    I read that they're optimized for Mk 18's and other over-gassed SBR's.

    Got some love from a chick named Norma. She even put a little bow on one.

    I think I'm going to make one last order to BUL Armory to get some more 16 and 19 round mags, but that's about it.

    I'll have to source S&W 10mm mags at some point down the road when I'm not in this state, or sneak in another 10mm full firearm purchase just to get more mags.

    Other than that, I think I'm pretty set for life.

    Mag bans are so unenforceable its just moronic. Just take a trip to a friendly state. I grabbed some Magpuls from a LGS in a neighboring state and they had a 2020 date.

    I agree, completely unenforceable, and even if it was, we are currently overlooking actual felony crimes, due to the lack of staffing. This wouldn't even make it on the radar.

    I still have to be on the uppity up until I retire. Looking forward to living that sketchy life post retirement though!

    As long as you understand that Holosun isn't as good, I can live with that. I'd argue that it's 95% of what the Trijicon is for a lot less money. I totally get where you're coming from though. They've come a long way since their first generation stuff, which was crap. Admittedly I was in the same boat, but after watching Aaron Cowan's video on the Holosun, I gave it another look.

    I get that, but Poopypants and Faucci give them enough of our hard-earned money. They've killed the Mom-n-Pop industry and are largely responsible for our economy being in the shitter, starting with car prices and medications and fueling the supply chain crisis. All we got was a nasty viral illness (Edit to add FENTANYL). I understand that China is well represented in the daily life of the average American, but if enough of us cancelled that shit, things would change quickly. There are plenty of other places on the Asian continent that do a better job of producing those daily life articles and they do it with a much higher regard for the rest of the world.

    Everything that's good and awesome is copied (ie: stolen), and reproduced cheaper, with shitty base components and no QC, but people are brainwashed into thinking it's "JuSt aS gOOd!!" While supporting IP theft*. I understand. I get that people want things, and buying cheap is a central flaw of the I want it now generation. You said yourself you were "Saving" for a new vehicle. If more people learned from the first time some Chinesium POS garbage broke, and adopted the save for quality trait, those crooks would be forced to step-up, or step-out of the industries they're dominating with shit.

    BOT: While not a ghastly rip-off of the consumer, Holosun is certainly an outlier among a sea of ripped-off technology.

    *There's a difference between a top-to-bottom counterfeit item, and one that improves on established technology, and that's the biggest difference between China and other suppliers like Japan, Korea and Indonesia.

    Right now, there is no getting away from China. Your house is full of Chinesium. I've tried over the years to consciously eliminate as much Chinese made crap as possible, but as the pandemic has shown, a lot of products just aren't made here anymore. I remember talking to Sheri Johnson while EraThr3 was starting and just finding someone in the US to make playing cards for them was impossible. I think that really hamstrung them as far as bringing products to market but couldn't because they refused to compromise their principles.

    Anyhow, I don't have any evidence that Holosun has stolen any IP, not saying you're accusing them, but the Chinese can manufacture things of high quality. ie Multitasker. I'm fine with picking an choosing certain items made in China.

    In the end the pandemic is ending Globalization and Chinese labor isn't as cheap as it used to be. I think this will be a self correcting problem soon.

    If you're not familiar with Peter Zeihan, I'd suggest some views.

    I've been on a wait list for this for a bit and it finally came in. Now I just need to do the annoying task of mounting.
