    How well do they lock up? How are the ergonomics of it and how thick are they? As mentioned earlier, are the holes kinda large?

    Or just give a basic review.....please

    But again, I've never handled one so it might not be a problem at all.
    I'm always dumbfounded at what people can do when I teach courses, like pinch their fingers in the ejection port, or closing their hands in the weapon during assembly. While I don't think it would be easy, I'm sure there are people who balance out the bell curve who could manage to put their finger, tongue, or other appendage in there.

    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

    I'm working on a writeup right now, I'll post a link to it in a little bit. I didn't know they were going to be released yet, so I didn't have the article finished.

    Actually, with the rail covers on in your picture it doesn't look quite as likely, but again - nature can always invent a better idiot so...

    Oh, and I'm with burgeman on the pics - Stickman gun-porn in the morning is always good!

    I ordered 2 - no idea when they will ship.

    I also have a Centurion C4 coming and I'll do a write up as well. The Fortis looks like it uses the same locking mechanism as the C4 with the standard barrel nut.

    Ordered 2 myself. I tried to get a lead time date, but had no such luck.
