There are ar-10 super safety kits that work but apparently they are extremely finicky and only work on some models. Vector is supposed to be a extremely unlikely for reasons listed.

I'm not sure how a forced reset trigger would work on the Vector.

I don't know either, but I do know that there are a few people trying to make them work. Some are more wishful hobbyists (or delusional) while some may have more success. ursa-sec dot com are developing one but it's on the backburner as they maintain their production of their other FRT offerings for the AUG, MP5, AR15, AK, and Glock platforms. Outside of the obvious issues regarding the more unique way the firearm operates there are further considerations for the different versions and calibers. It'd be very cool if someone gets one working. It is a complicated and niche platform though.

If someone did make a binary trigger, or somehow design an FRT that would work with the Vector you know your boy would jump all over that

There is the Double Tap Trigger a binary trigger for the vector, don't know how good it is but here's a guy shooting it at the range. Read you can't not shoot the 2nd release trigger pull shot.
 
I was reading that recent thread in A&N subforum about that nig stealing a handgun right out of from some other man's holster and then killing the man with his own weapon.

And some people in the thread were discussing about what is a safe or unsafe holster for EDC, in terms of retention and conspicuousness.

So as not to derail that thread, I will ask here if this is an unsafe holster.

The strap must be pulled out of the metal bar in order to lift the flap clear.

A cloth OWB holster that is janky, loose, and has poor retention. That's not safe.
I'd count it as technically a level two but practically a level one retention holster as in almost one motion you can unbuckle and lift the flap to have complete control of the gun. If I were to open carry in public safely I'd want it to be with at least a real level 2 kydex holster for rigidity and making it hard(er) for someone to yank it out.
Was the flap properly closed on the firearm even?

The flap closes all the way with most single- and double-stack pistols, but the bottom of the magazine is always partially visible from the back, especially for wider double-stack. There's not as much give to the canvas as I expected, but there is just enough slack to accommodate double-stack pistols.

The real question is why are you open carrying? Having your pistol snatched and used against you happens to cops, so why would you put yourself at risk for that?
 
I don't open carry. I just picked up that holster for my milsurp collection and was curious how it rates against modern kit, as I don't know much about holsters.

Well if you let a Nog get to the point where he can grab your firearm while you’re 100% unaware you probably shouldn’t carry a firearm.

Not really a safe holster, but far better than just keeping it your back pocket.

if you're doing logistics/support on a battlefield or hiking and worried about your pistol falling out while running around, then no, it's a safe holster and is a timeless simple design that is flexible for outdoor work even when mounted or in jungle or desert or arctic since it doesn't freeze up and if the canvas is waxed it's water repellent too.

for everyday carry it's unsafe since there isn't much protection against other people taking the gun and it offers little utility if you're in a chair or a vehicle.
 
I've got almost everything to run my Hybrid 46m on my Vector. All I'm waiting on is the 9mm bore cap for the can itself. The tri-lug muzzle device arrived today and I got it mounted with a decent amount of Rocksett on the threads. Man I can't wait to get a stock mounted on this thing.

Edit: I also discovered a pretty kino feature on the Vector. When you lift up the charging handle away from the side of the receiver without actually pulling it to the rear, it will move the bolt back just enough to do a brass check to see if a round is chambered. It makes me wonder why this feature hasn't been introduced to more rifles/SMGs/PCCs.

My bro just bought himself his first suppressor, an Osprey 45. He only had to wait like a day and a half for the approval. He's super stoked about it. He plans on getting a rimfire can for his second suppressor.

Just caught FocusTripp’s latest stream, and it looks like Anderson Mfg is possibly going out of business? At the very least, none of their listings for full firearms or lowers seem to work on their site anymore.

Pour one out for the Poverty Pony, boys.

their profit margin couldn't have been much, and now that Trumps back in office another slump is coming for the tactical part of the industry.

Tactical firearms like AR's and such are very dependent on having a aura of fear and doom in the US to make good money. record profits during the summer of love after george floyd OD'd, but early on in the first trump admin profits hit rock bottom.

and you have the fact that AR's, NV, armor, lasers, and all that hype beast shit have reached the point of oversaturation. There is too much to choose from spreading the money too thin.
