Getting closer! Looks like we should have some solid info soon. I enjoyed shooting it at SHOT this year.

My sg 553 needs one of those!

Post pics of the M5 that you took, if you still have them. Any extra info would be nice. Run time?

Side note, why doesn't AP just release the M5S at the same time?

As I understand it, there will not be an S model. The battery compartment won't fit down low.

AP and a few others have stated that the battery compartment is where it is to allow for the various mounts to be attached. Moving it lower means having to develop a new mounting system and the customer wanted it backwards compatible.

For the uninitiated, what would be a quick summary of what makes it better than the M4?

The M5 is Aimpoint Micro sized.

If it was a low battery I would bite. I'll stick to the T1/2 and M4s as this doesn't do much that the others don't for me.

I'd love a bunch of them, BUT being a lefty I'm not sure I would like the high battery compartment. That's why all of the M4 models I've had have been the S model.
