Dorkiest Firearm accessory you've owned...

Come on 'mon. You know you've done it. Bought/acquired some gimmicky firearm related doodad that was supposed to be the bomb but turned out being about as much of a dud as a fat chick at a track meet.

Me? I guess I would have to start with:
1) them fangled plastique Ruger Mini-14/30 (used to have both) brass catchers. Never was able to mount it.
2) Another 90s' gem, "Tac Trigger" able to enable aimed bump firing a whole mag! "Phhht!" I found I was able to bum fire aim fire better with out it on certain long arms.
Can't think of anything else right now. But I know there's more. I'll have to check my old shootin' accessory box from many moons ago.

Some Velcro that's supposed to wrap around the pistol as a "holster" then stick to other Velcro in my jacket pocket....the wrapping the pistol part doesn't work as well as the ads implied. At least it was inexpensive.

Dorky and fun would be those cheap ink pens with a rounded top that some guy on you tube uses to dry fire without hurting the firing pin. Sends the cheapo pens flying....cheaper than the dummy ammo...and fun.

Flip over scope mounts. For the 'olden days' when the Weaver scopes fogged up. Talk about erratic groups.

Laser for me

It took me a while to realize how much I hate lasers on handguns.

Aha, I wasn't the only one to buy the "Uncle Mike's self unadjusting shoulder holster" Fricking thing wouldn't have held an unloaded squirt gun .


My other biggie was a dorky thing that I got when I bought a Sterling pistol magazine.

BMF Activator? I have one of those for my 10/22. It's pretty fun. 4 shots in one rotation if I remember correctly. It's been months since I used it..22lr is hard to come by these days.

Sadly, they're out of business now, but Chick Holsters rigged up some underkilt thigh holsters for some of us kilted gunners.

Click the image to open in full size.

Holster is riding low in this pic, but you get the idea...great concept and great concealment...just kind of difficult to walk around in and you had to watch the kilt hem when sitting down.

A Taurus. Twice. It truly is an accessory if you can't count on it as an actual firearm.
