Magnet

Looking for a way to quickly access a handgun at home, or do you need to organize magazines in a gun safe? In both cases, solutions using a **magnet**, or simply a magnet, come to the rescue. In shooting slang (and in store offers), this term covers various types of holders and organizers.

Magnet – what does it mean in the context of shooting sports?

Simply put, a **magnet** in the context of weapons is a piece of equipment that uses magnetic force to hold weapons, magazines, or accessories in a specific place. This clever solution allows for quick access, space saving, and secure attachment.

Instead of keeping your pistol in a drawer, you can mount a **magnet** under your desk and have it always at hand (of course, in accordance with safety rules and regulations!). Instead of stuffing magazines into a safe, you can neatly arrange them on a magnetic strip. The possibilities are truly endless.

Applications of magnets in shooting sports and accessories

Magnets in shooting accessories are primarily:

• Gun mounts: Mounted in gun safes, under desks, in cars. They allow for quick access and secure storage.
• Magazine holders: For organizing magazines in safes, on tactical belts, on walls. They facilitate quick reloading and control over ammunition stock.
• Accessory holders: For attaching flashlights, knives, multitools, and other small items. They allow you to keep things tidy and have quick access to the necessary equipment.
• Brass catchers: Some models have magnetic attachment to the weapon, which facilitates installation and removal.
