I switched over to the S15's in my G43X and have had zero issues. Put 1200 rounds through 5 mags in the past year. Do swap out the mag release as well, and the new S15 gen 2 mags are ambidextrous.

So I have a benelli M4 and also recently just got the shipping notification for a group buy I did at work for 25 Black Ace Tactical Bullpup Pro’s https://blackacestactical.com/product/pro-series-bullpup-semiautomatic/. It’s basically a Turkish import they modify and sell as their own. While I agree with the established pedigree of the M4, the BAT Pro fits a niche, and is guaranteed by the Florida based company. They run nicely and are much easier to run for home defense/cqb than my benelli. The M4 will break you off in cqb, it’s a beast and I would also never leave my benelli out of the safe. While the BAT at 28” (compared to the M4 at 40”) with a 10 round mag in a semi auto platform at $400 won’t bring me to my knees asking WTF if something happened to it because I left it by the bed and didn’t secure it.

Same here, flawless and fun - kids and wife love to shoot my Henry X suppressed with 38s.

I have had the Griffin Optimus for about 4 years now, nothing but good things to say about it. I also just got it back from them last month after sending it in for the baffle upgrade, they are very helpful and have always been responsive when I've asked questions. I run it routinely on my 10.3" 5.56mm SBR, 8.2" 300 BLK, 16" 5.56mm KAC, 16" 308 LMT MWS, QC9 8" 9mm AR, and Henry 357 X lever action using the taper mounts. I also use the 3 lug adapter on my B&T APC9 Pro and the booster piston on a host of pistols. I don't run it on any of my rimfires, that is solely handled by my Silencerco Sparrow. So if you have any questions on the GA Optimus feel free to ask.

Thanks for the scoop fellas. I'll have to plan accordingly, looks like I'm just going to spend some time feeling completely naked.

Headed to Disney this weekend with the kids and will be staying at a Disney property. Haven't been in 20 years, so I'm looking for any info on carrying in and around the area. I'm not planning on carrying in the parks themselves which are posted and have checkpoints but how about the areas not inside the parks but on the property. Do they have mag/checkpoints set-up? I will have my LEO creds and badge with me but would like to avoid any stink if you will. Anyone have any experiences there? Sp

Uh.. heck yea - I just ordered one and also the arrow pouch and whisker biscuit. I gotta try it out.

TDR / Dustbuster what's the device or app?

+1 for Stealthgear AIWB for the G43. Mine is great, I used to daily carry INCOGs but not now. As far as OWB I have been using an F3 (with the wings) - I also highly recommend it as well.

Excellent job, I'm gonna have to give it a shot now.

If you're eligible for blue label I would recommend GT Distributors. I got mine for $368 shipped + transfer fees.

I recently sold my 9mm Shield, it was in my daily carry pair for 4 years, I had about 2.5k through it. After the G43 passed without a hiccup on my break-in of 500 rds it was a done deal. I would say that a couple of the major differences I noticed were the grip length and diameter, the Shield was bigger Of course on the standard 7rd vs 6rd with pearce +1 mag but it was also thicker. I carry AIWB and I felt it rode higher and was more noticeable. I'm also not a fan of the S&W trigger, on the trigger itself I could at times feel the catch in the trigger safety on the Shield (not a big deal, but it was a definite stop during trigger pull - have never felt that in any other trigger). That's it, they both shoot great but the G43 won out for me the.

It would all be over... I had the distinct honor to see one of these while in Malaysia. The guys in line were crying and pissing themselves before it was there turn when they herd the snap and when the guy was getting the lashes he lost consciousness. So they stopped the caning while the Doc brought him back to, then they resumed.  I found a video of one posted on the web http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5aa_1319800677

The 17 is a decent platform, I had one for about a year. I bought the vltor setup, geissele trigger and the ggg charging handle - I say all that to say I tried to make it where I would like it.  I didn't ever get to that point. Like comms said the reciprocating charging handle is a pita and the barrel profile once warm does nothing for accuracy.   I sold mine and bought a LMT LM8MWS - same price range but it has been awesome out of the box since day 1.

You turned it into a fine looking piece.
