A good a spotting scope. I had a cheap Simmons scope and couldn't even see 30 cal holes at 100 yards so I threw it in my kids toy box and bought a Leupold Sequoia. I wasn't that happy with the Leupold either and sold it.

I live in NJ and can't carry a sling shot but for reasons I can't understand I keep buying a holsters for my guns. Mostly Safariand because I like that old school look with a thumb break for good retention, can't have it falling out when I am wearing it never. Bought one today on fleabay, new old stock Safariland for my 92FS for 10 bucks, how can you not buy it. They have more if anyone is in the market.
Moon clip loader from Revolver Supply. I have sensitive thumbs don't you know. Also a demooner. Just had to have them.

Grips. Everything needs grips. It's the gateway to a guns soul.
Just ordered a set of these in black G10 for a new one:

The term "ammo" comes to mind.
The last accessory I bought was a DeSantis Nemesis for a J-frame.
I like the Nemesis, but am considering trying a Mika pocket holster.

Funny, I can't think......
Funny, I can't think of anything I have that I'd call an 'accessory'. I'm so basic and cheap about everything I have enables me to reload and shoot. Not much extra in my shop, safe or range bag.
I suppose the closest I would get would be supplementing the 10 round mag for my 3rd Gen with a 15 round one. I GUESS that could be called an 'accessory'.
If I can think of anything else at all, I'll come back and add an edit.

I got to thinking, you need a gun; before you buy accessories' unless you weird....
Is it me or does anyone else happen to notice that the thing you want the most, have the highest hopes for always turns turns to liquid slop when you finally get it in your hands?????
Back around 1991 or 2 I had an M1A all tricked out. Krieger barrel, the works...no expense spared. I discovered somehow that the Leatherwood ART II scope existed at one time and at first concluded that it was no longer available. Then in the back of I think it was a "Shooters Bible" there was the address and phone number to MAC in Stephenville, Tx.
I called them and was surprised to hear that my scope was being shipped that day. Back in 1991, $650.00 was a lot of money to me. I was so happy, I next day aired it...good thing they didn't have same day air...I'd have done it, no matter the cost. I couldn't wait to get my hands on that scope.
Next day it arrived...i took off work and went home to try it out. It was so neat looking sitting on that M1A. Off to the range and in total bliss I go to zoom it on up and the reticle turns 90 degrees and wont come back. I go home and call the gal and she says, "send it back, we'll put a reticle in it for you." 8 months later after getting the Texas attorney general involved I had another one. This one was right. It was only then that I discovered what a total piece of junk this thing was...although the design is a novel idea, it wasn't really accurate. I guess it worked good enough for man sized targets. Biggest problem was the turrets...they didn't have any clicks at all. The adjuster just slid around in a rubber washer that held it in place. Little index marks were there that kind of added up to 1/2 minute of angle but because the adjusters had so much lash and no positive click stops you never really knew where it was or how much impact moved until you fired the rifle.
They are still sought after scopes and thank god I didn't have any trouble selling it, even after I told the buyer my issues with it. I am really not a picky guy...but I seriously cant remember the last time I paid dearly for something and was 100% totally satisfied. So, after 20 some odd years of getting myself sold on various items I "had to have" and enjoying almost total disappointment....I quit "having to have" something.
