Picked up this unit and was not disappointed. As expected, the German glass is exceptionally clear and makes the zoom feel higher than just 3x. I could even see the .308" holes in my target from 100 yards away, this blows away budget glass by a long shot. The reticle is surprisingly fine, perhaps slightly too fine for what this optic is.
That leads into the lows, which admittedly are more like nit picks. The optic has a night vision mode, even though prism sights and NODs really don't mix. The base is simply mediocre, and will come loose with the provided wrench. For the price, it would have been nice to come with a QD mount. Especially since there are no aftermarket options. The battery life is pretty short, but it does use cheap batteries so it's not that big a deal.
All together, I still feel this is a great optic, with terrific glass and a nice compact size. I always enjoy using it, and I think you will too!

I bought this brake due to it's promising compromise of features, plus the convenience of a pre-drilled hole for pinning and welding on a 14.5" barrel. This design quickly became a favorite. I've used a lot of good brakes, but they tend to be blasty and have large fireballs. This design largely avoids fireballs, and the concussion is much more mild to me than designs. Only a small one localized to the sides. Watching friends shoot it I didn't see fireballs like you usually get with muzzle brakes. I also appreciate the fact that the bottom is actually closed so it's less likely to throw up dirt and debris when prone or mounted on something. I've tried a lot of brakes, comps, and flash hiders and most are largely mediocre or interchangeable. I believe Precision Armament hit on a great idea with this unique design and it's become my go-to recommendation for AR's and other semi-auto rifles!

Personally, I feel the standard grip module on the P320 is really lacking, so I began trying out all the options. The factory grip is too round, and doesn't really lock in to your grip under recoil. Sig's X-five is better, should have probably been the standard grip honestly. Still, for me it's not *quite* right. Also it's not compatible with older mags, which is bewildering.
I tried the Wilson, which seemed nice enough. The backstrap is way too narrow unfortunately, lots of twisting under recoil. In my experience the more tapered and contoured a handgun grip, the worse it performs when actually shooting. Square-ish grips always help me lock in under recoil, preventing rotation or excess flip. Which is much more important to me than feeling 'ergonomic'.
I say all this cause this grip is very square-ish, which may not feel as great just handling it, but finally kept my P320 on target for easy follow ups with my 357 slide. The texture is just right as well, and the picatinny rail is spot on. This module is exactly how I like my grips on a traditional handgun. It does come with an extended mag release, however be warned it's a proprietary design.
I've had zero issues, and as a bonus, this module DOES accept 'gen 1' P320/250 magazines! Such a well thought out piece, buy with full confidence.

I have an old cheapie AR that mainly rides in the truck, it's got an A2 fixed handle upper since I got that for free. I bought the lower 1/3 style to go with a Romeo 7 dot sight. To be honest, I didn't expect much since a lot of goosenecks wobble pretty bad. Luckily, PRI seems to have solved all that nonsense, as this gooseneck is much more sturdy than what I used to see back in the late 90's/early 2000's. Speaking of that time period, the instructions were a total blast from the past and featured an old Bushnell Holosight prominently.
Anyways, PRI really beefed up the transition on this mount and added some stabilizers to the left and right. I also appreciated the big notch in the mounting screw to allow for final tightening with a screwdriver turned sideways. In my experience finger tight basically means it's not tight, so it's much appreciated. With my particular red dot, the iron sights are in the lower 3rd as advertised allowing for a pretty clear view and a nice heads up shooting stance, just like I wanted.
Sighting in went really quick, and quick offhand shooting gave fist sized groups at 25 meters, honestly better than I was expecting. Performance identical to my friend's AR with a dot bolted directly to a flat top upper who was shooting beside me. The extra material and design work seems to have paid off. I know this setup is a rather niche application these days but if you've got an older style upper I wouldn't waste time with any other mount and just grab this on
