      @thecontemporarygentleman 19 днів тому

      They did pretty well. The only issue that came up was actually a casualty of me not knowing there was a housing update. It was the first update that came very early. So early, most units came standard with the upgrades already done. However, I had unit #66 and was unaware of the update/upgrade. After the field exercise, I sent them in for repair/upgrade at no cost. The upgrade fixed the issues. However, the MH-1s haven't been beat up to the same level as before, so waiting for another opportunity. The primary issue was the screws that hold the housing together were backing out. This meant the contacts weren't connecting and one tube wouldn't come on until I tightened the screws. Part of the upgrade is a new housing that simply uses different screws. So far, everything is good. It was unfortunate as all I did was basically validate their design change by uncovering problems they already knew about and had already addressed. Sorry for the clunky rundown. I hope it was helpful.

      It was only 50 rounds and not in quick secession for it to get hot. For a self defense shooting, no, not that many rounds. For practice, 50 minimum, probably 100 is ideal. So it is a little bit of an issue. Some nights I put 250 rounds through my primary pistol. If I'm to make this my primary pistol, that won't work for me very well.

    • @thecontemporarygentleman
      @thecontemporarygentleman Місяць тому

      I can't comment because I haven't even seen a boss XE in person. That said, I don't believe the Boss is holographic, so you'd lose the benefits of that. However, I think the Boss costs $4K which is what the Raid XE does by itself. However, going back the other way, you just don't have the features of the Raid with the Boss. I think the Boss is great for saving space and keeping a low profile. Also, you can have two zeros which is likely the greatest benefit.

    • @thecontemporarygentleman
      @thecontemporarygentleman Місяць тому

      I'm finding there is always a balance/trade off. There could be some compensation, but that depends on ammo selection. I use the ring and two dot Eotechs which is the same reticle as the 300 blk EOTech. The idea being one dot is for subs, the other, supers. In practice, with the ammo I used, it wasn't even close. One would need two separate dots or two separate optics. Two T2s or a scope and top dot etc. It would be a great video. I'd love to do it one day, but that won't be soon.

They replied explaining they were waiting on a shipment of inserts. On Jan 17th, 2022 I reached out to follow up as I hadn't heard anything. They replied that nearly the whole company was sick and therefore behind. I replied in an understanding manner. On Feb 2nd, 2022 I got a shipment notification. With a small company, you have to pay to play. I work for a small company and we've never all been sick, but we've been short staffed. I would wait that long again for this holster, I find it to be that good. My only comment to them, would have been to send out emails to update everyone proactively. As far as what's happening in your situation, I have no idea but you might reach out to check in with them. Their responses to my emails were prompt/same day.

      @thecontemporarygentleman wipe your mags down with a thin glaze of Hopps #9. Do the same to the inner mag well walls. That'll at least make them slide against anything they make contact with more smoothly. Otherwise you may need to go to a 19 or 17. I don't mess with the 45 or any of their newer models with the proprietary magazines. Like the 48 and some of the new gen5s. I went with the 26 so I can use 10, 13, 15, 17, 24, and 33rnd magazines in a subcompact platform. I use a 19 mag with a spacer sleeve and it works out well for me. I've got pretty normal size hands.

    Awesome deep dive. This video is a great high level over view and really breaks down a lot of the things I just haven’t seen in other videos about the MCX virtus or even the virtus as a whole. I think the 11.5 for 556 is best too when it comes to how it breaks down , and 6.75 is what I went with because of the couple inches you can shave off (looks) but it also doesn’t hinder your performance especially shooting subs to much , I do agree with you that the 9 is a big sweet spot I kind of regretted selling mine but was very happy with the 6.75” , I do want an LT too though

      I have a spear LT right now. It's less gassy for sure. I'm currently running an RC2 on it but have a Flow556k ready to mount at a certain round count. And I agree, the finish is better as well.

      @@ravenbear-eaglelion8830 when pushing your limits and you have a lot of MOLLE employed, that can be dramatic. 12 miles with 50 lbs on your back, oz equal pounds. MOLLE is material and when the army gives you shit covered in MOLLE and you're using pouches attached, I'll bet it adds more than you want. I know it adds more than what I want. Plus, the weight being pushed outward and then pulling down is annoying on a chest rig at the very least. Perhaps you still find all of that asinine. However, I do not. I still hit the gym and having less MOLLE reserves that additional strength for if I need it. I.E., getting a casualty to safety. Is that splitting hairs? I don't think it is based on experience but perhaps your experience is different.

      @@thecontemporarygentleman fair enough. The ounces equals pounds argument. I really don’t think MOLLE is adding that much encumbrance to affect overall performance, I’ve hiked 12 with a SAW and 15 with a basic combat load of 50 lbs. The 12 as far more challenging due to the SAW and barrels. I never thought to myself I wish I didn’t have this MOLLE on my PC or LBV. I’ve also never held a really low profile light PC or rig before so I don’t really know the perceived weight savings. I do appreciate the response, regardless carrying weight for miles is humbling to say the least.

    The main feature that I believe makes it superior to the ngal (and the reason I gave up on the ngal) is the ability to turn down the illuminators and laser brightness. If your shooting at distance lots of times the laser and illuminator is too powerful and turning it down to the sweet spot allows you to better see the targer. I guess a second one is that you can literally program that remote to have any setting you want, that's pretty cool.
