I love this grip so much that i have paid the absorbant price for two of them. This is a fullt customizable grip, and there is. skmewhat kf an aftermarket. You can change the sides independently and also the back making for a superior grip. i use lime a different back and one side. its awesome, the comor is also to my liking. The fcu just drops right in siper easy.

After further consideration, I'd say this one is dedinitely worth it if you understand what you're getting and you have the cash to spend.
Pros - In spec, super slick, properly staked, wonder metals, full mass
Cons - Expensive
This has seen like in four different barrels stainless steel, CHF, hand lapped, 5.56 and .223 Wylde. All fired without a hitch. Unfortunately, all of these barrels claim to be properly gassed, so no real way to say how much of a beating they can take from round to round, except. The Super Duty products feature this BCG as well and I would say that they seems over gassed as in over gassed, maybe it's due to the lubricity of this bolt. You can run an H3 with the Super 42 Spring in an 11.5 without a can and get more than positive ejection. In a 16 inch they clean up nice and easy. In an 11.5, they seem like any other non phosphate BCG.
So, why is it worth it? Well, you'll have to take Gs word for it that all of these wonder metals are what they say they are. If so, they'll last as long as G says they will. It's definitely as smooth and non abrasive as they say they are. So, you would be getting a super slick, super hi-tek wonder BCG that will probably outlast you. If that's important to you. This is worth it. If not, and a nitride BCG is good enough, then it's not worth it, not even close.
In my experience, albeit, limited, I can't say I've noticed a meaningful difference between this and and a nitride BCG. I actually think the nitride might be a litt

This model is great. I do think it is a little too expensive. I do like it better than that weighted and xcarry grips since you can remove the sides and get palm swells etc. Of course, this just increases the cost on an already super expensive grip. Dont get this confused with a classic sig grip as this is not it and in no way compares to them except that its alloy. The classics are far superior, as is the fit and finish of the P226/7/9.

This slide and sight combo are excellent. The optics is clear and when you're heading it, you don't notice any tint. The dot is a fine circle with no distortion. I've used it in a competition and had no issues. When I first got it, I took it off and bought the shroud for it, but or it back in with the wrong screws from a Romeo1. Eventually it feel off during shooting, hit a shooter in the forhead and chipped the top corner of the glass. It still held zero and still worked in that competition with no distortion. Dot is still a fine circle with no issues. Since it has suppressor height sights, it was still usable even though the optic jettisoned off. It's obviously not as tough as an RMR, but the slide with the optic cost almost as much as an RMR and the optic window is also bigger. You want this slide with an RMR, good luck. Go to Sigs website and buy the new optics ready slide for 350 and get an RMR and sealing plate from wherever you get them. 850 bucks later you're in business. Otherwise stick with this, the shroud is !ike fifty bucks if you want it, and you'll have a solid optic and s!ide. Use the correct screws you probably won't have a problem. Enjoy. Btw, I have a Romeo1, Romeo2,Romeo1 Pro, Romeo4h,Romeo5, Romeo8t, Eotechs, DPP, and in the same lighting conditions and level of sleepiness for me, they all look the same. The are no triangle or any of that stuff in any of those optics. If I do see something other than a circle that is consistent across all optics and that

This is an indifferent review. I cannot write a review for this product because the one i received did not have anything but the upper. No trigger or adapters. I caj that the stock virtus trigger is good, but not a G. The 11.5 itself is a good upper runs well, but, but not with low powered 223.

This is a great trigger. It really is far better than even the match lite duo. It's SSA all the way. Don't let anyone tell you that you have to go through the drama of removing the safety to install it. Just remove the detent and spring so you can rotate the safety freely.

Pros: Accurate, nice balance, both sets screw places have dimpling, reliable (no issues with spacing or anything)
Cons: Expensive, Out of Stock
This is sub-MOA with match ammo, easy. Definitely on par with Wilson Combats old Recon medium profile barrels if not a little better.
Aside from the stock barrels here on Optics Planet, you can also go through Centurion direct, which I don't recommend due to current conditions, as in they are fully out of stock, and you can backorder here. If you need custom options, then ordering direct from them is the way to go. You can get a pinned GB, feed ramps polished, pick muzzle devices, etc. Also, they throw in what seems like a simple handwritten thank you, maybe it's just script type, but it's a nice touch. Also, their customer service is responsive and open regarding it's stock. They also ship super fast. I'll probably update my review as I get more and more rounds through the barrel. But top notch barrel and customer service from Centurion.

This barrel is outstanding.
Pros:Â Accurate, Regularly stocked, not the most expensive, 1:7 twist, heavyweight
Cons: heavy, chrome lined if you don't like that
This is the most accurate chrome lined barrel that I've ever shot., and I have shot two separate criterion .223 wylde barrels. This thing is sub-minute all day. With match 75 & 77 grain . 223 and 5.56 this can turn in sub . 50 moa groups. I wish DD made this in 16 inches, id definitely buy it. It really doesn't feel that heavy to me, but I do go to the gym from time to time. But if it's heavy, a lightweight rail would be a good idea like a BCM rail. If your used to a 16 midlength govt profile barrel, yeah this is a pound heavier, you may want to stay in the 16 inch barrel length range.

This is a duty grade barrel.Â
Think of it as a Socom concept barrel in 223 Wylde and not 1:7 twist. It's a true heavy barrel (thiccc). It's accurate and it feels a little overgassed based on my ejection patterns. I did run it with an H2, Super 42 H2 (no noticeable difference with a standard h2), and Vltor A5. This did soften it up a bit, with the A5 doing the best job, but ejection on full powered ammo is still a 2 o clock proposition with low powered ammo like PMC ejecting around 3:30-4. I have not run steel through it.
It gives about 3 o clock ejection on PMC Bronze and 2 ish o clock on IMI 193 with a standard carbine buffer. Definitely MAO capable with the right ammo. BCM and Rosco barrels seem gassed better. In shooting a bunch of rifles I haven't ever had to consider an H2 buffer, even on some carbine length gas systems. I'd probably actually buy a Socom barrel over this one if it were cheaper since this one seems potentially over-gassed, which defeats one benefit of the mid-length system and the Socom had a 1:7 twist. I have had no problems with headspacing this using a BCM BCM or Griffin Enhanced BCG.
If you don't need a heavy barrel, I wouldn't buy this one. I haven't really had an AR barrel that can't shoot MOA (and this one is no more accurate than other heavy barrels that ive shot, in fact it showed the least amount of accuracy potential of the heavy barrels I've shot when doing accuracy testing) with 75/77 grain ammo. I'd personally go stainless or maybe the

Pros: Ambi mag release, works, no modificatuoj to gun frame.
Cons: Works poorly, if at all, with BAD lever or similar devices, works poorly with maritime bolt catch, really close to standard bolt release. I believe they are on the same vertical plane.
I would only reccomend this to those that arent going to try and incorporate other ambidextrous controls ontonthe left side of their rifle and who will train or orwctice with it.
This is a solid ambi mag release as i. It works for its intended purpose. However, its location is pretty ummm inconvenient. It does not appear dewigned to work with any other ambi like accessories that ive used. This literally butts right up against the maritime bolt catch/release and i believe a BAD lever would run directly over top of this device. I know peoole dont like Troy, but i would use theirs. Perhaps because they have a BAD lever imitation, they designed their mag release to work with similar devices.
