The main gift: a holster that fits almost anything
The hardest part of buying a holster as a gift is knowing the exact pistol model. The TACFENDER Universal Holster PRO solves that with a rail-lock system: it fits 50+ pistols across Glock, Smith & Wesson, Springfield, Sig Sauer, CZ and more, as long as the pistol has an accessory rail. It's ambidextrous, so it works for left- and right-handed shooters, and it has a lifetime warranty.
Small gifts that get used
- X2 Holster TRX Adapter: extra rail-lock adapters so one holster works with a second or third pistol.
- Coupler Mag Holder: joins two AR-15 PMAG magazines for faster reloads at the range. See our AR-15 magazine coupler guide.
The big gift: one setup for everyone
The Ultimate Holster Bundle includes 4 holsters, 2 Coupler Mag Holders and 10 rail-lock adapters, enough to set up a whole household. See one holster setup for a multi-gun household.
Gift-buying tips if you don't shoot
- Find out the pistol brand and model, or simply whether it has a rail under the barrel.
- Don't worry about left or right hand with an ambidextrous holster.
- Pair the gift with a plan: a range day together or a pistol class. See what holster you need for a pistol class.
- Order early so it arrives in time.
