Looking for a deal on a Trijicon TR24. Y’all know of anything?
Not yet but it's still early for the deals.
Eric, you're doing a helluva good job with Pew Pew Tactical. I always refer to your articles and analysis of various gun products. They are up to date, unbiased, and professionally done. There are many blowhards out there, but you stand above the whole heap.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Ray!
I just bought 22lr from Midsouth Supply 0.05 a rnd way less than anything you listed.
Any deals on a solid a AK-47 pistol or side folder around ~13” in 7.62? Thanks
Hey, have been trying to use the PEWPEW code at Crimson Trace, to get the 30% discount on a LaserGrip for my Glock, but keep getting a message saying the code is applied but is not in effect. I am guessing it is superceded by their sitewide 20% off Black Friday discount, but still kind of disappointing. Am I missing something?
It might be not stackable.
Typhoon Defense 30% off all Guns
Any experience with Brownell’s backorders? I ordered the Vortex Razon Gen II E 1-6 with the 15% code. It was “in stock” at the time it was ordered but now says back ordered. I picked up a few things to go with it which I won’t need if the optic ends up on indefinite back order. Trying to decide if I should just cancel the other items.
Well. I jumped at the deal for the PA SLx 1-6x LPVO. Unfortunately, Primary Arms is no longer giving the Deluxe Mount with the optic, even with the promotional link through PPT. It's still a good deal on the optic but I wanted to let anyone know, that might be interested. The Mount no longer comes with the optic.
Anyone find the best deal on CMC triggers?
I've tried to get this answered but so far no luck. Question what is the difference between the PANZER EGX500 12 GAUGE BULLPUP SHOTGUN 18.5"SEMI-AUTO and the BP-12 Bullpup?
Thanks for staying so on top of these guys~ It would be dope if y'all had an update section or something, that way we would have a place to check for what the new stuff is when y'all update and not need to scour all of the old deals to find them
It's worth noting that PSA's "deal" prices - aren't. By that I mean that they LITERALLY just slapped a "Black Friday" tag on the same prices they've had for months now (including the BLEM AK-V cited in the article above). I'm not saying they don't have decent price points on some items, but the vast majority have been priced where they are at for weeks now.
He is correct...
Angstadt Arms had some pretty cool deals. Free gun with purchase or free can with purchase.
I find myself disappointed after looking at the Black Friday gun deals.
1. This is not the fault of anyone but Maryland’s liberal democrats but I was not able to find any Maryland compliant AR/AK platforms.
2. It seems that hammer fired guns are rarely promoted while there’s a plethora of striker fired handguns. Call me a dinosaur or stuck in the past but I much prefer hammer fired handguns.
Move to a red state.
Mr. Johnson, thank you for taking the time to respond. There is nothing I would rather do than move to a red state. Sometimes that’s not possible. I have cared for my disabled wife for 16 plus years. Three years ago I had to retire because my health went bad. There are eight first class hospitals within 30 minutes of us. We rely on my younger sister, a cousin, and a couple of friends for help. So you see moving to a red state is not as easy as it sounds. Keep us in your prayers and I will do the same for you. God bless.
To be clear, I wouldn't know if a great deal hit me in the face.
Been shooting for awhile now and just starting to get into building my own rifles.
Any suggestions on lowers, uppers, combo.'s during this weekends black Friday and cyber Monday sales?? If the prices are good, I would love to stock up for a few builds down the road that I'm thinking about. THANKS.
Aero Precision website
This is the first time hearing about the Bug-A-Salt, hilarious! Now, I wonder if I can mount my red dot optic on that pic rail...! (J/K) I just ordered mine LOL.
Hey that EATMEAT code for Shall Not Comply is NOT working.
Hey Van, can you try again? We pinged them and it wasn't set to go until tomorrow but now it should work.
North american rescue has some sweet deals as well.
ConsoleVault(dot)com is also offering 20% OFF anything site wide with code "DAMTONA"
Are you going to be discounting your Beginner Handgun Course this year?
Hey is the VORTEX14 code live on eurooptics?
Cabelas sold out of the vortex viper binocs before I couls get a pair
OpticsPlanet has the Vortex Diamondback 10x42mm still!
Those arent the HD version. Difference?
The HD version has better coatings that make the system clearer.
The link to the beginner handgun course says the coupon code is invalid or expired. The code says BLACKFRIDAY2019. Will it be updated for 2020?
Sorry about that! The sale on the course will be going live on Black Friday, we're doing some back end up dates right now!
Thanks! I really enjoy your site. The content is very well done and entertaining! Keep up the great work.
- Gun noob from CA...
Great deal on Ammunition. I like this offer 50% off Gun Noob.
So glad you like the holster as silent as the steps of a navy seal .
Optics planet sale is 11% off site wide.
PSA ammo isn’t that cheap they changed their deal
Witt Machine has 25% off suppressed uppers
Is the Palmetto state armor Vortex strike eagle working 1-6x or is it just a black Friday deal?
Olight is doing some cool stuff too. Have fun keeping up with the chaos !
The Federal black ammo looks appealing but its really not a rebate, its in the form of a gift card/ store credit to buy more stuff (fine print says "redeemable at Vista Outdoors"). Also if you add shipping & tax on top of that it brings the price per round back up to (if not more as in my case w/ tax) than normal price. It would be a deal like they offered at Palmetto last year if they also had free shipping but I haven't found that anywhere yet.
Free shipping is now happening at the Palmetto site, I didn’t know about it only being a gift card though.
This page lists 250 rounds of 9mm at 30.95 but the link takes you to 1000 rounds at 139.99. after rebate.
you do realize "Vista Outdoors" is the parent company to many ammunition makers, including Federal, CCI, and Remington.
Are you keeping this up to date? SG3705 expired 3 days ago on Sportsman's Guide.
We update daily! Thanks for letting us know, it has been updated now.
Update: LaRue has the mbt triggers for 80 bucks this year. Also the faxon 9mm 10.5 barrel / bolt combo is wrong. Rainer only has the 8.5 .. I wanted the 10.5 barrel combo, i got so excited lol
Shit I was literally about to order tomorrow before they sold out. Thanks for heads up
Forget the Geissele...go to LaRue and get the MBT for $87.
I've ordered quite a bit from Optics Planet in the last year, but on more than one occasion, I've had them accept my order, and then as much as a week later, tell me that they won't have the item I ordered in stock for another 2 months. As infuriating as that is, it would be even more so if I had gone with them for a special deal, only to find out that they didn't have it in stock, and I could have purchased it elsewhere, but now I can't because BF deals are over.
Bottom line, beware of this if you choose to order with them.
You can still find some BF deals on several websites. Check Primary Arms, Brownells, PSA...
Happened to me as well
Ordered a Steiner laser/light last night, got an email today that read similar, then a couple hours later, a tracking number
Apparently I spoke too soon. Looks like my order for the Accu-Tac FC-G2 has a “Unknown ETA. Please contact us” message ♂️
Any good deals on 3lb drop in triggers?
Km tactical also has some sweet deals! 7.5 or 10.5 Black Friday Complete Upper Special w/ Red Dot For only $200.
Hey another place i found for the first time TheMagShack.com i got 21rd m17 mags there for my 320m17. Like 40$ 2 or 3 $ shipping n quik
Don't forget about "Wing Tactical" and "Right to Bear Arms" for Black Friday deals.
I ordered alot from opticsplanet.com last night for the first time, i found the best deals on there. Even better than primary arms which is my go to. 11% off everything even on sale and free shipping over 49$. Got free gifts with a couple magpul products.
Good for you. I trust Primary Arms, I am willing to pay a bit more knowing they have in stock and there won't be any issues.
I especially liked that some things had higher % off, so had to make 3 separate orders to maximize the coupons. PA’s 10% mil discount + their recent Save12 came in handy on a new PLx 6-30x56, though.
Don't forget Browning's $100 rebate on handguns purchased before Monday, and $200 off shotguns.
Aero black friday is UP!!!
Thanks Jay...updating!
Looking for a century arms c308 for Black Friday any good leads?
Prepper Gun Shop for $550
Any leads on 1911 .45s? In the market for a good handgun
We haven't seen any awesome deals on 1911s yet.
Remington R1 GI for like $490 at GrabaGun.com
Dude ,u can get rock island 1911 45acp i seen it as low as 299$ thats awesome! I believe it was ganderoutdoors? Not sure but i did see it and thats cheap its normal price 500^ just dig
They aren't "cool" enough I guess. Get a Ruger 1911 if that's all you can afford, you won't be disappointed.
I just bought '18" Pencil, .308 WIN, Rifle-Length, 4150, Nitride' on Faxon Firearms for $169.55 total. Look at the Black Friday deals. If you don't see the discount on that page it will be applied during checkout. Reg price is $269 plus shipping.
https://faxonfirearms.com/black-friday/
Thanks Peter, we've updated everything today and Faxon was one of them!
PSA Has a complete lower for $100 ($116 with shipping)
http://www.pewpewtactical.com/go/psa/psa-black-friday-lower/
They also have complete lowers for $199...
Thanks Todd...they just released their deals so we're adding it right now.
Bear Creek barrels are back in stock! Just ordered mine. You have to get a sticker and shipping for $10.25 (twist my arm why don't ya). Thanks for the heads up!
So far this shopping weekend best deals on PamettoStateArmory.com. All the other sites were a poof.
Sportsman's Guide, of Minnesota, has some really good prices on ammunition plus a free S/H code (SH2615). I've been purchasing multiple boxes of Lapua .223 in the 50 rd. pack for $21.37 a box. Excellent ammunition (my AR-15 builds love this stuff) and the brass is Lapua's "top notch brass". Great for reloads.
Thanks Jeff, that will help some people. Personally I'm very meh about Sportsman's Guide after a recent terrible customer service experience with them on a FFL purchase.
An idea to help those new to firearms.....Consider starting a reference list of gunsmiths with comments from users. We all know where to buy a firearm, but not necessarily how to have work done on it.(sights, added rails, etc.) Group list by state, and allow negative as well as positive feedback. Add whether they work on handguns, or long guns - or both. Many don't advertise in Yellow Pages or on-line, yet might be great "smiths"
Cheers and thanks for considerations
Dick
Great suggestion, I know how hard it is to find competent smiths in the area.
I purchased yet another Geissele MK4 15" rail (black) for $216 thru Brownell's. Orig. $300 on sale down to $239 minus another 10% using the "MEF" code = $216. Includes their free S/H of course. Perfect for my next build (conversion of my first generation SA Saint to a low profile rail design).. Thanks for including the "MEF" code for 10% off any order over $50. I had already used their "NAA" code for 10% off any order over $300. Been very happy with Geissele products.
Nice buys, Jeff!
I took advantage of Brownell's 10% off any order over $300 with free S/H. Bought a Faxon .223 Wylde 20" flame fluted barrel. Orig. price of $309 for $216 after current sale price plus the 10% off. Picked up a Yankee Hill low profile gas block, rifle length gas tube and a few other items for less that what the barrel would have cost before the sale. I always purchase one box of 9mm ammo so that my order is only eligible for UPS or FedEx delivery. Otherwise it gets turned over to the "mail innovations" and disappears for another 5-6-7 days.
This is a great tip (about buying ammo to force UPS/FedEx delivery without going through the US Postal Service)! Thanks.
I picked up some Federal .22LR today at Cabelas. 1625 rds & ammo box for $75.
Hi and happy-thanksgiving --What s your current thoughts on the resurgent 10 mm handgun and the venerable 458 socom rifle platform?
Hi Alan, if your wrists and wallet can handle them...I'd say go for it!
TYVM Eric!
Buy yourself a reloading kit. Lee makes an almost complete one for less than $200. I make .45acp ammo for 15 cents a round and .223 Remington for 17 cents a round
Hi Oswaldo, yup! I buy handgun ammo for my friends to use when they want to shoot my guns. I keep my reloads for myself (just in case they go boom in the wrong way).
