GunBroker.com Kicks Off the Holidays With ’25 Days of Guns’ Sweepstakes
GunBroker.com has launched its 25 Days of Guns Sweepstakes for this December holiday season. Every day from December 1 to December 25, participants can enter to win a new firearm, with a special grand prize gun revealed on Christmas Day.

A different gun will be “unwrapped” every day through Christmas. Starting December 1, a new firearm will be showcased each day, and participants can enter to win that specific gun, with the winners determined after Christmas. The earlier in the month the gun is revealed, the more chances participants have to enter and win that firearm. For instance, you can enter to win the gun revealed on December 1st up to 25 times. By contrast you have two chances to enter and win the gun revealed on December 24th.

Maximize Your Chances — Participants are encouraged to visit the sweepstakes page daily to enter and increase their chances of winning. Each new day brings a fresh opportunity to win a different firearm, culminating in the grand unveiling of the grand prize firearm on December 25. So far five nice guns have been revealed: 1) Beretta A400 XPlor Action; 2) Browning X-Bolt Micro Composite; 3) FN 509 Midsize MRD; 4) Bergara Ridge Wilderness; and 5) Beretta 686 Silver Pidgeon Shotgun.

Optics-Ready Handguns — Popular New Pistol Options

Shooting Industry magazine october 2022 optics read pistol handgun gunsafe

The October 2022 issue of Shooting Industry Magazine covers the increasing popularity of “optics-ready” handguns. These pistols have slides configured to mount Red Dot optics. Some of these new handguns are sold with the Red Dot optics pre-installed, ready to go. For example, the Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P 9 Shield Plus (above) is sold with a Crimson Trace Red Dot optic mounted on the slide.

For IDPA and gun games, a Red Dot sight can definitely help with rapid target acquisition. And for a defense gun, the Red Dot assists aiming at night, even in the dark. And unlike a pistol-mounted laser, the Red Dot does not have a bright, visible beam that pinpoints the gun owner’s location.

The Shooting Industry article explains how optics-equipped pistols have become much more popular: “It wasn’t too long ago optics-ready handguns were little more than a novelty. But today, it’s difficult to talk about the handgun segment without delving into the increasing number of guns coming from the manufacturers with optics already installed, or ready to accept one.”

Massad Ayoob, a respected shooting instructor and gun writer, says optics-equipped pistols are now very popular: “Carry optics are burning up the handgun market today. Some of my fellow instructors tell me they have general defensive shooting classes where more than half the students show up with guns wearing carry optics, a compact version of Red Dot sights. Police departments are going to them [optics equipped pistols] in droves.” READ FULL Story.

If you are interested in a wide selection of optics-ready handguns, check out the Modern Carry: Best Optics-Ready Pistols article in the CheaperThanDirt Blog. This highlights ten production pistols from Canik, CZ, FN, Hechler & Koch, Keltec, SCCY, SIG Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory, and Taurus. Below is the Taurus G3 T.O.R.O (Taurus Optic Ready Option), a full-frame pistol with 17+1 9mm capacity.
