The US SAVAGE Gear Guide: Holsters, Mounts, Training Tools and Free Guides

The fastest way to choose gear is to start from the problem, not the product. Carry, vehicle and home storage, rifle and magazine storage, training, a watch that survives work, and preparedness are the six needs almost every US SAVAGE customer arrives with, and each one has a short decision path. This guide walks through those paths, names the product that fits each answer, and points to the article that goes deeper. The free guides are gathered at the end so you can read before you buy.

Carry: choosing a holster

A holster has three jobs: hold the pistol securely, cover the trigger, and present a consistent grip on the draw. The TRX line does all three with one design and three profiles, so the choice comes down to how you dress and how much you move.

  • Start with the TRX Ambidextrous Holster if you want the best entry point. It handles OWB and IWB carry, has adjustable retention and a multi-mount system, and works for either hand.
  • Step up to the TRX Ambidextrous Holster PRO if you are active during the day. Its stabilizer brace enhances control and keeps the firearm secure during movement, and it fits popular models from Glock, P80, Smith & Wesson, Springfield, Sig Sauer and CZ. A free TRX adapter is included.
  • Choose the TRX Holster PRO Slim for deep concealment under a t-shirt. It is the slimmest profile in the line and also ships with a free adapter.

If you want more than one, the X2 TRX Ambidextrous Holster two-pack covers a home and a vehicle, and the Premium Pro Pack adds a third holster plus a free AR wall mount. The X2 Holster TRX Adapter works with 20/20N, 20/21, 20/11, 20/80 and 20/22 stabilizers and gives a secure fit for double-stack pistols with an integral rail. The full holsters collection puts every option side by side.

To decide on position, read IWB vs OWB: which carry position fits your day. If you are not sure whether you need a left-and-right design, Ambidextrous holsters explained settles it. Once the holster is on your belt, Holster retention explained shows how to adjust it, and Glock 19 owners have a dedicated buyer's guide. For the rest of what goes in your pockets, What is everyday carry builds a practical setup without excess. If you want the whole kit in one order, the Get All in 1 Package includes a TRX Holster, a Magnetic Mount with Safety Trigger, a Quick Magnet, an additional magnetic mount, an AR Wall Mount and a free holster adapter. It sits in the tactical bundles collection.

Vehicle and home storage: choosing a magnetic mount

A magnetic gun mount is a wall- or surface-mounted plate with an embedded magnet that holds a handgun by its slide or frame. It is a quick-access tool for adults, and it belongs in adult-only spaces or alongside locked storage when children are in the home. Within the line, the choice depends on how much hold you want and whether you want a physical trigger guard.

  • The Magnetic Mount PRO is the strongest hold in the line. It holds most flat top handguns, installs in a car, truck, office, bedside, desk or doorway, and ships with four long and four short screws. The rubber-coated surface protects the finish.
  • The Magnetic Mount With Safety Trigger uses neodymium magnets rated up to 15 lb and adds an integrated trigger guard that helps prevent accidental contact with the trigger. It comes as a single unit and as an X2 two-pack for a vehicle and a bedside.
  • The Quick Load Slim Camo Edition offers the same mount-almost-anywhere flexibility with a camo finish and the same screw set.

Read Magnetic gun mounts explained for how holding strength and installation work, and Trigger guard protection on magnetic gun mounts to decide whether the guard matters for your setup. For a vehicle, How to store a gun safely in your car compares mounts and lock boxes and covers the legal basics. For the nightstand, Bedside gun storage for quick access compares a magnetic mount, a quick-access lock box, a drawer and a holster-mounted option. Parents should read Fatherhood, Responsibility and Readiness before installing anything. The magnetic gun mounts collection holds every model, and the Magnetic Mount PRO Elite Pack bundles a magnetic mount, a Quick Mag and an AR wall mount with two free gifts.

Rifle and magazine storage: wall mounts and mag holders

Rifle storage is a choice between access and lockdown. A wall mount gives a rifle a fixed, visible home in a safe room, garage or storage area, and it is the right answer for a locked space that only adults enter. A safe is the right answer when the space is shared. AR-15 wall mount vs gun safe works through that decision in detail.

The AR Wall Mount mounts on most wall surfaces, and the X2 AR Wall Mount pair covers two rifles or a rifle and a spare position. Installation questions, from finding studs and choosing anchors to height and spacing between rifles, are answered in the AR-15 wall mount installation guide. Before mounting anything, confirm the rifle is unloaded and keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

Magazines follow their own logic. Beside a rifle wall mount, the T-REX Wall Mag Mount 2-pack is heavy-duty ABS plastic and each mount holds up to four loaded PMAGs, which suits safes, garages, storage rooms and gear walls. On your body, the Quick Magnet Holder is a slim magnetic carrier that stays hidden under clothing and works with most handgun magazines. How to organize magazines covers wall mounts, mag holders and range bag setup together. Browse the AR-15 wall mounts collection and the magazine accessories collection for the full range.

Training: dry fire, laser cartridges and range days

Most shooting improvement happens without ammunition. Dry fire builds the trigger press, the grip and the draw, and a laser training cartridge adds feedback so you can see where each press would have landed. The Tactical Red Laser sits in the chamber and pulses on the firing-pin strike, gives real-time feedback, is indoor friendly and works with multiple calibers. The X2 Tactical Red Laser pack covers two pistols or a spare. Both live in the dry fire laser training collection.

How to choose: if you have never dry fired, start with Dry fire training at home and then follow the 30-day dry fire plan. Add the laser once the habit exists, and read Laser training cartridges explained for how the cartridge works and where it falls short. For live fire, the Range day checklist structures 50 rounds into a session with a purpose, and Gun cleaning basics covers what actually needs attention afterward. If you train with friends and want low-cost movement and teamwork practice, Paintball vs airsoft explains the difference between the two.

Watches: choosing a watch that survives work

A tactical watch is a wrist-worn timepiece built around durability, a long battery and independence from a phone. The Apache III Tactical Watch is the store's pick for blue-collar workers, truck drivers, operators and mechanics. It is tested to U.S. MIL-STD standards, rated IP69K, resists impacts, scratches, dust and water, runs up to 18 months on a battery, works without any app and has a clear display.

How to choose: if you want apps, payments and health metrics, a consumer smartwatch will serve you better, and Tactical watch vs consumer smartwatch lays out the trade-offs feature by feature. If you want a watch you can hose off and forget about charging, start with What is a tactical watch and do you need one, then read Best watches for truck drivers, mechanics and tradesmen. The tactical watches collection holds the Apache III, and the Get All in 1 Full Pack is the most complete bundle in the store, adding the TRX Holster and magnetic mounts to the watch.

Preparedness: the household plan

Preparedness is a plan before it is a product. The Power outage preparedness checklist for families covers supplies for 72 hours, water and food safety windows, lighting, a communication plan, medical devices, generator safety and keeping firearms secured during an emergency. The free Prepared American System guide goes deeper on outages, supply shortages and the family communication plan. Locked storage stays the baseline for firearms in any emergency, with quick-access mounts reserved for adult-only spaces.

Quick answer

Which holster should I buy first? The TRX Ambidextrous Holster is the best entry point. Move to the PRO if you are active during the day, or the PRO Slim for deep concealment.

Which magnetic mount is right for a vehicle? The Magnetic Mount PRO for the strongest hold, or the Magnetic Mount With Safety Trigger if you want the integrated trigger guard. Either way, keep it out of reach of children and check local law on vehicle storage.

Wall mount or safe for an AR-15? A wall mount in a locked, adult-only room; a safe in a shared space. Locked storage is the baseline with children in the home.

Where do I start with training? Dry fire at home, then the 30-day plan, then add the Tactical Red Laser for feedback before your next range day.

Firearm storage and carry laws vary by state, county and municipality. Nothing in this article is legal advice. Verify current local regulations before carrying or storing a firearm, and always follow the four rules of firearm safety: treat every gun as loaded, never point at anything you are not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target, and be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
