How Regal’s START Kits Keep You Safe, Smart, and Out of Trouble

Be honest. You walked out of the gun store like a tactical superhero. Your brand-new firearm was gleaming in its case, you gave a respectful nod to the guy behind the counter, and you were already picturing your Hollywood-level accuracy at the range. Then… reality set in.

You got home, opened the case, and realized you had no eye protection. No ear protection. No lock. No idea what a chamber flag even is. Your “gun owner” moment just became a “now what the heck do I do?” moment.

That’s where Regal’s START Kits come in—like a friendly, informed, no-nonsense mentor who shows up with all the gear you should have bought, but didn’t know existed.

START = Safety, Training, and Responsibility Tools

And yes, you need them all.

Regal’s START Kits are the no-BS, beginner-friendly solution to becoming a safe, responsible, and prepared gun owner. These kits are designed to take the confusion, second-guessing, and rookie mistakes out of the equation. Instead of wandering the aisles of your local store like a lost puppy, START kits hand you everything you need in one box. Think of it as your “welcome to gun ownership” survival pack—with style.

And best of all? There are two kits to match your level of commitment, budget, or personal preference.

START Kit Standard: The “Don’t Be That Guy” Starter Pack

Perfect for the new gun owner who wants to start off right—without looking like they just impulse-bought a pistol because of a movie.

What’s Inside:

  • Range Bag – Because your gun deserves better than a plastic grocery bag.
  • Keyed Cable Lock – Basic security to keep your firearm safely stored.
  • Chamber Flag Pack – Let everyone at the range know your firearm is clear and safe.
  • American Flag Patch – Because you can’t go wrong with stars and stripes.
  • Eye Protection – Save your vision from hot brass and bad decisions.
  • Ear Protection – Because tinnitus is not a flex.
  • Black Cleaning Cloth – Keep your gear sharp and your fingerprints off.
  • Printed Material Pack, including:
    • Gun Safety Card
    • WTTA (Walk the Talk America) Mental Health Screening Information
    • Product List (so you know what you have, and what you might want next)

Why You’ll Love It:
It’s got the basics covered—safety, storage, and those critical first-time owner tools that show you actually know what you’re doing. You’ll walk into the range with confidence (and all your fingers).

START Kit Enhanced: The “Okay, I’m Serious About This” Bundle

This is the grown-up version. The upgraded gear, the premium storage—everything a responsible gun owner needs to step up their game and stay ready.

What’s Inside:

  • Upgraded Range Bag – Bigger, better, more pockets. Tactical organization, baby.
  • Gun Cleaning Mat – Because your kitchen towel isn’t the answer.
  • MLC5200 Metal Lockable Case – Durable, secure storage that says, “I’ve got this handled.”
  • Keyed Cable Lock – Layered safety, because you’re smart like that.
  • Chamber Flag Pack – Range-safe and confidence-boosting.
  • American Flag Patch – Still patriotic. Still cool.
  • Eye Protection – Your vision matters. Treat it like it does.
  • Ear Protection – Silence is golden. Especially after a day at the range.
  • Black Cleaning Cloth – Wipe down, clean up, look sharp.
  • Printed Material Pack, including:
    • Gun Safety Card
    • WTTA Mental Health Screening Information
    • Product List

Why You’ll Love It:
You’re not playing anymore. This kit is for the gun owner who’s going beyond the basics. Whether it’s serious range days or taking responsibility seriously, the Enhanced kit is a strong step toward real firearm maturity.

The Awkward Truth About Being a New Gun Owner

Nobody wants to admit they don’t know what they’re doing. But let’s be real—your first week of gun ownership is like being dropped into a new hobby with no instructions. Everyone assumes you just know things:

  • “You’ve got a chamber flag, right?”
  • “How are you storing that at home?”
  • “What’s your dry fire routine?”

And you’re standing there, smiling and nodding while Googling “what is a bore snake” under the table.

Regal’s START Kits save you from that embarrassment. They cover the gear you didn’t know you needed and arm you (pun intended) with tools, education, and confidence.

Don’t Just Own a Gun. Own the Responsibility.

Gun ownership is a right—but it’s also a big responsibility. The START Kits were created to give new (and even not-so-new) gun owners a better beginning. It’s not about looking tactical or cool—it’s about being safe, smart, and prepared.

Whether you choose the Standard Kit to cover your bases or the Enhanced Kit to level up your game, one thing’s for sure: you’ll walk away feeling like you actually belong in this world of responsible firearm owners. ~ Gun Talk Staff
