    He has a Gen 4 G17 9mm but the rep stopped in while I was there waiting on the ACOG and had the G22 .40....it was sweet!

    I love ACOGs, if I did more long distance shooting I'd make it a priority to pick one up. They're insanely durable, user-friendly, and effective... too bad they're so friggin' expensive!!! In the military we used the cheveron version, I'd like to check out the doughnut reticle sometime and see if it's better or worse. One day I'll get a deal on one... one day...

    The only real upgrade I could see for your ACOG is a LaRue QD mount, the factory one is a little lacking.

    Congrats!

    Thanks! I was actually looking into the A.R.M.S. #19 LD mount. The Larue as well. I just like the low profile of the #19.

    I doubt you'll find many people that recommend ARMS here.

    Noticed something going on with the reticle after my initial post. The bottom right side of the reticle is not illuminating. No obstruction on the FO tube. Dealer had another one overnighted which came tonight and they sent the wrong one......UGGGHHHHH!

    The one that I had (ordered) was the M4CP and they sent the A4CP which is for a 20 in barrel. My dealer said that he would rectify and have the correct one sent to my destination in Michigan.

    All I want to do is shoot and things keep happening. I should have the new one to my hotel on Tuesday. Other than 1 being for the 14.5 barrel and 1 for the 20, can anyone provide any insight as to the true differences?

    Nice! An ACOG is on my long-term "OMG I want one bad!" list, but wow are they expensive. I'll figure out how to scrounge up the $$$ eventually for my 16" Middy, but it won't be anytime real soon.

    Hope you enjoy it!

    It's not a slam. It's fact.

    The mounting clamps that interface to your rail can vary pretty widely from one to another, to the point that you have to shim your rail with tinfoil or the like, or that it's so tight that you break the throw-arm (which is a MIM part; 6 metric tons of suck in a small package) trying to get the thing to close. Add to that that you hve no way of adjusting this to fit rail variations or wear to same. Booo.

    Also, instead of responding to customer feedback and doing product development, ARMS sues LaRue and others. ARMS design was hot stuff in the 90s, but the design hasn't changed since them, in spite of developments in materials and methodology. They're like the college freshman party girl that never learned; she's ugly and looks like a saddle 15 years later, and is dumb enough to wonder why men don't hit on her like they used to.

    It's possible to get lucky and get an ARMS mount that works just fine; tight without being too tight, verifiable return to zero. It's not quite unicorn-rare, but the chances of it happening are small enough, and their business practices are snotty and snobby enough that they are weak sauce in comparison to LaRue, ADM, and Bobro.
