Plates and justifying price

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 review demonstrates the use of the Tactical Elites Magnetic Gun Cleaning Mat for cleaning Glock Gen 6 G19 and G45 models. The mat features magnetic pads to securely hold firearm parts during disassembly and reassembly, preventing loss and movement. The guide covers essential steps from safety checks and field stripping to reassembly and function testing, highlighting the mat's utility for firearm maintenance.

This analysis of the Gen 6 Glock optic mounting system, presented by an expert shooter, highlights potential concerns regarding its design. The video points out the limited post holes for optic attachment and the reliance on manufacturer-provided screws for security. It also touches on grip ergonomics and recoil impulse differences compared to the Gen 5. The discussion suggests that the Gen 5 MOS system was considered a 'flop,' implying potential carryover issues or design philosophies.

This video confirms the compatibility of the Radian Ramjet and Afterburner system with Glock Gen 6 pistols. A Radian representative verifies that the Gen 5 Ramjet fits Gen 6 models, while the Compressor guide rod is compatible with the G19 and G45 Gen 6 but not the G17 Gen 6 due to dust cover differences. A live-fire demonstration showcases the system's performance on a Glock 45 Gen 6.

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 video highlights a critical firearm malfunction where the magazine drops during firing, indicating a potential issue with the magazine catch or frame interface.

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.
