I have several Holosuns, Sigs, etc. the quality is good. I honestly don’t know how much better people expect. It’s Titanium with a great finish. The QD mound feels sturdy, not as sturdy as a Midwest or ADM, but I’ve never had a problem with it. My battery compartment had a little seal from what I remember. I honestly haven’t submerged my rifle, nor do I plan on it. 3000-4000 rounds thus far and hasn’t lost zero, hasn’t flickered, no issues whatsoever.
It’s a little pricey, but for the quality and features, it’s not bad. Very happy with it this far. I like the clear covers and kill flash being included.
In all honesty though, it’s not significantly lighter than the aluminum version, but for a lightweight build it’s perfect.

I finally tried 2 more barrels. They both work and cycle great with this slide and the suppressor. It turns out it's not the slide, but the Blacklist barrel. For anyone that wants to know, the barrels I can confirm work fine are the Right to Bear threaded and non-threaded, and a Capitol Armory threaded. The Blacklist barrel is about 1/8" larger than all the rest, and basically the extra length causes it to bind. It's clearly marked a G19, but almost feels like a G17 barrel.
Regardless, slide functions great. It was the barrel all along...

First off, the machining on the slide is great. No tool marks that I could easily see. It comes with an RMR plate, so if you're still waiting/on the fence about the RMR, it saves you about $30-40, since it's included. Channel liner was already installed.
Second, with a regular length G19 barrel, everything operates smoothly. Throw in a threaded barrel and you start having problems (at least with my Blacklist barrel). Mouth of slide is machined to pretty tight tolerances, and due to the extra weight of a suppressor (I was using a Griffin Optimus), the barrel doesn't have enough clearance to tilt. I've tried it in another slide (from Right to Bear Arms), and everything works fine.
Either way, I kept the slide and simply decided to use it with a non-threaded barrel. It's good looking (albeit subjective), and really have no other complaints other than the incompatibility with the combo of Blacklist barrel/Griffin Optimus suppressor.

It’s a dark grey color. Doesn’t match any buffer tube I have, including some from SI. Otherwise it’s a castle nut. Works, but if you expect a rich black color, look somewhere else. Threads are ok. Machining looks fine.

First off, I have both. MAXIM PROS: Shorter. Comes with JP already. CONS: not as many buffer options (like H2). Might cause issues if you’re shooting suppressed from short barrel (the backpressure sheared mine completely. JP replaced it, but be aware of it). Now they changed the rod to give it a little more weight, but with a suppressor it really gets slammed around). SB TACTICAL CONS: Slightly longer. PROS: more buffer options. Slightly cheaper if you get both on sale. The Maxim stock is interchangeable with the SB. More heft to it for suppressor use. Most importantly, you can throw a regular buffer spring in there (try that with a Maxim). I’d recommend both, but SB uses standard spring which to me is a huge advantage.

Much better than the mushy stock Glock trigger, but to me it doesn't "feel" as ergonomic. It's got a rather sharp edge to the trigger, so if you use the wrong part of your finger to pull the trigger, it reminds you by digging into you. If you use it correctly, it's a pleasure to shoot. I have it installed on a G27, and I've used it with both the 27 (.40)and the 9mm conversion barrel for the 27. No issues with light primer strikes. The weight of the trigger is also substantially decreased, so that might deter some people from carrying it. Although, if you keep your finger off the trigger I don's see what the problem is...
Installation was kinda of a pain, but if you have any basic gunsmith skills and watch the videos, it's not that difficult, just tedious to change all the springs and parts.

I wanted to convert my 27 to 9mm because 9mm is cheaper, and because I have a 9mm can. The threaded barrel is very nice, accurate, but apparently in very high demand. I waited for mine for over 2 1/2 months. Grab it when it's in stock.

After reading some of the issues people were having with the rail becoming loose, I was a little apprehensive to buy it. I'm now fairly convinced that it was poor installation. This is by far one of the easier rails to install, somewhere between a regular milspec nut and the ones you have to time perfectly using shims.
First, quality is very good. Didn't find any issues with machining. Second, although looks are subjective, I do like the way it looks. Very aggressive with the flares at the muzzle. Third, like I said before, installation was fairly straight forward. I do recommend you watch the videos that Fortis has out about installation. The hardest thing to use is their proprietary wrench, which is uni-directional (so when you're stretching the threads on the upper receiver, you literally have to switch it 6-7 times from side to side).
To get it timed for my barrel/extension, I went up to about 55 ft-lb torque. In the video they use a breaker bar so you don't really know what they go up to, but it certainly is above the 45 ft-lb that they recommend at a minimum.
There is absolutely no play whatsoever of the handguard, and it feels solid. I do like the integrated rails at the front, since I typically bench shoot, it saves me from having to buy a 3-4 slot adapter. It does have integrated QD points although I haven't used them (nor do I plan to since I have a single point attachment to my stock).
Overall, great rail. If there's anything that I would do differently, I woul

I think this is the general consensus for this scope... It's a great value. It gets just a tad blurry at 16x magnification, and usually I just back it out a little and it's fine. The different colors are more of a gimmick than anything, but cool nonetheless. I guess it may make more of a difference for those using it when it's darker outside. Knobs have a great feel to them. Holds zero, on both 223/556 and 300BLK (and I've literally just taken it off with the risers and changed it from one rifle to the next - it just takes a minimal amount of zeroing, but that could be simply the different point of impact of the rifle).
Only thing that I can complain about is how massive it is. Seriously adds some heft to an otherwise lightweight build. I only use it for bench shooting, so I don't care, but it's worth mentioning that it's not small nor light.
Other than that, great optics and great value.

Not much to say other than it's an OEM Glock mag. I'm using it in a G27 40 converted to 9mm with a conversion threaded barrel from AlphaWolf. Magazine works as expected. Good price and fast shipping from OpticsPlanet as always.
