3-stars for this grip extension personally, because I have large hands (not medium, not X-Large). I find that my pinky finger scrapes on the bottom edge of this extension, which has a rough plastic texture and is annoying. Or, I have to jamb my pinky within the extension. I will have to sand and polish it to fit me better. Without the extension, my pinky is completely off the pistol's grip, if that gives a relative sizing comparison.

I can place my pinky underneath the grip to get a better purchase, but that feels un-natural. As I grab the weapon, my pinky instinctively goes right to the bottom edge of the grip, so I have to either tuck it in, or tuck it under. Thus there is a slight pause to find the best grip for me. So for me this extension isn't the best option. I find that the +1 round extension magazine fits my pinky perfectly, and of course you get another round. If you have smaller hands, this would work well like most grip extensions, and I love them in general. Thus I recommend. I guess I am like the ugly step-sister though, who could not fit into Cinderella's glass slipper.

I suppose in a pinch I wouldn't worry about the feel if I needed to use the weapon, and I get a good trigger pull, even if annoyed by the extension. At least it provides a place for the pinky. Range time however might be a little uncomfortable with this small "jumpy" pistol, and having to figure where to hold that pinky. I may even remove and give them away to someone who fits thi

I purchased a few sets of these for my AR's on recommendation from YouTube channel '704 Tactical'. Sometimes you can use his name as a discount code for Optics Planet products. I have yet to test on anything other than range ammo and they work great so far. My trigger ranges are between 4.5 and 5 lbs with these springs, which lightened things up a bit. I have yet to experience any light primer strikes, but hear that Wolff and others may require the stock springs. Typically I am using stock triggers, nothing special. I like the rounded standard (cheap) AR triggers that come in most lower kits, just lightened a bit. I have an AR Gold also at 3.5 lbs, and you won't get that light, but for $10 you get closer. Otherwise pay $150-200 for the real deal. These springs provide a well-priced option.

I gave 4-stars because they are light and feel great, but may not work as I test with other ammo. I almost expect it, so may run some rifles with, and others with stock springs. However, this is a great "bang for the buck" option if used with ammo it likes, to get you down to a lighter pull range. I really like them in my Varminter which was accurate already, and the trigger pull feels even more awesome now. It would be really nice if JP listed good/bad ammo for these springs so you don't have to spend the cash testing, but for now you will have to check reviews and do research.

I wanted some backups as my 1911 Officer came with only one mag. For $15 you get Mec-Gar quality, and it doesn't break the bank. The nickel finish is nice, and I also picked up a blued version. Both work fine, no probs. Solid mags compared to stock.

I purchased a Mission First Tactical Battlelink Minimalist stock from a LGS, and the packaging said both MIL-SPEC and Commercial. I think they are supposed to circle which model is packaged, but mine was not. Obviously I received the Commercial version and wanted the MIL-SPEC, to keep all of my gear consistent. However I really liked this stock, and hated the rattle from having the wrong/smaller buffer tube.

Enter the Tacfire AR15 buffer tube, Commercial-size, which has predictably tightened up the fit. Actually it was so tight I had to work it a bit. It should loosen over time, so I am not dissatisfied at all by that. At least it isn't rattling like a Commercial stock over a MIL-SPEC buffer tube. This tube captures the buffer detent as you would want. It isn't apparent in one of the pictures here, but is in another.

Great price to cover my mistake, and Tacfire sells a version with endplate choices, a castle nut, the spring and buffer for another $15. Typically I would order the bundle, but you can find better end plates to suit your specific need. Just know that Tacfire has nice bundles to save you even more if you need the entire package.

Accurate scale from 8 oz to 8 lbs which is great for pistol and rifle trigger work. Most firearms fall within this range, and for the price you couldn't expect more. I have firearms with heavier than 8 lb triggers, but I am OK with the manufacturer's estimate for those that fall outside this scale's range. If they are that heavy, such as for DA, it doesn't really matter how heavy it is, at least for me. The sweet spot for triggers is in the 2-4 lb range, and this scale does that well enough. Other reviews confirm its accuracy. Some also mention that the rubber end can slip off your triggers and this is true, but I am getting consistent pulls when the gun is stable and the puller stays put. Not a big deal for a bargain pull scale. Some jig their guns to hold them still and that isn't a bad idea. I get a decent pull using my desk and no jig.

The description says it is accurate to within 2 oz, and if you are that picky, get a digital or more expensive one. When its that light, I like the feel of the pull more than the actual weight. Getting within a certain range is my aim, and this scale can do that well. As titled, "great bang for the buck", and we have probably seen many of these in YouTube videos. Solid product, no complaints for the price range and what you get for $20. It does the job. A must for the home tinker-er!

The band is as nice as pictured and genuine leather. I previously owned a Casio diver's watch with plastic band, and it bothered me, so I wanted a comfortable band. I like the way it looks on my dark skin too, the lighter brown leather band and simple stainless/silver coloring suits my simple style.

I love the stainless styling, cream dial, simple day and date display along with larger numbers. The Indiglo light is very bright in blue, and makes the time very easy to read. Shock resistance is a plus. It is handsome watch to wear in most instances and battery life is rated at 8 years.

Compared to the diver's watch, which is my next consideration, is that this is only water resistant. It is not waterproof. The description seems to indicate that the dial is topped with "a large silver unidirectional bezel" also - the dial does not spin. Simple watch. If you have to save your girlfriend in a rushing river, you will probably lose the watch diving in. That's OK at this price though. Just wear something more if you are GI Joe.

I have worn it since it came in the mail today, I obviously love it. There are a million watches to choose from and I am happy with this one.

I wanted to swap my rifle scope set-ups and after searching through my box of allen wrenches, I realized the Leupold allen wrench is proprietary. It is between 2.5 and 3mm, and between 3/32 and 7/64! Thank God I save allen's and organized the many duplicates I get from multiple installs, but this is ridiculous!!! I see no good reason for this.

Rings are great as advertised and reviewed, but don't lose the allen and mark it like I do to keep "special" tools separate. Lame Leupold, swap these out for standard sizes and stop being silly. I wasted a lot of time trying every allen to find yours. This is the first item I have found in my collection that uses such a proprietary screw, and I have multiple parts from different vendors, and tons of allen sizes. I am sure there are others, but beware.

I have to say I hate companies that do this in general also, I almost wasn't going to buy alternate rings. However, at the price I WILL re-purchase Leupold and keep a special eye on this allen wrench. Then I can put another one of these odd wrenches in another tool box for the next company that tries this. Maybe I will paint this one red, or come up with a system, but his is more work for me for seemingly little reason. Or, maybe for the price, this is what we need to accommodate. Up to you

So many reviews, all very positive - avg grips cost $15-20 (and so many choices!), but this one has options to fit your "size" with larger back straps, finger groove patterns, ambi- thumb rests. For a couple bucks more than others, say that the back- and front-straps cost $5, and they are worth it! Using on a "Star Wars" pistol build, and I love the style and fit for my large hands. I have another grip with an adjustable angle on another pistol build, that has a more aggressive angle than this one, but I like both styles. This one is amore than dequate for the 300BLK it is being used for. Plenty of grip as I wanted. Typical grips are a small for my hands, so I prefer grips with sizing options. This CAA model also has a bottom cap which is the 6th piece, and thus it has a sealable storage compartment

I don't mind paying a few more bucks for quality - when spread out over many rounds, the extra cost is minimal. This grip is comfortable, flexible, stylish and worth every penny. Ask the others! 5 stars as all grips should be... I actually came back to see if they had a tan version, which I do not see here!

Updated review from first since I polished this and it operates more freely. Specifically I sanded the handle portion to smoothen the rough edges, and thus I mostly lost the gun-metal grey finish. I did not sand deep into the crevices, just the rough edges. However I like the chrome, and knew based on the first review that it might end up this way. Now it operates freely (closes all the way without snag), and it feels great (smooth). No more finger-grating, and it only took an hour of sanding with a cheap Home Depot 4-sided hand-sander. It looks great with this unique finish, and works like butter now. I love it, although not ambi- for the price. If you have a Varminter or AR that doesn't necessarily need an ambi handle, this works fine. It is a solid handle, and rounded off it feels and works great. Wish they would have done this at the factory, then added the black-teflon finish. Or, maybe they should try this chromed-out and part-teflon coating as it looks sweet. I sanded the release latch too btw, which works well, solid construction. I lubed it after the sand which probably helped, but it was fine before I did. I also CLP'd the chromed handle with a little heat so it would be coated and resist rusting. One of my favorite handles now, amongst a Phase5 ambi and Raptor ambi - I like variety for mixing things up on my builds
