      I ordered this December 9th, 2021. On Dec 28th I sent an email inquiring as to the delay since their site said 5-7 business days. 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. That is actually a big deal to me and I was impressed.

      @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.

    • @thecontemporarygentleman
      @thecontemporarygentleman Місяць тому

      So, the 19 mags with the 19 grip is the problem. The 26 grip is okay, even with 19 mags. The issue with the 19 is that the bottom corner of the magazine catches my palm. My work-around is not using a 19.

    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

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?

    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.

    Thank you for this video, I'm having a hard time finding video or photos of the difference between the dual fuel and the turbo. The only thing I would recommend, is maybe better camera placement (some clips were too close and others too far away from you) and turn autofocus off. Other than that thank you for a great review. And sorry if I didn't hear if you say this, did you use CR123s or the rechargeable batteries? And did it come with a charger for the rechargeables

    We are lacking an 18350 and 18650 Vampire/Viz solution. That said, on dark nights, the Vampire is just too much. I have a TNVC V1 head, which comes on in low first, then high. I have a 180m view from my porch and I hit the light, in low mode of course, IR. It illuminated it all. Very well. I then double-tapped for "high". It looked no different. I thought maybe there was a low battery or other issue until I did it a few more times and noticed it was just my tubes dimming significantly. I literally get the same performance in low as I do in "high" in IR mode because it's so bloody powerful/tubes dim. For gen 2 or older Gen 3 systems, I can see the appeal for the power, but for me, it's annoying and I don't think I could even make much use of a V1 weapon light without a low mode.

    • @thecontemporarygentleman
      @thecontemporarygentleman 3 місяці тому

      You want minus for less gas. So push the "-" side down. That said, the virtus is a gassy system. I haven't seen an after market gas valve yet, but that's what it would take. Some people bully the SIG CS team into giving them certain valves, which are not the valves specifically meant for the 11.5 5.56. For instance a valve for a 9" 300blk. Also, I have a video on the Virtus gas system.

    problem I've had with them, the titanium screws are great but if you fall or a great amount of pressure is applied, they will strip the magnesium housing screw holes. As well as each pod only having one attachment to the housing, magnesium is pretty ductile, it's strong, but it will bend. In the field, I just have to be mindful of them and they aren't retard proof like 14s.
