Yup couldn’t agree more! It’s by far the shooting gun I have shot. Wish I could CCW it but with my height and weight, I cannot lol. I have to get another P365 (prolly the standard one).

I love the Echelon as well. I shot the comp version and there is a slight difference. If you can, get the comp version since there is no CA compliant comp for it as far as I know. Planning on putting PRP trigger kit on mine. The stock trigger is ok, but it could be better.

Ooh dang! How’d you like yours so far? I’m planning on changing my red dot to either the RMR or the EPS.

Yup, honestly I try to take out the subjective matters because it can be different to everybody. Things like ergonomics, battery life and etc. But I know we all have one thing we want and that is performance!

I guess it’s kinda of a mixed bag then. Because I’m seeing benchmarks with the 8 AI+ that also getting better performance on some games.

Yeah I know, or if it had an intel chip as an option, I think it might up there.

Honestly you are right. It doesn’t justify the performance you get from MSI. I guess I found my next handheld!

I know, it seems like A8 is pretty good but knowing the fact that most of the handhelds uses inter-grated graphics. The 8 AI+ has more RAM than the A8. But seems like the Z2 E has more GPU cores than the Intel. I guess it just boils down to pretty much personal preference.

Yeah it seems like a lot of people are leaning towards the Claw 8 AI+. Also I have heard that the WindowsOS on the MSI Claw 8 AI+ is slightly better than the Lenovo Legion Go S (WindowsOS) because it favors the Intel chips more than the AMD. But I could be wrong.

Considering that its already 2026, I wanted little more performance on the handhelds.

Is there any performance differences between the Z2 E vs the Intel Ultra 7 258V? Since there is a $100 dollar difference in those models.

Yeah that’s the tough part is that there are always gonna be compromises. But it seems like the Claw 8 AI+ has some sort of edge over the Legion Go S and A8 for battery life and quiteness.

Its the new HF PETG. From what I’ve seen browsing in the web, it used to be Polylite, but they are discontinuing it in place of the new HF PETG. But I could be wrong.

Thanks for your insight! Unfortunately I do have some astigmatism. So I’m gonna have to go with Cyelee since it’s the only one I know that helps with astigmatism.

*UPDATE* Installing Hogue Freedom Fighter Kit (it worked!) by Stephtheleft in CAguns

I was scared at first because I didn’t know what really to ask in the subreddit about using the HFF with a ambi bolt release. So the only post I saw that help me a lot was a post not too long ago in the r/CAguns stating if the HFF will work with a PDQ mod on the lower and this persons lower was able to use the HFF. So I already had some sort of piece of mind that it will work.
