This article: https://www.gunsandammo.com/editorial/ngsw-sig-sauer-us-army-contract/457100 gives the US Army barrel length requirement of 6,000 rounds, and SIG claiming 12,000 rounds for their...

Regarding the optic, I went back to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7NLMU1JZkY

They don't actually tell me what the optic weighs, and I couldn't find it anywhere else. But they do say...

For recoil management, I would follow the maxim that "If it moves, make it lighter, if it doesn't move (much), make it heavier."

So, the following are usually good from a recoil mitigation...

Following with interest. I always had a soft spot for the SCAR platform. With the nonreciprocating charging handle change, I might actually get one.

Those exist. Usually called "+0" baseplates. E.g. https://tarantacticalinnovations.com/0-base-pad-for-glock-9-40-oem-magazines/

Competitors like them because they add weight to the mag so it drops...

I think it's season dependent. Reed and Malloy went to the clamshell for Season 4 and later, per: https://revolverguy.com/fighting-leather-clamshell-holster/

Anytime.

You probably noticed, but he lists three variations in that article, omitting the concealment requirement, omitting the turn (No turn, it's a Vice Presidente), or having the string after...

In the Jan/Feb 1979 issue of American Handgunner, Jeff Cooper describes the setup as "three I.P.S.C. Option targets are placed ten meters distant, three meters apart".

Ref:...

What are you looking for in a stock?

At this point, I'd be pretty tempted to grab the SIG factory buffer adapter:...

It was mostly a thought to deal with the snag problem. If you're optic doesn't snag, then I think that's better. I'm a big optic user, and I figured that if the optic was a problem, having a laser...

What about a crimson trace laser on the P365 in the pocket?

From personal experience tuning guns and sometimes competing with them, my first thought is that the most recoil reduction is going to be achieved by putting a really aggressive muzzle brake or...

The current plan (for what that's worth) is to issue the NGSW carbine and MG to combat specialties only. Others would keep their M4s.

I think the rifle can take it. SAAMI spec on .277 Fury is max pressure of 80,000 psi. Plus, SIG's entrant has the shortest barrel of any of the three (now down to two) finalists, and all designs have...

I don't think very long unless the Army did something profoundly stupid in the project. Glock's challenge went nowhere.

We're already down to two contenders anyway: SIG and TrueVelocity/LoneStar...

The way they released it makes me suspect they've won.

If I was an aggressive marketer and wanted to recoup my losses, I would have released versions in .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor with 16" barrels and...

SIG has announced that they're releasing a civvie version of their NGSW entrant. https://www.sigsauer.com/mcx-spear.html

Initial model is 13" suppressed model in .277 Fury (6.8x51mm). "First Run...

I think (but haven't done any kind of study on this) that some of the MPX problems lie with ammo, and people not understanding the MPX. For Prod/CO guns, or blowback PCCs, a lighter powder charge is...

Sweet. Is that factory 9mm in the PCC?

I've got a comparison video to make too, because I wonder how my MPX PCC compares to my race carbine with all the go-fast parts, but that's going to have to...

I would add (similar to 1) outdoor ranges with limited rifle capabilities, either due to berms or due to distance available or both. Which leads to a lack of rifle matches, which means you need (2)...

Thanks for posting this. Just who I was hoping to hear from. And that seems to fit with what I've read elsewhere.

I hope you enjoy the daylights out of yours. I don't think the Alien is for me...

Yeah, it’s just one step forwards (and backwards). I kinda want to get one and play with kydex for it, but it would be hard to do retention holsters with the way back mount.

Frame mount that puts the dot over the back of the slide: https://www.evergladesammo.com/eg-rts2-way-back-scope-mounts.html

Nice of them to sponsor someone. Are there videos of him shooting it somewhere?

Fair point, re: side of the ocean. IPSC rules mean the lack of 140mm magazines isn't a problem in Prod optics. Do they actually have the 170mm mags for open over there?
Being in America, it doesn't...
