Been waiting for someone to review this.... SOLD... Thank you for the video.
No problem! Let me know how it goes after your range trips!
Haha same this will be the reason I get a 320 100%
This intro make me feel the need to buy more 9mm
Do it!
Not Expensive. about a grand all said and done for some plastic
@@SpaceRanger187 to be fair that includes the Sig p320 slide and FCU. All the plastic parts are sub $500, sub $300 if you already have a brace/stock that works with the 1913 rail
im lost. its 150 for this,300 for the fcu, 300 for a slide, plus mags, plus stock. Dang near a grand. The cheapest full gun is 650..Im sure they will make this for a glock gen 3 soon and that will be cheap. Heck I need to just get a 3d printer and make them@@joshuas6221
I forgot, you also have to keep in mind that Im cheap and if its not a deal I will not buy it. It is cool asf thou@@joshuas6221
I love mine! My current build is the SMC bravo, Original P320 compact Slide, Threaded barrel, HA320XL Comp, Streamlight TRL7 Sub (Until I pick a better option), Picatinny to Buffer Tube adapter, SBA4 Brace (Until Magpul BTR comes in). Currently waiting to come in Hyper Shield, Charging Handle, BTR Brace, Dovetail To RMR Adapter. Waiting to but until in stock Magazine Holder. I also haven't decided the optic yet just knew I wanted an RMR cut. I'm only using the brace setup because I already had it and will probably change in the future and already have a BTR coming for my AR Pistol.
Dude that is a sweet setup!
Good review, sounds like a fun/useful truck/compact SUV (can't afford to drive a truck with the cost of gas so it's a Mazda CX5) gun.
Thanks for the shout out.
🤜💥🤛
Dude it's a 07 Toyota camry gun for me 🤣🤣🤣 You are seriously my favorite commenter!
I like the format. No filler scenes to fast forward through.
Thanks!
I have one and it’s awesome!
What did you end up using for your build?
So if you want to Dryfire with it at home using laser targets or other systems, Dryfiremag makes a laser smart mag that's compatible.
320 mags are compatible and the barrel is the same so lasers should work the exact same 😁
Something that wasn't mentioned that should be is availability. I have not seen the Flux Raider in stock in the last 9 months.
That is very true!
Thank you guys
Thank YOU!
The only thing I have to say off the bat is why didn’t they design it where the optic is not cycling back-and-forth so you have to readjust your eye
In shooting it I didn't notice it moving that much to be honest. I was more annoyed at the amount of carbon build up we got on the glass towards the end of our season. I definitely though it would have effected my shooting experience more than it did.
Before I saw your review on the SMC Bravo I actually opted to use the same slide. For optics I am using a Sig Romeo 1 Pro and tossed on a Streamlight TLR-7X.
It's such a nice setup! I wish I had one at home!
Its hard to argue against when its like $120. The rest of the bolted on nonsense isn't necessary, but if you've got a fully kitted P320 and a spare 1913 brace laying around, its an easy buy. I've got both a bravo and flux raider (top chopped), and I'd say the bravo is an acceptable cheaper (and in stock) alternative. I plan to give it to my dad who's got a compact P320 with a sig red dot on it, give him a 21rd round magazine and likely chop the end shorter to meet the compact slide.
It's definitely still one of my favorite chassis systems to date for all the reasons you listed!
@@ARFCOMReviews Thought I'd give an update, worked flawlessly just chopping the front down to a compact size and adding the standard OG SB tactical picatinny brace. I think the bravo is better suited to run it simple with just a light and holding it like a handgun 'braced'.
I have the Bravo FDE with a 4.7" love it, I have 2 other chassis based guns, both Glock 17's and the P320 is clearly my favorite. The QD slots are the Cat's meow for me, the Glock versions have no equivalent.
The QD slots do make a world of difference!
It looks fun and I would like to have one. Until we can get the NFA over turned,
It is hard to convince anyone that it is an arm brace when you never show it used that way.
I totally get that argument, hopefully we get some clarity in the next couple of big cases!
I'm new to chassis and guns but here's a couple of cons I read about that I don't thiiiink I heard y'all talk about (?):
lack of manual safety making it somehow a little more risky than the Flux. Maybe only talking about running any kind of sling on it without a safety? Again I'm brand new
even with the angle of the stock/adapter, it's still not low enough to comfortable see through a lot of optics. And if you have a p320 slide that's not optic cut, you can still run your optic on the Flux without having to get a new slide or send it out.
Something tells me to get the Bravo over the Flux, but most of the internet feels I should go for the Flux.
Sorry if y'all already covered these and I missed it.
Lastly, here's a question: Would you rather have the Bravo with NO spare mag holder, or a Flux Raider
Flux supposedly puts out a new batch of Raiders every month or so, whereas I can't tell whether Strike will be releasing more parts for the bravo. They're out of stock on both the spare mag holder and the charging handle.
Thanks for your help!
I think if you have the coin then the flux is the way to go. It is definitely more expensive but is overall a hardier system. The Bravo Chassis is really meant to be a less expensive version of that type of system and it crushes it at the price. Not having a manual safety doesn't bother me unless I am running a plate carrier and if I'm going to be doing long walks on the beach kind of stuff with it. As a bag gun it doesn't really suffer for not having one in my opinion.
@@ARFCOMReviews thanks for the reply. Since I've never tried either it's hard to know whether I prefer a slide mounted optic or the shroud style on the Flux, and I also really like that SI folding stock, it just looks really easy to use and kind of cool. But yeah, the internet in general seems to make a little fun of the SMC and seems to really love the Raider. Nice thing about the SMC is that it's still available (minus the spare mag holder) and I don't have to worry about when the next drop is and whether I'll hit "purchase" within the first .5 seconds of the drop. Not having that spare mag holder is kind of a deal breaker though.
Anyway, thanks for the review, and thanks again for the reply.
I bought the bravo and I was able to put an fcu with a safety onto the chassis. There are cut outs on the chassis. Love how modular the p320 is. Can't really do this with anything else.
Recover Tactical did it for the Glock, clamshell design that initially was unusable with iron sights or a slide mounted dot. I tried it, hated it, and therefore it sat in my safe unused. The length of pull is probably a bit short for taller individuals, but they offered a picitany dot adapter that raises the dot considerably making the platform much more usable. Dare I say, even practical in a real self-defense scenario. Having LARPED many missions through my home, killing the monsters and bad guys my children point out, I can confidently say I am an expert in the practical self-defense field. Perhaps the number one upside to the Recover Tactical product is being designed for a superior handgun. It would be a shame to need a gun, and be stuck with a p320 platform pistol.
I am interested to see if they make these for the Echelon and this would be a perfect PDW
I still own two P320 variants, I am interested in anything that may make them a bit more pleasurable to own and shoot. These guys also produce solid content, and I watch most everything they produce. There is no denying there are manufacturers that produce excellent, not necessarily better, striker-fired firearms than Glock. You mentioned Shadow Systems, and Zev, both excellent manufacturers. Although, I didn’t enjoy the OZ9 as much as I thought I would. Heck the Walther PDP is cool, Arex Defense Delta is solid, Taurus has a few cool models, I would like to purchase a Beretta APX, even the PSA Dagger line is solid. Many of these companies are producing firearms that compete with, or exceed against what Glock brings to the table. While I enjoy larping with my children, I have also been afforded the privilege of teaching them to read, something it appears your parents may have missed out on. I never once suggested that “big man hands” were the secret to enjoying a Glock. I specifically said “normal size man hands." It is true that smaller hands may prove less than helpful when attempting to fire superior Austrian Firearms. My simple notation of a similar product to the one presented, but designed for a different firearm, is just that a notation of fact. While, I would generally wear the title of "Smug Prick" with a sense of pride, I do take exception to it in this comment thread. Especially, from an individual with reading comprehension below that of my 7 year old, while your "hunch may be solid" I would assume your skull is the only solid thing about you. Your willingness to engage in the comments in the manner you have chosen suggests you are little more than a knuckle dragging ape who only recently discovered the internet ... furthermore, it's the internet, bro ... Take a chill pill and catch up on some cat videos or whatever the P320 Stans are into these days.
I carry mine loaded with a 30 mag.. It fits in my glove box. Something kind of cool about that
That is pretty sweet!
I think it would be so easy to make a universal chassis based off of this. I know its going to be made... can't wait. Gots to get me a 3D printer.
Dude! 3D printers are a whole other level of freedom!
I want the Strike PS90 stock.
It is really far out!
@@ARFCOMReviews Cool. Tell them to chop chop and get it done. 😀
I want a 365 version. Might even beat Flux to the market.
Is the brace angle sufficient for the slide mounted dot? I've got a tall boi riser on a flux due to the inline nature of the brace, which hurts portability and short range accuracy.
They angeled the brace perfectly to use a sled mounted dot (like ours is configured)
I have the Bravo with a 4.7' slide w/DPP and it works!
They need to make an iwb holster for the SMC and a low profile brace that can fit in the holster with it.
I don't know that it's THAT compact 😅
@ARFCOMReviews maybe not for EDC at work but for going out and running some errands on foot I bet it wouldn't be too bad
@@ARFCOMReviews Actually it is I have an IWB Light bearing holster, (can't use the mag holder or deflector) but will readily handle the SMC with a Midwest Industries folding stock under a jacket.
Ah yes the actual availible “raider”
Like dude, I'd rather get this than b&t tp9. Better tag for one
You have enough money to SBR this thing and get a can for the price
Loved the review and more set to buy it. Can the bravo be adapted to put a red dot? Not on the slide but on the rear of lower?
Thanks for the positive comment! As for the red dot question, I don't think so unless you used a mount that utilized the front rail section.
Copy, keep up these vids. You guys going to do for p365?
🔥🔥🔥
They will be sold out faster then they can make them, if they make them for Glock gen 3 etc
They would have to make the chassis a firearm, but I totally agree.
Can you mount the comp to the frame? Or do you mount it on the barrel? Just a question for people in cali
They do make frame mounted comps you could probably drop onto the rail section of the blast deflector
Echelon version 100000000% 14:12
Since the NFA is on its way out, let's say these things aren't Sbr's LoL, no.... more like shoulderd pistols.
🤣
PLEASE DO AN APX
We'd love to! Let Beretta know they need to send us one to review!
So is a tax stamp required to get this, at this point?
No
@@ARFCOMReviews OK, thanks
Wrong again. Steyr came up with the modular FCU.
Thanks for the clarification 😁
😍😍😍
Thanks for the emojis 😁
This would make me have to buy the Echelon. Don't and won't own a sig, and glock doesn't seem an option. Very interesting. I can put in in my "don't ask, because I wanted it" safe.
I had the exact same thought about the Echelon
I like that the intro is ripped from administrative results. Not a dig. I really feel admin is the student who surpassed the master with that one. Just give me 2 hours of that and it will be better than anything hollywood has put out.
No offense taken at all 🥰🥰🥰
This and the flux are too different. I got a flux and I will more than likely get this eventually because why not.
A man of good taste 🥰 I am jealous!
@@ARFCOMReviews you make me blush you little cutie batootie
Cool yes, practical no, application none, just more stuff 😅
I think these can easily be applied to plenty of situations where it's impractical or way more expensive to carry a rifle, especially on body and all the time. Most people don't have the pistol proficiency to shoot past 15 to 20 yards on a good day, and $400 worth of ammo won't change that. This does make even a novice shooter capable of that feat.
I thought I was interested in this but then I heard it was for a garbage sig
🤣
Pistol chassis systems are absolute trash in my experienced opinion.
This one worked even with trash ammo (and utilizing while utilizing 320 parts 😅) it's definitely a comprise, it provides capability when/if you can't afford training and or you don't need/want to carry a rifle around.
@@ARFCOMReviews I guess I should try different companies, but I had the CAA gear conversion kit for my Glock 10mm and the chassis shattered and cut my hands all up, and caused the gun to land with the barrel pointed at my chest. The company said it was user error.
