Sailor from United States, MI Public Profile
In My Own Words:
I've handled firearms since I was a youth. While hunting isn't my passion I do enjoy shooting and now that I've retired I am building up my own small collection of firearms and accessories.
I am also a sailor and as of summer, 2025, will be living onboard my 27' Com-Pac sailboat with my border collie, Badger.
I bought this sling for carrying my FPC. Originally, iI thought I would primarily use it in its two point configuration, but I am finding that I really like the one point setup for the carbine. For a long hike where the gun doesn't need to be readied rapidly, the three point makes a convenient way to carry the FPC safely and out of the way.
The sling is well crafted and should last through years of regular use.
It is very easy to install once you have a crush washer, which isn't supplied with the compensator. Properly aligned, it tames the vertical recoil noticeably, which results in an increase in the horizontal recoil, but that makes sense. The redirected energy has to go somewhere! Clean looking and compact, it works like it is designed to work.
I installed this grip on my M&P FPC. Not only is it comfortable and stable but matches the look of the rest of the rifle nicely. I definitely recommend this grip.
Out of the box, the Double Tap was impressive. Very "tactical looking" and all of its controls are placed for intuitive operation.
The optic is easily mounted onto the top rail of my FPC, but here is where it lost one star from me. When folding the FPC, it soon became apparent that the oversized mounting knob wouldn't clear the top of the chamber area of the rifle, which led to me having to move the optic further forward on the rail. It's totally not a game changer as i do intend to mount a magnifier behind the Double Tap anyway. However, if i preferred to keep it mounted further back on the rail, I would have to remove it or move it every time i folded or unfloded the FPC. Not a very convenient thing to have to do. I am considering replacong the knob with a wingnut or other fastener that will allow the sight to clear the chamber top.
The optics are very nice and having the option of either red or green dot is a plus. The laser works well also. Today I will head to the range to sight it in and test everything out under fire. I am expecting to be pleasantly satisfied with the operation of the Patriot Optics Double Tap.
The item comes very securely packaged, which was impressive. The optic is very nicely constructed and easy to operate. The mounting knob is a bit large and poses a mounting location issue where it interferes with the body of the FPC when folded if mounted too far back on the rail. I do intend to add a multiplier that should eliminate this issue. Also, making the knob so it could be switched to the other side would also correct the interference issue. Or one could add a smaller nut or wing nut to replace the knob. The flip up caps work well and hold the caps up and away from the optics securely. All in all, it's a great 1X optic that I am sure I'll enjoy for years on my FPC.
