I've been meaning to post my backpack setup but kept getting distracted by shiny things:
Daniel Defense PDW pistol in 300 Blk
- Aimpoint T2 with Scalarworks lower 1/3 QD mount
- Streamlight TLR8-G weapon light/green laser
- Bobro Engineering Lowrider folding BUIS
- BCM KD4 pistol grip
- D&H 20 rd. 300 Blk specific mags
The pack is a Vertx EDC Gamut 2.0 that was exclusive to OpticsPlanet and is slightly larger than the standard Gamut 2.0 (22" vs. 21" and 28L vs. 25). With the brace closed completely and the pack's laptop sleeve adjusted for the full length of the pack, the pistol fits in easily muzzle down with only a tiny amount printing from the very back of the brace that gets lost in the contours of the pack.
With a liberal amount of swearing properly applied, the pack will accommodate the pistol and a slick plate carrier (Velocity Systems Assault Plate Carrier with API-BZ plates and 3 30 rd. mags in the kangaroo pouch). It's bulky, but not too bad.
I think so. For me 12 o'clock was very important to reduce snagging as the weapon is presented from the pack.
While I greatly prefer momentary activation switches to the click on/click off switching of the original TLR7/8, I decided on the click on/off switch to reduce the likelihood of accidental activation in the pack since it's a tight fit. Given the [extremely limited subset of extremely limited] circumstances under which this weapon might be deployed, the chances of needing to immediately shut off the light are minuscule as compared to the benefits of low-profile switching. Also using the laser as the secondary sighting system, I'd prefer it to stay on until I decide to shut it off. The BUIS is tertiary and only added because the Lowriders are so small there was no reason not to.
Well, this is interesting. Maybe I'm late to the party, but I didn't notice these earlier.
BROWNELLS - BRN-180™ STRIPPED LOWER RECEIVER FORGED
Integrated PIC mount for a folding buttstock in the lower forging. No need for an adaptor or LAW folder.

Not another dime.
To be clear, those will only work with a BRN-180 upper or something like a .22LR upper where the BCG doesn't recoil into the receiver extension. Most people using LAW folders are still using normal DI uppers where the BCG does recoil into the receiver extension, meaning this lower wouldn't work.
Right. But with a standard lower and a BRN-180 upper, you still need a Pic adaptor or a folder adaptor to get the folding. With this, get the BRN-180 upper, throw an LPK in the lower, attach a Pic-compatible brace (for however long that lasts), and rock on.

You all got it wrong: the Russians used pencils to pack gunshot wounds, tampons to write in space, and NASA developed the space pen to penetrate Russian paratrooper armor.
A M300 (or modlite equivalent) mounted at 12:00 with the shrouded tailcap is tough, ambidextrous, and svelte too. It's no taller than a x300, really. It might look odd at first, but it's quite a nice solution for actually having a rifle light, and not hanging off the side
