Purchased the slide release for my second G43x thinking it would be the same as the original version of this on my first G43x. When it arrived I was surprised to see a design change. At first, I thought it was a defective item but upon checking Tyrant's website, it showcased the 2nd gen slide release. This 2nd gen extends out just a bit more than the original and functions much smoother. Your thumb has more surface area to grab and uses less effort to push down on the release. This is a huge upgrade from the original version. I will be purchasing another gen 2 of this slide release to replace the original one on my first G43x as well. Great product from Tyrant, highly recommend.

There are tons of holsters for the G43x mos w/TLR7 sub and they are mostly plain and boring. Just 2 pieces of kydex slapped together. I was looking for something more stylish that had good retention and functioned well. Im glad to have found this C&G holster. It is by far the best looking holster for this set up and it has great retention! There is a very audible click as the light snaps into place. I like my retention bit looser so I backed out the screw just to where I preferred it. You can crank the screw down for very secure retention if desired. There are other much more expensive holster options out there but they won’t have as much value and style as the C&G.

I wanted to use a larger and longer optic on my 10.5" pistol because smaller red dots look out of place on longer barrels. This unit was very affordable at under $150 and had the 30mm lens plus a QD lever for the rail attachment. The flip up lens covers are also another great touch. The dot itself can be adjusted for illumination and is clear and crisp. The casing is very sturdy and robust, although the unit is slightly heavier than other compact optics. I would've given this product 5 stars but the unit I received had a starburst crack on the inside of a lens. This was disappointing since I've have great experiences with other Holosun products. So I did end up returning unit to exchange for another 402D. Hopefully the exchanged unit won't have a defect. Still I recommend this red dot as a great option for the budget minded.

This has to be the smallest and lightest red dot sigh ton the market. I was pleasantly surprised how small this unit was upon unpackaging. I have several other Holosun red dots and wanted to add this one to my 7.5" AR pistol. My pistol had the Vortex Sparc which had the single red dot and the annoying rubber covering with lens covers. This Holosun has the red dot and circle reticle which I think is far superior than a single dot. This unit is also smaller and lighter than the Sparc. Another great option on this Holosun is the QD lever to attach to the rail. The Sparc only has a screw that needs to be adjusted everytime it's removed which was very annoying. The flip up lens caps on this 515 is a great addition and very easy to manipulate. The battery tray and dials are easy to use and unit is simple to sight in. It's well made and great quality and an incredible value at just around $200 (cheaper with discounts.)

I was debating this PA 6x scope versus Vortex's which is at the same pricepoint and both are made in the same factory. The choice was made easier by picking the ACSS reticle of this PA scope. There's not a better reticle on the market in my opinion. The horseshoe and chevron make target acquisition very quick and simple, acting like any red dot optic. Another great option on this scope is the reticle can be lighted using a dial range from 1-11x illumination. This is great for bright daylight backgrounds. This gen3 version is shorter than the gen2 making it a bit more compact. The unit is very sturdy and well built; the casing seems solid and durable. The dials are easy to adjust and very simple to use. A few minutes of studying the functions of the reticle's markings and you're ready to use. The glass quality is outstanding, super clear and crisp. Another positive is the lifetime warranty from PA on this gen3 model. You can spend $1000s on high end scopes that don't have the same options as this one. You can't beat the quality and ease of use on this scope for the price. I highly recommend this scope for the novice or gun hobbyist who doesn't have a bottomless wallet and loves great value.

This is my second Vism soft pistol case. I was extremely satisfied with my first case that I purchased another one for my 3rd & 4th AR pistols. The case is well made and holds 2 pistols securely with a padded divider in between. The pouches on the front give tons of room for extra mags, straps, or any other accessories. The zippers and buckles are sturdy and I believe will last a very long time. You really can't beat the price of these bags. I high recommend!

Finally there's a snake bore cleaner tool that is compact and easy to use. No more are the days of clumpy snakes stored in ziplock bag after each use. RA has made an integrated case, handle, and snake all in one. The outer cover is soft rubber that is turned inside out to uncover the case and snake. The snake just uncurls out of the case and then the lead weight is then led thru your barrel. Once thru, attach weight to notch in the case which then becomes a handle to allow the snake to be pulled thru your barrel effortlessly. Once done, just curl snake back up inside the case then turn rubber cover back over and you have original package again. The product is well made and very intuitive to use. The best part is being able to store the snake inside the case itself. Great compact tool!

This is one of my new favorite braces on the market. I have the Kak brace and other SB Tactical braces. My previous fav was the SBPDW which I have on a couple of my pistols. They are very sturdy and look great, but you sacrifice weight for the adjustability. I was debating on the SBA3 or the Tailhook3 as the next options and decided to save money by picking the SBA3. The Tailhook is almost twice the price at $200. You can find the SBA3 on OP with a coupon for around $110+. I'm very impressed with this brace. It does come with a milspec buffer tube, and you'll need to use the existing castle nut and end plate from your current pistol or purchase new ones. The brace fits tight on the tube with only a slight bit of wiggle side to side which is barely noticeable. The best part is the ability to adjust the brace which makes it behave like any stock. The brace is extremely lightweight but built well. The cheek rest is wide allowing plenty of room. The QD sling mount is a great touch. I now have several of these braces on my pistols and will most likely use these on all future builds as well.

Magpul was my go to wrench before Real Avid came out with this amazing tool. The issue with magpul's wrench is the closed loop for the castle nut portion. This forced the removal of the stock/brace before removing the castle nut. Problem solved with RA's wrench. The tool is very solid and robust, and is surprisingly heavy but in a good way. The handle is very ergonomic and fits in the hand well. The tool itself is very thick, especially where the castle tool portion is. The castle nut prongs are very solid and large so there's no worry about them breaking. I was able to remove a staked castle nut using the Real Avid vise block and this wrench with very little effort. The wrench is built for maximum leverage so that less force needs to be exerted when using this tool. There are also 3 hammerheads that rest in the handle, but can be removed and placed on the back flat part of the wrench to use as a hammer. My wrench must be a newer model because the hammerheads are round instead of rectangular as with the picture on OP's site and the first generation wrench. The best part is this wrench looks COOL!

For the price you really can't beat this vise block. It's the only block out there that adjusts to magwells and securely fits without any wiggle room. The block is made of very solid and robust plastic, but it feels like there's a metal core. It's very very solid. The red knob at the bottom is easily adjustable to move an internal pin up or down thereby spreading the upper "flaps" outward to fit in any magwell. With this securely inside your ARs well, there is absolutely no budging or play whatsoever. It has made armoring work super simple. I would say this is by far the best AR vise block on the market today and I highly recommend it. For the price it beats Magpul's block by far.
