Gun accessory product photography with AI for holsters, safes and cleaning kits

Gun accessory product photography works best with the gun left out. From one photo of a holster, safe, case or cleaning kit, Blurbly makes packshots, a white-background main image and lifestyle scenes, with no firearm in the image.

Example images and video

Generated from a fictional “Harrowgate” product: studio, white-background and lifestyle stills, plus a short motion clip made from one of the stills. No real brand is shown.

What we measured for gun accessories

In our October 2026 test of 3 products and 6 images (holster, safe, cleaning kit, rifle case and magazine pouch), GPT Image 2 generated all 6 on the first attempt. No second model was needed.

Every prompt said “no firearm in the image” and none of the results showed one. We recommend keeping it that way: the accessory is the product, and a gun in frame changes how ad platforms read the ad.

Holster shapes came out generic. If your holster is cut for a specific model, start from a photo of your product rather than a text prompt.

Running ads for gun accessories on Meta and TikTok in 2026

Meta separates accessories that carry or store a firearm from ones that change how it works. TikTok doesn’t name accessories at all.

  • Meta: holsters, pouches and magazine holders, and gun cases, safes, locking devices, slings and tripod mounts can be promoted when targeted to people 18 or older. Meta weapons policy
  • Meta: firearm parts, silencers, optics such as telescopic and iron sights, and products that enhance or customize a weapon's form or function are prohibited. Meta weapons policy
  • TikTok: guns, gun parts and ammunition are not allowed, and ads must not display or promote the use of dangerous weapons. Holsters, safes and cases are not named either way. TikTok dangerous products policy

An empty holster still has to look like it fits something

Leaving the firearm out is the right call for this category, and it creates a small photography problem. An empty holster can look like a shapeless piece of plastic. The image has to show the retention, the mouth of the holster, the clip and the cant without the thing it holds.

Angle does most of that. Shoot the holster at three-quarters with the mouth tilted slightly toward the camera, so the opening and the trigger-guard moulding read as shapes. A second shot from behind shows the belt clip or paddle, which is half of what a buyer is choosing. On the white-background image, turn the holster just enough that the clip shows in the same frame, so the main image answers both questions. The examples on this page start with an empty kydex holster on slate, and the short clip was made from that still.

Model-specific holsters need your photo

Kydex holsters are moulded to one pistol model, and that is where generation from text falls short. In our test, holster shapes came out generic: a plausible holster, not one cut for a particular frame. Anyone who owns that pistol sees the difference at a glance.

So for anything model-specific, start from a clear photo of your actual product and ask for the background and the light to change, not the holster. A text prompt on its own gives you an illustration of the category. Your photo gives you your product in a new setting.

Safes and cases sell on how they open

Say you sell a biometric bedside safe. The buyer’s questions are practical: how big is it, how does it open, what fits inside, where does it go. Plan a white-background main image of the closed safe, a close-up of the fingerprint reader and keypad, a shot with the lid open showing the foam interior, and a scene on a bedside shelf like the one on this page.

Show the interior empty, or holding neutral items such as a passport and a watch, so the size reads without a firearm. Rifle cases work the same way: open on a table, foam cut-outs visible, latches and wheels in focus. Count the latches and hinges in every result, because it is an easy detail to get wrong and an easy one for a buyer to notice. If the safe comes with a backup key or takes batteries, add a detail shot of those too.

Leather, pouches and slings

Not every holster is kydex. Leather holsters sell on stitching, edge finish and the colour of the hide, all fine detail that a soft source photo loses. Photograph leather in side light so the stitching casts a small shadow, and check every result for stitch lines that wander or change colour.

Magazine pouches and slings are about capacity and attachment. Show how many magazines a pouch holds by photographing it empty from above with the slots visible, and show the belt loop or strap system from behind. For a sling, lay it out flat to show the length and the hardware, then add one scene with it coiled on a range bag. None of this needs a firearm in frame.

Cleaning kits are a flat-lay job

A cleaning kit is a couple of dozen small parts in a case, and the buyer wants to know they are all there. A flat-lay on a workbench mat with every rod section, brush and jag laid out in rows does that better than any scene, and it is what our example shows.

Check the result against your contents list piece by piece; a generator has no way of knowing your kit has exactly eleven brushes. Meta allows holsters, cases, safes and pouches for adults but bans parts and optics, so photos of a scope or a grip belong on your own store rather than in ads, and the gun accessory ad policy guide has the detail.

Frequently asked questions

Will Blurbly generate images that show a gun?

Our examples contain none, and we recommend keeping firearms out of accessory images. The accessory is what you sell, and ad platforms treat a visible gun differently.

Can Blurbly make a holster for my specific pistol model?

Not from a description. Holster shapes from text came out generic in our test, so upload a photo of your actual holster and change the scene around it.

Can I advertise a gun safe on Facebook?

Meta lists gun safes and locking devices among items that can be promoted to people 18 or older.

Can I make photos of scopes or optics?

We didn’t test optics. Meta prohibits ads for optics such as telescopic sights, so any photos you make are for your own store.

Will every image generate and every ad be approved?

Blurbly's content policy restricts sexual content, nudity and deepfakes; it does not ban product categories. The image models behind Blurbly can still decline an individual image, and ad platforms apply their own rules to this category, so nothing here promises that a given image will generate or that a given ad will be approved.
