It’s that time of year again: the lights, the family dinners, the music, the movies, and of course the annual scramble to find the perfect gift. If the person on your list is a gun lover, you already know a few realities that make shopping… a little tricky:
-
Firearms and ammo are expensive. Really expensive.
-
Most accessories blend together, lack originality, or make it difficult to tell which brands are truly authentic and worth investing.
-
Good training gear - especially something they’ll actually use - makes a better gift than another novelty, but where to find it?
That’s where dry-fire training with Strikeman comes in. Below is a friendly, practical guide to holiday shopping for shooters that will save you money while leveling up their skills, and check another name off that shopping list.
Why Dry-Fire Training Matters (And Why It Is Smart For Gift-Giving)
Elements of dry-fire training include
-
Trigger press
-
Sight alignment
-
Draw drills
-
Grip & Stance.
-
Etc.
Benefits:
-
No ammo required - huge savings by eliminating the need to buy rounds.
-
No range fees, travel, or scheduling. Train at home, anytime.
-
Builds muscle memory and confidence without the noise or logistics of the range.
-
Safe when done correctly - ideal for consistent, frequent practice.
Why Strikeman For Christmas?
Most firearm accessories are… underwhelming. Strikeman’s dry-fire training systems are designed specifically to make at-home practice realistic and fun, while delivering real time analytics on your shooting. The Strikeman system lets you train anywhere, anytime, no ammo needed — which directly saves money on both ammo and range fees. For anyone serious about improving their shooting (or anyone who should be), it’s an immediately useful gift rather than another shelf-ornament.
Practical Tips Before You Buy
Before you add anything to your cart consider the following:
-
Know the model & caliber
Many laser cartridges/motion systems are caliber- or model-specific. Double-check the exact pistol model (e.g., “Glock 19 Gen 4, Sig P320, etc.”). Don't know, that's ok! Strikeman offers virtual gift cards so that special someone is able to purchase for themselves. -
Set your price point
Decide how much you want to spend. Dry-fire gear can range in cost. From basic starter kits to pro subscriptions and expansion packs, there’s something for almost every budget. -
Think long-term value
A slightly higher-cost training system that actually gets used and supports expansions is often a better gift than several cheap gadgets that get ignored or break after minimum use.
