Lucky Shot USA is a family-owned American company founded in 2011 that created an entirely new category of military gifts and collectibles: handcrafted items made from genuine spent military brass and projectiles, inspired by Trench Art — the tradition of soldiers from both World Wars who fashioned functional and decorative objects from materials found on the battlefield. Every Lucky Shot USA product combines history, patriotism, and exceptional craftsmanship, and consistently draws admiration even from people with no prior interest in militaria.
History and Inspiration
The founder of Lucky Shot USA spent years collecting original Trench Art pieces — handmade soldier-crafted items from WWI and WWII fashioned from artillery and rifle casings: ashtrays, bottle openers, picture frames, and lamps. After accumulating hundreds of these objects, he recognized their potential as the foundation for a line of modern handcrafted products rooted in that unique tradition. Lucky Shot's first product — a bottle opener modeled on a 1942 original — was a direct tribute to the soldier's craft and immediately resonated with customers. Today the company offers hundreds of products and continues to expand its lineup with new designs and limited-edition releases.
Materials, Authenticity, and Craftsmanship
All Lucky Shot USA products are made from genuine, once-fired military brass and projectiles manufactured to U.S. Army specifications — these are not imitations or replicas. Projectiles embedded in glasses and mugs undergo mandatory processing and are lead-free and certified safe for contact with food and beverages. The majority of products are made directly in the United States, with the remainder assembled in the USA from imported components — reflecting the brand's commitment to domestic manufacturing and employment. Lucky Shot actively supports veterans and active-duty service members through numerous organizations and charitable programs, which is an integral part of the brand's identity and its relationship with customers.
Products and Range
The Lucky Shot USA portfolio includes whiskey glasses and beer mugs with embedded .308, .45 ACP, and 50 BMG projectiles, shot glasses and bar sets, bottle openers, keychains and charms made from spent casings, man cave and range room décor, personalized gifts with custom engraving options, and limited-edition commemorative releases. Every product makes a standout gift for a firearms enthusiast, soldier, veteran, hunter, or militaria collector — and the iconic bullet-embedded glasses have earned a reputation as one of the most distinctive military gifts on the market.
Patriotism and Social Mission
Lucky Shot USA is straightforward about its values: supporting soldiers, veterans, and their families through various non-profit organizations is at the core of the brand's mission. The company proudly emphasizes its connection to military tradition and a "Made in USA" ethos. This is a brand for those who combine a passion for militaria with deep respect for military service and want objects in their everyday environment that reflect that heritage. By choosing Lucky Shot products, you automatically contribute to the mission of supporting veterans.
