swatti Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 WUT! Eb sells something else then gopro gizmos now? Wow. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Can't help but laugh at the rs advertisement. Advocates concealed carry: sticks an extended mag bumper, optic, and light on a full sized Glock. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Those are some seriously offensive font choice.... Link to post Share on other sites
kenxin Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Open glock , here we go. Let's hope the quality is better than the army one. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Those are some seriously offensive font choice.... First thing I noticed: Comic Sans? WHAT Link to post Share on other sites
kagami Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 the font enthusiast in me says "what are you talking about there is no comic sans." at any rate, this was ridiculous when it was first announced and still is. Apparently Geissele/ALG made this at the request of some "operator" whos affiliation could not be disclosed due to "security reasons" Link to post Share on other sites
Kratisto Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I think I've seen a photo of this thing in actual service. It's supposed to be used in tight spaces with multiple hostiles with hostages, like an airliner interior. Hence the name: 6 seconds from entry to ending threats (or something like that) EDIT: This is the source: http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?121596-2013-SHOT-Show-Threads&p=1525410#post1525410 Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 You know what else can be deployed in 6 seconds? Just about any other handgun out there. Less if you get Bob Munden with a single action. They would have sounded more credible if they just marketed it towards open class IDPA/IPSC instead of going all out "developed for a Tier 1 operative". Link to post Share on other sites
jkpics Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Well as fare as I know it's not available for civilians ATM, so it might even be true. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 That's exactly the sort of thing the military would buy. "You want to make cuts for optics mounts in to our guns?!? I'll hear none of it, you can bolt on a mount that makes no permanent changes to the weapon so it can be returned to the factory state with ease... and count yourself lucky we're allowing you that" Gives airsofters a comparatively cheap, quick and simple way to mount a small red dot on their pistols. Don't see how that's a bad thing. Shame the light ends up 5 miles away from the trigger guard, apart from those with very large hands/digits that'll make a very noticeable difference in terms of ease and speed of actually lighting stuff up; really gonna mess with your grip too.

jkpics Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Well to be fair it's also a lot cheaper then getting a slide modified or buying new slides, and the aimpoint will also live longer on the frame then on the slide getting beaten to hell. It's a sound way to mount a T1 if you need a T1 on you pistol, and some people do. The light moves down 5-6mm not perfect but workable i think, with offhand working the light and main hand working the trigger. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I do have tiny girl hands I wouldn't deny it. But when I'm trying to get the 'ideal' grip on a pistol I find even a light on the normal rail can be pretty disruptive of that, let alone where it'd be on that mount. 99% won't care because it's airsoft and there's no recoil to control which is absolutely fine, but it does bother me personally.

jkpics Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Nobody gets a perfect grip on a pistol when using the light, moving a finger around is the opposite of a firm grip. Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I quite like the mount, apart from how ludicrously low it places the torch. But the font can die in a fire. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Nobody gets a perfect grip on a pistol when using the light, moving a finger around is the opposite of a firm grip. Thanks for the info... I wasn't aware... As I said, the normal positioning of the light is disruptive to the grip, with this mount that will be exacerbated for many people, including me. I'm not a big fan of that. That ok? Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 With these sort of mounts (there are many others just like it just not specifically for use with a T1) I think manipulating the torch with the support hand like you would on a long gun is the more viable option.

Katotaka Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 WANT! But something seems weird, "another" store in HK, Reload Gears ( I think it's actually = ebairsoft ) posted on their FB page saying actual product will not be sold in their retail store ( now they call themselves TMC gear, yes the nylon tactical gear brand ) , HK buyers have to order from their webstore and both colors are out of stock when I tried to order mine ( yay it's like US$41 locally, that price for aluminum mount AND magwell, what can i ask for more? ) Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Was wandering around Kwong Wah Street after today's work, spotted them available in another shop, bought a set, got home and realized my TM G17 was left in my office... Overall the kit looks great Link to post Share on other sites
ShinSeiki Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I wonder if that will fil my px4 compact... I might just order one and find out... Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Don't think so... the mount uses the rail AND trigger pin to attach on the host gun, not sure if it will work with just the rail but I would say the weight along with the T1 might cause some stress, forming an awkward leverage bending the rail part of the frame. Apart from that, the magwell won't fit... Link to post Share on other sites
