-only”; only those invited to advertise on Gunblast.com are allowed to be in this small group.  And, only those whose products we truly love and purchase ourselves are invited.  There are many good manufacturers out there; these are among the best.

Another note:  we are giving away a great little revolver on January 1st.  Only Gunblast.com members can win this and other great products given away on Gunblast.com.  If you are a member, perhaps you will win.  If you are not a member, then join today. It is not too late to get in on this give-away.  And a great way to start a new year is to join Gunblast.com, the number one gun test magazine, as a Member.

We at Gunblast.com, as well as our advertisers, wish you and your family a very merry Christmas, and a happy 2008.

Greg Quinn

Director of Marketing
