Bought this with the expectation of it being a cheap product that would get me a way to carry a sidearm on me when out in the woods hunting. Doesn’t even fit for the pistols stated in the description. It also says it has a thumb guard cover which it does not. Barely a level 1 holster. The plastic is about the same type as a airsoft gun and would likely shatter the first time you fell down on it. I’m not going to tell anyone how to spend their money, but I was highly disappointed, I’ll be attempting to return this and hopefully won’t have to update that they kept my money even after trying to return it.

I just purchased this item. I have not seen anything that I do not like except for the openness from the top of the bag to the gun holders, and also the loaded 1911 mag that was in one of the side pockets. ngclab.com won’t take it back like that but the seller is helping out. I definitely would recommend this to other people. 3stars is for ngclab.com not the product or the seller.

This went better than expected. I work different jobs and have seperate weapons for those jobs. This QLS system actually fit the bill quite well to swap between them without having to pull my duty belt apart. 100% recommend. Only thing I wish they sold was a kit that had 2 forks and one slide but that's ok.

I am trying to be fair here as this is my 1st magnifier of this type, and thus I am not sure what are flip-magnifier issues and what are particular to this one. The good: Ghost G3 is very well-made and robust. The mount is awesome as it both moves easily from one position to another, yet stays put in each. Tough bit, when you think about it. The glass is clear. The uncertain: It takes quite a bit of fiddling to get the gap between the optics right and G3 tuned up to work with it. You never know when you have nailed it or should keep trying. The magnifier magnifies EVERYTHING, including the dot or reticle (I worked with both). So, yes, the objects are at 5x.... and so is the former dot (now a bit of a blob) or reticle. Obvious, I suppose, but it caught me, and I was not entirely pleased. I note Monstrum makes a 2x Pre-magnifier. That would NOT have this problem, and if they ever make it in a 3 for 4x, I will line up to try it. The bad: Holy monkey, this thing weighs down a build. It IS heavy, but given that it sit as the highest thing, it really has some influence. Then, you flip it off to the side....... This (a flip-magnifier) is not for me. Too big/heavy/clunky for a pistol build, and anything with a longer reach would be better off with an LPVO. My opinion. But if I was taken with them, I think this Ghost G3 would serve just fine. Yes heavy, but yes cheap.

Worked when I had one issued, bought one for the wife for matching custom bugout bags in our retirement. If they worked in Afghanistan, they'll work in the suburbs. Buy one, you need it. Quality second to none. Post Script: the added goodies thrown in like the Molle pouches are the best!

This is the most fun target on the range. We just keep adding to our collection. If you are wondering if they will hold up yes they will. They are meant for the 22 and suit that just fine. We shoot at 35 yards and beyond with the rifle and 10 yards with the pistol. They knock down just fine.

I want to start off by saying that I really love this holosight -- but I can't say that. What I really need to tell you is that I would have loved this site if it were what it was claimed to be, but the actual unit fell far short of my expectations. I'll start off with a little bit of info about me as a reviewer. I have been interested in long range precision and premium grade optics since the 1990s. I own Zeiss, Schmidt & Bender, Tangent Theta and old Leupolds. Although this was my first holographic sight purchase it was not my first red dot sight (RDS) purchase. I have experience using RDS and have no problems with them. I have 20/10 vision and I do not have astigmatism. I have some presbyopia that limits my ability to focus up close, which results in excellent vision that is biased toward focusing at infinity to render a holographic site picture very clear. I have had no problems whatsoever with RDS products by Aimpoint, Trijicon and Holosun or any claims of "astigmatism." Now about the EOTEch sight -- on opening the package I was concerned that I was shipped an item that had previously been returned but was being re-sold as a "NewItem." This is because the mandatory EOTech export restriction warning label on the side of the packaging had been covered up with another label that said, "X001UTZT6L 112850413 EOTECH EXPS3 Holographic Weapon Sight NewItem." (see attached photo). I was worried by the fact that the arms restriction export label had been covered up by a label that declared this unit to be a "NewItem". How could an item being sold as new from the EOTech Store on ngclab.com be anything but new? This label being stuck to the side of the box, directly over the manufacturer's export restriction label, raised my eyebrows. Unboxing showed an item that appeared to be new/unused, as there was no evidence of previous mounting on the quick-detach Picatinny mount. The unit had the typical problems with incomplete and/or excessive glue on the glass windows, as others have mentioned in their ngclab.com reviews. That's not worrisome to me in the short term, but it does give me pause to think about the horror stories that I've heard about EOTech sights having their glass delaminating after 5 years (when they are no longer covered by the factory warranty) and reticles going dim due to nitrogen depressurization. If you read the warranty information closely, you get 5 years of free repairs, then 5 years of service for $100, then you get nothing. That means that this is at best, a 10-year optic and cannot be considered a 20-year optic or a lifetime optic. There are plenty of horror stories about people sending in EOTechs that are out of warranty and EOTech refusing to service them. As a practical matter, that means that you have to pay close attention to even the smallest glass/lamination/adhesive defects on delivery, as those defects may result in the failure of your optic rendering it non-serviceable and non-repairable. Then you have to resign yourself to the fact that you're going to be SOL after 10 years if the optic should develop a problem, as EOTech does not offer a lifetime warranty like others in the industry. Instead, they recommend the purchase of another new optic. The deal killer for this purchase -- the reason that I had to return it -- were what appeared to be manufacturing defects in the reticle and poor quality control. No, I'm not complaining about "fuzziness" in the reticle. That's a user training problem. Holographic reticles will appear fuzzy or pixelated if you focus on them instead of on the target. You need to train yourself to look through the reticle and focus on the target so that the reticle will appear clear. That technique works well once you are able to master it. The problem with this sight was different -- on this sight when I would focus at a distant target the Speed Ring (aka the "donut of death") would appear as a sharp collection of pixels, but the 50/200 yard and 500 yard "dots" did not appear as dots; they appeared as crescents. (see the attached image). No amount of intensity adjustment could make the images appear as dots, the crescents just got brighter or dimmer. The problem is that these targeting "dots" do not appear as dots because there is a defect in the alignment of the holographic grate that projects the dots onto the reticle. This unit was clearly mis-aligned at the factory (or damaged in the supply/distribution network) and never should have been sold to the public. In my opinion this is most likely a manufacturing defect and a quality control failure. The extra label that has been added to the box appears to indicate that the item was purchased, returned, inspected, and marked for resale without bothering to fix the defect. (see attached photos). So now I have two options: return for refund or jump through warranty hoops with EOTech. My decision was to take the money and run. If an item is defective on purchase, I never go through warranty I just return it. I'm very disappointed that I have to go this route, because I got a great price on this optic during the EOTech end of summer sale at the EOTech ngclab.com Store. It's unlikely that I'm ever going to find a deal like this again (I've been price watching for a long time). It's just too bad that when I finally found the item on sale by the manufacturer, I appeared to be the recipient of someone's decision to unload their dud merchandise. This is really disappointing because I want to buy an American product from an American company and I'm willing to pay more to get quality, but I'm not willing to pay more just to buy American if the quality is substandard. The quality needs to be there. Right now it looks like EOTech is sitting on their laurels and passing off sub-par/rejects/seconds during their "sales", hoping that non-discriminating buyers won't notice that they're being shipped seconds. EOTech needs to improve their QC and needs to offer a lifetime warranty to remain competitive in the current marketplace. I hate to say it, but the EOTech is being returned, I'm falling back to using a Holosun HS512C, and now I'm shopping for the Vortex UH-1 primarily for it's warranty. About recticle options: I purchased the EXPS3-2 because I wanted some long distance ranging capability, but I was not willing to consider the EXPS3-4. The Type -4 reticle is just too difficult to use without a magnifier, and if the dots are not crisp, the Type -4 reticle offers no advantage. Indeed, the Type -2 reticle offers very little advantage, and is best used with magnification. My two cents on this is that the Type -4 ranging dots are crowded and you can't really benefit from them unless you use a magnifier. The Type -2 is also crowded (but less crowded than the Type -4). The Type -2 is best used with magnification, but could be usable without magnification if you've got excellent eyesight and a good specimen of the holosight. (I have good eyesight but I got a lemon holosight). All things considered, if I had to do it all over again I'd probably just buy the Type -0 reticle (single dot) because the rifle I'm going to use with this holosight is intended for close range combat style shooting, not long range precision, and the 500 yard dot really is not needed for non-DMR/civilian applications. About the photography: These photos were taken of the actual unit being reviewed. A Zeiss Otus manual focus telephoto lens and Nikon DSLR were used in manual focus mode to accurately focus the camera at infinity to provide the clearest possible rendering of the projected reticle on a dark background. This method yielded the clearest possible rendering of the EOTech reticle, removing all of the fuzziness and as much pixellation as possible. Photographs were taken at each of the available visible light settings on the EOTech using "small" lens aperture at the camera's diffraction limit of f/8 to maximize apparent depth of field while avoiding any diffraction-limited effects on resolution; exposure control was performed manually by "chimping" shutter speed until a suitable image was obtained; long exposures (1/15) at medium ISO were used to prevent the introduction of "grain" by the camera sensor. Photos were selected that showed the most clear definition of the reticle image. Notice that on the EOTech reticle was uniformly in focus within a single plane, while the Holosun reticle had the top and bottom of the Speed Ring appearing at subtly different focus distances near infinity, which results in the "donut" being thicker toward the top of the image than on the bottom; this variation in thickness at the top/bottom reverses when the camera lens' focus is subtly adjusted, indicating that the projection of the Holosun reticle does not lie uniformly in the vertical plane. (the glass is canted). I don't notice this "defect" in real world use on the Holosun, but the crescent-shaped dots are very annoying on the EOTech.

The tripod legs seem very sturdy. The whole unit is very lightweight and can easily be picked up with one hand. It seems like the controls are very strong and smooth. I can picture this stand clamping a rifle and holding it completely, so that you don't even need to hold it. The tripod adjusts high enough to where I could glass/canvas through a rifle scope at a standing height. There is a feature with the feet where you can spin the feet, and ground spikes will appear. Spin the feet the other direction, and rubber feet will cover up the spikes, better for harder surfaces, perhaps concrete at the range. I have no way to make a value judgment for this. I am not an expert in tripods so I don't know what a bigger name brand would cost.

I purchased this for a custom rifle I built. Only problem is no foam to protect the rifle. I like the case but not if it doesn’t come with the foam insert.

Great camera very well built and extremely easy to use. That’s the best part is the ease of use.

The first thing I noticed about this pack, aside from the attractive pattern, was the quality material construction (500D nylon with YKK zippers). The 15L size is perfect daypack size without being overkill, and it's got structure versus something like a flashpack that is basically a sack with straps. There are two stash pockets on the back exterior and the interior has a built in laptop/tablet pocket. There are bottle pockets on either side of the pack. They won't hold a Nalgene, so keep that in mind. Standard water bottles fit just fine. If you're a patch person, there's a place square on the backside for that. The amount of padding on the back of the pack and in the straps is notable and should increase comfortability if carrying a heavier load.

Bought this for my wife to carry her new Sig P365 thinking it was a "good get-by" holster, and was AMAZED by the quality. I'm a horse guy, so I have a lot of experience with leather products (saddles, headstalls, halters, etc), and I was blown away by the quality of this holster. I stood just feeling it and smelling it for a while. We put the gun in it, and the fit was good immediately. It was very snug, so I put the 365 in it and wore it for a day, and she carried it for a while, when we were outside working. I know there's still some breaking in to do, but already, after just a few days, the leather has already stretched a little and conformed PERFECTLY to the P365. Length is good, clip is solid. Draw is smooth. Plenty of room to get a good drawing grip. I can carry it appendix, or 3:30 hip. Wife wore it clipped onto some jean shorts in appendix position, and also worked with a belly band holster sold by an "out of this world" vendor, and she loved it, and she's only 4'11" We will definitely be buying more from this vendor. Confession: I got it out to put some pics on this review and found myself smelling it again.

They hold a lot of bbs they work really well and they feed amazing. When you are loading it with a Odin speed loader it might feel like something is going to snap or brake it is just because it has a big spring Pros: they feed amazing, they hold a lot of bbs, they work with a lot of different type of bbs, they are light. Cons: they need a speed loader, they are very hard to load.

I had my doubt's about this case but man was I wrong. It's built like a tank and IMO is better than a Pelican and way lighter. I purchased this to travel to Florida for a detecting trip to meet up with some friends. If your looking for a really solid case for cheap, this is the way to go. And it has wheels!!!!!
