Must have accessories for a new shooter?

[qiu_lijie]

You can buy the "Stack on" safes for cheap now a days. I would rather buy a safe than a "Cabinet" unless you have a metal cabinet made.
As for trigger locks. I would avoid the key ones. Nothing worse than getting to the range and finding that you forgot your keys. Go with the combo type one. yes they cost a bit more but when you have to break the other one off your firearm because you lost the keys then it becomes worth it.

I would also look at a range bag of some sorts. I know Cabelas just had some on sale. It's nice to have a place to store your eyes and ears. As for the rest wait and buy it as you need it. If you know you are going to buy a pistol then go buy the cleaning kit for it. You will find in no time that you collection will grow.

I still don't get sentiment against lock using keys. Just put those keys, just one if you get the same keyed ones, on the same key ring with your house keys and store the spare key separately. This way whenever you leave you would have all the keys with you! Plus it's easier to unlock when you really need it

People already mention to get cleaning kit. Remember to get some kind of cleaner and oil or CLP like stuff. Personally I use Ballistol. Also you need eye protection as well, especially if you plan to shoot steel.

Don’t get the trigger locks with keys. Get the coded ones.

Well, the title says 'new shooter' so carry a basic first aid kit. Cloth bandaids and antiseptic spray at least. Slide bite WILL get you, it's a rite of passage. You probably won't notice until you look down at your hand and see the blood.

Visa

One with cash back. Nothing like seeing you get yourself enough to further crowd up the safe/cabinet.

I was in Nebraska on work with a guy and went to Cabela’s in Sydney with him. He has a Cabela’s credit card, which he also uses as his corporate expense card. Walked in, grabbed a Colt AR and case of ammo, paid for it all with Cabela’s rewards and took it home. Didn’t cost him a thing.

Books. Pick up a book on how to shoot. How to maintain your guns. How to hunt if thats in your plans.

Don't just go spending money to accumulate stuff to fill your house. Fill your mind with knowledge.

Ideal things to have

Eye protection
Ear Protection
Gun cleaning kit
Cleaning solvents, oils,
Case for transporting firearms
Range Bag

Notes: In terms of gun cleaning kits, I'd go with a manufacturer known for quality. I love Otis technology!
Here's a resource I followed that helped me determine what exactly I needed in a cleaning kit. https://combated.com/gun-cleaning-kits-101/

Also bring plenty of ammo!
