As soon as they start dropping colored models of the VP9A1K I will own one in Grey to match my other Grey HKs.
Or maybe I'll get an OD one, my OD HK45 is kinda lonely.

I’ve experienced zero issues with my ACRO P2 and it’s resided on multiple firearms/probably been through about 5-6K rounds.

i've used a lot of micro red dots and the RMR has worked pretty well for both duty, carry, on pistols, SMGs, rifles, and once on a GPMG for funsies. the ACRO seems to work fine, although i've had more experience with the Delta Point and the Docter optic. a lot of these micro red dots trade ease of use/performance for size imho, for a lot of serious work the more normal sized red dots work better imho, and on pistols some zapped phosphorescent dots or tritium sights worked for me in most situations. with a PVS you aren't using sights anyway and just have an IR laser zero'd at 25 meters.

I can only hope that American made in this case also means "comes with decent quality control." If this is priced more on the $400 dollar end of the price scale, I may be more inclined to give this a try over an ACRO or an RMR with known pedigrees.

I understand the concept behind the horseshoe acting as a "battle sight" a la the EOTECH circle but I really do not care for it and couldn't imagine using it on a pistol.

Tl;Dr buy a WASR10 or maybe a new Zastava or if you can find one, a WPB Jack or Fox with the OG chrome lined barrel and not the new nitrided abomination.
I have a psak-101 because MUH aesthetics and it was on sale for $999 or so.
Oh and I have a WASR10
Never expected PA of all people to make something in the USA...... They're usually the biggest China simps there are in regards to production while companies like Burris try and use the PH and Japan wherever possible.
Hopefully they'll do more stuff in the USA.
Now for new guns, let's see how Brownells keeps ruining the AR-18
The Gen 2 was just about perfect..... Now they're actively making it WORSE. UGH
Looks like top dog for a short stroke AR type rifle remains the Sig MCX Gen 3 and maybe the CZ Bren Gen 3 (LMAO at spare parts availability)

I have the acss 507c. After training to use a rds I'd rather have a regular 2-6 moa dot, but I dont feel like the horseshoe is holding me back enough to buy a new one. I turned the outer ring off after a couple months. If you're practicing enough to be proficient with a dot you shouldn't need it.
Their insistence on shoving the horseshoe into magnified optics is stupid. Even a lot of acog guys prefer the traditional cross hair.

That's cool looking man. I thought the M77s looked like a fun gun to fuck around with, but when I was looking the mags were ridiculous so I didn't even want to bother.

to be fair, it's usually more cost efficient to make certain products in the US if the margin is high enough or the export/import is risky. what differs in manufacturing is the balance between costs to offshore and import vs produce domestically, and the US typically has much higher labor and regulatory costs, but much lower supply chain and fixed costs. this doesn't even get into geopolitical or language/culture barriers or how corrupt the supply chain, finance chain, or political chain is in China.

Man I've recently discovered the new Burris XTR 3 and Pro line of scopes...... 3.3-18x and the 5-30x and their competitors in the ~$800 (on sale) to $1500 range..... Wow.
Makes my older Vortex Viper PST gen 2 3-15x look ancient
Yeah it's unusual what is more economical to make in the USA..

The Burris RT6 is probably the best budget LPVO by far. That said I sheared a lug off the included pepr mount torquing it to spec. Which many people were shocked by, apparently they're really robust. I bought a warne mount instead. Made in America. Burris did send me a new PEPR which is cool.
It seems like primary arms wants to swing to more US made stuff. I've seen this happen with other companies. Kore belts makes US made belts now. They're $10 more than the non US ones. They got established and now can make stuff here. I think that's just how it goes. It's hard to immediately just open up and be made in America for many things. But eventually the goal should be to bring it home. Kore belts are fantastic by the way. If you carry you need one. Even as every day belts they're great. $60 or less with discount and they'll last you forever. Gain or lose weight no problem. Don't cut it too short and you'll have space to shrink it or grow into it. Trauma shears work best for cutting them. I don't recommend the faux leather ones. They do get ripped up if you run them hard. My Dad did.

the faux leather work best with conceal carry in plain clothes like a suit or something. very well made belts though and they don't stain good clothing easily and can take a waxing.

True, I hadn't thought about that. I just use a nylon black Kore for many events. Nothing super formal but formal enough. My spouse who is much higher class than me thinks they look great and pretty classy for most things. I should get one thinking about it. For when I really must wear something classier.

it's a must-have accessory for a friend of mine to wear his "Very Fancy Pistol" to weddings and the like. and it draws less attention than a more obvious tactical-looking belt. i guess one way to view it is having an option to carry in more situations in different types of events.

Everyone prepare your anuses, Stacatto finally broke down and is releasing a Glock mag version.... LMAO. I guess the Platypus and Apollo were actually eating into the retardedly overpriced 2011 market.....

The natural evolution of the 2011.
Literally no reason not to do this, or that Dan Wesson/CZ version that is like a 1911 on a CZ75 lower. As soon as polymer 2011's became a thing, it was only a matter of time.
I would hazard to guess the biggest obstacle to practically any 2011 running worth a fuck are mags, no matter if you get a high end or low end 2011.
