ONE spring, not 3 as pictured

Review for
SIG SAUER P365 Trigger Springs
The single spring probably fits the P365 as advertised, as it is in a sealed SIG plastic envelope. But why show a picture of three springs, title the item "trigger springs," call it a "kit" and send a single spring?
How does ONE spring comprise a "kit"?

Excellent, Comfortable, Large, Soft Grip, with Secret Compartment

Review for
Magpul MOE-Plus AR15 Gun Grip
The grip that came with my lower was small and of hard plastic.
This Magpul, in gray, is larger -- fills my hand and makes the trigger length of pull better, for me. It's a soft texture, and very grippable.
It has a secret "bonus" -- the bottom has a trap door so you can store the hex keys and small screwdrivers you need to adjust your sights. VERY handy.

Better Pad Your Charging Handle...

Review for
Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 5x Prism Scope
This compact 5x scope is very nice, but to see the whole circle, you must place your eye about 1-1/2" behind the scope.
This means the scope needs to be as far back on the picatinny rail as possible. It means your nose ends up about 1/2" behind the charging handle, which will then bonk you on said nose under recoil.
I'm using the Spitfire 5x on a 300AAC Blackout pistol with 7-1/2" barrel, and full loads with 150 grain bullets punch me in the nose unless I really hold the gun down. Not bad, really, but I wish there was more eye relief.
Secondly, the center dot of the lit reticle is microscopically small, as is the bullet drop compensator ladder.
I do like the adjustable diopter to bring the reticle into sharp focus. Nice.
Comes with two picatinny risers: low and high.
The rubber lens caps are tethered to the optic and to each other, so they don't get lost.
The reticle is black and visible even if the battery dies, and many levels of red brightness when illuminated.
Remove the two screws that hold the top cover on and a Vortex Venom red dot fits on it with no adapters. This is handy considering that 5x is a bit too much magnification for close-in target acquisition.
Overall, a great sight.

Excellent Wireless App, Reliable, Lightweight, Rechargeable, Works in Dicey Light Conditions

Review for
Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph G2
First, the Caldwell iPhone app.
It cannot export data as a delimited Excel spreadsheet format. You can send data as SMS text and email. It would be great to manipulate, sort and print the data from inside a spreadsheet.
Secondly, while the chronograph is stored and carried in a very compact manner and comes in a nice nylon case, it takes too long to set up and break down. I bought a larger nylon bag at Amazon for a few bucks, lined it with 1/2" polyethylene foam slabs. This allows me to keep the lower section assembled. That lower section's friction fit of parts is pretty stiff and takes time and effort to assemble and store. I am more than willing to carry the unit in a larger case if it means setup and takedown time is reduced.
Thirdly, I have access to much better tripods and put away the sad little tripod included with the chronograph. My Manfrotto tripod has three important features that make setting up and adjusting the chronograph easier and faster:
1) It's much sturdier and holds the chronograph rock solid in windy conditions
2) It features a large, sturdy aluminum Quick Disconnect plate that screws permanently into the 1/4-20 mounting hole on the lower part of the Chronograph. The small plastic plate on the included tripod is too small to bridge the molded webs of the lower unit where the 1/4-20 hole is. Thus it wiggles on the tripod no matter how tightly the little plate is attached. My larger (4" long) aluminum plate I use bridges much better and really lets
