Sal Cappuccino from United States, NC Public Profile

The Benchmade 176 SOCP Dagger is a single purpose blade for self-defense, and it does the very well. Although long, its thin, lightweight profile (just over 2 oz) makes it barely noticeable yet feels rock-solid in hand, with fast and secure deployment with ergonomic finger ring.

The double-edged dagger point is razor-sharp out of the box and perfectly suited for its purpose—fast, penetrating thrusts. It carries discreetly with the included low-profile sheath, that can be threaded through MOLLE or put in a pocket. The clip retains on draw with 0 failures.

The only things I’m not happy with are price, which I knew that going in, and the choice of steel. In my opinion, it should have been made with S30v, not 440. Also, I bought the version with the trainer, which I regret. For me, it was unnecessary but if you’re worried about getting cut then maybe it’s for you.

If you’re looking for a reliable last-ditch defense tool built in the USA with Benchmade’s quality, this is it.

I recently installed the CMMG MK4 .22LR Barrel Kit on my BCM AR-15 upper and it completely transformed my plinking sessions into awesomeness. The 9.2” M4-profile barrel with its 1:16 twist and salt bath nitride finish delivers impressive accuracy, easily grouping tight with standard .22LR ammo and stabilizing everything from cheap bulk packs to high-velocity rounds.
Building a dedicated .22LR upper was straightforward thanks to the included barrel collar and quality construction, and it runs flawlessly on standard AR lowers without the headaches of a typical conversion kit.
Recoil is virtually nonexistent, making it perfect for extended range time or introducing new shooters, and the 1/2x28 threading pairs beautifully with suppressors for that satisfying quiet experience.
Whether you’re training affordably or just want hours of reliable fun on the cheap, this kit is a game-changer that feels like a premium dedicated .22 rifle while keeping your 5.56 setup intact.
Highly recommend

I do really like it. I have them on both Elcans: 1.5-6x (.308) and 1-4x (5.56). I like them for two reasons: faster target acquisition since there’s no eye relief and easier when using with NODs. That said, the Elcan is perfectly fine on its own, so it’s definitely not a necessity, but I like it.

Bought the E-10 and O-24 for my Razor. They fit perfectly. Solid lockup when closing so they won’t easily/accidentally pop open. They also won’t come off of the scope unintentionally because they take some effort to slide them on. Just make sure you have them in a flipped opened position you like before you wiggle them on. Otherwise you’ll be doing the process more than once. The price is reasonable.

After years of having, and still loving, the Wheeler FAT wrench on my bench, I bought this to put in my range/travel bag. It is so handy and so fast since the torque specs are preset. It also has more options than the FAT wrench does with bits and an extender. I love having both but if I were to get one, the Stix would be the one

I’m a big fan of the Wilcox mount. It’s highly adjustable for all types of face shapes and eye positions. I use this mount on both my Team Wendy helmet and my Crye Nightcap. It works great on both but the Nightcap requires a shroud to make this work with it. The only downside is how expensive it is. There was a time when a buddy of mine bought a second PVS-14, he bought the knockoff/airsoft version of the Wilcox mount. It was a real PoS. Unless you are on a very tight budget i would not scrimp. The NV game is unfortunately very pricey

Optics Planet had a USED model of the SF tailcap/light switch for about forty dollars off the regular price. I thought that it would be functional but maybe marked up. Nope. It looked fine but tape switch jack was clearly damaged and didn’t work. I tried it on 4 different scout lights and with 3 SF cables and 1 unity cable. None of them worked with it. When I contacted OP about it they said ‘used, not returnable’. Now I have an over priced piece of junk. I have no idea what the previous owner did to damage it but I’m shocked that it looks perfect but doesn’t work. Very disappointed in OP for selling a product that wasn’t tested or they knowingly sold a non-working part. DO NOT BUY USED! That said, I already own 2 of these tail caps and they have been great. Having the redundancy of a pad and a physical button is the only way to go, in my opinion. Plus that redundancy allows for it be moved and used on firearms without moving your cable system

This is my go to .22 ammo. I shoot it 99% of it suppressed out of a Ruger Charger with 6” volquartsen barrel & DA Mask, MarkIV with SiCo Sparrow and a DD 10.3 (5.56) with CMMG conversion. Near perfection on feeding and cycling. The action and steel plate hits are louder than this ammo when suppressed. I hit steel all day from 25-60 yards with this CCI standard velocity

It’s a fantastic little tool that stowaways nicely into the B5 systems buttstock pad. It weighs next to nothing and takes up no extra room. I don’t know if I’ll ever have a need for it, but if the situation arises I’ll be ready

This is threaded in the European 13.5X1LH Thread Pitch, not the American standard 1/2x28. The threads aren’t meant to go all the way to the top. This thread pattern is functionally and aesthetically better than 1/2x28. Especially due to the left hand threading not rotating looser with the right handed rotation of the projectile. Plus it’s OEM so you can’t beat that. Just make sure your piston is 13.5x1LH
