Per OpticsPlanet's description, this was supposed to be a brass magwell in black, but the item came uncoated. One would expect an item from Italy to be on the high-end side, but the magwell was shrink wrapped in plastic on a piece of cardboard. Cheap!

I also have the Australian made Boss Components STI brass magwell and it's heftier, half ounce heavier, and less expensive than the Toni systems magwell. Go with that!

I have both and prefer the Springer Precision much better. The Springer Precision is quick and simple to install, the set screw is in the ideal location, it cost less, and it doesn't rattle compared to the Agency Arms.

The Agency Arms is difficult to install because the spring on the base pad side isn't wound 360 degrees at the end. I know this for a fact because I compared it to the Springer Precision spring. When you try to slide the base pad over the Agency Arms spring, it will pop back out and if you're not careful, the sharp end of the spring will get hung up on the base pad and tear up the anodized finish.

Also, the set screw is poorly design and makes the magazine rattle. Not worth the price unless you must have an Agency Arms base pad. There are better quality options out there at a lower price.

Like the previous reviewer, I also have a Sig P320 X5 with a TLR-1 HL light and the pistol would barely fit the holster If you tightened the holster too much, you can't draw the pistol. If it fits loosely, you'll expose the trigger. Also, the thumb-break strap and elastic security strap are constantly in the way when you re-holster, so you'll have to be extra careful.

The pistol mag pouches are too small and will only hold a 15 round and 17 round mags when closed, but nothing bigger.

Overall, good $50 vest, but I would pay $150 for an imported vest.

The advertised 16.1" barrel length was deceiving.

The 16.1" length was measured from the tip to tip with about 1.5" of the barrel inside the upper receiver, so the 15.5" hand guard that I purchased for it was too short. The barrel and thread didn't protrude out of the hand guard.

Don't waste your time and money!

First of all, the kit comes with a proprietary hand-guard, proprietary barrel nut, barrel sleeve, but no barrel nut installation tool or instructions. You'll have to find a tool that will work to tighten the barrel nut without tearing it up.

Second, you'll have to align the index screws on the hand-guard to the barrel nut open slots with the sleeve installed, but that works fine when I hand tightened the barrel nut.

Once I tightened the barrel nut, everything went out of alignment and not timed anymore. I ended up cutting the left and right slots off the barrel nut to get the sleeve to align with the hand-guard screw holes.

First of all, I didn't read the fine print from Midwest Industries website. *Non-Ruger aftermarket receivers and accessories may or may not fit this chassis* and *Not Compatible with aftermarket trigger groups and drop in triggers*. Who would spend all that money to upgrade their chassis and reinstall factory parts?

And yes, non-OEM receivers might not fit or and align properly. The AR grip adapter wasn't chamfered, so the sharp edges will cut your grip fingers. Also, the buffer tube set screw sticks out too far and will also cut the web of your hand. Who designed this chassis?

Overall, this was a waste of my time and my money, so do yourself a favor and get something else. If I wanted to stay stock, I would keep my Ruger 10/22 stock. I also have the Timber Creek 10/22 Enforcer chassis and it was built right. Everything, including aftermarket parts like TacSol X-Ring VR receiver and Volquartsen TG2000 trigger group fit perfectly.

This muzzle brake is very small! It measures about 1/2" wide and 1-3/4" long. I'm using it on my Ruger 10/22, so it worked out, but I wouldn't use it on a 223/556 caliber firearms.

For $1,645 MSRP, you would think you would get perfection. Nope, not with this Trinity Nevada P320 Pirho slide that I bought from OpticsPlanet. First of all, there were tooling and machining marks that shouldn't have been on something this expensive and the PVD finish on the slide only lasted only a few dozen rounds. Also after a few dozen rounds, the front sight flew off. The sight wasn't even pressed in, but it was glue in. Nice try UNLV post-grad engineers!!! To me, this slide has all of Taurus quality at a Staccato price!

On Range Day #1, inserted the magazine and dropped the slide, but the round hung up. I did this a couple of times, but got the same result. Packed up everything and took the pistol home. I looked through everything and discovered that the extractor assembly was bent and caused the extractor to seize up. To be on the safe side, I replaced the entire assembly with the $100 Rival slide complete kit.

On Range Day #2, I inserted the magazine, dropped the slide, the round chambered, and the slide went into battery. Great! I pulled the trigger, the round went off, but the slide wouldn't lock back. The Trinity Nevada came with a recoil tuning kit (Red 12lb, green 14lb, and blue 15lb, with the green installed). None of them worked, so I swapped them out for the DPM 3 springs and 3 plugs combo, but none of them worked and the slide still wouldn't cycle. It was still a single shot pistol. After 100 rounds, I got tired of racking the slide and too
