uscmCorps Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Ace1Arms are actually still making them, just not openly doing so. They're selling them in regions that are harder to enforce. Such as Japan and other countries. The slides that are OEM buy gunsmodify for RWA are far superior in both quality, function and installation. But they also have a price point that reflects that. Basically you get what you pay for. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Basically you get what you pay for. I have had several Ace1Arms slides in the past and they have been both great and poor, a bit hit and miss but at a great price. I am going to wait for the RWA slides i think, hopefully wont be too long now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got Wood? Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Haha. The one in force for now is good enough. When it dies I'll replace it with the real model. The 34 with the torch actually looks quite good in my opinion! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calbur20 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Not really a fan of Glocks, but I know a good deal when I see one. $270 roughly for this pistol that's had work done by RenegadeCow (stippling) plus 4 short and 2 long mags, Kydex holster and real deal Surefire X300 light. Thins get expensive in my country thus the reason why I jumped on the deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 You got a very good deal if it came with the RS Surefire X300! Nice one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LJ.NL Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Nice one! But doesn't the real X300 have the 'Surefire' logo/text written in outlines only, and not filled in? Correct me if I'm wrong 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Good catch sir. Could be different though but on their official site the logo is as stated above: http://www.surefire.com/illumination/weaponlights/handgun/x300-ultra-led-weaponlight-3.html Quick Google image search for Surefire x300 and glancing over the image results support that as well. From the details on the last pic alone it doesn't come across as RS. Not to be mean or jelly but Just sayin' 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Would never have spotted that! Just checked my RS Surefire X300U against an ACM Surefire X300.. Confirms the above unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katotaka Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 My old gen X300 (110 lumens) has filled "blades" and outlined text, newer ones (IIRC, 170 lumens non-ultra) have all outlined logos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bradnuts Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Some updates to the Gen 2 Glock 19. Added Guarder early type extractor and serial number plate, ridged trigger and OEM glock tritium front night sight. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Just pimped my WE/HK3P Glock 19 GEN3 A1A SAI RMR a little bit more. Modded in RS locking block pin. Put in RS trigger pin, RS hammer housing pin and RS extended magazine release button Edited February 21, 2016 by NonEx 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 My old gen X300 (110 lumens) has filled "blades" and outlined text, newer ones (IIRC, 170 lumens non-ultra) have all outlined logos. I've bought a lot of x300's over the years. From the early production batches through to the last production before they were discontinued by Surefire. I've never seen them with filled blades. The easiest ways to see the difference at a glance between a real X300 and a replica are a solid logo (replica) vs an outlined logo (real). Also, all the replicas didn't bother adding the second pin hole that's been standard on the x300 line which allowed the user to add the included cotter pin to lock the battery compartment latch from accidentally releasing: Here's a side by side with a few of the x300s I have laying around. You'll notice even though the logo font has changed a little over the years, it's always been outlined: Also the LED diode is different. On the replica the LED diode is visibly square and the reflector is more milky silver. On the real x300 the diode square is less visible and the reflector is more chrome: The resulting beam is also telling: Real x300 (below right) • Clean concentrated wide beam • Warmer color (easier to pick up color contrast in low/no light) • Consistent wide flood / spill with even taper to the edge of usability • Good throw (usable distance) Replica x300 (below left) • Narrower beam • "Cooler" Beam color - very white • Flood / spill has some aberrations and extra halos/rings • Slightly shorter throw. Now that said, the quality of the fake x300's I've seen have been very decent. The only thing that I've personally noticed to be distracting when using it for training or gaming are the additional halo(s). But none of the differences I've noted here would be deal breakers for most people. Personally, I still think you got a good deal for everything you received but that ultimately comes down to you the buyer. For the price, it seems very reasonable and you have a good usable / functional setup. So real or not, you still made out ok on the deal (IMHO). 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) RE: X300 RS vs. clone/replica Awesome info! And like I was trying to say it's not that I (or we) are trying to be *albatrosses* yelling "fake!". It's more that I think it's sad when people pass of replicas/clones as real stuff. Perhaps sometimes it's unknowingly though. I am very happy with my replica X300 although I bought it for $80 USD before I knew any better Edited February 24, 2016 by NonEx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A tiny bit of extra info: the fake X300 always has the serialnr.: A13168 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just checked my X300 and the blades are outlined, the small black part in the blades seems worn out or scratched......... I was looking at photo on my phone when I typed the last post and the light was not on my hand. Sorry for confusion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 A tiny bit of extra info: the fake X300 always has the serialnr.: A13168 Oh snap! Good catch there. You'd think the counterfeiters would take a little more effort to do random serial numbers and fix the little details. At least this way you know if you've got an authentic product or a replica. I know quite a few people who work at Surefire and they often get sent items for warranty only to discover that the item they thought was real is in fact replica. If a deal is too good to be true, it probably is. I only buy from approved dealers. I will say that the fake x300 I have is the best SF replica I've encountered out of any fake SF products. It's shockingly ok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
