This is hands-down my favorite dot sight — so good, I bought two. First ran it on a Glock 19, then picked up another for my Sig MPX, mounted on a Scalarworks Leap, and it’s been an absolute rock star in both roles.
The ACSS Vulcan reticle is what sets this optic apart. The green chevron gives you precision for distance and fast sight acquisition up close. But that outer circle? It’s a game-changer. It automatically centers your eye, so even if you're slightly off, you know exactly where to correct. It's like having a built-in coach.
Battery life is endless, glass is crisp, and the auto-adjust brightness actually works well — but it’s that reticle that makes me want this optic on every gun I own.

The Timney Alpha Competition Trigger in bronze is a serious upgrade over the OEM Gen 5 Glock trigger — both in performance and appearance. The bronze finish looks excellent, especially paired with other matching controls, but what really stands out is the feel.
Compared to the stock Gen 5 trigger, which has a long, gritty pull with a vague break, the Timney is short, smooth, and crisp. It delivers a true wall and clean break that feels more like a tuned duty pistol or even a competition-ready striker gun. The reset is short and positive, making rapid follow-up shots fast and consistent.
Installation is straightforward, and once in, it transforms how the Glock feels under pressure. If you’re shooting for precision or just tired of the OEM sponginess, this is a night-and-day difference.

The Centennial Defense Systems Extended Control Kit is a great upgrade for my Gen 5 Glock build. The burnt bronze finish looks fantastic and — surprisingly — it matches closely with my bronze Timney Alpha Competition Trigger, which isn’t always a given across brands.
Controls feel crisp and confident. The extended slide stop and mag release offer a noticeable improvement in manipulation without being oversized or snaggy. Everything fit cleanly and functioned perfectly right out of the box.
This kit hits the sweet spot: it looks sharp, feels solid, and enhances control without overdoing it.

I picked up the Arc Division backplate in bronze to match their threaded barrel on my Glock 19, expecting a seamless aesthetic. Functionally, it’s fine — it installs easily, fits well, and does what any backplate should. No complaints there.
But as a cosmetic upgrade, it falls short. Despite being from the same brand and both labeled “bronze,” the backplate doesn’t match the barrel — not even close. It’s a small part, sure, but when you're going for a clean, color-coordinated build, it’s disappointing that two pieces from the same company don’t visually line up.

The Arc Division threaded barrel isn’t just a performance upgrade — it’s a visual upgrade too. The finish is absolutely stunning, giving my Glock 19 a clean, high-end look that stands out without being flashy. Fitment is tight, lockup is smooth, and it dropped right in with no fitting required.
The threaded muzzle opens up options — I’ve got suppressor compatibility without sacrificing reliability. Thread pitch was perfect, and everything runs true. Accuracy has been solid, and the barrel handles both suppressed and unsuppressed fire with no issues.
It looks great, shoots clean, and adds real function to the platform.

Mounted on my Primary Arms 5x MicroPrism, this SLx Mini Reflex Offset Mount is an ideal way to add a secondary sight picture without cluttering your top rail. It’s lightweight, low-profile, and gives me fast offset access without getting in the way of anything else.
It uses the Glock MOS footprint, so you're not locked into one optic — and with an adapter plate, you’ve got a lot of flexibility. The hardcoat anodized finish is clean and durable, and the mount itself holds solid under recoil with no shift.
If you're running a prism optic and want a backup red dot without sacrificing rail space, this is a simple, smart solution.

The FAB Defense Ultimag 30R ran flawlessly in my AR — no feeding issues, no fitment problems, just clean, consistent function. The polymer body feels solid but light, and the transparent window is a nice touch for quickly checking round count.
It locked in tight, dropped free easily, and cycled both supersonic and subsonic .300 Blackout without complaint.

The Raptor SD takes everything great about Radian’s legendary charging handle and adds integrated porting to vent gas away from your face — a must for suppressed builds like mine. It’s been flawless on my .300 Blackout AR pistol, where subsonic and supersonic loads run suppressed and unsuppressed.
The ambi design is intuitive, strong, and fast — no flex, no rattle, just crisp, precise pulls from either side. The gas venting actually works, reducing blowback noticeably under suppression. Machining is immaculate, and the Type III hardcoat anodizing holds up to real use.

The Fostech AR-15 Lite BCG in Nickel Boron is a standout performer. Paired with my lightweight .300 Blackout build, it cycles fast, smooth, and reliably — like a finely tuned engine. The low mass design noticeably softens recoil, especially when matched with a JP SCS and adjustable gas.
The NiB finish is slick, easy to clean, and shows almost no wear even after heavy use. Lockup is tight, ejection is consistent, and the reduced reciprocating mass makes follow-up shots snappy and flat.
If you’re building for control, speed, or just want a carrier that performs above its class, the Fostech delivers.

Installed in my premium .300 Blackout pistol build, the JP Gen 2 SCS completely transformed the recoil feel. Paired with a low-mass BCG and adjustable gas block, it delivers buttery-smooth cycling, zero spring noise, and super flat recoil — even when tuning between suppressed subsonic and unsuppressed supersonic loads.
The included alternate springs gave me the flexibility to dial in the perfect balance for reliability and recoil control. Combined with the Fostech BCG and tuned gas, it makes the rifle feel refined, precise, and unbelievably soft-shooting.
