This is my first pair of Altra shoes and they are quite amazing in design. I’ve always had issues with discomfort in the toe box on my shoes. These definitely fix the problem! Only issue is the sizing is quite small on these. I normally wear a 9 lately in most shoes. I got a 9.5 with these and they still are a little short in length. I’m returning for 10’s and keeping my fingers crossed. I truly hope I can get the right length because everything else is on point!

I searched around for a while for a good pouch for my Vox-S suppressor. I use it primarily on short barrel 5.56, so it gets ridiculously hot. I can throw this bad boy right over the can while it’s still attached, stow the rifle in my bag, and head home. I have zero hesitation when it comes throwing it on a piping hot can. It has yet to show any signs of discoloration or wear from the heat. Highly recommended.

I have three Hiperfire triggers, one of which is the newer version like what's being sold here. I will say they are great triggers in terms of feel and function. I use two of them on AR9's because of how reliable they seem to be for that finicky platform. So far, I've had absolutely zero issues with them reliability or function wise. I give them 4 stars however because they are absolutely the hardest triggers to install that I've used. I've installed about a dozen triggers including Geiselle, LaRue, & Triggertech and they've all gone in in 5-10 minutes, if that. Even my last milspec trigger was easier than this last Hiperfire I installed. If you don't get the hammer assembly clicked in just PERFECTLY, the pin is an absolute bear to get in the receiver. I don't know what it is but the alignment of the hammer pin channel and receiver holes is just very difficult to achieve. Oddly enough, the last one I installed went in without a hitch in about 15 minutes but this last one left a bad taste in my mouth.
All in all, they're great performing triggers, but I don't think I'll buy another simply because of how much of a pain this last one was. Unless you're buying for an AR9, there are plenty of other good options that drop in quite effortlessly.

I have two of these, one in FDE and one black. They're the lightest light body available and still tough as anyone should really practically need. I used one of these along with a Malkoff head and a Surefire tailcap and got myself a Scout-quality light for half the price. Everything of Arisaka's that I have has been top notch and I will continue to buy their products. They have developed quite a nice niche in the community and I am happy to support them!

I love the Solo rails, always have. This one sits on my 9mm Quarter Circle 10 build. The guy and finish are top notch. The machining on this guy and the design make it quite Gucci and rigid at the same time. My only complaint with the SLR hand guards is the top pic rail is a bit sharp on the edges. No matter for me, I just cover it with a magpul rail cover and done. Thanks OP as always giving the best price!

This is kind of funny, but whatever. Optics Planet had a deal going with buying Holosun models and getting free gift cards. I actually wound up getting two different ones with a total of $100 in gift cards. Can't argue with that! Thanks Optics Planet!

I did a lot of research before buying a bcg for my pcc build. This is consistently the one that everyone raves about, and for good reason. I put all premium parts in my pcc, including this beast, and it paid off. This bcg has run flawlessly and was worth every penny. If you're on the fence about spending the extra money, just go for it. This is one part of a 9mm AR that you do not want to cheap out on!

This, along with a JP extra power spring tamed down my BCM 16" Middy nicely. It is much easier to keep on target with the combination. I think these uppers are a little overgassed, but it's quite a nice shooter now. For reference, I also have an AFAB muzzle device. The three items together seem to be a good combination for this system. The buffer has been 100% reliable thus far.

I now have my third of these on the way. I had a regular 24 in my 9mm build and I just had to get the 24e to replace it, because it really is that much better. I originally thought that the 9mm build would lend itself to the regular 24, with its longer pre-travel, and that it would work better for self defense purposes. But, honestly, the creep is just so much more noticeable with the 24 compared to this model that I just had to switch. The reset is also noticeably shorter on this one. I wouldn't say there's grit in the 24 model pull, but it's just a lot more travel.
If you're looking to get a self defense trigger with extra travel to it, I would recommend getting yourself a two-stage trigger like a Geissele SD-C or something along those lines. If you want a super nice single stage, get this model.
I haven't tried the 24c, but it's said to be the best competition trigger out there. For a general purpose gun, I think this model is the sweet spot.
The only downsides to this model in my mind are the fact that it's not compatible with all safety selectors (including short throw models) and that it doesn't come with a straight trigger bow. Otherwise this one is where it's at.

Do your research and you'll find that time and time again, this is the BCG that everyone recommends for a 9mm PCC. This thing is really well constructed. I'm still in the middle of my build, but I have no doubt it will perform very well. Optics Planet had the best price for sure, especially with a 10% off coupon.
