Gen 6 Glock optic mounting seems sketchy

This expert guide, informed by a firearms instructor, details potential issues with the Glock Gen 6 factory optic mounting system. It highlights that the universal cut may not provide optimal stability, leading to optics coming loose, as demonstrated by an O-Site optic failure. The guide recommends considering aftermarket plates like Aris for a more secure, machined fit and outlines steps for troubleshooting and installation.

This review of the Osight XR optic, presented by Ben Stoeger, highlights its build quality and performance as comparable to Holosun, despite a lower price point. While generally reliable, a specific issue with screw compatibility on Glock Gen 6 models is noted, requiring aftermarket solutions. The optic offers a solid value, though larger window competition sights like the Holosun 507 Comp are preferred for certain applications.

This expert guide delves into the Aimpoint COA, a highly sought-after but currently unavailable pistol optic, highlighting its design and proprietary 'A-cut' mounting system. It presents the Holosun EPS and EPS Carry as viable alternatives, detailing their feature sets and price points. The guide also touches upon professional slide milling services for optimal optic integration, emphasizing informed purchasing decisions for firearm accessories.

This guide details the installation of the new Olight Osight S and SE red dot sights onto the Glock 43X MOS. The presenter, Lenny McGill from GlockStore, highlights the direct-fit nature of these optics on the G43X MOS, eliminating the need for adapter plates. The process involves using the included specialized Torx wrench and screw set for a secure mount, allowing for co-witnessing with factory iron sights.

This video provides an initial look at the Springfield Armory Echelon pistol paired with an Aimpoint COA red dot sight. The unboxing process reveals the pistol and its accessories, followed by detailed visual examinations of the Echelon's grip, trigger, slide markings (including 'HS PRODUKT MADE IN CROATIA'), and the Aimpoint COA optic. The presentation emphasizes the integrated design and ergonomics of the firearm and optic combination.

This video introduces an innovative revolver brace that replaces the stock grip with a metal wrap-around adapter, capable of holding ammunition. The brace significantly reduces felt recoil from powerful handgun cartridges by providing additional points of contact. It features an adjustable or removable comb, crucial for achieving optimal sight alignment with either iron sights or red dot optics, thereby enhancing shooting control for average users.

This video highlights a critical firearm malfunction where the magazine drops during firing, indicating a potential issue with the magazine catch or frame interface. The speaker, Ben Stoeger, demonstrates professional handling of the malfunction, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing mechanical failures promptly. The firearm in question is a customized Shadow Systems MR920.

This video demonstrates a critical uncommanded discharge incident with a Sig Sauer P320 during a holstering procedure. The footage, analyzed by expert Ben Stoeger, highlights the importance of firearm safety and mechanical reliability, showing the discharge occurring without the shooter's finger on the trigger. It serves as a stark reminder of potential risks even during routine actions.

Ben Stoeger debunks common red dot sight misconceptions, emphasizing that 'finding the dot' and 'blooming' indicate a misunderstanding of optic mechanics. True red dot use requires focusing on the target, not the dot itself. Stoeger suggests training methods like occluding the optic to promote binocular vision and target focus, comparing this skill to trigger control which needs constant refinement.

This 15-minute dry fire program by Ben Stoeger focuses on refining fundamental shooting skills through deliberate practice. It covers slow-motion draws, varied draw techniques including lateral movement, and meticulous reload mechanics. The program progresses to advanced drills like strong-hand/weak-hand reloads and positional shooting from a kneeling stance, emphasizing precision over speed initially.
