Browning | Buckmark 250 Freedom Vision
From the “250 Years of Freedom” machining on the barrel sleeve, to the red, white and blue color palette on the pistol’s G10 grips, this is a .22 LR handgun you’ll be proud to own and pass down. The gun itself is feature-laden, yet extremely lightweight at just 27 ounces, despite its threaded, 5.9-inch barrel. It sports an optics rail along with a green fiber-optic front sight and an adjustable Pro-Target rear sight with a white outline. If that’s not enough, the gold-plated trigger and removable Radial muzzle brake add to its outstanding shootability.

Offered in 12-gauge and 20-gauge models (both with 3-inch chambers), this ultra-exclusive release is limited to 250 units, with 125 produced per gauge. They sport hand-selected AA-grade walnut stocks and museum-level commemorative engraving with gold inlay. That engraving includes the U.S. flag, the text of the Declaration of Independence and a gold 250th Anniversary emblem on the receiver. A custom artistic interpretation of the U.S. seal anchors the design, with an eagle holding olive branches on one side and arrows on the other, symbolizing peace and strength. MSRP: $3,399; benelliusa.com
Bond Arms | America 250th
If you’re looking for perhaps the most concealable handgun in a serious defensive chambering, the Bond Arms America 250th may be the gun for you. This little hand-cannon derringer is chambered in .45 LC/.410 bore, giving you many options for defensive ammunition. Its B6 resin grip and prominent, fixed sights make it relatively easy to keep on target, particularly at the ranges where a derringer might be used. But the main reason to choose this model, of course, is the immensely patriotic engraving on both sides of its black-Cerakote-finished double barrels. “America 250th,” “Land of the Free” and “1776 -2026” adorn the right side, while the Statue of Liberty, a waving Stars and Stripes and “1776-2026,” “Proud to be an American” and “In God We Trust” embellish the left. It is also available in a stainless finish for $100 less. MSRP: $699; bondarms.com
Bear & Son | UV Artwork 35/8-inch Locking Farmhand w/Clip
This folding knife features a 2.75-inch, high-carbon stainless steel blade and an aluminum handle sporting a UV-coated rendering of the American flag. On the blade itself, “250 America” is tastefully printed in the style of a (highly modified) U.S. Air Force roundel to further celebrate our semi-quincentennial birthday. Weighing just 1.1 ounces and just 35/8-inch long (folded), it fits easily into a pocket for everyday carry, but you’ll want to show it off to your friends. MSRP: $44.99; bearandsoncutlery.com
EAA | MC1911 250 Years of Freedom II
European American Armory has long been known for its striking embellishments to many different types of firearms, and to celebrate the semi-quincentennial, it is unsurprisingly offering this eye-catching 1911 in .45 ACP. Emblazoned on the synthetic ivory grips are a diving bald eagle, a Betsy Ross flag and “250 Years of Freedom, 1776-2026.” The left side of the polished-chrome slide is laser-engraved with the words “250 Years of Freedom,” too, while the chrome-finished steel frame sports titanium-nitrate gold accents on the working parts. A skeletonized hammer is likewise gold-accented, as are the grip screws, the extended beavertail and the grip safety. It ships with one eight-round magazine. MSRP: $979; eaacorp.com
Benshot | 250th Anniversary Glasses
Benshot is known for its fun, yet intelligently designed drinkware featuring items of interest inserted into drinking glasses, such as bullets, shell casings and more. To celebrate our semi-quincentennial, the company is offering an eight-piece line of drinkware—including a shot glass, a pint glass, a wine glass, a coffee mug and a decanter—all with a real, hand-cast, zinc musket ball embedded in the side. While the Patriots who won our independence used lead, it’s probably a good thing this drinking conveyance is 100-percent lead-free. Each glass is available individually, so you can get one or the whole line as your heart and/or budget desires. The glasses are also laser-etched with a U.S. flag and the words “America’s 250th Anniversary,” so you can toast to our liberty on July 4th. MSRP: $17.76 (for the shot glass); benshot.com
Ruger | 10/22 America’s 250th Anniversary
Few firearms are as ubiquitous as the Ruger 10/22, and this special edition commemorates America’s 250th anniversary with an ornately engraved, Altamont walnut stock. On the right side, beneath the ejection port, the words “Made in the 250th Year of American Liberty” are cut into the wood, along with a picture of the Liberty Bell. Behind that, two Minutemen stand guard, then the Presidents depicted on Mount Rushmore are cut into the wrist. Further back, the torch of Lady Liberty stands proudly in front of “1776” and a bald eagle, with a waving Old Glory in the background. Two other 10/22 commemorative rifles are also available, giving you multiple options to celebrate America. MSRP: $679; ruger.com
Henry | H010 Brass Side Gate 250th Anniversary
Not only does this American-made lever-action rifle utilize the most American operating system out there, it is chambered for a similarly iconic American cartridge: the .45-70 Govt. A classic, semi-buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front sight sit atop the 22-inch polished blued steel octagon barrel, accompanied by a straight-grip, genuine American walnut buttstock and forearm and a polished brass barrel band. That base gun has been nickel plated on the receiver, fore-end cap and buttplate. It is further adorned with a waving American flag image Cerakoted on both sides. The wood is also upgraded to Fancy, and a silver-filled 250th anniversary logo is added to the buttstock. MSRP: $1,999; henryusa.com
Auto-Ordnance | 250th Anniversary of the United States 1911
This commemorative handgun serves as a functional tribute to our nation’s history. Finished in a matte-gray, durable coating, the design includes a copper-colored infill, which highlights patriotic inscriptions etched into the slide. The left side of the slide is em-blazoned with “250th Anniversary” alongside the year “2026,” while the right side proudly wears “United States of America” and the founding year of “1776.” To complement its unique color palette, the pistol features custom-engraved wood grips showcasing the Liberty Bell on the left and a regal bald eagle on the right, with both images set against a field of stars. Chambered in .45 ACP, it is equipped with TruGlo Combat Day Sights. MSRP: $1,494; auto-ordnance.com
