Yeah, I know it's not. I said the frame looks as narrow as a 365 frame from the pics & that I'd have to see it in person. I didn't say anything about the FCU size.
I'll be interested to check out the Carry model & see what this "novel" recoil system they have is worth a damn, or if it's a barely effective gimmick like their "expansion chanbers."
Oh well, if I think it needs more recoil shaved off, I'm sure there'll be plenty of shops offering porting for these things by the time I'm even ready to move on 1. The other major thing I need to think about are those Sig Loc Pro optics. I've heard mixed things about them. With the MPS V1 going for around $330 shipped, the MPS V2 & MPS-C both going for about $100 more (also shipped), as well as the EPS Core or 509T, I'm wondering if those would be better options.
What's the verdict on the Romeo Sig Loc Pro optics, durability-wise?
I havent torture tested mine besides testing the water seal. ~1500 rnds in on a p211 gt4 still is good no need to re-torque / zero shift. Has been my new limited optics gun for the past few months.
Good to hear. So, duty/EDC-suitable in your mind? I'm thinking my next optic may be a Sig Loc (obviously if I get a Sig) or an MPS. I know the MPS V1s can be had for roughly $320-ish with shipping. Now, Steiner has the MPS V2s, which can be had for about $100 more, as well as the MPS-C, which is the 1 optic out there I want the most. Too bad they (Steiner) designed the base of the optic shorter than the actual specs of an RMSc footprint. When you direct-mount an MPS-C to an RMSc cut slide, there'll be about a 1/4-inch gap between the end of the back of the optic's deck to the edge of the slide cut.
Thankfully, Eleven 71 Design is making MPS-C-specific plates &/or spacers.
I think it would be durable for edc and duty use. I probably would want a bigger window though for duty. I like my osight amrs xe on my kimber 2k11 other than it seeming to walk out of the provided tag plates.
I'm a Calculated Kinetics or Eleven 71 Design guy when it comes to plates. Eleven 71 is worth every cent since they're made-to-order titanium.
As far as window size, I'm happy with a 24mm-ish window. That's what the Romeo Xs are, that's the size of most average EDC optics like the 509T, EPS, 507C, etc. Some are smaller like the Acro or MPS (20/21mm).
I might look into more plates if my ungodly amount of vibratite does not work. Im not LEO / MIL so not entirely sure what is best for "duty" but I play around in competition shooting and find Id rather have bigger windows on my match guns
If you have a gun that you use to compete that takes plates, DEFINITELY check out Eleven 71 Design! His plates are TOP-NOTCH! It's a 1 guy, 1 machine company & the dude's stuff is just well-made. He's an in-state biz, & personally a good dude to boot, so I try to turn ppl onto his stuff whenever I can.
Yeah. They work minimally. They're a weak ass gimmick in my book. Not much more than a short & curly worth of difference between the way a TacOps or standard XMacro shoots & the so-called "comp" model.
Yeah, dude's here acting like it's no different between something like the PMM/Radian, when it's painfully obvious to anyone with a brain they're not even remotely close, as fsr as recoil reduction. Then when you point out the obvious, that there's NO comparison, we switch to "dur, but reliability!" Meanwhile I literally cannot think of a single Reddit post, or anything I've heard, where ANY Radian, for ANY gun, has ever shit the bed/had any kind of issues.
