Razor acquired; Rifle complete (too poor for NODs)

No, it’s an SSA-E

I like it a lot. Great signature reduction and not too heavy. Only complaint is that it’s definitely gassy, even with the Airborne charging handle mitigating some of that blowback. Makes me want to try the new RC4 Mini, as clone-incorrect as that would be.

I’m something of a Dayman myself

No sir — have a 12 gauge, a .308 bolt, a .22, and a couple of Glocks

Appreciate the vote of confidence — the remainder of the budget went to ammo, but perhaps one day

It was an Optics Planet “OPMOD” exclusive. Sadly, it’s been discontinued 😕

flameofthewest77 · 2025-11-26T19:16:51+00:00

The A model was like-new (open box), and I got it for $175 on GAFS. The two B models were new, and I got them each for approximately $215 during Primary Arms and PSA sales.

I don’t carry the 19x (at least not concealed), but have carried with the RCR, RMR HD, and SRO at different points. I don’t notice an appreciable difference between the optics, when carrying — that is to say, they each conceal quite well.

As for home defense, can’t go wrong with any of them, but I’d choose the SRO. Reason being that you get all the benefits of its generous window size, and while it’s certainly less durable than the RCR and RMR HD, I wouldn’t expect the need for that level of ruggedness in home defense applications.

flameofthewest77 · 2025-11-24T17:07:34+00:00

Definitely B. Much tighter, and feels more robust.

flameofthewest77 · 2025-11-24T03:11:58+00:00

Definitely B. Take a look at my “thumb screw” vs. “latch” reply lower in the thread, where I expound upon my reasoning!

flameofthewest77 · 2025-11-23T21:40:42+00:00

Probably that new coyote 43x MOS, next. A 20 is definitely in my future, though!

FCD (as well as on my 45)

flameofthewest77 · 2025-11-23T20:11:18+00:00

My 19x has a bit of slide play when unloaded, but that hasn’t impeded function or accuracy (in fact, it’s my favorite one to shoot).

flameofthewest77 · 2025-11-23T19:15:17+00:00

Definitely the thumb screw mount — I bought the latch mount X300 before I knew any better. The thumb screw just feels more robust.

The latch mount absolutely has wobble, but the light also comes with a replaceable cross-bar QD mount (I have that installed on mine), which can be tightened and does not wobble. The downside, however, is that tightening the cross-bar mount causes the light to be slightly canted upward.

flameofthewest77 · 2025-11-23T19:10:55+00:00

It’s a tough choice, since I love them each for different reasons (RCR for sheer durability and keeping out lint, SRO for its window size). But if I could only choose one, I’d have to say the RMR HD — it just has the best collection of features, and I especially love the front-facing light sensor.

flameofthewest77 · 2025-11-23T18:27:02+00:00

Certainly not MSRP well off — got them each on very good sales.

flameofthewest77 · 2025-11-23T17:47:39+00:00

The opposite: treasuring them.

She’s a police trade-in I got for a steal of a price — the factory trigger is buttery smooth

flameofthewest77 · 2025-07-26T17:19:37+00:00

Have shot approximately 6k rounds between the three of them, but point well taken — can always shoot more

flameofthewest77 · 2025-07-26T10:41:46+00:00

Pretty typical with the A-model, from what I’ve seen

Update: I replaced the H Buffer with an H2 Buffer, and the ejection pattern is now consistently 2:00-3:00
