Wish it was slightly bigger. It works but is a little stiff.
Much easier than our old M9 safeties for sure.
FWIW I have small hands.
My understanding is the FCD Acro plate is the same as the TD plate; not sure if there are dimension changes with FCD RMR plate.
New to the MOS plate system and wanted to check. Is a very slight gap between the plate and front and rear of the slide normal?
Tried the Acro CHPWS plate and TD plate and both seem to have it,...
My G43 is my deep concealment/NPE gun in a phlster enigma.
10-8 sights
Vickers Slide stop
SCD
For all other needs I go to my G19 in a Tenicor Velo.
Whether intentional or not, the mounting system basically makes it so that optic installation will have to be at the armorer level.
A data point I found re: milspec trigger vs cassette triggers with popped primers:

I am curious how the KE Arms Rekluse triggers would perform; they...
Just got 3 slides I sent to LTT back - looks great. 4 week turn around.

I have pretty bad vision (-5.25, -5.50) so curved prescription lenses don't work for me without significant distortion. Neither do the inserts that the Army uses in their APEL certified eye...
I had Ban Tang reprofile a Spyderco P'Kal's blade down to 2.5 inches. Neat package.
Looks like LT is going to offer MOS cuts for Gen 2-5 slides:

Been looking for someone to do this for my Gen 3 slides for sometime...
Hernias as so incredibly common in the general population it would be hard to prove that AIWB could be a cause.
Could it be:
The hernia was already present and it was just a coincidence that...
Basically you want a setup you can access a magazine with your support hand in any position.
Right now I run a Velocity Systems 5.56 Placard for my prone and kneeling reloads, and then use my...
I've been always a little suspect about the Matech sight. I can never get as good a sight picture with the Matech as I could with the M16a2; not sure if it's the aperture or the sight radius that...
Technically per the TC Staging or pre-positioning magazines off body is not authorized, but it happens all the time. Also a good way to get rocks/dirt/debris into the magazine, which is probably the...
What’s interesting is that the old M16a1 alt-c target seems to have hold unders built in, but I’ve never found the source to support that or history of the target....
I actually do this - helpful this particularly if you can work your speed reloads and your transitions on the range. I use the Alt-c target...
The new Qual (-40) has been in use for 2 years and has been the standard at BCT and unit qualifications.
Paper qual (Alt-C) is no longer used except for validation when a qual range is not...
Forgot to add - monopod the magazine on the ground during prone unsupported. It works, is allowed, and doesn't cause malfunctions - I think Pat Rogers told us that back in the late 2000s.
I teach preliminary marksmanship instruction for my unit.
Aside from shooting fundamentals, the new Army qual forces the Soldier to be more familiar in both how their weapon works, and how their...

FWIW NGSW continues to be on the latest Army budget...
I got a TA-02 to replicate the TA31s we are issued in my unit, mainly because I didn't want to deal with the tritium dying.
It is a little heavier (2 Ozs) than a TA31.
Reticle brightness can...
Any thoughts of Johnny Glock's Vex shoe and + connector setup?
Looks like FN is releasing a 6.5 x 43mm cartridge, which came from the AMU developed .264 USA cartridge.
Stretched receiver to accommodate the longer cartridge but lighter than 8 lbs.
Steel...
I do this as well with my T1 and 3x-c magnifier on Larue mounts.
I do sometimes wonder if it's less shift but rather the magnification that is allowing me to be more accurate/consistent with my...
